Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage may be just what you need if you have been juggling life's
many demands - perhaps your work life balance is off and you haven't had a moment to look after your own needs.. You may be feeling overwhelmed but are still pushing through and ignoring what your body is telling you.
Perhaps you're experiencing:
◦ Tight, aching muscles
◦ Tension in your back, neck and shoulders
◦ Stiffness after long hours at a desk
◦ Muscle fatigue from exercise or physical work
◦ A busy mind the just doesn't switch off
Therapeutic massage offers time to pause and give your body some care. Each session is tailored to you, with pressure and attention adjusted to your comfort and the areas that need it most. It can help ease muscular tension, encourage relaxation and leave you feeling more comfortable in your body.
Regular massage is known to really help
◦Relieve pain: It eases chronic back aches, neck stiffness, and sore muscles.
◦ Reduce stress: The process reduces stress hormones like cortisol.

Making time for a massage is a deeply restorative act of self-care. It's incredibly important to take one hour for yourself, completely away from life's demands. Your body breathes a sigh of relief. A deep sense of stillness takes over. The stress you've been carrying starts to melt away, making this routine self-care practice the perfect way to leave feeling lighter, calmer, and genuinely like yourself again.
What Is Therapeutic Massage?
How It Works
Therapeutic massage goes beyond basic relaxation. By working directly with the muscles and soft tissue throughout your body, massage eases built-up tension and encourages your entire system to unwind. Depending on what your body needs on any given day, the pressure can range from light to firm. No matter the technique, the treatment is designed to be deeply grounding and calming, bringing you into a state of profound relaxation leaving you deeply relaxed phyiscally and emotionally.
Because everyone carries stress differently, each massage will be slightly different and tailored towards what you need on the day. The Alami cabin is very peaceful and many clients fall into a deeply relaxed state during a massage.
The Ultimate Return to Yourself
Prioritising this time is a powerful step in your wellness routine. Taking just one hour for yourself, completely away from life's external demands, is a necessary act of self-care. During this hour, your physical knots unwind and a deep sense of stillness takes over. As the pressure and heavy clutter you’ve been carrying start to drift away, the experience allows you to step back out into the world feeling lighter, calmer, more grounded, and genuinely like yourself again.

What Should I Expect At My Massage with Alami ?
Your Therapeutic Massage session lasts around 60 minutes, or if you choose a full body massage this is 75 minutes. This takes place in The Alami Cabin, a welcoming space for you to unwind.
The massage bed is super comfy, with a heated blanket to keep you warm in cooler months. I'll leave the room to allow you to get ready and on the bed in your own time. Never any rush.
I'll clean your feet if I'm massaging them with hot flannels. This is a soothing and wonderful way to begin. I'll use a range of techniques and will use a blend of organic oils - with essential oils if agreed with you. A full body massage also includes a foot massage with some reflexology points included - depending on what's going on with you on the day. If you choose a therapeutic 60 minute massage we will discuss the areas you need working on.
I won't talk unless you start the conversation during the massage. It's your massage so you choose. A quieter massage can often encourage you to switch off more and will allow your body to move into 'healing mode'. However a massage can also be an opportunity to offload, and I'm equally here for this too. All conversations are confidential. You are in a safe space with me.
Once your massage is finished you will be left to relax on the bed for a few minutes and then ready in your own time. A hairbrush, mirror and water are available. Choose a herbal tea to take with you and then take an extra hour at home to sit and enjoy, put your feet up and let the benefits of your massage really soak in.
