About the treatment
What is de-stress massage?
De-stress massage is the closest match to what many people imagine when they picture a classic relaxation treatment. The pace is unhurried, the pressure is comfortable and the session can be adapted to give extra attention to common tension areas such as the back, neck and shoulders.
What happens in a session
- A quick check-in about pressure, comfort and areas to avoid
- Long, gliding strokes with light-to-medium pressure
- A calm pace designed to encourage relaxation
- Time to settle afterwards before returning to your day
Choosing your session length
De-stress massage is usually available in 30, 60, 90 or 120 min. A longer booking gives the therapist more time to continue the same calming treatment at an unhurried pace.
30 min
Time to concentrate on one or two areas, such as the back, neck and shoulders, at a calm pace.
60 min
Enough time for a balanced de-stress massage, with attention shared across the areas that feel most tense.
90 min
A longer de-stress massage with more time to slow the pace and spend longer on priority areas.
120 min
The most unhurried de-stress option, allowing the same calming treatment to continue at a spacious pace.

Your comfort comes first
Every session should be adapted to you. Share relevant health information, say what you want from the appointment and speak up about pressure or positioning at any point.
Please note: Massage can support relaxation and wellbeing, but it is not treatment for a mental-health or medical condition. Speak to a qualified professional if you need clinical support.

De-stress massage questions
How much pressure is used?
De-stress massage normally uses light-to-medium pressure with slower, flowing movements. You can ask for adjustments at any point.
Is it suitable for a first massage?
It can be a good introduction because the pace and pressure are comfort-led. Tell the therapist it is your first appointment so they can explain what to expect.
Can the therapist focus on my neck and shoulders?
Yes. Mention the areas where you hold the most tension during the consultation so the session can be adapted around them.
Do I need to talk during the treatment?
No. Apart from checking comfort and pressure, you can enjoy the session quietly. You should always speak up if anything needs changing.
How long should a de-stress massage be?
Thirty minutes works well for one or two priority areas. Longer appointments give the therapist more time to continue the same de-stress massage at a slower pace and spend longer where you hold tension. You choose 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes as you book.
