bodyways
(bespoke fusion approach with oil / ground based)
A steady, rhythmic, sensual rescue with oil. Using broad skin contact, flowing touch, body-weight, full-body holds and assisted stretching; the session works with tension, stress and long-held patterns in the body.
People often leave feeling more mobile, more balanced, in less pain and with a sense of contentedness and inner calm. Deeper sleep is reported often and lingers well beyond the session.
Best for: Clients looking for unique, remedial and nurturing touch. Especially supportive if you’re stress-heavy, have chronic tension or wanting to feel more free and at home in your body.
Dress code: Oil based massage is usually received nude with draping provided. Underwear may also be work if preferred.
holistic thai
(dry work, clothed, ground based)
A fully clothed, grounding treatment focused on easing tension, fatigue, and postural strain. The session combines grounded pressure, intuitive touch, dynamic postures and assisted stretching .
Clients often notice reduced discomfort, improved mobility and posture and a feeling of lightness, clarity and suppleness that extends beyond the session.
Best for: Clients who want grounding bodywork without oil or nudity. Well suited if you’re dealing with aches, postural strain, fatigue, or injury or if you prefer a clearer structure and staying clothed while still working deeply.
Dress code: Please wear loose, comfortable, breathable clothing.
Yin & Flow
Sometimes you need a few more tools and time to let go. Yin & Flow is a long form session where you get to practice a particular style of yoga with me, before we move into hands on work.
My style of yoga is not about aesthetics. It’s about finding shapes that work for you so that you can be and feel more you. My Vajrasati & Yin training will help us move your body through a number of different shapes, finding the yummiest sensations and allowing you to rest.
By the time we’ve enjoyed this preliminary practice together, your body will be in the perfect state to really receive touch. Moreover, the practice will have given us a lot more information about what’s happening in your body to craft the best bodywork experience for you.
You can choose how you would like to receive touch based on the styles above.

“If you're looking to take some time out for the crazy world that is life, I absolutely recommend Darren. The treatment was just sublime, I had 2 hours of absolute escapism, he started off understanding why you are there and then tailors the experience to your needs. It is different to the usual massage, but it feels very intimate yet safe at the same time. I cannot wait to go back.”
