L A Beauty & Spa

This is why I love looking at the body as a whole.

You can see a visible difference around the base of the neck after massage — the tissue looks less congested, the contour appears smoother and there’s less puffiness through the area.

Massage helps to work through muscular tension while also encouraging circulation and normal lymphatic drainage.

We can’t diagnose “fluid retention” from a photograph alone, but we can absolutely see that the tissues have responded to the treatment.

A brilliant example of why massage isn’t just about relaxation.

And this is my neck... so i know it's genuine.

Plus I love looking at what that area of your body pain means.

Upper back: emotional support. Tension here is associated with feeling unsupported, carrying things alone or feeling that there isnt enough support.

This is so true for me right now ❤️

Thanks, Adele, for my fabulous massage 💆‍♀️ 😘

A little behind the scenes of how we work

This is one of my (Louisa) favourite shoulder and scapula mobilisation moves...

By gently moving the arm and shoulder through this position, I can encourage movement around the shoulder blade and stretch through some of those areas that become tight from everyday life.

Think phones, laptops, driving, working at a desk… or, in my case, years spent leaning over a beauty couch! 😂

It can be particularly lovely for helping with:

Tight shoulders
Upper back tension
Restricted shoulder movement
Tightness across the chest and front of the shoulder
That horrible “everything feels stuck” feeling around the neck and shoulder blades

I love adding movements like this into massage because sometimes the area that hurts isn’t necessarily the only area that needs working on.

Getting the shoulder, arm and shoulder blade moving together can help the whole upper body feel much freer.

And yes… those circles are from cupping too 😂

Massage should be so much more than just rubbing where it hurts.

It's just a little fun...

But it is very true!

The mask we have to wear when you are a Beauty Therapist or a Business Owner!

No matter what is happening in our world, we have to put on that mask and get on with our day.

It's not fake, it is just want we have to do.

People come to see us to relax and not to hear our woes...

At your needs come first. Our heart and soul goes into all of our treatments ❤️

This is so important for clients to understand how massage truly effects their body.

It's not just a treat and a luxury. Your body needs it to help it function efficiently.

Your bloody circulation is naturally increased and it helps feed your organs and keep everything working how it should.

Obviously a bonus is your muscles feel better and you feel less stressed.
