I'm a male massage therapist who offers therapeutic massage bodywork, drawing on a range of styles including Swedish, Lomi Lomi, Deep Tissue, Sports, and Indian Head Massage — blended and adapted to suit you.

I offer a body-positive and inclusive environment for individuals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Treatment takes place in a comfortable home environment where you can relax and feel completely at ease.

The bodywork I offer takes a holistic rather than clinical approach — taking the whole person into account, not just a specific complaint. In practice, this means drawing on a fusion of styles and applying what feels most needed, session by session.

The styles I work with:

Swedish — Warming, relaxing, and soothing. Light to medium pressure. A natural foundation for any treatment.

Deep Tissue & Sports — Firmer, more focused work into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Particularly effective for areas carrying long-term tension — necks, shoulders, and lower backs.

Lomi Lomi — Full-length, flowing, rhythmic strokes inspired by Hawaiian bodywork. Holistic in nature, with a strong focus on ease and overall wellbeing.

Indian Head Massage — A focused set of techniques for the head, neck, and shoulders, working to release tension, improve circulation, and restore a sense of calm.

As the work I offer takes a therapeutic rather than remedial focus, I'd always recommend seeing a physiotherapist or relevant specialist if you're looking to address a specific injury or clinical condition.

Creating a safe space — built on mutual trust and respect — is fundamental to the massage experience. From the moment you arrive, you can expect a private, warm, and comfortable environment where there is no rushing, no interruptions, and no judgement.

Clients come from all walks of life, of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Some visit regularly, others are experiencing massage for the very first time. All are welcome.

Massage is a two-way conversation that naturally evolves throughout the session. On arrival, we'll take a few minutes to complete a short assessment to ensure your treatment is tailored precisely to your needs. Please feel free to ask any questions at any point.

All sessions are completely confidential. Everything discussed within the treatment room stays there.

A good massage works on several levels at once — and the effects often go deeper than people expect.

Emotionally — eases anxiety, stress, low mood, and exhaustion. Fosters a sense of connection and resilience. Many clients notice improved sleep and a calmer, clearer mind in the days that follow.

Physically — reduces muscular tension, tightness, and restriction. Supports injury prevention by improving joint mobility, flexibility, circulation, and range of motion.

Biologically — therapeutic touch prompts the release of oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, elevating mood and reducing pain. The nervous system slows, blood pressure lowers, and cortisol — the stress hormone — decreases.

Here's what a typical session looks like from start to finish.

Initial conversation — After you get in touch, we'll have a brief chat by phone to find out more about what you're looking for. If you'd like to go ahead, we'll find a time that works.

Before you arrive — Please shower beforehand if possible (shower facilities are available on the day if needed) and a special plea to please remember feet. Let me know in advance of any allergies, particularly to massage oils.

Arrival — You'll receive clear directions and parking information when you book. Please aim to arrive on time. A relaxed and friendly welcome awaits.

Consultation — We'll take a few minutes to talk through your general health and what you'd like from the session. Ask anything you like. Once you feel settled, we'll begin.

Treatment — I'll leave you to undress to your level of comfort and settle onto the table. The room and table are both kept warm throughout. We start with a few moments of stillness, then move through the treatment — adjusting pressure, pace, and focus as we go. At the end, you'll have a few quiet minutes to rest before getting up.

Aftercare — Most people leave feeling noticeably lighter and more at ease. Drink plenty of water, take things gently for the rest of the day, and allow yourself a little time before re-engaging with the world. Some mild tenderness is normal and settles within 24–48 hours. Occasionally a massage can bring up unexpected emotions — this is quite natural. Be kind to yourself.

I'm Steve, 55, a qualified and insured massage therapist with 30 years of hands-on experience.

My journey into massage began with two very personal intentions: to work through my relationship with my own body, and to learn how to touch another person with real care and skill. It has been, in every sense, a life-affirming experience.

Over the years I've trained in a range of holistic and more remedial styles. Each has offered me a different piece of the puzzle. When I work, I draw on all of them — applying whatever feels most needed — but relaxation and genuine wellbeing remain at the centre of everything I do.

I've also been a client myself many times and received bodywork that ranged from very good to not good at all. All of it has deepened my understanding of what it truly feels like to be on the table as the client — and has fundamentally shaped the experience I offer others. Care, attention, and awareness make all the difference.

Massage, for me, is a way of expressing something that words can't quite reach. I'm open-minded, non-judgemental, and genuinely curious — and I hope you are too. My aim is for every treatment to be a memorable and life-enhancing experience.
