Sports massage, deep tissue massage, soft tissue therapy - I could describe what I do in a number of different ways however it all comes down to giving you the very best treatment possible to leave you feeling as amazing as possible afterwards!
All of my treatments are based on individual customer needs and no two massages are the same. I listen to my customers and take time to understand what has brought them to me for treatment in the first place. It's important to me that we work together to make sure your treatment is as effective as possible.
Sports massage isn't about squashing my customers into submission! Everyone is different and I'm keen to move people away from the idea that sports massage is a painful and unpleasant experience. Yes, it can be a little uncomfortable at times, but I work with my customers to make sure we manage discomfort to keep painful moments to a minimum!
I am a massive believer in the benefits of hands-on treatment - it's a hugely powerful thing. I also recognise the benefits of taking some time for yourself for a little self-care. Taking an hour out of your busy schedule once a month for the opportunity to lie down on a massage couch, close your eyes and relax can be just what is needed to look after both your body and mind a little better.
I have learnt over the years how much of an effect the mind has on the body and how it influences our experiences of pain. Part of my treatment often includes helping people understand how and why their body feels pain in the way it does. If you're unsure about whether I'm the right therapist for you, please feel free to get in touch for a chat.
60 minutes: £50
45 minutes £40
30 minutes £33
Payment by cash or card is accepted.
I would usually recommend 60 minutes for your first appointment as this gives us time to discuss your needs and your hopes for your treatment. This also means I have time to carry out any assessments while also giving you enough time for the hands-on treatment.
Please also allow 60 minutes if you would like a full body massage.
45 minute appointments are suitable for a half body treatment such as neck, back and shoulder treatments or a lower body treatment.
30 minute appointments are suitable for a single body part or work on one particular area.
If you're not sure how long an appointment you require, please get in touch and I'll be happy to talk it over with you.
Please note appointment times include dressing/undressing time at the start and end of your treatment.
My new therapy room is at the delightful Sunshine Cafe & Yoga in Penryn. The therapy room is separate to the main building and is directly on front of you as you arrive.
The closest is parking at Exchequer Quay car park which is a few minutes walk away from the therapy room and costs £1.10 for an hour or £2.10 for up to two hours. There is also one or two hours of free parking along Commerical Road in Penryn - allow 5-10 minutes to get to me if you park on Commerical Road.
If you've got time, you might want to look for on street parking near to the therapy room, but this is by no means guaranteed.
Please do not park at Bailey's Country Store - this car park is for their customers only!
If the therapy room door is closed when you arrive, please don't come in to the room as there may already be a treatment in progress. Please wait outside or take a seat in the cafe and I will come and collect you when I'm ready.
If you arrive really early, feel free to message me to see if I'm available and we might be able to get started sooner, alternatively you could go and have a drink in the cafe!
If you're going to be late, please try and let me know. I will try where possible to give you any missed time at the end of your appointment but this might not always be possible. If you are late, you will be charged the full amount for your treatment.
Please wear clothes you feel comfortable in. There is no particular need to wear sportswear for your appointment unless I am assessing a particular injury - but I will advise you of this if this is the case.
If you need to cancel your appointment, please give me as much notice as possible. You can call/message me on 07766762881 to let me know if you are unable to make your appointment.
Colds, flu, Covid etc are all inevitable - if you are feeling unwell, please cancel your appointment!
If you're not sure if you should cancel, please drop me a line to check with me.
