SWEDISH is the most well-known type of massage, and for good reason.

The physical & mental health benefits make it a great option for those new to massage or for clients looking for a complete therapeutic experience.

Great for stress relief and for boosting the immune system, it can positively impact all the systems of the body, including tight muscles!

I am also trained in REMEDIAL techniques which allow for a more targeted approach, helping to release the restriction of deeper muscles, tendons and ligaments.  I will use these techniques if and when appropriate and will always consult with you before, during & after to determine appropriate pressure & effectiveness.

The physical & mental health benefits of positive,  therapeutic  touch make massage  a relevant option for those undergoing  treatment  for  cancer  or  for  individuals  who  have  a  history  of  cancer  treatment.

I  trained  with  Cancer  Support  Scotland  to  obtain  my  Oncology Massage  Diploma  in  order  for  me  to  be  able  to  treat clients  safely  and  appropriately, ever mindful  of  the  cornerstone  of  all  bodywork,  which  is  “Do  No  Harm”.    

It  enabled  me  to understand the unique needs and challenges that individuals facing cancer may experience  and to provide safe and supportive treatments, tailored to meet  those  specific and  changing  needs.   

Oncology massage is a gentle and therapeutic approach that can help alleviate symptoms such as pain, anxiety, fatigue, swelling and nausea. It can also help improve relaxation, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being during and after cancer treatment.

Whether you are currently undergoing cancer treatment,  are in remission, or a caregiver seeking support, I welcome you to experience the benefits of massage.

Aims  to  relax  &  rejuvenate  enabling  the  client  to  benefit  from  reduced  tension &  increased  alertness.

The treatment  time  is  variable  (typically 10  or  20  minutes)  and  the  sequence  is carried  out  through  clothing  with  the  client  seated  on  an  ergonomically  designed  chair  that  offers  both  comfort  &  support.  It is  ideal  for  use  in  the  workplace,  at  events  or  for  those  who would  like  to  experience  a  reduction  in  muscle  tension  and  an  increase  in  relaxation  but  who  are  either  unable  to,  or  prefer  not  to,  remove clothing  or  lie  on  a  therapy  couch  to  receive  therapeutic  treatments.

OSAM  is  ideal  for  employers  looking  to  actively  promote  health  &  wellbeing  within  their  company  and  may  offer  the  opportunity  to:

• relieve  stress  &  increase  productivity  in  the  workforce
• make  employees  feel  cared  for
• help  to  increase  morale,  reduce  absenteeism  and  reduce  staff  turnover
• emphasise  the  importance  of  health  &  wellbeing  in  the  workplace
