Wellbeing is the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy. Modern living and digital overload can fill our days with data smog and stress as we strive to live our best lives. The result? We don't make time to step back and refocus on what really matters.

​

Our Traditional Swedish Wellbeing Massage is a classic, popular massage that helps you reconnect with the beauty, serenity, abundance, and sensorial delights of peacefulness and calm. It helps elevate our mental and physical well-being by stepping into tranquillity, which keeps our inner resources strong and happiness levels high.

​

This relaxing basic Swedish maintenance massage is perfect for those looking to maintain their body's health and well-being.

Using Traditional organic nourishing oils, the massage uses light to medium strokes and pressure across the body to support natural detoxification, rejuvenation, and the release of tension and everyday aches and pains. Perfect for ongoing weekly or monthly sessions.

A more superficial massage for maintenance and people with very minimal, if any, tension.

​

Perfect to have AFTER a course of 6 or 12 Deep Tissue Massages (if you need a deeper massage and have concerns about tension) to help maintain it weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.

​

The various techniques are designed to improve your circulation, soothe your muscles, and help you feel more relaxed. This massage uses softer strokes on the more delicate parts of your body and medium strokes where the muscles are thicker.

​

If you are looking for a deeper Massage, I recommend my Deep Tissue Massage for those who want a more targeted massage, which this is not. My Deep Tissue Massage is deeper and works on the deeper tissue structures of the body. This is intended for those who prefer a more isolated, deep and direct massage.

 

This style of massage is most suited to a general relaxing massage and is not adequate for the specific deep tissue massage that many of today's clients expect. If you want a deeper, more targeted massage, a Deep Tissue Massage is highly recommended.

​

This Traditional Swedish Wellbeing massage is great for newbies and for regular maintenance massage of a healthy body.

​

What to Expect in a Traditional Swedish Wellbeing Massage:

​

Your therapist will ask you some questions about your health, wellbeing, and lifestyle to work out the best massage style for you and your goals for the session. Please let your therapist know of any health or medical conditions you may have and tell them if you are - or think you might be pregnant or have any allergies.

​

Everybody is different, and every massage is also different and fully customised to your needs.

​

The therapist will then ask you to lie down under the blanket or sarong provided. Using natural traditional oils such as jojoba, flax-seed, coconut or grape-seed oil that are organic and paraben- and sulphate-free, the therapist will massage the body or specific areas to be treated. Using a series of strokes and techniques specific to the body part and what you want to achieve.

​

After the massage, you can probably feel quite relaxed and maybe even sleepy. Make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to relax and unwind back home, without the need to rush off to another appointment, pick up kids, go back to work, or go shopping. Highly recommend allowing some time before your massage, and plenty of time after you get home, so you can relax and enjoy the many benefits massage gives your body and mind. And to savour the feeling of having your muscles gently stretched and smoothed out.

​

​

Hot Tips Before Your Massage:

​

• Book your massage on your day off or at the end of your day so that you don't have to rush off anywhere or do anything, such as picking kids up, going shopping, going back to work or heading out drinking or partying in the evening.

• It's a great idea to have a warm shower before your massage, as it warms and relaxes your muscles, preparing them for an even deeper and more relaxing experience.

• Drink plenty of fresh water in the days leading up to your massage, so your body is fully hydrated and your muscles are relaxed, to get the most beneficial results from your massage

• Avoid heavy meals at least 2-3 hours before your massage, as this can make you feel bloated and sluggish rather than relaxed, and it can reduce the benefits of the massage. Eat a very light meal 2 hours before your massage, and after your massage, eat a light meal, not a heavy meal.

• Dress the part: wear loose, comfortable trousers, a top, and shoes so you can easily put them back on afterwards and keep that comfortable feeling a little longer.

• Do all exercise and strenuous activities before your massage, not after.

• Avoid stress and stressful situations as much as possible before and after your massage. If you know it stresses you out to talk to your mother on the phone, don't talk to them right before or after your massage.
