BESPOKE MOBILE HOLISTIC MASSAGE & FITNESS
SERVICES
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sandy has worked with rugby players, American football players, and fire fighters, but also people who just want to get a little fitter, or feel a lot better. Just recently, she helped at the Half Marathon in Hyde Park for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Sports Massage can be stimulating or relaxing. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses in the joints, ligaments and tendons as well as in the muscles themselves. These muscle imbalances can cause discomfort and impede performance in sport.
The good Sports Masseur can detect variations in the soft tissues and then use specific techniques to release those areas and make the tissues more supple. Sports Massage can be used to prepare the muscles for a sporting event and afterwards to relieve the build up of waste products within the muscles, cutting down on soreness felt afterwards.
SERVICES
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
As the name suggest ‘Deep Tissue’ Massage works on the deep layers of muscle tissue to bring us back to our natural alignment. Deep Tissue is particularly helpful for chronic aches and pains as well as ‘tight’ areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
REDUCE STRESS & INCREASE HAPPINESS
Deep Tissue Massage can have a huge impact on our levels of stress, anxiety and tension. A recent study found that people’s blood pressure fell considerably after only a single 60 minute deep tissue massage.
​
Additionally, an investigation published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found a clear connection between Deep Tissue Massage and reduced stress hormone levels and heart rate, while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin (the happiness hormones!).
SERVICES
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic Massage is a hands-on therapy in which muscles and other soft tissues of the body are manipulated in different ways to improve the health of those tissues and the wellbeing of the body in general.
Therapeutic Massage can work in a wide variety of conditions including stress, headaches, muscular tension, back pain, depression also digestive disorders. Therapeutic Massage relieves physical tension as a matter of course. However it can also deliver equally important psychological benefits, like relieving anxiety or fear.
In the right hands, Massage reliably provides a very positive, relaxing experience for any body! Sandy uses organic essential oils, only of the highest grade.
This kind of Massage can be either gentle or firm but in general is not as penetrative as Sports Massage.
As there are potential contra-indications for any form of Massage, please be ready to answer some preliminary screening questions at your first consultation.
SERVICES
HATHA YOGA
Hatha is a very broad term that encompasses any of the physical practices of Yoga. It can be used to describe every kind of Yoga Asana practice from Lyengar to Ashtanga and everything that falls between and beyond.
In his book "Yoga Body: The Origins of Modern Posture Practice" Mark Singleton says it was not until the international popularity of the physical culture movement later in the 19th century that Hatha Yoga was integrated into the teachings exported to the West.
Hatha classes provide an opportunity to stretch, unwind, and release tension, providing a good counterpoint to both busy lifestyles and cardio workouts.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Feel the benefits of a Pregnancy Massage with Sandy - relieve those shoulders, swollen ankles, and tight hips!
​
A pregnancy massage is a specially adapted gentle and soothing massage tailored specifically for the mother-to-be. As a term, ‘pregnancy massage’ applies to any hands-on massage treatment for a woman during her pregnancy.
It can therefore vary enormously in terms of what it consists of. However, for many women, pregnancy massage benefits include easing aches and pains, as well as facilitating relaxation and preparation for labour.
