Jess will draw on relaxation, deep tissue, remedial and sports massage techniques to tailor your massage to you and your needs.

 

After qualifying in Swedish massage, Jess was keen to learn more about anatomy and how massage impacts the body. She went on to study a level 5 diploma in Remedial and Sports Massage at the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork (BCMB) in Clifton. Jess is constantly amazed at how incredible the body is and believes that massage is a wonderful tool we can use to relax and promote healing.

 

When not massaging, Jess can usually be found up a mountain, in a lake, or somewhere cosy, eating cake.

Please click book now to see the massages available.  The appointment time is shown for all massages, this includes a little time for a consultation so a safe treatment can be performed and aftercare advice, if applicable.

Please let us know if you have any questions, we look forward to seeing you soon.

 

Client review:

“A massage with Jess is pure joy.  She is an extremely talented therapist with a wealth of skills and techniques at her disposal.  A ‘full body massage’ does not do her treatment justice, it is a complete experience which I would highly recommend.”  Linda

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage aims to remedy or to make better.  You may have low back pain from sports, your physical job, or sitting at a desk, protracted shoulder blades, problems with breathing mechanics, sciatica, or be recovering from a muscle, tendon or ligament injury.
Remedial massage tunes into the tissue so work is targeted at the right depth.  The slow nature means the body can get used to the pressure and a deeper treatment can be given without triggering a nervous system stress response.
Massage strokes such as effleurage, petrissage, and friction are used to warm and relax, with advanced techniques such as joint mobilisations, neuro-muscular technique (NMT), positional release, soft tissue release (STR), and muscle energy technique (MET) to remove tender and trigger points and lengthen short muscles.
Remedial massage is available to book as Totally Tailored Massage by the massage time you’d like.

 

Hot Stones Massage

You will be massaged with the hot stones – the stones are used as an extension of the therapists hands.  The heat penetrates deep into the tissues and melts away your areas of tension.
Hot stones massage is available as a back, neck and shoulders treatment or full body.
 

 

Pregnancy Massage

A relaxing, full body massage which will be tailored to address your areas of concern on the day.  Pregnancy massage is usually performed in the side lying position and we will ensure you are comfortable and supported throughout.
