Relaxation Massage
60/90/120min - 70/100/120€
Our most popular massage, the Swedish massage is a relaxing full-body massage using long, smooth strokes to ease tension and promote relaxation. Swedish relaxation massage therapy affects your whole being physically, emotionally and mentally. It is generally regarded as the most common form of relaxation massage, involving a combination of five basic strokes which concentrate on the muscles and connective tissues of the body for improved circulation, relaxation, pain relief, overall health, maintenance and well being.
This full body massage reduces tension, improves blood circulation, aids detoxification and increases mobility and the range of motion in joints. It stimulates and soothes the nervous system and relieves aches and pains, bringing about a sense of total relaxation.

Lymph Drainage Massage

Lymphatic Drainage massage is used in many ways. The Vodder technique uses soft light strokes and is a rhythmic form of massage. It totally detoxes the body, working on oedema, the nervous system, the musculatory system and the immune system as it eliminates toxins that build up in the body. This massage is suitable for people suffering from MS, prolonged illness as it fights infection and helps the immune system, or those who do excessive sports, have regular muscle cramps Pregnancy Oedema, post surgery and for cancer patients.
The Brazilian technique is more vigorous and is used for weight loss and water retention.
Depending on your needs will depend on the type of techniques I use as the intensity of the strokes have to vary according to your body's needs. For cancer patients and post surgery, this massage will be very light and gentle. For any weight loss requirements the intensity will be greater and more vigorous.

Pregnancy & Post Natal Massage
Pregnancy 90min - 100€
During pregnancy, your body is going through many changes and stresses, both emotionally and physically. Pregnancy massage is beneficial to the mother as it nourishes the skin and using special oils regularly it can aid in reducing stretch marks. It can also help in later months in reducing water retention and helping the pelvic region as it softens and moves in preparation for birth. It is also beneficial to the baby. As the mother relaxes, her pulse slows and her breathing becomes deeper and longer which relaxes the baby and improves circulation of blood, nutrients and happy hormones between mother and baby.
This pampering massage technique (which can be performed from 12 weeks up to delivery date) is specifically designed to alleviate muscle tension and aches, relieve swelling and promote a general state of wellbeing for the mother-to-be. It can also aid sleep and alleviate cramps.
Post Natal 90min - 100€
Post-natal massage can be performed as soon after the birth as you, your baby, and your medical practitioner feel appropriate. Post-natal massage has many benefits including assisting the body’s recovery process from the birth, helping the bones and muscles to return to their normal form, nourishment of the skin and promoting the flushing out of water retention. Post-natal massage assists the body in the production of hormones that help the production of breast milk and fight against post-natal depression and fatigue. It also gives the mother all-important time for herself.
One of the techniques I use during post-natal massage is to lay your new born on you for the latter part of the massage, helping with the bonding process and also letting your baby feel you relaxed and serene.
Labaour Massage Techniques
120min - 120€
During the final three months of pregnancy, I find it beneficial to have a session with both client and partner to help understand what is happening to your body whilst in labour and how specific massage techniques and other techniques can contribute to the birthing process.
This can also be a refresher if you have already followed a hypnobirthing course and this is a second birth or you are new to the birth procedures and protocols here in Beglium and would like some independent guidance.
Being a qualified hypnobirhting teacher and having been trained and worked with midwives, there are a number of tips and hints I will pass on to you to help both of you during this period.
Where necessary I will give you a small folder for you to read at your leisure, tailored to meet your concerns.
Baby Massage
60min - 70€
The first language a baby learns is touch and is the most important communication and bonding tool you can have with your baby. Baby massage assists in the development of breathing, circulation, digestive systems, muscles and senses building your baby’s relationship with the world and their surroundings. As in all massage, oxytocin (the happy hormone) is released, which helps to sooth and calm your baby.
This is a lesson where I massage a demonstration model and you massage your baby. I give you a course book to keep with images to remind you how to massage baby.
Child Massage
60min +/- - 70€
There are so many more stresses and expectations on children in today’s modern world that can lead to behavioural problems, both emotional and physical. Continuing the massage process throughout childhood has many benefits, including assisting with growing pains, hyperactivity and sleep problems, as well as providing an opportunity for children to learn to be present and experience serenity.
Child massage is incredibly beneficial to children suffering from autism or ADHD. I have devised special techniques for children to communicate to me without the need for speech, in order for me give them the treatment they want and to maximize their experience and trust in me.
In the beginning I would expect a parent to be present when working with children, until both parent and child have full trust in me.
