What happens on the day of your booking

Sketch of a living room with a sofa, a massage table with folded blankets on it, a speaker, and a cable to a wall socket. A measure along the floor reads about 3 m x 2 m, and four numbered markers match the four steps.

  1. I arrive with everything

    table, linens, massage wax, blankets, music

  2. You provide the space

    I need about 3m x 2m for the table and to work around, have the room nice and cosy for yourself, a plug socket means I can use a heated blanket

  3. Consultation, then your massage

    60, 75 or 90 minutes on the table

  4. You continue to relax in the comfort of your own home

Words from clients

5.0 from 26 reviews on FreshaRead them all

  • I had an amazing Swedish massage with Josefa. She is highly skilled, ensuring a relaxing experience. The pressure was perfect, and her technique helped relieve all the tension in my muscles. I left feeling refreshed and completely stress-free. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a truly soothing and professional massage!

  • Jo has really helped with my chronic low back pain and general stress for a year now. Caring and professional, I feel very comfortable around her and in the treatment room. Magic hands and presence ease those aches and pains away. Thanks again and I’ll be back soon

    Douglas RSwedish massage

  • Josefa is awesome! She has really helped my neck and shoulder pain. She has a very calming and holistic approach, but also knows how to alleviate recurring / ongoing issues. Very professional and knowledgeable - I will be back! 😊

I’m a good listener and I take seriously what my clients tell me they need. Alongside my holistic approach, I have a diploma in sports and remedial massage and can focus on treating specific muscle groups and areas of tension when that’s appropriate.

Most importantly, I want you to feel nurtured, cared for and completely comfortable in my hands.

I charge the same rates for holistic or relaxing treatments or sports and remedial. We will agree the scope of treatment together at your consultation, for booking simply choose the appointment length.

For first time clients, I will always give you a call before your first appointment to ensure we are the right fit.

Holistic & Therapeutic Massage

Indian Head Massage

A deeply relaxing and restorative Indian Head Massage treatment. The treatment is performed seated and fully clothed. I work on your scalp, neck, shoulders, upper arms and back. The treatment is carried out slowly and working with acupressure points. This induces a deep state of relaxation, bringing about many benefits including improved sleep.
