What Is Swedish Massage?

Swedish Massage uses smooth, flowing strokes (effleurage, petrissage, kneading) to relax the muscles without deep pressure. The goal is to calm the nervous system, improve circulation and create a deep sense of comfort throughout the body.Unlike deep tissue or sports massage, Swedish Massage focuses on relaxation, softness and nervous-system reset, not strong pressure.

Who Is This Treatment For?

This massage is ideal if you experience:

  • Stress, overwhelm or nervous system overload

  • Poor sleep or difficulty relaxing

  • Tension from work and daily responsibilities

  • Emotional stress held in the body

  • Feeling exhausted or “mentally heavy”

  • Sensitivity to deep pressure

  • Wanting a gentle, nurturing touch

It’s also perfect for first-time clients or anyone needing a calming, soothing treatment.

What Areas I Typically Work On

Depending on your preference, Swedish Massage can include:

  • Back, shoulders and neck

  • Arms and hands

  • Legs and feet

  • Full back of the body

  • Optional abdomen and chest area

  • Optional scalp work

Everything is adapted to how you feel on the day.

How Swedish Massage Works

To encourage deep relaxation, I use:

  • Long, flowing strokes

  • Gentle kneading

  • Light to moderate pressure

  • Rhythmic movements

  • Calming pace

  • Aromatic oils (optional)

This shifts your body from fight-or-flight into a rest-and-repair state, lowering tension and improving overall wellbeing.

Benefits of Swedish Massage

  • Deep relaxation and nervous system calm

  • Reduced stress and anxiety

  • Improved sleep quality

  • Lower muscle tension without strong pressure

  • Enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow

  • Softer breathing and clearer mind

  • Feeling grounded and emotionally lighter

Many clients describe it as “resetting the whole body”.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  • A quiet, warm treatment room

  • Slow, gentle, nurturing touch

  • Oil used on the back and body

  • Optional head, face or foot work

  • Adapted pressure based on sensitivity

  • No sudden movements or strong pressure

  • A calm environment encouraging deep rest

Clients often fall asleep during the session.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Swedish Massage works beautifully as:

  • A one-off reset

  • A weekly/fortnightly mindfulness routine

  • A monthly wellbeing treatment

If you’re stressed, overworked or struggling with sleep, regular sessions have a powerful long-term effect.
