Previously known as: Swedish Massage
What Is It?
Muscle Tension Relief Therapy is my tailored approach to what many know as Swedish massage, but this isn’t a cookie-cutter “spa” experience. It’s a therapeutic, focused session designed to help women reset the body’s tension patterns caused by stress, posture, and emotional overload.
I use gentle-to-moderate pressure with flowing strokes that work along the direction of blood flow and lymph, helping to calm the nervous system while manually releasing superficial muscular tightness.
What Is It For?
This treatment is ideal if you:
Feel physically tense but can’t pinpoint why
Wake up with tight shoulders or stiff joints
Are overstimulated, anxious, or have trouble relaxing
Experience postural fatigue from sitting or standing all day
Just need time to breathe, slow down, and feel your body again
Why It Works
When you're constantly in “go” mode, your body holds tension in the background — even when you're resting. This therapy works with your nervous system, not just your muscles.
It:✔️ Improves circulation✔️ Enhances lymphatic drainage✔️ Eases muscle tightness✔️ Supports better sleep and digestion✔️ Calms the stress response
Over time, this helps reset how your body handles daily life.
Who Is It For?
This therapy is especially supportive for:
Women navigating chronic stress or emotional burnout
Perimenopausal or postnatal clients
Office workers or carers with physical strain
Anyone new to massage or needing a gentle reintroduction to therapeutic touch
What to Expect
Sessions are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. You’ll be warm, supported, and covered throughout. I’ll work on your full body or focus where you need it most — back, neck, legs, or shoulders. You may feel light, sleepy, or emotional afterwards. That’s your body releasing.
💬 A Client Said:
“I thought it was just going to help my back, but I walked out feeling emotionally lighter too.”

❤️ A Message from Me
I created this treatment for the woman who’s been strong for too long. The one who gets through the day but wakes up exhausted. The one who feels tense in her body but doesn’t feel “justified” in taking a break.
You don’t have to earn your rest.
This therapy is about allowing your body to soften and be cared for, without expectation, without performance.
You deserve to feel good in your body.
Hope to see you soon,
Alina ❤️
