I am taking time in January to develop and consolidate practice ideas however, here is a change for November
A clothed massage, generally received on a futon on the floor and sometimes described as a ‘lazy man’s yoga’. (This can also be received on a couch if the futon is not right for you)
Thai bodywork releases muscle tension and balances energy levels, leading to flexibility and strength in the muscles which allows freer movement of joints. Changes may be subtle but are often long lasting.
Adapted for the individual, considered sequences of soft tissue pressing and combinations of stretching and joint mobilisation are given. These techniques also have an energetic focus releasing blockages or stagnation; deeper focused work occurs through acupressure points

As an Ayurvedic therapist, I work with you to understand your individual constitution to choose techniques to encourage a return to centre and balance
The massage includes the use of herb-infused oils and techniques to stimulate, pacify or balance your unique combination of energies or doแนฃa.
As for Thai massage, there is attention to acupressure points called marma or marmani. These points are vulnerable or sensitive zones connected to the physiological and energetic systems of the body. It can feel like having full body reflexology
Ayurvedic massage can be an introduction to lifestyle and nutrition consultations: embodied Ayurveda

About five years ago I had to roll up the futon while my body adapted to some changes but using a combination of yoga, bodyworks and Ayurveda, I am very pleased to be back on the floor as well as the massage couch. The futon allows for a wider range of techniques and deeper work where appropriate
Also, after studying Ayurvedic philosophy and application for a year, my Ayurvedic massage has refocused and deepened
Changes to massage & bodywork appointments
I hope this doesn’t read like a list of rules! This is what I would like to happen …
