Swedish body massage at home with Juli (AD)
I was kindly given a complimentary Swedish body massage at home by the lovely and talented therapist Juli McKie*.
As a new mammy I’m bending over pretty much all day, lifting and carrying my little girl who is gaining weight and I was very much in need of some relaxation and me time.
Self-care as a parent isn’t at the forefront of your priorities but it is important to look after yourself too and it’s something I do try to do.
Juli’s offer couldn’t come soon enough as the knots in my back were getting worse by the day.
Sparing an hour with a baby is tough but then adding on travel time too makes it really difficult to have some me time which is why Juli’s mobile massage services are so handy – she comes to you!
Fortunately my husband was on holiday this particular week so he looked after Elsie so I could have an hour to myself for a pamper session uninterrupted.
Juli promptly arrived at our home for our 10 o’clock appointment. She brings everything she needs for the appointment with her so there’s no need to worry about having towels etc.
As the kitchen probably has the most clear floor space (it’s amazing just how much stuff a little baby has) Juli set up in there.

While she set up her table and equipment we had a nice chat and I filled in the relevant paperwork prior to my treatment.
She has a variety of clients from those with chronic illness, older people with aches and pains, new parents like myself and those who just like a treat every now and again.
I immediately felt at ease as she’s really lovely and friendly.
As soon as I was comfortable on the massage table Juli started to work her magic.
One of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body and after just a couple of minutes it was apparent that this is one of her specialities. I felt so relaxed.
Juli worked wonders on the knots in my back and afterwards my whole body felt lighter.
The hour soon flew by and it was the perfect way to start a weekend.
If you’re looking for relaxation and relief from tense, tight muscles, Swedish massage by Juli is for you.
The Swedish body massage is a one hour massage of the legs, feet, arms, hands, back, shoulders and neck and costs £40.
As well as Swedish body massage Juli also offers hand and foot massage, deep tissue massage, back neck and shoulder massage and facials.
Juli also offers bespoke massage therapy packages for holidays, hen parties, weddings and for the workplace.
