Devon Massage Therapy

YOUR PLACE TO UNWIND

A Welcome from Emily

Thank you for considering a massage with me. I am a professional, Level 3 Massage Therapist with a studio in South Brent, Devon. I offer a warm, friendly, more tailored approach than many spa environments. I also provide a mobile massage service for events, holiday homes and care homes. Please browse my range of massage treatments – there is something special for everyone, whatever your age or condition. I look forward to meeting you soon!

“Emily’s hands feel safe and warm. She’s strong but delicate, somehow knows intuitively where my aches and pains are. She’s also kind and respectful which puts me at ease”.

The health benefits of regular massage

As soon as your skin’s nerve cells feel the pressure of soothing touch from massage, they signal the brain to release feel-good endorphins into the body which boost your mood. Stress hormones begin to decrease and the result is a feeling of calm euphoria. Tension is reduced and circulation is boosted with massage techniques which promote cell repair, and the body feels replenished.

Massage Treatments

I offer 7 therapeutic Main Massages, carefully crafted to your body or state of mind. Every massage is relaxing, it’s just my technique and intensity of pressure that differs. Each session begins with a short consultation so I can create the best massage for you. All main massages end with a sublime neck and scalp massage, unless you would prefer not to receive that.

My 60 minute massages focus on back, shoulders, neck and scalp.

My 90 minute massages are full body, which includes all of the above plus arms, legs and (optionally) glutes.

My 120 minute massage treatments incorporate breathwork and gentle movement.

I also offer luxury Mini-Treatments: 20 minutes of special focus on your favourite or most problematic area. For example, choose the “Ankles & Feet” Mini-Treatment if you crave extra massage time on your feet. Please note, these Mini-Treatments can only be booked with a main massage.

You have the option to book a single massage, or save money by purchasing any 6 massages upfront, to have at your leisure over a 6 month period.

The Detangler

Marvellously Mature (over 70's)

A very gentle, soothing massage using long strokes and light, focused movements to ease away your tension and tenderness.

Aches and pains tend to set in as we get older. It’s only natural to spend more time sitting down, but that can make our bodies feel tight and stiff. A regular massage is a wonderful way to help alleviate some discomfort. Gentle movement of the skin and muscle tissue increases circulation and is deeply relaxing, leaving you feeling more supple and rejuvenated. Dont worry if you can’t lie flat, I have plenty of pillows and bolsters to make you comfortable. I use pure, organic grapeseed oil for this massage, with optional hot stones for heat therapy.

Perfect for: Men and women over 70 who wish to deeply relax, improve circulation and release tension in the body and mind.

£70 for 60 mins: Back, shoulders, neck, scalp
£95 for 90 mins: Full body or more focus on specific areas

Kid’s Combo with Cupcake (6-16 year olds)

An awesome massage, especially designed for children over the age of 6 who will be happy lying relatively still for 45 minutes.

Regular massage is so healthy for children – reassuring touch is calming, comforting and healing. This fun Kid’s Combo treatment includes scalp massage, gentle neck & shoulder massage, full back scratch & tickle, and a foot massage. Children tend to be quite ticklish (!), but they will soon desensitise and relax. They will be given a tasty chocolate cupcake to take away afterwards.

Perfect for: a Birthday or Congratulations present. Also really soothing for children with anxiety, autism or ADHD. Please note, an adult relative must accompany the child and the child should wear a t-shirt/vest top, and shorts/trousers throughout.

Select any additional Mini-Treatment for £20

These are indulgent 20 minute add-ons which follow your Main Massage. Some focus on common problem areas of the body, others focus on invigorating the skin, soothing pain or calming the thoughts. Please add a Main Massage to your basket first, then select your Mini-Treatment.

Scalp & Neck Massage

All Main Massages end with a scalp massage, but some clients want it to go on and on! So this is an extra 20 minutes of utterly blissful head and neck massaging that will melt tension, boost oxygen levels and make you feel like the world’s luckiest pet! 

Face & Decolletage Massage

Increasing circulation in the face, neck and upper chest feels liberating. Light pressure movements revitalise the skin, clearing toxins which naturally build up in this area. Incorporating hot towels and a blend of botanical therapy oils, your skin will feel more supple and hydrated.

Epic Back Tickle

Why do back tickles have to stop when we grow up? Experience a back tickle like no other with awesome stroking, scratching, palm rubbing and sensational tickling that will give you goosebumps. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and with a spring in your step. 

Ankles & Feet Massage

It feels like you’re walking on air after a foot massage, both physically and mentally. An uplifting treat for everyone, especially hikers, runners and people who spend a lot of time sitting or standing. If you’re ticklish, you’ll soon desensitise so don’t worry! (Not suitable for clients with cracked heels).

Tummy & Abdominal Massage

A gentle, circular massage across the hips, tummy and abdomen using heat therapy and a nutrient-rich combo of plant butters to target tummy and abdominal discomfort. This treatment is especially soothing for period pains, menopausal cramps, diverticular disease, IBS and other digestive issues.

Cellulite Buster

Gentle, dry body brushing to the thighs, hips and upper arms, followed by a firm, targeted massage to flush toxins, reduce water retention and increase circulation. An invigorating mini-treatment using a detox therapy oil blend. (Not suitable for sensitive, elderly or sunburned skin).

Breathwork for Wellbeing

Life’s events and circumstances can cause us to feel anxious or stressed for weeks or even years. The way we breathe can become shallow, which makes everything feel worse. During this 20 minute nurturing treatment, I will bring your attention to your breath, leaving you feeling calmer and more grounded.

Cuppa & Chat with a Hand Massage

Hand massage is a beautiful treatment to receive. It connects us with another soul, just like holding hands does. This gentle massage also promotes circulation, providing some relief to the muscles and joints in the fingers and wrists. If you’d prefer to have a cup of tea and a chat for 20 mins without the hand massage, I’d love to keep you company all the same!
