Therapeutic Massage

Sama Soma means balanced body. Each treatment blends eastern practices including Ayurveda, yoga therapy and traditional tools, with western therapeutic techniques to ease tension, regulate the nervous system and restore balance.

Sessions are tailored to how you’re feeling on the day, whether you need deep targeted work or a slower, grounding reset.

Eastern foundations:
- Ayurveda for balance
- Breath and nervous system awareness
- Yoga-based movement intelligence
- Gua sha and traditional tools

Western foundations:
- Anatomical precision
- Myofascial techniques
- Targeted muscular therapy
- Postural awareness

TREATMENTS

All offered in a calm, supportive environment, tailored to your needs.

Please allow at least 75 minutes for your first treatment, so we can include an assessment.

RESET

60 MINUTES | £65

A focused therapeutic sports massage style session using slow, deep and targeted techniques to release muscular tension, reduce discomfort, improve mobility or increase relaxation.

Weaving western anatomy and eastern nervous-system awareness, this treatment supports recovery and postural balance.

Ideal if you’re holding specific areas of tightness, suffer any pain or discomfort or need structured, results-led bodywork.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, looser and physically restored.

BALANCE

60 MINUTES | £70

An Ayurveda-inspired full body massage using flowing, grounding techniques to calm the nervous system and support whole-body balance. This is a light-pressure massage.

Incorporating breath awareness, intuitive pressure and traditional tools where appropriate, this session is designed to regulate, settle and reset.

Ideal if you’re feeling overwhelmed, depleted or energetically out of sync.

You’ll leave feeling steady, nourished and deeply rested.

GLOW

45 MINUTES

£50

An Ayurveda-inspired upper body treatment designed to release mental and facial tension while encouraging circulation and clarity.

Focusing on the scalp, face, jaw, neck and shoulders, this session incorporates rhythmic massage techniques and traditional tools. Gentle yet effective work supports lymphatic flow, eases jaw and shoulder restriction, and helps regulate the nervous system.

Ideal if you experience headaches, screen-related tension, jaw tightness or mental fatigue.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer and visibly refreshed.

RESTORE

90 MINUTES

Therapeutic | £95

Ayurvedic | £100

An extended session allowing space for deeper, more comprehensive work.

This 90-minute treatment draws on either targeted therapeutic techniques or Ayurvedic principles, depending on your needs. The additional time allows for focused attention on chronic tension patterns, postural imbalances and nervous system regulation, while still creating space for full-body restoration.

Whether you choose a more anatomical, results-led approach or a flowing, grounding Ayurvedic treatment, the session is tailored intuitively on the day.

Especially supportive during periods of stress, burnout or long-standing tightness.

You’ll leave feeling deeply restored, rebalanced and more at ease in your body.
