The massage is therapeutic using Deep Tissue, Swedish/Holistic and Myofascial Release (MFR) massage techniques. It can be applied systematically to the whole body or customised to any particular area according to your needs, preferences and the duration of the session. A full body treatment can include some or all of legs and feet, back, shoulders, glutes, neck, face and head, abdomen, arms and hands.

I use unscented oils sourced from naturallythinking.com. You may choose from grapeseed, sweet almond or coconut oils, or a rich blend of avocado, olive and coconut. These oils have been selected to leave your skin feeling nourished but not greasy at the end of the massage. A lotion alternative is available if you prefer. Myofascial techniques are without oil.

You should choose 45, 60 or 90 minutes for your first session. The duration you book is the massage duration so allow for an extra 5-10 mins afterwards for rest and changing. There is a 15 min gap between each appointment.

If you would like an express service to leave by a specific time, just request this in the booking or on arrival.

How long you need for a full body massage very much depends on your size, muscle build and amount of tension to treat in focus areas. If you are taller and/or have well-developed muscles and/or lots of tension in the back/shoulder region then you can have a focused treatment in 60 mins or full body in 90 minutes.

No, I do not do outcalls, only appointments at the Attento Studio, Barbican.

I use some piano music called The Matrix, composed for me by Phil Best especially for massage which is licence-free.

Absolutely. See the massage-yoga combination section

You can check real-time availability using the online booking system. Weekday evenings tend to get quite booked up in advance so keep trying.

Before your first massage you need to complete the massage consent form with health information. There are certain conditions which either need to avoid massage in a particular area or completely. Some conditions or medications will require you either to have a letter from your GP or other healthcare professional. Otherwise, you need to self-certify that you wish to proceed without a letter from a medical professional.

*You should not take any painkillers such as Ibuprofen for a few hours before massage.
