Massage in Holborn & East Dulwich, London.

Massage in Holborn & East Dulwich for health and wellbeing

From injury management to relaxation and pain relief during pregnancy, massage treatments are proven to help relieve stress and reduce aches and pains caused by everyday living. 

You can target specific injuries or problems such as back pain or shoulder tension or have a full body treatment to boost circulation and detoxification.

It is well known that massage results in physiological changes in the body. The techniques used cause a reduction in the production of the stress hormone cortisol and an increase in the product of serotonin and positive endorphins produced in the brain.

A relaxing massage will also lower blood pressure and slow the rate of breathing which calms the mind and helps the brain to move in to restorative alpha brain waves from the busy beta waves that we usually operate at when occupied with tasks.

As well as these changes, massage will warm the muscles, boost the circulation and help to drain lymphatic fluid – an important part of the immune system.

Her experience and continued training has helped to develop an intuitive sense for locating restrictions in the body where, often, there is an emotional aspect attached.

Her practice has been strongly influenced by her personal recovery from a serious sporting accident several years ago where she received massage and acupuncture to alleviate the symptoms.  Prior to retraining as an acupuncturist and massage therapist in London, she worked for several years in a City law firm so understands very well the stresses and time constraints on busy working people.
