Restorative Bodywork
Bringing mind and body back into balance
Restorative Bodywork is a gentle, somatic approach combining sound, therapeutic touch, aromatherapy, and energy-balancing techniques. It promotes deep rest and relaxation, easing stress, anxiety, and low mood, while supporting recovery from chronic stress, overwhelm, and burnout.
This personalised therapy helps your body release the subtle physical and emotional patterns that can contribute to aches & pains, fatigue, and other ongoing symptoms. It encourages gentle shifts in energy and emotional wellbeing, supporting emotional release, improved rest, and a greater sense of balance. Each session is crafted with your input, providing a grounding, supportive space to reconnect mind and body, and nurture your physical and emotional wellbeing.
By supporting nervous system regulation, Restorative Bodywork can ease fatigue and pain, improve sleep, calm emotional tension, and help you feel more grounded, resilient, and able to meet life’s demands.
Each session is crafted with your input to meet your unique needs — offering a supportive space to reconnect mind and body.
You can also choose to include optional ear acupuncture to enhance the therapeutic effects and support deeper regulation.
I offer two restorative therapies — ReBalance and ReConnect — each designed to meet different levels of need and support. Whether you’re looking for a regular reset or deeper restoration, there’s a session to suit you.

I combine gentle sound, therapeutic touch, energy-balancing techniques, and supportive aromatherapy. If you’d like to enhance the effects of your session, you can also choose to include ear acupuncture as part of your treatment.
Perfect for when you need a little longer to relax, recharge, and reconnect — or when life has been asking more of you than usual.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Restorative Bodywork is a gentle, somatic approach that combines sound, therapeutic touch, aromatherapy, and energy-balancing techniques. It’s designed to calm the nervous system, release stored tension, and support emotional and physical wellbeing.
We’ll start with a brief chat about your health questionnaire and how you’re feeling that day. Then you’ll get onto my reclining treatment couch and get comfortable under a lightly weighted blanket. I’ll guide you through a brief guided meditation to help you relax, then use a blend of gentle techniques to help your body relax, recharge, and reconnect.
Most people feel deeply relaxed and more at ease in their body. You may notice your breathing slow, your muscles soften, or a gentle release of tension. It’s common to drift in and out of a light, daydream-like state — and some people even fall asleep, which is absolutely fine. Each session is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to experience it.
You may feel rested, lighter, or more at ease emotionally. Occasionally people feel tired or a bit tender as the body integrates the work — this usually passes quickly. It’s a good idea to rest, hydrate, and give yourself space afterwards.
Loose, comfortable clothing is best. You’ll remain fully clothed throughout your session, but you may wish to bring layers in case your temperature fluctuates.
Yes. Restorative Bodywork is ideal for people living with conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or long-term stress and burnout. The slow pace and gentle approach help the nervous system recalibrate without overstimulation.
Yes. Many neurodivergent clients find this therapy helpful for emotional regulation, sensory processing, and nervous system support. If you have particular sensory, access, or support needs, please let me know ahead of time – I’ll always adapt the space and session to suit your specific needs — just let me know in advance.
Absolutely. My treatment couch lowers for easy access and fully reclines, so you can lie down completely or choose a position that feels most comfortable for you. If you prefer, you can also receive treatment while remaining in your wheelchair—whatever works best for your comfort and needs.
For general wellbeing and maintenance, I usually recommend a session once a month. If we are working on specific issues, a few sessions closer together can be more effective, followed by maintenance treatments. Substantial savings can be made by booking a block of five sessions, which can be used flexibly for either targeted support or ongoing maintenance.
