Prepares the body with intense muscle stimulation, increasing oxygen levels in the blood and improving circulation. Although no substitute for a proper warm-up, this treatment is an excellent aid toward increased flexibility and optimum muscular efficiency. After a workout, this treatment aids in the rapid removal of metabolic wastes and build-up of lactic acid, thereby reducing exertion recovery time and muscle soreness.

 MAHALA GALE Dip. (NLSSM) MCThA BA(Hons)Dance
Mahala has been dancing since the age of two and holds a Performing Arts degree. She stumbled into the world of sports massage whilst trying to gain a greater understanding of the reasons she and her friends were experiencing injuries.
Mahala’s many years of dance has given her a unique understanding of the body; in particular how it moves, how we hold ourselves and how that might cause pain. She has a fascination with the anatomy and physiology of the body and appreciates the fact that every ‘body’ is different.
Whilst her emphasis during treatment is on relaxation and flow with slow strokes, Mahala also incorporates techniques of Swedish, Thai and Deep Tissue to create her Absolute Bliss Massage. The structure and pressure of these massages can be adapted to your needs, depending on how you’re feeling on the day.
Through her dance and sports massage training she has a wide knowledge of stretching techniques and exercises to give professional advice to clients avoid recurring stress or injury. Mahala has also done further specialised training in pregnancy massage and facial techniques including stress releasing therapy for well-being and improved appearance.
Mahala is a full member of the Complementary Therapists Association.
ELIZABETH LARGE BSc MICHT
Elizabeth has a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Bodywork from the University of Westminster. She combines these skills with over 7 years experience practising as a Holistic Therapist with Diplomas in Body Massage, Counselling, Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Nutrition.
Elizabeth draws on her wide range of massage skills to create a uniquely tailored treatment believing that each person requires an individual approach to address their area of concern. Throughout the massage she carefully tunes into the responses of the client’s body, sensing areas of tension and release to modify and adapt the treatment to meet the client’s needs.
Her style of bodywork places emphasis on facilitating the client’s exploration of themselves through their body use. The path of the treatment is based on postural and range of motion assessments, followed by manual techniques to increase fluidity of movement and alleviate discomfort. The client may choose the level of involvement in the session, by just enjoying the hands on experience, or requesting more active solutions.
Elizabeth is a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists. She practises meditation and Qigong as part of her on-going spiritual development.
