Massages

Six ways to spend the hour.

Relaxation, depth, warmth, scent, pregnancy and company. Each one sixty or ninety minutes on the table, with ten minutes of questions and tea before that do not come out of your time.

Two massage tables made up with white linen side by side in a calm attic room with a sloping ceiling and a window

All six

01

Swedish relaxation massage

The classic full-body relaxation massage: long, flowing strokes, kneading and gentle stretches at a pressure you choose, with warm oil and warm towels, in a quiet room with the blinds down. Sixty minutes is back, legs, arms, neck and shoulders; ninety adds the feet, hands and scalp.

02

Deep tissue massage

Slow, firm, specific massage for the muscles that hold on: shoulders that live up near the ears, a lower back that locks, hips that ache after a day in the car. Forearms and elbows, never fast and never something you have to brace against. Sixty minutes £62, ninety £88.

60 min £6290 min £88

03

Hot stone massage

Smooth basalt stones warmed in water to a safe temperature and used as an extension of the therapist's hands: placed along the back to soften the muscles, then glided over them in long, warm strokes. Deeply relaxing, and lovely in winter. Sixty minutes £68, ninety £95.

04

Aromatherapy massage

A gentle, rhythmic full-body massage with a blend of essential oils diluted in a carrier oil, chosen by you from three or four we suggest by smell: something calming, something fresh, something warm. Sixty minutes £62, ninety £88, and the rest of the bottle to take home.

05

Pregnancy massage

Massage for pregnancy from fourteen weeks, by a therapist with a pregnancy massage qualification: lying on your side, propped with pillows, never on your front, working on the lower back, hips, shoulders and swollen feet. Sixty minutes £60, ninety £85.

Your visit

Before, during, after.

  1. Ten minutes early

    A cup of tea, a few health questions, what you want from the hour and how firm. Not taken from your massage time.

  2. The room

    Blinds down, the table warm, towels warm. You undress to your underwear in private and lie under the towel.

  3. The massage

    Sixty or ninety minutes on the table, the pressure checked during, only the area being worked on uncovered.

  4. After

    Water and tea in the relaxation corner, no hurry, and the next one offered only if you want it.
