massage (specializing in pregnancy massage)

Harriet is a fully qualified massage therapist, with many years experience.
Harriet offers a mobile service with treatments in the comfort of your own home, which is very popular with all her clients.

There are four types of massage on offer:

Sports/Deep Tissue Massage - very popular to relieve tired, sore and tense muscles. A deep-tissue massage helps
loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and encourage blood and oxygen to circulate properly.

Relaxation Massage - the aim of this type of massage is to relax you! A full body massage focusing on long, slow massage strokes, which will leave you oozing with a sense of wellbeing.

Aromatherapy Massage - similar to the above but using aromatherapy oils. The essential oils used are obtained from plants; all the oils have a special effect on the body and systems.

Pregnancy Massage - she is fully qualified to work with pregnant women; this is a very different massage but the principles are the same. Very relaxing and helpful to ease stress and tension caused by carrying the extra weight. Harriet uses the Welcome to the World oil, with the added blend of gem essences that help to support women through this time of intense change.
