What are the treatments?
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, Japanese healing reactive that involves channeling universal life force through the hands to support the body’s natural ability to heal. Rooted in the teachings of Mikao Usui in the early 20th century, Reiki is typically performed with the client lying fully clothed while the practitioner lightly places or hovers their hands over the body. The goal is to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress and restore energetic balance – emotionally, physically & spiritually.
Though subtle, many people report feelings of warmth, calm, or emotional release during a session. While Reiki isn’t a substitute for medical care, it is widely used as a complementary therapy in wellness and healthcare settings. It encourages the body’s natural healing process by helping to calm the nervous system and support overall wellbeing
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is a traditional therapeutic practice roots in the ancient Ayurvedic healing system of India. It focuses on massaging in the scalp, face, neck, shoulders, arms and hands, using a variety of gentle and invigorating techniques to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and improve overall wellbeing.
During a session, the client is seated. The practitioner uses kneading, circular strokes and pressure point work to release muscle tension and stimulate energy flow. Indian Head Massage is especially effective for relieving stress, headaches, eye strain, jaw tension and neck/shoulder stiffness. It also supports circulation, can boost hair health, and may leave the client feeling deeply calm, clear-headed and rebalanced.
What is Full Body Massage?
A full body massage is a therapeutic treatment that involves massaging the entire body – from head to toe – to relax muscles, improve circulation and promote overall physical and mental wellbeing. it typically includes the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet, hands, and sometimes the tummy, scalp and face.
Using techniques like long gliding strokes, kneading and gentle pressure, a full body massage helps to release tension, ease pain, reduce stress and encourage deep relaxation. It can also support better sleep, boost the immune system, and enhance your body’s natural healing processes. Sessions are usually done with clients in their underwear and covered with towels, with only the area being worked on exposed..
What is Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage?
A Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage is a focused treatment that targets the areas where most people hold stress and tension – particularly from posture, work, or emotional strain. This type of massage uses techniques such as kneading, circular motions, and deep pressure to release tight muscles and improve circulation in the upper back, shoulders and neck.
It’s especially beneficial for those tho experience stiffness, headaches, tension from desk work, or general upper-body discomfort. A session typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes and can leave you feeling lighter, more mobile and deeply relaxed. It’s a great option when you’re short on time but in need of targeted relief.
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic treatment that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Using slow, firm pressure and targeted techniques, it works to release tension, ease chronic muscle tightness, and help the body restore balance.
Unlike a gentle relaxation massage, Deep Tissue Massage is designed to address persistent aches, muscle stiffness, and specific problem areas. It’s often used for chronic tension in the neck, shoulder or back; sports or repetitive strain injuries; postural problems or recovery from intense physical activity.
Deep Tissue Massage is a great choice if you’re looking for something more focused and restorative than a light relaxation massage – perfect for when your body needs that extra level of care.
Benefits can include; improved mobility and flexibility, reduced pain and inflammation, increased blood flow to aid healing; release of built-up stress and muscle knots.
During the massage, your therapist will use their hands, forearms, and sometimes elbows to gradually reach deeper muscle layers. While you may feel some strong pressure, it should never be unbearably painful – open communication with your therapist ensures the treatment stays effective and comfortable.
What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic therapy designed to support the body’s lymphatic system — the network that helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid while supporting your immune system.
Using light, sweeping movements, MLD encourages lymph to flow freely through the body. It helps to:
- Reduce swelling, puffiness, or fluid retention
- Support recovery after illness, surgery, or injury
- Boost the immune system
- Ease tension and calm the nervous system
MLD is deeply relaxing and entirely non-invasive. Many people describe it as soothing, balancing, and quietly restorative.
At Sanare, MLD can be beneficial for those living with long-term health conditions, recovering from medical treatment, or simply looking to support their body’s natural rhythm of cleansing and renewal.
What Is Oncology Massage?
Oncology Massage is a specialised form of massage designed with the needs and safety of people living with or recovering from cancer in mind.
Every treatment is carefully adapted to each client’s unique situation — taking into account medical history, current symptoms, and levels of energy or fatigue.
Pressure, positioning, and duration are all adjusted to ensure comfort and care.
Benefits may include:
- Reduced pain, anxiety, and fatigue
- Improved sleep and mood
- Relief from muscle tension or swelling
- A sense of calm and connection during or after treatment
Oncology massage is safe, nurturing, and deeply supportive — offering space to simply be in your body again, without expectation or strain.
CONSENT MUST BE RECEIVED FROM YOUR ONCOLOGIST BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH TREATMENT

What is our Pause. Breathe. Restore. Treatment?
90 minutes of supported massage and deep rest tailored to your specific needs. The overall aim is to reduce and manage cortisol and other hormone levels in your body to allow the body to move into a period of restorative rest.
Massage has been cited as a great tool to help manage high cortisol and peri and post menopause changes.
The first 45 minutes of the treatment will be a combination of the best parts of Swedish Full Body Massage and Indian Head Massage, including Marma points, and bespoke massage focussed on your specific needs.
45 minutes of deep rest and reiki will follow, with your body on a warming mat, gently propped so that no effort is required from you to just be, breathe and allow your body to restore whilst receiving reiki and swaddled in towels and a weighted blanket to make the most of the time you have taken for yourself.
You can chose your massage oil from our range of The Ilex Wood small batch oils, or bring a blend of your own. Chose your own soundtrack and the level of heat provided by the mat as well as the specific massage areas targeted.
We would recommend that appointments are made in the evenings, weekends and end of days to allow rest after the appointment and the opportunity to have deep, restful sleep afterwards.

Why Autumn Self-Care Matters 🌿Autumn is a time of transition. Our bodies naturally crave warmth, grounding, and deeper rest as the days shorten.

Massage and Reiki together create the perfect combination to reconnect with yourself during a busy season, release physical and emotional tension, improve sleep and relaxation and encourage a sense of balance and grounding.
