Never Underestimate the Joy of Relaxation

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
1hr - £60
1.5hr - £80
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE
1hr - £70

1.5hr - £90

A Deep Tissue Massage is deeper massage and will target knots and muscle tension with a calming effect. This is a perfect way to reboot the body, leaving you refreshed and relaxed. It will invigorate and encourage waste removal as well as promote neural communication and cell regeneration. We will always adapt to the correct pressure to suit your tolerance level without hindering the impact of the massage.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps with healing following surgery and cosmetic procedures. It calms inflammation and boosts immunity by carrying white blood cells throughout the body to fight disease. MLD can give pain relief from Lymphoedema and Arthritis. A lighter pressure is used with this massage because lymph flows just under the skin, but the benefits are huge. 

CUPPING - ADDED TO A DEEP TISSUE
OR RELAXATION MASSAGE
1hr - £60   /   1.5hr - £80

A Cupping Massage involves placing cups on the skin to create suction and therefore decompression of the muscle and surrounding fascia. This helps with pain, inflammation and blood flow. Cups are glided over the skin to loosen the fascia and connective tissue and this in turn soothes the Nervous System and flushes out the Lymphatic System. Cupping Therapy is a great way to accelerate the healing and the detoxification of blood. 

RELAXATION MASSAGE
1hr - £60
1.5hr - £80

A Relaxation Massage has an immediate local and physiological effect on the part of the body being worked and it also affects the whole body through stimulation and relaxation of the nerves. It can affect all of the body systems in a positive way. The effects of this massage are two-fold. Physiological (relating to the physical structure of the body) and Psychological (relating to the mind). The positive benefits of massage for the physical body will affect the psychological body and vice-versa.

TESTIMONIALS

I am very happy to recommend Pause Massage. Stephanie is providing lymphatic drainage massage to assist with my cancer recovery. I feel very safe with Stephanie as she understands what it is like to be unwell. She makes me feel very comfortable and tailors the massage to my needs. The massage helps to keep the Lymphoedema under control and the hospital is pleased with the results. Stephanie is part of the team that is helping with my cancer recovery. The massage is a very enjoyable experience and I feel great afterwards.

I got in contact with Stephanie after returning from Lithuania where I had undertaken two treatments: a neck lift and liposuction in three areas. The treatments were very successful but left my neck area and abdomen very tender and swollen, my scars and stitches still very apparent. I had lymphatic drainage treatment in Lithuania and they recommended I continue with some more back in the UK. Stephanie was excellent in her treatment, not only her treatment room, which is very relaxing, but the way she explains how the treatment works and what it is trying to achieve. She is very skilled at lymphatic drainage and I always feel the benefit after each treatment: very relaxed and reduced swelling in each area. I would definitely recommend Stephanie for this treatment. Stephanie is also very generous with the time she spends with you and so the treatments are excellent value for money.
- Nick (Finance Director)
I’ve never had a treatment which made me simultaneously relax, laugh and cry, but Stephanie ended up life coaching me while she worked on my massage. It felt wonderful and she was so kind and helpful to talk to. She helped me get perspective on some issues in my life and I left feeling physically and emotionally better. Slept so well afterwards and now feel really calm which is exactly what I was hoping for. Wonderful.
- Harriet (Graphic Designer)
What an experience! I've been lucky enough to have many massages in my life. But none like the massages I experience with Steph. Frequent user is an understatement... Ideal for personalising the massage that you need! To really tackle problem areas or simply relax and rewind and everything in between. Lovely, thank you for your services and humanising your services. Simply fabulous and excellent value for money.
- Kriss (Charity Volunteer Co-ordinator)
The treatment was relaxing and pain relieving with optimal pressure. Steph used a variety of manual therapy techniques which helped to reduce muscle spasm and tension throughout my body. Steph has a calming aura and the treatment is within in a relaxing atmosphere to make you feel at ease and unwind from the stresses of daily life. After the treatment I had increased neck and shoulder range of movement and I can now look over my right shoulder which I had not been able to do for 2-3 years due to soft tissue restriction. I felt a huge release post treatment and my body felt fully relaxed and also increased ability to sleep since my treatment. I would highly recommend Steph for musculoskeletal body work for reducing pain, stiffness and enhancing relaxation for the mind, body and soul.
- Hannah (Equine Physiotherapist)
I took my young daughter to see Stephanie for a Lymphatic Drainage Massage as she has been struggling with her health and Stephanie was amazing! She really made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease and was very informative during each step of the process. I would highly recommend Stephanie and we will certainly be booking with her again in the future.
- Adele (Full-time mum)
The environment that Stephanie has created for her sessions is beautiful, it compliments her style of practice. I really felt like she had healing hands immediately and was very knowledgeable. She clearly understands and is passionate about many facets of what good makes a great massage and healing session. I go regularly as it adds to keep me at my best.
- Robyn (Chiropractor)
I would highly recommend Steph. She treated my back with various different manual therapy techniques which reduced the muscle spasm and sciatic pain I had from a fall allowing me to be able to move pain free and ride my horse afterwards. A relaxing environment to also be treated in. Thank you Steph!
- Hannah (NHS Physiotherapist)
Highly recommended Steph's massage to anyone looking to have a little getaway from a busy town to the countryside. She is an experienced and very thoughtful masseuse, using a brilliant mix of techniques chosen for your needs. My usual is mixture of deep tissue and lymphatic with a gentle touch of reiki treatment. I absolutely love the feeling of being spaced out and light in my body after!
- Anna (Yoga Instructor)
Had the best massage experience with Steph. She's a lovely person and very sensitive. She can feel exactly where the pressure is needed. I felt relaxed, very light and full of good vibes. Highly recommend!

​Wonderful Massage! Attentive and knowledgeable. I had neck and shoulder issues which we spoke about and Stephanie really worked on these areas in a way which alleviated the pains I had.

Thank you so much for today. You were amazing and I feel relaxed and better all over. I’m looking forward to our next meeting.
- Vicky
Stephanie, just wanted to say that I really feel like I got exactly what I wanted out of yesterday. I feel that a lot of trapped emotion has come up in releasing the tension / lactic acid (and I forgot the other one) build up. Incredible! Thank you so much. I feel centred, and more balanced again.
- Sam
I feel so much better - Thank you. I see what you mean about feeling tired/relaxed afterwards! Absolutely fantastic massage that hit the spot completely, in a lovely relaxing environment. Stephanie was kind, knowledgeable and professional, and tailored to just what I needed to get rid of those knots. I will definitely be going again!
