Abdominal Sacral Massage has it's roots in ancient practices, it is deep and intuitive and offers holistic treatment . The massage covers the areas from the pubic bone up to the sturnum (where the ribs meet) and the lower back (sacral area) including the glutes (bottom). Concentrating on the core,( centre) of the body itworks to bring energy and circulation to many of the major organs including th

e reproductive organs and the digestive system. It works on major lymph areas and the glutes which contain a large supply of nerves. This can have a major effect on the rest of the body too, bringing balance and often a release of tension and a release of retained emotions/ trauma. Amongst the many benefits the massage has to offer, it also offers an opportunity to breakdown plaques and build up in the digestive tract therefore promoting detox and better absorption. Massaging the lower abdominal area can aid the (female) reproductive system to expel stagnant blood and old cells during menstruation,to re-align the uterus after any falls or trauma, in turn helping the body to have a healthier menstrual cycle and increasing the chances of conceiving and carrying a child to term. The sacral area is also worked on as part of the whole internal system which connects nerves and muscles to the digestive and reproductive systems. Release your potential, discover a neglected part of yourself, reconnect and relax in a safe and comfortable environment.

So this is me.....

My name is Emma, I've been massaging people since 2013 when I qualified with the London school of Abdominal Sacral Massage.
For life reasons there have been a few stops and starts, lockdown being a big factor and then having to leave home during lockdown and start life all over again.

I had lost my confidence and felt rusty after a few years out but I had people asking me if I still practiced and encouraging me to get back into it, so I bit the bullet and decided to dive back in, starting at the beginning once more, studying the basics with which I started in February. 👏🏼

I'll be qualifying this Summer, and in the meantime I am taking steps to build & launch my business step by step.

Part of my vision is to work from a cabin in my garden (clinic rental is unpredictable and expensive) which means that a dedicated space will keep costs down.

Alongside a cabin, I've already begun building a micro-sauna too. (See previous posts).
Please look at my gofundme for the whole story and plan.
The business will be based on a Pay it Forward model so that everyone has access to my treatments and sauna space regardless of income.

So.... welcome to my page and thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

Get in touch via the email link if you'd like be on a waiting list for treatments once I qualify. And please donate if you'd like to help make this exciting project work. 🔗 in bio

Before my afternoon case studies, I headed to Stroud's famous farmer's market today for a casual sunny springtime mooch and catch up with friends.

We're so lucky to have the market here AND my friend and I bumped into the fabulous and her essential oil candles which filled me with joy- having candles in the treatment room brings a certain kind of elemental mood to the moment. I was treated to a "focus" one by my friend who has been cheerleading my training and business along the way.

A sweet end to the morning after joining .morris earlier for an adventure up a small hill to a spring behind Kwik fit to stick our digits in the spring, sing songs, dance around and eat cake! The Stroud community was celebrating clubbing together and buying Rodborough fields recently for the community and wildlife and nature. 🌱

Therapeutic bodywork and Sauna are both rooted in ancient collective wellbeing practices. We all deserve health and relaxation

I'm researching a pay-it-forward type model for my practice. Let me know if you have tips on how to do this.

I'm busy building & curating an experience.

Technique is a part of what I do, but it's all the small details together that bring a deep, nervous system settling experience to my clients.

Texture, light, sound & aroma are things I create and care about.
It's hard to switch off in a clinical room.
I want you to feel cosy and wrapped in beautiful sounds.

I'm so excited to bring this to my local town.

It's half the job.
Making sure each client has fresh clean sheets. It's not just professional, it's the feeling each client gets when climbing into cosy, soft, clean cotton sheets. Details are important. I've got you.
