Therapies for adults and at preconception, peri & menopause stage
Rest, Reset, Restore
Expert Bowen Therapy and Holistic Signature Massage with Hot Stones and Clinical Aromatherapy.
To ensure you receive the best possible results, massage treatments are available only once you have moved into the maintenance phase of your care and completed your initial course of three Bowen sessions.
Bowen therapy is a gentle yet highly effective remedial treatment designed to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction, helping your body reset and rebalance.
For new clients, I strongly recommend beginning with Bowen therapy to achieve lasting results before considering massage. Once your body has responded and you are in the maintenance stage, you will then be able to book massage treatments and tailored packages to support your ongoing wellbeing.
What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen therapy is a truly unique holistic therapy like no other, which addresses the whole person and not just a set of symptoms. It is a very gentle, hands on, non-intrusive soft tissue therapy designed to enable the body to reset and balance, without any forced adjustment or manipulation needed.
Bowen therapy initial course of 3 treatments…. £159 ( allow 1 hour for initial session 45 mins treatment)
Maintenance Bowen sessions £48 each session (taken within 16 weeks from last session)
It is very different from massage as it can be carried out through light clothing and no oils or creams are applied onto the skin.
Treatment consists of gentle rolling moves with fingers and thumbs over specific soft tissue points on your body, working with your nervous system triggering your body’s natural healing response.
Unique breaks are incorporated into the treatment where you are left to rest. This stage is where your body is able to rebalance itself and commence the healing process.
“I visited Nikki a year ago as I was suffering with shoulder and neck pain that I hadn’t been able to resolve myself.
It was a very calm and relaxing experience and after a few sessions I was pain free and had regained full movement in my neck.
Nikki had explained that Bowen treats the whole body and as an extra bonus my period pain has eased a huge amount. I hadn’t expected this, I had learned to live with the pain and taken as much pain relief as I could every month to cope. It’s been incredible and I continue to visit Nikki every 4-5 months so maintain the pain free periods.”

Is Bowen for me?
Bowen is for you if:
- you want to have a light touch, gentle therapy without any oils on your skin,
- you want to improve your sleeping pattern and you want to feel soporific which can continue for several days after a treatment, relaxing the most wound up stressed out client,
- you want to give your whole body a complete reset,
- you are tired of feeling tired most of the time,
- you want effective pain management, especially when it comes to coping with painful periods, headaches and migraines during your cycle or peri menopause
- you want to help regulate your menstrual cycle because you are trying to conceive or experiencing erratic periods with mood swings, or you are in the peri menopause stage, or you are experiencing menopausal symptoms which are difficult to manage
- you want to feel good in your own body again instead of feeling achey, restricted and generally out of sorts

Holistic prescriptive therapeutic massage
Which massage do you choose? It is very overwhelming to read a list of different types of therapeutic and holistic massages on a treatment menu, this is why I have created this “signature” massage, an infusion of all the techniques I have learnt throughout the 35 years of my experience, and training also from my travels around the world;
A mixture of soothing Swedish style movements, deep, targeted neuromuscular moves, shiatsu pressure points, relaxing and invigorating Indian & Japanese head and facial moves all applied in your treatment prescriptively, using varying pressure to suit you, bespoke for you, the unique individual.
Benefits of massage during fertility:
Enhances your immune system function
Improves your circulation
Improves your sleep and mood
Relief from stress, anxiety and tension
Increases the feel good hormones seratonin and dopamine
No two treatments are the same as your needs differ between each appointment.
You will be able to choose, with my guidance, between different massage mediums: a botanical, moisturising natural massage wax, essential oils extracted from aromatic plants and trees, which are blended at your appointment or a plain base oil which will have healing properties in itself without the scent from any essential oil.
Would you like to have hot basalt stones and cool marine stones too included into your massage treatment?
Then it is not a problem as you can also request this to have during your prescriptive, therapeutic massage!
Holistic prescriptive therapeutic massage with or without hot stones and/or essential oil blend…£75 ( 1 hour massage treatment but 90 mins booking allowing you to get ready before and afterwards using the treatment room facilities)
