Haven Pampering

Home is where the heart is … along with the mess and noise! The best way to relax is often to escape from your everyday responsibilities, leaving visual reminders of your busy routine behind for an hour or two. Sometimes, working from home or being a full-time parent can also leave you desperate for a reason to leave the house. You may not have the space for a therapist to work in your home, either. In these situations, the best place to enjoy a massage is in our Haven.

Bassage Body & Mind’s warm, cosy treatment room features a comfortable massage bed with soft music and aromatherapy. Our therapists can choose the best combinations of essential oils to help soothe and regulate your nervous system, as many have positive effects on brain chemistry. You don’t need to thoroughly clean your house before visiting us, and you can completely separate your mind from daily stresses.

A break from stress and responsibility may be the best thing for your physical and mental health. Our normal stress hormone rhythms feature a peak in the morning and gradual taper until bed time, but a heavy load of work without breaks can disrupt this rhythm. This can lead to insomnia if stress hormones remain high, fatigue if your hormonal pathways are too expended for the morning peak, or both. High levels of stress hormones also impair digestion, which reduces the availability of nutrients to your brain and body as a whole.

When you can physically, completely step away from everyday stresses, your body’s production of stress hormones slows right down. It gives your adrenal glands (where cortisol and adrenaline are produced) and your stress hormone receptors a chance to recover. Functions that high stress hormone levels can impair, such as digestion and tissue regeneration, are able to ramp up.

At Bassage Body & Mind, we can provide a whole-body treatment or work on the areas that bother you the most. For further questions, or to book a treatment time with us, click here.
