Our Deep Tissue And Pain Relief Massages

Deep tissue massage is designed to target chronic tension, tight muscles and areas of discomfort using firm pressure and slow, focused techniques. This treatment works deep into the muscle layers to help break down adhesions, improve mobility and ease pain from long-standing patterns of tension. It is especially effective for those dealing with issues like back pain, stiff shoulders or restricted movement.
Sessions are available in 45, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your needs and how much focus you’d like for specific problem areas.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle yet powerful treatment that supports the body’s natural detox process and helps reduce fluid retention and inflammation.
Using light, rhythmic strokes, it encourages the flow of lymph, which can ease symptoms linked to chronic pain, fatigue, post-surgery recovery and certain health conditions.
This treatment is ideal for those seeking a gentle way to support their immune system, reduce swelling and feel more balanced.
Regular sessions can help manage discomfort while improving overall well-being.

Myofascial Release For Chronic Pain With Clinical Massage Techniques


Myofascial release is a gentle, hands on technique that targets the fascia.
This is the thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles, bones and organs. When this tissue becomes tight or restricted due to stress, injury or poor posture, it can lead to pain and limited movement.
This treatment works slowly and with sustained pressure to ease those restrictions, helping to release tension, improve mobility and restore a greater sense of balance throughout the body. It’s particularly effective for chronic pain, stiffness and areas that feel ‘stuck’ without obvious muscle knots.

All clinical massage session begins with a consultation to understand your specific needs.
From there, the treatment is tailored to focus on the areas that matter most to you, using the appropriate pressure and techniques to deliver real results.

You’ll leave feeling more at ease, deeply relaxed and supported in your journey toward better well-being. To book your appointment, call 07854 630 327 or use the Book Now button to choose a time that works best for you.

Massage FAQ’s

At the moment, we don’t offer treatments for two people at the same time as the treatment cabin is set up for individual sessions. However, we do have a waiting area, so if you’re booking back-to-back massages with a partner or friend, one of you can relax comfortably while the other enjoys their treatment.

We’ll talk through your needs during your consultation before your treatment. Whether you’re looking for deep pressure to target specific aches or a lighter touch to help you unwind, your session will be tailored to suit you.

Yes, you can. Some people prefer quiet, while others feel more comfortable chatting. It’s entirely up to you! The most important thing is that you feel at ease.

Sara was very informative about my leg problems, her massage hit the spot and has given me some relief. Would thoroughly recommend both Carrie and Sara for treatments. Am planning to book another appointment. Thank you

I've been seeing Carrie regularly for massage therapy and I honestly can't recommend her enough. She has helped me with a painful arm/shoulder that had been bothering me and her treatment made a huge difference, I no longer experience any pain. She's incredibly knowledgeable, listens carefully and always tailors the session to what I need that day. Carrie combines skill with a calm, professional manner that puts you at ease. It's clear she genuinely cares about helping her clients feel better and I would highly recommend her.

Carrie is great - I've been going to her for waxing a few years now. Her studio in the garden is absolutely wonderful and she's always been super professional and I can't recommend her more highly.

I can’t recommend Carrie Simmonds enough! I have been plenty of times for waxing. Both Carrie and Sara are incredibly professional, friendly, and makes what could be an awkward experience feel completely comfortable. Their technique is quick, thorough, and surprisingly gentle – I always leave with smooth results and zero irritation. The salon itself is such a gem – it has a cosy, relaxing vibe that instantly puts you at ease (which is definitely needed for an intimate wax!). If you're looking for someone who knows exactly what they’re doing and creates a welcoming space to match, this is the place to go!
