WELCOME
Hello! I'm Maggie.
I primarily practice Swedish massage; holistic, soft tissue massage which focuses on muscle relaxation and increased circulation, delivering a huge range of benefits to your physical and mental wellbeing. I am qualified in advanced deep tissue techniques and will incorporate these into your massage routine if needed for specific areas of pain or tension. There is also the option of adding hot stones to treatments, to further aid physical and mental deep relaxation.
All massages are unique and tailored to your needs and goals.

I am ITEC Level 3 qualified, fully insured and practice from my lovely house in Ide, on the outskirts of Exeter (close to M5 and A30).
What can I expect?
When you come for your first treatment, I'll meet you from your car in the car park. We'll walk up the garden path, have a toilet stop if needed in the farm visitor toilets, then head into my home.
We'll spend a few minutes filling in a consultation form which covers some personal info and a little medical history. This time is also useful as it allows me to find out if there are any particular aches and pains that require a bit more attention, any areas you'd like me to focus on or avoid, to answer any questions and to discuss your preferences. You can help yourself to a jug of fresh water and get warm by the log burner.
We'll decide the plan of action together before I leave the room and let you get undressed, comfortable and under the towel in your own time. My massage table is wide, comfy, heated and has a weight limit of 273kg. I'll reenter the room and begin your massage. I will ensure you are cosy and covered up with fresh towels throughout your massage, with just the area I am working on exposed at a time. I use gorgeous organic massage oils with various essential oil blends with different benefits, but if you have very sensitive skin there is the option of using plain organic grape seed oil.
I want your massage to be a quiet and calm experience for you, so I spend time encouraging you to feel confident in letting me know if massage pressure needs to change rather than me constantly asking you. Gentle and dreamy music is playing throughout and aromatherapy oils fill the room with blissful scents.
When your massage comes to an end, I'll step out of the room and allow you to get up, dressed and hydrated in your own time before I come back in, stamp your loyalty card (for great loyalty discounts) and provide you with an aftercare leaflet. Payments are made in person; either cash or bank transfer is fine.
After your massage, feel free to have a walk around West Town Farm, see the cows, the sheep, the beautiful orchards and the organic farm shop.
