Remedial Bowen Massage
Unlike traditional Bowen therapy, Real Bodyworx Bowen combines remedial massage with the relaxing strokes of Lomi Lomi, using small, precise movements at specific pressure points to work on the soft connective tissue (fascia) of the muscles. This gentle technique is designed to support movement and function, encourage balance through the tissue and body as a whole, and promote a deep sense of relaxation.
Bowen therapy may offer relief from conditions including:
Acute and chronic musculoskeletal or neurological pain
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
Back, neck, shoulder, arm and leg pain
Sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome
Frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis
Stress, anxiety and low mood
Sporting and traumatic injuries
General joint pain
Many clients also report increased energy, improved circulation and a general sense of wellbeing following treatment.

This treatment blends classic Swedish massage with the flowing, rhythmic techniques of Lomi Lomi to support circulation, nurture your tissues, and ease muscle fatigue. Surrender to full-body relaxation as calming, therapeutic touch brings a sense of harmony to body and mind.
Mindfulness Massage
Do you find it hard to switch off during a massage? Do the to-do lists start piling up the moment you lie down? This experience is designed for exactly that. Your treatment begins with a calming 10-minute guided meditation, helping settle your mind and ease you into the right headspace for relaxation.
As your massage continues, gentle guidance helps bring wandering thoughts back to the present moment, allowing you to fully unwind and leave the mental noise behind. Enjoy a deeper, more peaceful state of relaxation — one that can stay with you long after you leave the table.
Hot Stone Massage
A deeply relaxing experience that uses warm stones to create heat and warmth in the muscles, stimulates acupressure points to relieve tension, and leaves your energy rebalanced and restored.
Raindrops Massage Technique
This massage technique uses seven pure, high-quality essential oils, dropped along the spine and vital points of the feet, combined with feather-light massage strokes to relieve stress and tension. The energetic frequency of the oils helps clear blocked energy within the chakras, promoting relaxation and enhancing energy and balance.
The following seven essential oils are used in this treatment:
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) — cleansing and immune-boosting
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) — promotes peaceful sleep, immune support and purification
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) — soothes sore muscles and joints, eases anxiety, and promotes mental clarity
Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) — promotes vitality and energy
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) — soothes muscular and joint discomfort, supports healthy respiratory function
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) — reduces feelings of stress, supports immunity
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) — clarifying, cooling, and enlivening; helps balance the mind
Following your one-hour ritual, many clients feel a noticeable sense of eased muscular tension and restored balance.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a science based on the principle that certain parts of the body reflect the whole. There are approximately 7,000 nerve endings that can be found on the feet, each one relates to a reflex point that connects through the nervous system to corresponding parts of the body. These points respond to pressure, stimulating the movement of energy along the nerve channels allowing the body to start progressively clearing blockages, re-establishing energy flows and restoring balance, resulting in improved health.
