What Jenny offers

What is Chinese massage?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete healing system. Chinese massage is a key part of that healing system, along with acupunture, herbal medicine, nutrition and exercise.

Chinese massage works, like Thai massage, with the meridians and acupressure points of the body, assisting the healthy freeflow of energy (ch'i). Some recipients of Chinese massage find that in practice it feels like it incorporates the best of deep tissue massage, reflexology and myofacial therapy. The therapist may use hands, knees, legs and feet to give you a series of yoga-like stretches.

Many people enjoy Chinese massage because it is so similar to the feeling one gains from Hatha yoga postures; muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure points are all used during treatment.

How do I book a session?
The best way is to email Jenny on: jenny@batterseamassage.com - stating the requested time of the appointment and address.
Or you can call on 07887 805570 - and leave a message; Jenny will get back to you as soon as she can.
Appointments are currently available all day on Fridays and Saturdays, plus some weekday evenings. Please aim to book your appointments a week in advance to avoid disappointment, as she can get very busy at key times of the week!

What else do I need to know?
Not much really! You simply make a booking with Jenny via telephone or email.
Jenny will be punctual, turning up a few minutes before the agreed time.
Please have 2 clean large towels ready for use: one to be put down on the floor of your sitting room (on which you will be massaged), the other to be draped over you during the massage.
Please note also that you can be fully clothed for your massage - or if you prefer to have a massage with oils, you can wear only underwear. Feel free to prepare the room before Jenny arrives - lots of people like to get the room quite warm, light candles and put on some music to relax to... Be aware also that you don't need a great deal of space (most sitting rooms will be perfectly ok), but it is a good idea to have the room warm so you don't feel cold during the massage.

Tips for a really great massage?
  • Don’t eat a heavy meal before the massage
  • have a hot relaxing shower beforehand
  • Remember to drink plenty of water after to help the detoxifying effect
  • Relax and enjoy it - Jenny gives an incredible massage
