Why we recommend it
Stress is cunning and can manifest in your body in a variety of unexpected ways. That's why it's crucial to carve out time for your body to recover properly.
With light pressure and gliding strokes to help you relax, this massage is a gentle invitation to mind and body to let go of stress and tension.
What to expect
Your mobile massage therapist will arrive with everything needed for your treatment, including the table. You'll just need to grab some towels (two large ones for the table, a smaller one for the headrest).
Once your therapist has set up, they'll begin. Your therapist will use slow flowing motions across your whole body to release tension and calm your nervous system. They’ll work with carefully-chosen essential oils formulated to help you relax.
Different people unwind in different ways, so your therapist will check to make sure their pressure and motions are just right. Feel free to set the tone for relaxation by playing your favourite music and lighting candles.

Yes, studies have shown that massage therapy can reduce stress and anxiety. But if your anxiety is brought on by a mental health condition, such as clinical depression, it's important to keep in mind that a massage isn't a replacement for medical care.
It has been demonstrated that a soothing massage reduces stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. It turns off your body's fight-or-flight response by lowering stress hormone levels like cortisol and adrenaline and elevating endorphin levels like serotonin and dopamine.
No, as your mobile massage therapist may not be insured to treat pregnant people. Try our specialist pregnancy massage instead, safe from your second trimester.
