massage & bodywork

for mental, physical, and nervous system health

“how do we become calm, find flow, feel space and spaciousness, and appreciate the unique and universal bodies we inhabit?”

– andrea olsen

“the body keeps the score”

– bessel van der kolk

and every body is different.

in my sessions, we spend time exploring what sort of massage and bodywork feels right for you, because this helps you to begin to let the touch in, and perhaps to gently let go of whatever you no longer need to be holding. this is where deeper healing happens.

you remain empowered to make adjustments or change your mind at any time. if something is not working for you, you can change it. otherwise you can simply let yourself deeply receive.

sessions can be with or without oil, and clothed, partially clothed, or unclothed (draped), according to what style of massage and bodywork you ask for and what feels good for you.

to put it simply:

I listen, I offer choices, I offer gentle yet powerful and intuitive touch,

tailored to you.

every session is bespoke.

  • client-led, holistic, and systemic massage in four possible styles:

    • earth – feeling a sense of weight and compression sinking into the tissues, and expansion as the weight comes out

    • water – flowing, enveloping, rhythmical strokes in a continuous nurturing flow

    • fire – stretching, mulching, and mobilising the structure of your body

    • air – an experience of subtlety, space, and presence

    with guidance, you choose the style and depth of massage, and remain empowered to make adjustments or change your mind at any time. if something is not working for you, you can change it. otherwise you can simply let yourself deeply receive.

    with or without oil, and clothed, partially clothed, or unclothed (draped), according to what style of massage you ask for and what feels good for you.

    60 min or extended 90 min sessions available – £75 or £95.

    book 4 weekly/fortnightly for deeper results and 20% off.

    like most natural therapies, massage has a cumulative effect. this means that when you have regular sessions, one or two weeks apart, you will notice more benefits each time. your body remembers how good it felt after the previous session, and automatically starts to release tension the moment you get on the table. this means that your third session is many times more effective than your first.

  • manual therapy approach using sustained and often subtle pressure (without oil), to listen to and encourage the body's innate capacity to self-regulate, rebalance, and realign. less is more.

    each session is bespoke, integrating myofascial release, trauma discharge massage, craniosacral therapy, and other modalities to find what works for you. including gentle non-verbal and sometimes verbal inquiry to invite physical release alongside somatic and emotional awareness.

    everything is invitational, nothing is forced.

    clothed, partially clothed, or unclothed (draped) according to what you’re coming for and what feels good for you.

    sessions last 60-90 min – £85.

    book 3 weekly/fortnightly for deeper results and 20% off.

nervous system soothing

(6- or 12-session treatment programme)

a programme of 6 sessions in 6 weeks, or 12 in 12 weeks.

trauma-informed touch tailored to you and your nervous system – together we discover your unique ‘touch profile’, and what coming home to a ventral vagal state of relaxation, presence and connection feels like for you. over time this process helps to re-tune your nervous system towards that down-regulated state.

includes somatic coaching and weekly strategies for self-regulating and centring between sessions.

everything is invitational, nothing is forced, and we move at your pace.

usually clothed, although can also be partially clothed, or unclothed (draped) according to what feels good, safe, and comfortable.

first session 90 min - 2 hours, thereafter 60-90 min.

£399 for 6, or £699 for 12 – payment plans available.

in this treatment course, I find the work has an exponential effect, which means that investing in 12 sessions for yourself is more than doubly as effective as having two batches of 6 sessions.

desires, limits, & boundaries coaching

this isn’t about touch per se, but about choosing, communication, and clarity.

consent is a key relational skill, and applies to many aspects of our lives beyond touching and being touched. many of us feel uncomfortable or unpracticed in noticing and asking for what we actually want; how to properly honour our own limits and those of others; and how to expand our capacity for choice.

learning and practicing these skills is an essential way of regulating and respecting your system, whether in personal relationships, professional settings, or places of healing.

everything is invitational. nothing has to happen. the noticing and choosing – not the doing – are the practice.

clothed one-to-one or group coaching sessions using practices and exercises based on Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent.

for our first one-to-one session allow up to 2 hours, thereafter 60-90 minutes.
group workshops from 3 hours to a whole weekend.

client testimonials

  • "I have been having regular sessions with mungo for about a year. my sessions have been life-transforming – this may sound like an over-exaggeration but they are the most relaxing and resetting massage impacting me both physically and emotionally. I cannot recommend mungo’s work enough."

    – naomi

  • "I found the four sessions with mungo to be extremely helpful. my condition is much improved, and I am continuing the techniques learned from mungo. my confidence has been restored. I would have no hesitation in booking further, “top up” sessions with mungo if required."

    – alan

  • "at a point in my life where I was so overwhelmed, I dared to put my trust in Mungo. I can only say the Trauma Therapy Massage has at last allowed me to give way to negative patterns that have plagued me for a long time. thank you for allowing emotional responses to return."
