Balancing Full Body Massage
Select from 1 hour - 90 or 120 minutes
How would you describe this treatment to me?
Therapeutic or holistic massage offers many physical benefits by promoting relaxation in both your mind and body. It can help you sleep better, improve your mood, lower blood pressure, and reduce stress. By consulting with you, I will to ensure that your massage targets areas where you hold the most tension, and guided by your needs it will be tailored to give you the best possible outcome. Expect to leave with reduced pain and increased endorphins.
What can I expect?
I use a deep Swedish massage to relax tight muscles. I focus on problem areas using a mix of Eastern Trigger Point Therapy and Acupressure to reduce pain. A Gua-Sha tool enhances circulation and reduces muscle adhesions. This combined approach can effectively relieve long held tensions, and daily stress for my clients.
How will I benefit from this treatment?
This treatment is ideal if you are suffering from tension throughout the body. Although we may consciously hold much of our tension in our back and shoulders, a full body massage is beneficial in revealing hidden tensions, enabling a better flow of energy throughout the body, and bringing greater alignment. This valuable time for deep physical release will help you to disconnect from busy thoughts. You will breathe more deeply, stand taller, and feel more focused. The benefits of increased circulation and endorphins will bring greater energy and deeper relaxation in rest and sleep.
Tension Release - Back and Facial Massage
Select from 1 hour - 90 or 120 minutes
How would you describe this treatment to me?
This deep massage is multi-faceted with the added benefits of Eastern techniques to bring you a greater release of tension. I use a combination of Trigger Point Therapy and Acupressure massage to break down pain receptors. The application of a Gua-Sha tool improves circulation and breaks down adhesions, leaving you feeling both recharged and relaxed. This combined approach has incredible results for my clients, alleviating pain and the stresses of daily life.
What can I expect?
Western Swedish Massage with it’s deep releasing strokes and kneading movements are combined with the ancient Chinese technique of Gua-Sha, (this is the use of a flat tool of natural stone like rose quartz to break down adhesions and increase circulation) highly effective for muscle rejuvenation. By finding knots or areas of tightness that present pain, (held tension within your muscles) I can use trigger point therapy, and breath work applying pressure to contracted muscles with tension-releasing results. Natural Facelift massage and Gua-Sha will focus on releasing the head and neck muscles reducing stresses we unconsciously hold at the base of our skulls and in our faces. I will end your session by teaching you some isometric head and neck stretches when you are dressed before you leave, giving you the tools to maximise your sense of release in the following days and empowering you to find release from daily tensions going forward.
How will I benefit from this treatment?
This treatment is ideal for tension headaches from neck and shoulder strain. Repetitive tasks lead to tightness not only in the back and shoulders but also in the jaws and face. Facial massage can provide significant relief and deep relaxation, addressing often-unnoticed tension.

Natural Facelift Massage
How would you describe this treatment to me?
This amazing non-invasive treatment uses effective massage methods from Japanese and Indian face massage, also called Facial Rejuvenation or Natural Lift. Using quick upward strokes this treatment will help to remove toxins, resulting in a brighter, firmer face while promoting deep relaxation and easing tension in your face, jaw, and scalp. This ongoing tension can limit blood flow, depriving tissues of nutrients and oxygen. Over time, waste products accumulate, causing the skin to lose its flexibility. Facial rejuvenation helps relax these tissues, restoring the skin's elasticity by boosting collagen and hydration.
What can I expect?
An hour-long treatment without oil, the Natural Facelift massage involves a combination of quick and slow deep strokes to lift, reduce lines, and increase hydration and collagen production naturally. By massaging with the pads of fingers & thumbs, these movements will stimulate your circulation aiding exfoliation, and giving you a lifted brighter complexion, releasing tension in your face, jaw, and scalp.
Improved circulation helps to move waste out of the tissues and replenish the skin cells with oxygen & nutrients revitalising the skin.
How will I benefit from this treatment?
The Natural Facelift massage will lift and brighten your face as well as address tension caused by busy thoughts and can help alleviate headaches and sinus pain. Stress & tension dissolve as the treatment brings about a feeling of deep relaxation to the whole body. If you prefer a natural approach to facial rejuvenation that avoids needles and chemicals, this is an incredibly effective approach that gives a revived look and lifts emotions at the same time.
Natural Facelift massage gives visible results that last for up to 72 hours and is a brilliant treatment for you to have before an event for a lifted radiant look to your complexion.
To benefit from the effects this massage can give on a longer-term basis, it is recommended to have 6 weekly sessions initially followed by a monthly plan. This method will give your face a fresh look and improve blood flow, oxygen levels, and collagen growth naturally.
Pregnancy Massage
How would you describe this treatment to me?
Your pregnancy massage (prenatal massage) is a tailored treatment taking into account all of the the changes occurring at this developmental time. My role is to help you to find time to rest, and repair in the hands of a therapist specifically trained to take care of the pregnant woman safely. The reassuring touch of massage aims to ease anxiety and stress, addressing some of the physiological affects associated with pregnancy, such as lower and upper back pain, or pelvic girdle/hip pain. If you are searching for pregnancy massage, at Drift, I am here to help.
What can I expect?
The Drift pregnancy massage is not dissimilar to the techniques of a Swedish massage, however there are some notable differences that take pregnancy into account ensuring your wellbeing.
I will utilise many slow Swedish massage techniques, however the use of targeted and deep therapy will not be used due to the risk of thrombosis (particularly if undiagnosed), and to avoid particular acupressure points.
I will make greater use of side-lying positions, as this will be a far more comfortable position to be in naturally and avoid long periods lying on your back.
How will I benefit from this treatment?
Massage is not only beneficial to Mum but also to your foetus. For you as a Mother it improves circulation and oxygenation of soft tissues, helping to distribute nutrients to the body and placenta.
Muscular tensions and cramps can feel greatly eased, alleviating discomfort, and by helping to increase your feel-good hormones (serotonin and dopamine) the release of oxytocin can lift your mood giving you a better sense of wellbeing.
Touch can positively affect your baby, improving blood flow with nutrients for healthy growth. Massage can also help support posture for both you and your baby, potentially leading to an easier delivery.
During my pre-natal training I was lucky to learn about the benefit of the Rebozo. Woven shawls made in Mexico were used daily and became a tool with which women could offer one another support during pregnancy labour and beyond. By using the gentle techniques of wrapping a Rebozo scarf around your waist or bump to help loosen the pelvis, we can encourage space for baby to move to a more optimum birthing position toward the end of your pregnancy between weeks 34-37.
It is important to note that only light to medium pressure will be used throughout the pregnancy massage.
This experience is aimed to be calming and deeply fulfilling.
I am honoured to be a part of your journey.
