60 Mins: £70 80 Mins: £95
Gua Sha Body Massage uses a smooth-edged tool to apply gentle, targeted pressure across the skin, encouraging lymphatic flow and helping release built-up tension in the muscles. Rooted in traditional East Asian practice, it’s designed to clear stagnation and help the body reset.
If you’re feeling sluggish or stiff, this treatment offers a different kind of release that deals with the kind of tension that keeps coming back or doesn’t respond to other types of massage.
Why Choose Gua Sha Body Massage?
Unlike standard massage, Gua Sha body massage works along the fascia and energy channels, targeting areas of restriction with focused strokes. It targets the layers standard massage often misses - using controlled pressure to break up tightness and restore flexibility.
This hands-on treatment works well for recurring muscle tension that doesn’t respond to general massage or stretching.

What happens during a Gua Sha Body Massage Massage?
After a quick consultation, your skin will be lightly oiled so the tool can move comfortably without pulling. The Gua Sha body massage tool is used in long, flowing strokes that blend naturally into the rhythm of the massage, focusing on areas like the back, neck, shoulders, and limbs.
You may notice warmth, light marking, or a sense of release as the treatment progresses. Although the treatment can appear quite intense, most people find it surprisingly calm-inducing.
Each session lasts around 60 minutes, with time to settle before and after, so you can leave feeling steady and unhurried.
