Deep Tissue Massage

Please note that all Vanessa’s new clients will be required to fill in an online consultation form before your treatment. Should you have a cold or cough, please wear a mask to your appointment.

A health and wellbeing consultation, including discussion of your medical history, must be completed before your first treatment with Julia.

Our Deep Tissue Massage is ideal if you require a more intense massage for specific areas of tightness and tension. Deep Tissue Massage can be an effective treatment for physical conditions, such as muscular pain, tight or overworked muscles or reduced mobility. Using techniques such as compression, cross fibre friction, NMT and stretching, deep tissue is great for breaking adhesions, unsticking muscles and reducing stiffness.

Vanessa Afful’s work also includes Aromatherapy Treatments, Facials and Pregnancy Massage. She also makes a selection of tailor made natural beauty product designed to use at home in between treatments. Vanessa is a member of the IFA (International Federation of Aromatherapists).
