Tension? Let it go
Gentle and effective treatment for chronic soft tissue pain
Massage Mellifera - five star rated clinical and sports massage treatments in East Grinstead, specialising in chronic pain and ScarWork.
Massage Mellifera
Aiming to provide the best massage in East Grinstead, I offer relaxation and clinical massage treatments in my lovely, easy to access treatment room in Railway Approach..
Specific issues such as sciatica, shoulder tension, a stiff neck, low back or knee pain, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome can be addressed and relieved. I achieve very good results with headaches and clients with depression, anxiety and chronic health conditions such as MS and Fibromyalgia are finding my treatments to be highly beneficial.
I get excellent outcomes with muscle and other soft tissue pain, often achieving a significant reduction in pain levels and improved range of motion. I use a combination of heat (Stones), myofascial release, a number of massage techniques including trigger point therapy and various stretches. I always work from a point of sensitive, gentle touch - accessing deeper muscles slowly yet effectively. So much more than a sports massage!
I am trained in scar work and often able to soften the adhesions of scar tissue which can cause any number of issues and tension throughout the body.
Qualified in Advanced Clinical Massage, DBS checked and fully insured. I originally trained with the wise Michael Gibbons at the https://collegeofclassicalmassage.com/ and, amongst other CPD courses, fine tuned my skills with https://www.jingmassage.com/.
I am an accredited member of the Complementary Health Professionals Association, https://www.complementaryhealthprofessionals.co.uk/ to show my commitment to exceptional standards In the profession.
About Me
May I introduce myself: I am Charlotte, mum to a laid back teenager, friend to my many honeybee colonies and a therapist who loves taking people’s pain away.
After my A-levels I trained for three years in sculpture and worked for over 20 years in various therapeutic and care settings.
I qualified as a massage therapist five years ago and am certain that I have found my calling.
I love being able to fully focus on one person at a time, giving my client’s my full and undivided attention.
About Mellifera
The name Mellifera is a grateful nod to my friends and teachers, the bees.
Mellifera means "bringer of honey". Honeybees, Apis Mellifera, were recognised as sacred by ancient cultures and are to many people still an enigma today.
My bees have taught me to work calmly, with focus and loving attention through my hands.
