Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy massage is a deeply relaxing treatment that combines the therapeutic benefits of essential oils with the gentle art of bodywork. Essential oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, or ylang-ylang are carefully chosen based on your needs—whether it’s to relieve anxiety, muscle tension, fatigue, or simply to melt your thoughts into bliss. Using smooth, flowing strokes and light to medium pressure, this massage soothes the nervous system while nourishing the skin and calming the mind.

Many of our therapists offer this treatment with warm oil upon request, adding a deeper sense of comfort and indulgence.

The use of warm oil enhances absorption of the essential oils, improves circulation, and heightens the overall sense of relaxation. If you’re booking Rebecca, you’re in extra luck—she travels with her own warm oil and knows exactly how to blend it into a session that will leave your body floating and your soul quietly applauding.

Aromatherapy massage is available for mobile sessions across London — including warm oil aromatherapy massage exclusively with Rebecca — or can be requested from all therapists during your visit to our private, candlelit incall facility in Central London.

Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue massage is a powerful therapeutic technique designed to address chronic muscle tension and release deeply held stress within the body’s connective tissues and fascia. Ideal for those suffering from persistent pain, tension from physical exertion, or recovery from injuries, deep tissue massage goes beyond the surface to treat underlying muscular issues.

This energizing therapy targets the deeper layers of muscles and tendons to break down knots and adhesions caused by overuse, posture imbalance, or stress accumulation.

Whether you’re an athlete, a desk-bound professional, or someone managing everyday aches, deep tissue massage can help restore flexibility, improve circulation, and accelerate muscle recovery.

At Therapeutic Massage in London, our experienced therapists personalize each session to meet your needs, combining expert knowledge with intuition to deliver a strong, effective massage that recharges your body and leaves you feeling rebalanced and refreshed.

Lomi Lomi Massage – Hawaiian & Californian Esalen

Lomi Lomi massage is a unique healing tradition from Polynesia, often referred to as the “Loving Hands” massage. With long, flowing strokes that travel seamlessly from head to toe using fingers, palms, forearms, and elbows, this deeply immersive technique mimics the rhythm of ocean waves—bringing complete relaxation and emotional release.

Benefits:

• Deep stress relief
• Better sleep
• Improved digestion and circulation
• Detoxification and healing
• Full-body relaxation
• Emotional and spiritual balance


Hawaiian Lomi Lomi

The original form of the therapy, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, is more than a massage—it’s a ritual of renewal. With nurturing movements and an intuitive approach, the therapist gently stretches your limbs, rotates your joints, and works with the flow of energy across your entire body. It’s deeply spiritual, balancing physical and emotional tension.

Therapist: Kat – our specialist in traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi.

Californian Esalen Massage

Esalen massage evolved from Lomi Lomi, taking its wave-like flow and adding an emotional, sensual layer. Often practiced without draping, it focuses on presence, connection, and continuous body contact. The strokes are fluid, sensual, and calming—inviting you to surrender stress and reconnect with your senses.

Therapists: Rebecca, Kasia, and Claudine – offer an intuitive blend of Esalen-inspired movements with their own unique flair.

For those seeking the authentic sensuality and spiritual grounding of traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Kat offers a masterful interpretation of this flowing, heart-centered massage. Her sessions are immersive, intuitive, and true to the roots of this sacred bodywork. The long, sweeping movements from shoulders to feet mimic ocean waves, creating a sense of being lovingly enveloped in rhythm and release.

Meanwhile, Kasia, Rebecca, and Claudine offer a softer, nurturing variation inspired by Lomi Lomi and Esalen styles. Their massages incorporate warm oil (with Rebecca), full-body fluidity, and emotional presence, designed to relax the nervous system and encourage a deep sense of trust and renewal. While Kat is ideal for those desiring a profound, sensual body journey, these other styles are equally therapeutic for clients seeking calm, caring touch with a soothing rhythm and meditative flow.

Facial Massage

Facial Massage (Facial Rejuvenation Therapy) is a non-invasive, natural alternative to cosmetic treatments — designed to restore vitality, improve skin tone, and support anti-ageing through therapeutic touch. This gentle treatment helps release tension locked within facial muscles and connective tissues, encouraging smoother skin and a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Regular facial massage improves circulation, enhances lymphatic drainage, and stimulates collagen production, reducing puffiness, dark circles, and the appearance of fine lines. It’s a deeply relaxing experience that not only promotes glowing skin but also eases emotional tension stored in the face — from jaw clenching to furrowed brows.

Tension and emotional stress can imprint themselves onto our faces, becoming habitual expressions over time. Facial massage gently reawakens dormant muscle tissue, restoring softness, expression, and elasticity.

All of our massage therapists are trained in facial rejuvenation massage and incorporate this technique with care and precision. Whether you book a mobile massage in London or visit our private, candlelit therapy studio in Central London, facial massage can be included upon request.

Foot Massage / Reflexology

FOOT MASSAGE

Foot massage is the art of applying massage therapy techniques specifically to the feet. Often confused with reflexology, traditional foot massage focuses on relaxation and circulation rather than pressure points. This treatment is similar in style to Swedish massage — using oil or lotion and long, gliding strokes to soothe tired feet, relieve tension, and promote whole-body relaxation.

Each session can help ease stress, improve blood flow, and support better sleep. Many clients report deep relaxation, emotional release, and even a sense of euphoria after a foot massage. Whether you’re recovering from a long day of walking or simply craving a calming touch, a foot massage may be just what your body needs.

At Therapeutic Massage In London, all of our massage therapists are trained in foot massage, and each brings their own unique pressure and flow. For help choosing the right therapist or to book a session, please contact the TML team.

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is a traditional Eastern healing practice dating back over 3,000 years. Reflexology is based on the theory that specific points on the feet and hands correspond to organs and systems in the body. Through targeted pressure on these reflex zones, practitioners aim to stimulate energy flow, promote healing, and restore balance. It’s believed to help with a wide range of conditions, from digestive issues and hormonal imbalance to migraines and chronic stress.

Although TML does not currently offer full reflexology sessions, select therapists (such as Rebecca and Jing) may incorporate Thai foot massage and reflex-style pressure techniques into a standard foot massage upon request.


Indian Head / Scalp massage

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Indian Head Massage is a deeply relaxing therapy rooted in the ancient Ayurvedic healing system. This holistic practice focuses on massaging key areas of the upper body — including the scalp, head, neck, shoulders, and upper arms — to release built-up tension and promote balance. Known for easing stress, migraines, and mental fatigue, it’s an excellent remedy for those who carry pressure in the upper body or suffer from tension headaches.

Rebecca is currently the only TML therapist offering authentic Indian Head Massage. Her sessions combine rhythmic pressure, grounding energy work, and intuitive flow to leave you feeling light, clear-headed, and incredibly relaxed.

Available for mobile massage across London or at our private, candlelit incall location in Central London.


SCALP MASSAGE

Scalp massage is a popular therapeutic technique offered by many of our therapists. Using circular motions and fingertip pressure, it helps stimulate blood circulation, release muscular tension, and encourage natural hair growth. A relaxing scalp massage is often included as part of a longer full-body treatment or available upon request as an add-on.

Scalp massage is suitable for nearly everyone and is especially soothing for those experiencing tension headaches, jaw tightness, or general stress.

For help selecting a therapist who offers scalp massage or to customise your session, reach out to our TML team.


Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a highly specialized treatment designed to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system, encouraging the natural drainage of lymph fluids and the removal of toxins. It involves very gentle pressure and rhythmic, flowing movements that help reduce water retention, boost immunity, and support healing after illness or surgery.

This treatment is known to:

  • Improve circulation and fight infection

  • Reduce puffiness and swelling

  • Support weight loss and detoxification

  • Improve the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks

  • Enhance skin texture and clarity

Rebecca is our certified lymphatic drainage specialist and the only therapist at TML currently offering this treatment. For clients seeking a soft, flowing alternative, Kat and Kasia provide an ultra-gentle Swedish massage that offers similar calming effects and may support light lymphatic stimulation.

This gentle treatment is ideal for post-surgical care, immune support, or anyone looking to reduce swelling and improve overall wellness.

Offered exclusively by Rebecca, this massage blends expert technique with soothing warmth and care.

Book your lymphatic drainage massage at our in-call facility in Central London or request a mobile visit anywhere in London.

Qualified Therapist: Rebecca (Manual Lymphatic Drainage)
Alternative Option: Kat & Kasia (Ultra-light Swedish massage with lymphatic benefits) 


Swedish / Holistic

Swedish massage is the foundation of most massage styles and one of the most popular choices among our clients. Rooted in techniques developed by a Swedish physiologist, it focuses on long, flowing strokes, kneading, and gentle pressure to improve circulation, relieve tension, and promote relaxation throughout the body. It’s also referred to as holistic massage, as it treats the body as a whole, supporting overall well-being.

Although all of our therapists are trained and experienced in Swedish massage, each one brings their own signature style and personal touch. Some blend in elements of deep tissue work, others favour lighter, rhythmic strokes; a few incorporate essential oils or subtle energy work. No two sessions are the same, and we encourage clients to explore treatments with different therapists to discover which unique approach suits their needs best.

This classic massage style is excellent for stress relief, improving sleep, enhancing circulation, and restoring a sense of calm. Whether you’re new to massage or a seasoned regular, Swedish massage is a soothing and effective choice.

Warm oil can be requested when booking any of our therapists for a session at our private incall massage facility in Central London, enhancing the relaxation experience. For clients preferring a mobile massage service, Rebecca offers Swedish massage with warm oil, brought directly to your home or hotel.

This luxurious addition of warm oil helps soothe muscle tension more effectively and enhances the sensory experience, creating a deeper state of relaxation. It’s especially beneficial during colder months or when stress levels are high. Whether you’re winding down after work or indulging in self-care, warm oil Swedish massage offers a therapeutic escape.


Sports Massage

Sports Massage is the application of Massage and Stretch techniques to the muscle and connective tissues of the body to enhance athletic performance and maximise the performance of the athlete.

Sporting activities involve muscle activity as the primary motive force and many sporting injuries are directly muscle injuries or originate from muscle dysfunction.

Sports Massage increases range of movement, increases flexibility and relieves muscle soreness.

It assists in injury prevention and promotes faster recovery from both training and injury. Sports Massage is applied to advantage Pre-Event, Inter Event, Post Event and during Rehabilitation. This treatment is not just for the sports person: anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious (occupational, emotional and postural stress may produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries).

Sports massage tends to be deeper and more intense.

It is based on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu. 

The skilled therapist brings together this blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, to work effectively with the client to bring about optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries.

Four & Six Hands massage

Four Hands massage

Also known as Duo Massage, 4 hands massage. Four-handed massage is a massage where two therapists work on you at the same time, mirroring each others' movements. For instance, both your legs or arms are being massaged at the same time. One therapist works on the right side of your back while the other works on the left.
Four-handed massage feels like you are completely enveloped in sensation and can be quite a wonderful experience. To synchronize, one therapist takes the lead and the other follows, but it should feel like they're doing the same thing simultaneously. It helps if they have a similar style and "touch" and have worked together before.
Four-handed massage comes out of the Ayurvedic tradition, where it is called abhyanga.


Massage for Couples

Whether you're on a romantic getaway or simply treating yourself to an indulgent massage session, a couples massage is a great way to relax and rejuvenate both you and your loved one. Despite the suggestive name, couples massages aren't just for couples--friends and family members can also enjoy this invigorating experience together.

For a couples session, massage therapy is usually intended for relaxation purposes rather than the healing of an injury. Swedish massage, the most common form of massage, is often used in couples massage for its relaxing effects.
