Our shoulders carry more than tension — they hold emotion, pressure, and stress. They carry babies, toddlers, rucksacks, school bags. Laptops, nappies, clothes. Work and family pressure. And our experiences settle into our shoulders as extra tension, adding to our emotional and physical load. Through individually tailored massage, I help women in Oxford release tension and find lightness again, in body and mind.
My 75 minute appointments allow time to really understand you and your needs and my unique special touches help you to relax the moment you walk through the door. Massage appointments take place in my dedicated cabin, pictured above, overlooking my garden, hidden away in the heart of Headington, Oxford. You’re welcomed with a warm foot-bath, choice of herbal tea and time to talk about what you need. Your massage lasts 60 minutes with time allowed to change and suggestions to help you get the most from your appointment and support yourself.

Is thinking that rest is lazy, or not for you, or that you don’t have time, holding you back from trying out a restorative yoga or deep rest yoga nidra class with me in Oxford? What if I told you that rest offers power? That resting give you a chance to pause and think about what you really want. What you really want to say. What you really want to do. What choices you make, for yourself and others. What food you nourish your body with. What words and phrases you choose to speak or write, and the tone you use. And the words and tone you choose not to use…
Rest is not lazy. Rest offers you the ultimate in soft power. Rest to relax – and then rise up! From rest comes replenishment – and from that the ability to make different choices. Free of ‘shoulds’. Rest to become relaxed – and from that relaxation – aware. Aware of your needs. Aware of yourself. More aware of others. More aware of this precious human life. What difference might that make to your day, your weekend or week ahead? What difference would a rested version of you make to how you feel about yourself?
Join me for a beautifully relaxing, deeply restful experience where you’ll be nurtured and nourished. Your nervous system soothed and supported, enabling rest throughout the whole body. Improving sleep, immunity, stress and relationships! Give yourself permission to rest and emerge radiant and replenished – able to make choices of how to use your time, your words and actions as the best version of you, the rested version of you. Join a small group of women in restorative yoga or deep rest yoga nidra classes in Oxford – all the dates and booking details are here. Give yourself permission to rest and replenish, to become aware and to make conscious choices. What a difference this could make to our world.
This poem encapsulates resting for me, by the incredible Danna Faulds
Just for now:
“Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness.
Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders.
Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite expanse of the sky grow even wider, as your awareness reaches up to meet it.
Just for now, allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience. Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.
Just for now, be boundless, free, with awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.
Drink in the possibility, of being who and what you really are, so fully alive that the world looks different. Newly born and vibrant. Just for now.”
