Treatments
A little time, just for you.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing massage, deeper work on tired muscles or simply some time to yourself, there's a treatment for you at Infused with Kindness.
I believe that no two bodies are the same, so why should every massage be?
Rather than following a fixed routine, I combine different massage techniques according to your individual needs, preferences and areas of tension.
Every appointment begins with a short consultation. We'll discuss what you'd like from your treatment, along with any relevant medical conditions, medications, injuries or allergies to identify possible contraindications and ensure your treatment is suitable.
Treatments take place in my peaceful home treatment room in Hopton, Suffolk, using carefully selected botanical oils.
You choose your treatment. Together, we'll make it yours.
Massage Treatments
The Kindness Reset
Personalised Full-Body Massage
60 minutes | £55
A straightforward, relaxing full-body massage with a personalised touch.
Using flowing Swedish massage techniques alongside targeted deeper pressure where appropriate, this treatment covers your back, neck, shoulders, arms and legs.
The focus is on providing a balanced full-body massage, easing everyday muscular tension and helping you unwind.
Pressure is adapted to your preferences, from gentle and relaxing to firmer massage where needed.
As this is a 60-minute treatment, time spent focusing on individual areas is more limited.
Perfect for: Anyone wanting a relaxing full-body massage with some targeted deeper work where needed.
The Restore Ritual
Full-Body Massage with Extended Focused Treatment
75 minutes | £65
More time where you need it most.
The Restore Ritual is designed for those who want more than a general full-body massage.
We'll begin by discussing any areas of muscular tension, restricted movement or discomfort that you'd particularly like us to concentrate on.
Your treatment combines Swedish massage with more focused Deep Tissue techniques, using slower movements, sustained pressure and targeted work on specific muscle groups.
The additional time allows us to work more thoroughly on your priority areas while still enjoying the relaxation of a full-body massage.
For example, we might dedicate extra time to your back, neck and shoulders, or focus on tension around your hips and legs.
Unlike The Kindness Reset, where the emphasis is on a balanced full-body experience, The Restore Ritual prioritises your areas of concern and allows more time for detailed muscular work.
Perfect for: Clients who prefer a more focused treatment, experience recurring muscular tightness or want extra attention given to particular areas.
The Rest & Restore Ritual
Full-Body, Facial & Scalp Massage
90 minutes | £75
My most indulgent massage experience.
This extended treatment combines a personalised full-body massage with additional time for facial and scalp massage.
Using Swedish and targeted Deep Tissue techniques where appropriate, your massage is tailored to your body's needs.
Alongside your full-body massage, you'll enjoy a relaxing foot ritual, gentle facial and scalp massage, warm towels and thoughtful finishing touches.
A beautifully unhurried experience designed to help you slow down and switch off.
Facial and scalp massage can be adapted to your preferences, including whether you'd like oils used on your face or hair.
Perfect for: Anyone wanting more than a traditional full-body massage, with extra time dedicated to relaxation and self-care.
Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage
Targeted Upper-Body Treatment
45 minutes | £45
Not everyone wants or needs a full-body massage.
If you spend long hours at a desk, carry tension around your shoulders or simply prefer a more focused treatment, this could be just what you're looking for.
Using Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques where appropriate, this treatment concentrates on the back, neck and shoulders.
The 45-minute appointment allows us to focus on areas of muscular tightness without needing to cover the whole body.
Pressure is adapted to suit your needs, whether you prefer gentle relaxation or firmer, more targeted work.
Perfect for: Those experiencing everyday muscular tightness around the upper body or anyone looking for a shorter, focused massage.
My Massage Techniques
Different techniques. One personalised treatment.
You might have heard of Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage or Myofascial Release and wondered which one you should book.
The good news? You don't have to decide.
I'm professionally trained in all three techniques, giving me a range of approaches to work with according to your individual needs.
Here's a little explanation of what they involve.
Swedish Massage
Flowing movements, relaxation and general muscular tension.
Swedish massage uses flowing strokes, kneading and rhythmic movements to work with muscles and soft tissues.
It can help you relax, ease everyday muscular tension and enjoy a wonderfully calming experience.
Pressure can range from gentle to firm, according to your preferences.
Swedish massage forms the foundation of my full-body treatments.
Deep Tissue Massage
Focused techniques for areas of muscular tension.
Deep Tissue Massage uses slower movements and more targeted pressure to work with muscles and surrounding soft tissues.
Depending on the area being treated, I may use my hands, fists, forearms or elbows to apply controlled pressure.
This approach can be particularly useful when you prefer firmer massage or want additional attention given to areas of muscular tightness.
And contrary to popular belief, deep tissue massage doesn't have to hurt to be effective!
The aim isn't to apply as much pressure as possible. It's to use the right technique at the right intensity.
Myofascial Release
A slower, more considered approach to soft-tissue work.
Fascia is a continuous network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles and other structures throughout the body.
Myofascial Release uses slow, sustained pressure, gentle stretching and techniques such as skin rolling to work with these tissues.
Unlike traditional massage, some techniques are performed without oil and involve maintaining contact with a particular area for an extended period.
This approach may help reduce certain types of muscular discomfort and improve movement.
A little note about Myofascial Release
I prefer not to incorporate Myofascial Release during your first appointment.
I'd like to get to know you, understand your medical history and how your body responds to massage before considering whether this approach would be appropriate.
Myofascial Release isn't something I want to squeeze into a treatment simply because we have ten minutes left!
Some techniques require sustained contact, and the time needed can vary. For this reason, we would discuss incorporating Myofascial Release into a future appointment, allowing suitable time within your booked treatment.
Occasionally, people experience an unexpected emotional response during bodywork. If this happens, there's no expectation to discuss or explain it. We can simply pause, adjust or stop the treatment.
Your comfort and consent always come first.
Why Combine Different Techniques?
Because your needs aren't necessarily the same every time you visit.
You might arrive wanting a relaxing massage but have particularly tense shoulders.
Perhaps you enjoy firmer pressure on your back but prefer something gentler on your legs.
Or you might benefit from a slower, more focused approach in certain areas.
I don't believe in using the same pressure or technique everywhere simply because that's what the treatment is called.
My role is to listen, assess and adapt.
And your role?
Well, you've already done the difficult bit by finding some time for yourself! 😂
Coming Soon
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage
I'm continuing to expand my treatment skills and will soon be introducing Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage.
This specialised treatment uses rhythmic manual techniques and is commonly offered to support relaxation and temporarily reduce the appearance of puffiness associated with fluid retention.
Unlike my personalised massage treatments, Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage will be offered as a standalone treatment.
More information, treatment details and booking options will be added once I've completed my training.
Reflexology
Complimentary Treatments – Volunteers Welcome
I'm currently completing my professional Reflexology qualification and looking for volunteers to help with my practical training and case studies.
Reflexology is a relaxing treatment involving gentle, targeted pressure applied to different areas of the feet.
It's based on the principle that specific areas of the feet correspond to different parts of the body.
Treatments take place in my peaceful home treatment room in Hopton, Suffolk.
All student reflexology treatments are currently complimentary and involve a short medical consultation and some feedback to support my studies.
Fancy putting your feet up? For free! 😂
If you're curious about reflexology or simply fancy an excuse to switch off for a while, I'd love to hear from you.
Please get in touch if you're interested in volunteering.
Before Your Visit
A few little things worth knowing.
Whether this is your first massage or your fiftieth, I want you to feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.
There's no complicated preparation, but here are a few things worth knowing.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable in!
Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal for arriving and getting dressed afterwards.
You'll be given privacy to undress to your comfort level, and you'll remain appropriately covered with towels throughout your massage.
Only the area being treated will be uncovered.
Your comfort and privacy are always respected.
Should I wear makeup?
Entirely up to you!
If your treatment includes facial massage, please be aware that oils or skincare products may be used, so your makeup might not survive the experience! 😂
If you'd prefer not to have any products applied to your face, just let me know.
What about my hair?
Here's a little warning!
If your treatment includes scalp massage, I may use oil, so you could leave with slightly less glamorous hair than you arrived with. 🤦🏻♀️
If you have somewhere important to go afterwards, just tell me.
We can leave the oil out or skip the scalp massage altogether.
No surprise oily hairstyles!
Should I eat before my treatment?
There's no need to arrive hungry.
A light meal beforehand is absolutely fine, although I'd recommend avoiding a large, heavy meal immediately before your massage.
What about alcohol?
Please avoid drinking alcohol before your appointment.
For your safety, I cannot provide treatment if you're under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs.
What if I have a medical condition?
Before your first treatment, we'll complete a short consultation covering relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, injuries and any other health considerations.
This helps me identify possible contraindications and determine whether your treatment is appropriate or needs to be adapted.
Occasionally, it may be necessary to postpone a treatment or recommend seeking medical advice before proceeding.
Please let me know if anything changes with your health or medication between appointments.
What if I'm feeling unwell?
If you're feeling unwell, particularly with a fever or contagious illness, please contact me to rearrange your appointment.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
I completely understand that life doesn't always go to plan!
If you need to cancel or rearrange your appointment, please give me at least 24 hours' notice.
As a small business, your appointment time is reserved especially for you, and last-minute cancellations mean I may not be able to offer that time to someone else.
Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a charge of 100% of the treatment price. The same applies to missed appointments.
If you're feeling unwell, please get in touch as soon as possible so we can discuss your appointment.
Arriving for Your Appointment
Treatments take place in my private home treatment room in Hopton, Suffolk, by appointment only.
Please aim to arrive at your scheduled appointment time, as I welcome one client at a time.
If you arrive late, your treatment time may need to be shortened to avoid affecting the next appointment.
The full treatment fee will still apply, as your appointment time has been reserved especially for you.
Appropriate Behaviour & Mutual Respect
At Infused with Kindness, I want everyone to feel comfortable, safe and respected.
All treatments are strictly professional, and I welcome clients of all genders.
I treat every client with kindness and respect, and I expect the same in return.
Sexual comments, inappropriate requests, unwanted advances or any form of disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated.
Any such behaviour will result in the immediate termination of the treatment, and future appointments will be refused.
A little kindness and mutual respect go a long way. 💚
Talk to Me!
It's your treatment. Please tell me what you need.
This is something I feel quite strongly about.
I can have all the training in the world, but I still need you to tell me what feels right for you!
Please speak to me during your treatment.
If the pressure is too much, tell me.
If you'd like firmer pressure, tell me that too.
If you're cold, uncomfortable or need to change position, just say.
Don't like the music? I'll turn it off.
Would you prefer complete silence? Absolutely fine.
Don't want oil on your face or in your hair? No problem.
Have an area you'd prefer me not to touch? Just let me know.
And if something doesn't feel right, we can change it or stop.
You never need to apologise for asking me to adjust something.
I won't be offended. Quite the opposite!
I can feel muscular tension, but unfortunately, I haven't quite mastered the art of mind-reading. 😂
You're not here to fit into my routine. I'm here to make the treatment work for you.
