Holistic 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.

There are many positive effects of Holistic Massage. On a very basic level, the simple art of being touched can have a comforting effect on our emotional wellbeing. Massage works well for both physical and emotional conditions, from relieving muscular pain to reducing stress and anxiety. It is also a great way of reducing toxins in the body and improving the tone and elasticity of the skin.

Vanessa Afful’s work also includes Aromatherapy Treatments, Deep Tissue Massage, 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).
