    Lymphatic Drainage

    Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, encouraging the flow of lymph to remove waste and toxins. This gentle, rhythmic massage helps reduce swelling, boost the immune system, and promote relaxation. Using light pressure and precise movements, it improves circulation, aids detoxification, and supports the body’s natural defenses. Often used after surgery, it can also reduce inflammation and enhance skin health.

It is designed to alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and muscle tension. These specialized massages use gentle techniques to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support overall well-being during pregnancy. By addressing the physical and emotional changes that occur, prenatal massage helps moms-to-be to feel more comfortable and nurtured throughout their pregnancy journey.

    Cupping

    Cupping and massage services offer a unique therapeutic experience combining ancient practices with modern techniques to promote relaxation and healing. Cupping therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction, which enhances blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and boosts overall well-being. This method is often paired with massage, a practice that uses pressure and movement to manipulate the muscles and tissues. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to alleviating pain, reducing stress, and improving circulation, leaving clients feeling rejuvenated and balanced.

    A relaxation massage is a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate stress and tension from the body, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. This type of massage uses gentle, flowing strokes to soothe muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance overall relaxation. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking to unwind, rejuvenate, and enjoy a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether seeking relief from a hectic schedule or simply wanting to indulge in self-care, a relaxation massage offers the perfect sanctuary for mind and body.

    Deep Tissue

    Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially beneficial for chronic aches and pains, as well as areas of tension such as a stiff neck, upper back pain, lower back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. Unlike other forms of massage that aim for relaxation, deep tissue massage involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia. This type of massage can help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery by breaking down rigid tissue structure, thus easing muscle tension and helping to restore mobility.

Experiences

  • Just finished my first ever acupuncture appointment with Birthe and I can say is... why haven't I done this before?? Such a relaxing experience and Birthe is amazing at leading you through the process in an educational manner. 10/10 would recommend!

  • I have had chronic pain since 2007 when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and earlier this year I was informed that I had osteoporosis in my spine, as well as a cracked vertebrae. I met Birthe while doing physio. I have had acupuncture with her for a couple of months. She has helped me with managing my pain and help heal my body. It is an amazing experience, she has even helped with the emotional side as well. Through massage she has even helped me get feeling back in my feet which I haven had for years. She cares and knows what she is doing.
