Vanessa’s speciality is in giving relaxing massages. She likes to refer to her hourly session as “The body and mind soothing massage.”A firm pressure is used to dissolve nervous tension and relieve tired or tight muscles. This massage encourages deep relaxation of the body and soothes a busy mind. Using powerful essential oils, it also aids digestion, boosts blood circulation and the immune system, whilst nourishing the skin, and lifting the spirits.

It is a 1 hour back, neck and shoulders massage, with any other area that you, the client requires. A 10 minute consultation is included, to create a bespoke blend of essential oils for your needs. The experience often results in, an increased sense of who you are and what you need in order to feel great and be happier. Feel the difference for yourself.

Then the upgraded version is called “The Stress Buster” For an extra half an hour, this includes a full body massage, a soothing Indian Head Massage, a pressure point facial and stress-reducing lifestyle tips (10-15 minutes).If you prefer to leave out the health enhancing tips, simply request at the time of booking. The treatment is bespoke and tailored to the individual’s needs.

Testimonials

I have been coming to Vanessa for aromatherapy massage sessions for over two years.  Through regular massage with her bespoke aromatherapy based on individual need, Vanessa has helped me to significantly reduce stress levels and the associated symptoms of fatique, tense muscles, headaches, etc.  I have recommended Vanessa to several friends, who have since become regular satisfied clients themselves.  Even though I have now moved to the other side of London, I continue to schedule my massages with Vanessa, as the health benefits and overall experience are incomparable to all other massages I have had.

Vanessa is incredible.  She is a listener and a feeler and recognises what you might be too shy to say, when you might be too shy to say it.  Her focus on  bringing peace to the emotional states of her clients stands her out from most massage therapists, while her unforgiving determination to undo every single knot makes her exceptionally talented at restoring physical balance to the body.  Visiting her is more than a healing experience, it is inspiring.  Yasemin S, London

I came to see Vanessa during a stressful period, and she has been working with me to address my migraine headaches and tense, sore muscles. Vanessa’s calming, relaxed nature put me at ease immediately. I appreciate her genuinely listening to my symptoms as well as her generosity in offering advice. Her nutritional knowledge is extensive, and she had a wide range of suggestions to help me to address my symptoms and stress levels. I can honestly say the two massages Vanessa gave me were the best I have ever had.  Erika G

I have been a client of Vanessa Ough for over two years. I have regular treatments for a heart condition and general stress management. She takes a thorough check at the beginning of each session and resume at the end. I have both nutritional advice and aromatherapy on an individual basis. Depending on my commitments I am refreshed or relaxed by the treatments. Vanessa is very professional and gifted in her work. I am happy to offer this recommendation to any future employer or client.  Richard Walker
