Expert Massage Therapy and Holistic Bodywork in Glasgow

Welcome. I provide expert massage therapy in Glasgow city centre, offering a wide range of specialist treatments tailored to your unique needs, from sports recovery to lymphatic drainage, pregnancy massage to holistic relaxation. My core philosophy is that no two bodies are the same, and therefore, no two treatments should be identical. Your session will always be tailored to your unique needs, goals and circumstances on the day.

Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, support during pregnancy, recovery from athletic activity, or simply a vital moment of peace and relaxation, there is a therapy here for you. Please explore my offerings below to see how I can support your journey to better health.

Your wellbeing is my top priority. That begins with creating an experience where you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you arrive.

  • Consultation: We’ll start with a confidential chat about your health history, your reasons for seeking massage and your goals for the session. This is your time to tell me what’s going on.
  • During the Massage: I will check in with you regarding pressure to ensure you are always comfortable. And, with a heated blanket underneath, you will doubtless find moments of rest and deep relaxation.
  • After the Session: I will offer you a glass of water and may suggest some simple stretches or self-care tips to help you prolong the benefits of your treatment.

Myofascial Dry Cupping

An ancient technique with modern applications, Myofascial Dry Cupping uses plastic cups to create negative pressure, lifting the skin and underlying soft tissue. This process helps to decompress tight muscles and fascia (which is the connective tissue surrounding your muscles), increase blood flow to stagnant areas and release stubborn knots that deep pressure alone cannot resolve. It can be integrated into most of the tailored therapeutic sessions offered by Glasgow Holistic Massage.

  • Releasing deep-set muscle tension
  • Improving mobility
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Easing pain

Booking in for a manual lymphatic drainage massage in our Glasgow practice offers a suite of holistic health benefits.

GHM FAQ

What type of massage do I need?

If you’re unsure which treatment is right for you, start with a 60-minute holistic or sports and remedial massage. We’ll begin each session with a short consultation to understand your needs, then tailor the treatment to relieve tension, ease pain and promote overall wellbeing.

How often should I have a massage?

It depends on your goals. Many clients come every 4–6 weeks for maintenance, while those managing injuries or stress benefit from weekly or fortnightly sessions. Consistency helps your body adapt and sustain the benefits of each treatment.

Can I have a massage if I’m pregnant?

Yes — from your second trimester onwards. Our pregnancy massage is designed specifically for comfort and safety, supporting you through the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy. Please let us know how many weeks along you are when booking.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and who is it for?

MLD is a gentle, rhythmic technique that stimulates your lymphatic system to remove waste and reduce swelling. It’s excellent for post-surgery recovery, aesthetic aftercare (e.g. following liposuction) and conditions involving fluid retention. It also promotes relaxation and immune support.

What is the difference between deep tissue and sports massage?

Deep tissue massage focuses on releasing chronic muscle tension through slow, firm pressure.
Sports massage combines deep tissue work with stretching and mobility techniques, tailored to improve performance, prevent injury and speed recovery.

Does massage help with stress and anxiety?

Absolutely. Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system — your body’s “rest and restore” mode — helping lower cortisol levels and release tension. Many clients notice improved sleep, mood and focus after regular sessions.

Is dry cupping safe?

Yes. At Glasgow Holistic Massage, dry cupping is performed by a trained therapist using sterile equipment. It works by creating suction to release tight fascia and increase blood flow. Light circular marks can appear but fade within a few days.

What is Wood Maderotherapy?

Maderotherapy, or Colombian wood therapy, uses specially designed wooden tools to stimulate circulation, smooth cellulite and assist lymphatic drainage. Combined with Brazilian MLD techniques, it offers both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits — ideal for body sculpting and detoxifying treatments.

Do you offer workplace or on-site massage?

Yes. Acupressure chair massage is perfect for workplaces, events or wellness days. It’s done fully clothed in a supportive chair and focuses on relieving tension in the neck, shoulders and back — a great way to boost energy and morale.

What should I expect during my first appointment?

You’ll start with a short consultation to discuss your goals and any health concerns. Anny will explain the treatment, answer questions and make sure you feel comfortable before beginning. After your session you’ll receive aftercare advice to help you make the most of the results.

What should I wear or bring to my appointment?

For most treatments, you’ll undress to your comfort level — only the area being worked on is uncovered. For Thai foot or chair massage, loose clothing is ideal. All towels and oils are provided; you just need to bring yourself and an open mind to relax.

Do you sell gift vouchers or massage packages?

Yes! Gift vouchers are available year-round and can be used for any treatment.
