Getting in touch
What's on offer
Two treatments carried out one after the other. Each treatment lasts 1 hour and can be relaxing Swedish massage or deep tissue depending on your preference. Ideal for couples or family members.
Combine massage with assisted stretching and get the benefits of both. A great choice if you’re not sure which to choose or you like the idea of experiencing both. A 60 minute session to target a specific area eg. back, neck & shoulders or lower back, legs & hips. For a full body session, please choose the longer option of 90 minutes. You will leave deeply relaxed and feeling lighter and looser.
A longer assisted stretch session to work more thoroughly on the whole body. Gentle yet powerful and deeply relaxing. Calm your nervous system and reset your body leaving you feeling lighter and looser.
The perfect first experience of Assisted Stretching. A top to toe session working on the major muscle groups to release tightness and restore mobility.
A relaxing massage with essential oils specifically chosen for you. The massage will work typically on your back, neck, shoulders, arms & hands, legs & feet. Choose Swedish or Deep Tissue or a combination of both. Swedish massage generally uses a gentler pressure with sweeping, flowing movements. Deep Tissue is firmer, working deeper into the muscles using thumbs, fists, knuckles elbows. You can choose lots of pressure or just a little. Effective in relieving chronic pain and muscle tension.
Extend your treatment with the addition of a hand or foot massage to complete your experience.
Extend your treatment with an Indian Head Massage. This is carried out whilst the client is seated. It focuses on the neck, shoulders and scalp and is a truly relaxing experience.
Extend your treatment with a mini facial. Using oils, balm or moisturiser made from natural ingredients and essential oils.

What clients say
“Had the Indian Head massage today. It was so relaxing and Helen was lovely very informative about what she does and can do. I'm so impressed I have already booked for next week and can't wait. Thank you so much Helen.”
“Had an assisted stretch therapy with Helen and it was fantastic ! Helen was outstanding and attentive throughout the session and Ifelt after it . Definitely recommend Helen !!”
“Met with Helen who is very friendly and fully explains everything in a clear and understandable way! I got more out of the combined “stretch and massage” treatment than I was expecting - it was perfect! As a person who loves a very deep massage -Helena was able to deliver Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Helen came to my house and I had assisted stretches and back massage. I didn't realise how much I needed it, and she was so good! I feel lighter and feel like I gained extra inch to my height 😄 I truly recommend to book with Helen for your fix😊”
“I've just enjoyed an hour long full body assisted stretch session with Helen, and now I feel amazing! Before the session, I had a bit of stiffness in my neck and shoulders . Helen guided my body through the stretches making adjustments according to my feedback and natural range of movement. Afterwards, I felt a greater ease of movement throughout my whole body and a deep feeling of relaxation. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone with tension/ stiffness, athletes, dancers etc. Thank you, Helen.”
“Professional, effective, and well worth it. Helen’s assisted stretching sessions have significantly improved my flexibility and reduced tightness. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to move better and feel better.”
“I recently attended a dynamic stretch session with Helen, and the experience was transformative. When I arrived at Helen’s, I was in an exceptionally tense state. My mind was troubled and my body was stiff, especially through my neck, shoulder, lower back and hips, the result of long hours at a desk as well as an unexpected incident during the journey. Helen was an outstanding therapist. She was incredibly attentive throughout, consistently checking in, asking for feedback, and adjusting her methods and pressure to suit what my body needed in each moment. Her guidance through the flowing, controlled stretches made the session feel both targeted and personalised, helping me access deeper mobility safely and comfortably. By the end, I felt a clear release of tension and a renewed sense of flexibility. My posture felt relaxed, my movement more fluid, and I left with a sense of lightness and openness I hadn’t felt in weeks. I wasn’t expecting such a noticeable change in just one session. I would highly recommend Helen and this type of stretch physio session for office workers who spend long hours seated, as well as adult dancers wanting to improve range of motion, prevent injury and reconnect with their bodies. It’s a wonderfully effective reset for anyone looking to feel looser, more aligned, and more at ease in their posture and movement.”
“First time using Helen-booked as a birthday present to myself - she was amazing!!! So professional and the perfect pressure that was so wonderfully relaxing while still feeling helpful for neck and shoulder aches. Thank you!”
