Our Relaxation Massage Treatments

Swedish Relaxation Massage

Best for: stress, overwhelm, needing to switch off Your go-to if you’re feeling mentally or physically drained. This treatment uses slow, flowing movements to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and gently release built-up tension. It’s not about intensity – it’s about giving your body permission to fully relax. If you struggle to switch off or feel constantly “on,” this is where you start. $120 / 60 min

Hot Stone Massage

Best for: deep relaxation + muscle relief without intensity This is relaxation, elevated. Heated basalt stones are used to gently warm and soften the muscles, allowing for deeper release without the need for firm pressure. The warmth improves circulation, relieves sore muscles, and can even promote better sleep. It’s particularly effective if you hold tension but don’t enjoy deep tissue work. Think full-body relaxation with an added layer of warmth and comfort. $140 / 60 min Note: Not recommended during pregnancy or if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or certain conditions. Your therapist will advise.

Deep Tissue Massage

Best for: stubborn tension, knots, physical strain For when your body needs more than just a light touch. Deep tissue massage works into the deeper layers of muscle to release chronic tension, tightness, and built-up stress in the body. It’s ideal if you experience regular discomfort, train frequently, or feel “tight” no matter what you do. This is a more intense treatment, but the payoff is feeling looser, lighter, and more mobile. $140 / 60 min

Pregnancy Massage

Best for: expectant mothers, lower back discomfort, swelling, relaxation during pregnancy Easing the aches and pains of pregnancy in a safe, supportive environment. Our specialised prenatal massage uses gentle, soothing strokes tailored to the needs of pregnant women. Our trained and certified therapists target areas prone to discomfort during pregnancy – including the lower back, hips, and legs – helping to reduce swelling and improve circulation, while ensuring both comfort and safety throughout. A trusted choice for expectant mothers looking to ease pain and find genuine relaxation during this special time. $110 / 45 min

What These Treatments Can Help With

Relaxation massage is particularly effective for:

Stress, overwhelm, and difficulty switching off
Built-up tension from sitting at a desk or repetitive movement
Poor sleep or restlessness
General fatigue and low energy
Muscle tension without a specific injury
A need to simply stop and be looked after

What to Expect

Before your treatment begins, your therapist will check in to understand how you’re feeling and what you’d like to focus on. The pressure and technique will be adapted to your needs – whether you want a deeply calming experience or something with a little more tension release.

Our treatments are performed using high-quality, cruelty-free products in a calm, private environment designed to help you unwind from the moment you arrive.

After Your Treatment

Most clients leave feeling noticeably lighter and more relaxed. We recommend drinking water after your session to support your body’s recovery, and giving yourself a little time before returning to a busy schedule if you can.

For ongoing stress or tension, regular massage – even once a month – makes a meaningful difference to how your body feels over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Swedish relaxation massage uses slow, flowing movements to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and gently release built-up tension. It’s your go-to if you’re feeling mentally or physically drained and need to switch off. Deep tissue massage works into the deeper layers of muscle to release chronic tension, tightness, and built-up stress. It’s more intense and ideal if you experience regular discomfort, train frequently, or feel tight no matter what you do.

For general wellbeing and stress management, once a month is a great starting point — and even that makes a meaningful difference to how your body feels over time. If you’re going through a particularly stressful period or carry a lot of physical tension, fortnightly sessions can help you stay on top of it before it builds up.

Wear whatever is comfortable to travel in. You’ll be appropriately draped throughout your treatment and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority — your therapist will guide you before the session begins.

Hot stone massage is not recommended during pregnancy. However, we offer a specialised pregnancy massage using gentle, soothing strokes tailored to the needs of expectant mothers. Our trained and certified therapists target areas prone to discomfort during pregnancy — including the lower back, hips, and legs — helping to reduce swelling and improve circulation. Please let us know when booking so we can ensure the right treatment for your stage of pregnancy.

So relaxing and Amy had great intuition with colour. Very happy!
I’m really happy with the result. Amy understood exactly what I wanted without me having to explain much. She did a beautiful balayage, blending my greys and enhancing my natural color in a very subtle way. She also trimmed the ends just enough, while keeping the length as I wanted. I rarely leave a salon this satisfied. She was lovely throughout the whole appointment. I’ll definitely be coming back to her next time.
Last minute make up booking for a wedding, really listened to what I wanted and did such an amazing job. I would highly recommend!! Super nice space too

90min Swedish Relaxation: Unbelievable massage, it’s very clear that Kanako knows the physiology of the human body very well and is able to follow the lines of tension with expert precision. Perfect, consistent pressure and her awareness of my comfort throughout made it a great experience. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend her services. Thank you Kanako 🙏🏻

I couldn’t be happier with Naomi and her team! They are so professional, welcoming, and truly understand how to look after blonde hair. I feel very grateful to have found them and wouldn’t trust anyone else

What a gem of a beauty salon! I can comfortably say that not only is environmental impact prioritised, but so is quality of the work and satisfaction of customers. I have gone to standalone salons for nails and hair separately and this salon outdoes them every time. When I get my treatments done, not only do they look fantastic straight after, but they also last so long! Could not recommend highly enough
