Treatment

Facial Lymphatic Drainage Massage

45 mins£56

Facial lymphatic drainage massage uses light, rhythmic massage techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins and waste from the body.

Anyone can benefit from this facial treatment which encourages lymph flow, reduces fluid retention and helps to detoxify the skin.

The facial starts with a cleanse to remove any surface dirt and toxins and hot towels are used to open up the pores. Next, serum and lymphatic techniques are applied to the neck, chest, face, scalp. The facial concludes with moisturiser and eye serum.

All the products I use are from Neal's Yard Remedies.

Full Body Massage

1 hr£60

The top-to-toe full body Swedish massage is a very relaxing treatment that covers the feet, legs, back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, scalp and face.

The main goal of Swedish massage is to calm the body and mind, and lightly release muscle tension. A combination of firm and lighter strokes to the muscles will be applied, with the goal of relaxing the muscle tissues and increasing blood flow to the heart, using non-scented and hypo-allergic Grapeseed Oil.

Full Body Massage - extended

Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage

40 mins£38

Deep-Rest Massage

1 hr 30 mins£95

If you’re feeling tired but wired, struggling to switch off at night, or waking up still exhausted, this treatment is designed for you.

My Deep-Rest Massage is a slow, soothing 90-minute experience created to help your body soften out of “doing mode” and into a state of deep rest - the place where your nervous system can settle, your breathing can deepen, and sleep comes more naturally.

This session focuses on the parts of the body most connected to stress, overwhelm, and sleep: the back, neck and shoulders, legs, face and scalp — with gentle abdominal massage included as a key part of the treatment to support digestion and relaxation.

Expect long, unhurried strokes, comforting stillness, and a steady rhythm that helps your whole system slow down.

You’ll leave feeling grounded, lighter, and deeply cared for - the kind of calm that stays with you long after you’ve gone home.

(This treatment is ideal for women who carry tension, overthink at bedtime, or simply need a deeper level of rest.)

Hopi Ear Candling with mini Facial Lymphatic Drainage

30 mins£40

Hopi Ear Candling (also known as Thermo-Auricular Therapy) is an ancient practice that is gentle and non-invasive. It can help provide relief from symptoms of ear congestion, sinusitis, and allergies. Additionally, it can have physical benefits from relieving tension headaches to reducing the feeling of pressure in the head. Furthermore, ear candling has a calming and soothing effect on the body and mind, which can help alleviate the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and insomnia, promoting a state of emotional balance and wellbeing.

You will experience a pleasant crackling sound which is akin to being near an open fire and a gentle warmth from the candle burning, both of which many people find deeply relaxing. No ear wax is removed from the ear during the treatment but you may find a slight discharge of wax coming away naturally from the ear post treatment - usually this occurs whilst showering.

This treatment includes facial lymphatic drainage massage which can help promote drainage of lymphatic fluids to reducing build up in the sinuses. It can also help ease tension in the facial muscles and aid general relaxation.

I only use Biosun Hopi Ear Candles which are made by hand using premium quality, pesticide-free, untreated cotton together with beeswax and honey extract. They are 100% Organic and the only Ear Candles to carry the CE 0535 label of conformity, certified medical products according to the EU Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.

About

I qualified at the London School of Massage and specialise in slow, deeply relaxing massage for women who feel stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their bodies.

My work is rooted in Swedish massage, with a strong focus on calming the nervous system, easing tension, and supporting rest rather than “fixing” or pushing the body. Pressure is always adapted to your preferences, and communication is encouraged throughout.

I am trauma-aware and intentionally create a safe, judgement-free space where you can fully relax, soften, and feel held. Many of my clients come to me looking for time out from busy lives, emotional load, burnout, or ongoing stress and to simply feel like themselves again.

Struggling with sleep? I'm also an accredited sleep coach and offer one-off sessions as well as my '28 days to better sleep' plan. Contact me for more information or a free consultation call.

Sessions are unhurried, respectful, and tailored to you. This is a women-only practice.

From the moment you arrive, Helen creates an incredibly warm and welcoming environment where you feel immediately at ease and comfortable. With care and empathy, she tunes in to what you need (maybe without you realising) and her gentle, compassionate approach and attention to detail truly allows you to relax and 'drift.' She is so skilled at her craft and I would have no hesitation in recommending her - she is just outstanding.

I had a 40-minute massage with Helen, and it was simply lovely. She was incredibly welcoming, professional, and took the time to show me helpful stretches to practice at home. To top it off, she gifted me a small roll-on aromatherapy oil. Thank you for such a relaxing, attentive experience. Highly recommended 💛

I have treated myself to first ever massage and I wish I have done it sooner. I was a truly relaxing experience, using beautifully scented oils and in a calming environment. Helen is very skilled and I look forward to my next session.

What a beautiful experience!
I really struggle with an overthinking mind, so I decided to give Helena’s massage a try… and wow.
Her style is unlike anything I’ve experienced before, a slow, gentle touch that guided me into a deeply relaxed state throughout.
Helena is incredibly thoughtful and understanding, and she holds space in such a safe, comforting way.
I felt truly cared for, deeply rested, and I even slept like a log afterwards
Thank you so much Helen!
