HANDS-ON THERAPIES
Grounded body-based support
Hands-on Therapies
Hands-on therapies offer a grounded, body-based approach to wellbeing, supporting relaxation, release, and reconnection with the physical self. This work is rooted in presence, skilled touch, and respect for the body’s natural rhythms and wisdom.
These sessions are particularly supportive when the body is holding tension, stress, or fatigue, or when you feel the need to return to a sense of steadiness and embodiment.
How this work supports you
Hands-on therapies may be supportive if you are:
-
Experiencing physical tension or muscular discomfort
-
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or depleted
-
Seeking relaxation and nervous system regulation
-
Wanting to reconnect with your body in a safe, supportive way
-
Supporting your overall wellbeing alongside other healing work
This work is not about pushing or forcing release, but about creating the conditions where the body can soften and respond in its own time.
The approach
My approach to hands-on therapies is attentive and intuitive, guided by many years of experience and training. Sessions are tailored to you, your body, and what feels appropriate on the day.
Depending on your needs, sessions may include:
-
Body Massage
-
Bespoke Massage Therapy
-
Reflexology
-
Hot Stone Massage
Each session is held with care, clear boundaries, and respect for your comfort, consent, and individual needs.
How this work fits within The Knotted Tree
Hands-on therapies form an important part of The Knotted Tree’s roots. While my work has expanded into energy healing, mentoring, and ceremonial spaces, body-based therapies remain a valuable and grounding pathway for those seeking physical support and relaxation.
Some people choose hands-on therapies as a standalone support; others experience them alongside energy or mentoring work as part of a more holistic approach.
Practical details
Hands-on therapy sessions are offered in person at The Knotted Tree.
Session lengths and availability vary — you’re welcome to get in touch to explore what might best support you.

If you feel drawn to this more grounded, body-based work, you’re welcome to book a session or reach out with any questions. We’ll take things at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
Body Massage
60 minutes
£55
A bespoke massage using varied pressure and speed to perform techniques that have stimulating effects on the mind, body and soul. It helps improve circulation, releases endorphins and relieves stress and tension within the muscles. Warm bamboo sticks can also be used in this treatment.
Aromatherapy pure essential oils are also used during this treatment to induce a feeling of deep relaxation, which can help to lower stress and anxiety and relieve insomnia and depression.
Bespoke Massage
Treatment
60 minutes
£55
After a consultation it may be that the best way forward for the client to benefit fully is to combine treatments to suit the individual needs. This treatment could include massage, reflexology, energy healing or hot stones.
For example; 30min back massage followed by a 30min reflexology treatment or a 30min back massage followed by a 30min energy healing.
This will be agreed by the client and therapist before the treatment proceeds.
Reflexology
60 minutes
£55
Reflexology works on specific points of the feet to balance the whole body. Each point corresponds to a certain part or area of the body. By stimulating these reflex points congestion and imbalances can be detected which in turn will help release the blockages and encourage the body’s own natural healing process.
This therapy helps to reduces stress, increases energy levels, improves circulation, removes toxins and promotes health and well-being. Guided meditation is also offered with this treatment if required.
Hot Stone Massage
60 minutes
£55
​Hot stone massage is a therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The hot stones are placed on specific points of your body and may also be held while giving the massage. The localised heat and weight of the stones warm and relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.
​Ear Candling
(Inc face & head massage)
60 minutes
£55
Ear Candling treatment involves placing an ear candle into the ear canal. As the candle burns down it is believed to act like a ‘chimney’ creating a light vacuum effect while the flame creates vibrations that massage the eardrum.
Combined with a light massage of the outer ear, and a pressure point and lymphatic drainage massage of the face this complements the effects of the ear candling by helping to release blockages in the sinuses and ears.
Energy Healing
(Sekhem/Angelic Reiki/Crystals/ Sound healing)
60 minutes
£55
This is a bespoke treatment to suit individual requirements. Energy healing whether it be Reiki, Sekhem, Crystals or Sound healing is a deeply relaxing therapy that can be carried out seated or lying on a couch. The hands-on or off technique is non-obtrusive and helps restore physical and emotional well-being within the individual's subtle energies. It’s very good for relaxation, stress, depression, helps to re-balance any blockages on an emotional & physical level, encourages and increases the body’s own natural healing process.
