Aromatherapy & Holistic Therapies
When your mind feels busy, your body feels tense or you simply know that you need to start looking after yourself again, holistic treatments can give you time and space to stop.
Pause offers aromatherapy massage, restorative body treatments, reflexology, Indian head massage, pregnancy massage and blended wellbeing rituals for women in West Suffolk and Norfolk , close to Brandon, Downham Market and Swaffham.
Each treatment is designed to support relaxation, ease the effects of everyday tension and help you feel more settled in yourself. These are restorative treatments rather than deep, remedial or sports-style massage.
HOLISTIC THERAPIES AT PAUSE
Aromatherapy & body treatments
Choose a treatment focused on slowing down, easing everyday tension and giving your body time to rest.
Treatments can be adapted through pressure, pace, positioning and sensory elements, while remaining within the service booked. The focus is comfort, relaxation and wellbeing rather than intense or remedial bodywork.
Bespoke Aromatherapy Massage
A personalised massage using carefully selected essential oils to support relaxation, ease everyday tension and create space for you to breathe.
Choose from a back, neck and shoulder treatment, a full-body massage, or a longer full-body treatment including facial pressure-point massage.
Restorative Body Massage
A flowing body massage using light to medium pressure to ease everyday tension, encourage rest and help your body feel freer.
This massage is ideal when you want the physical benefits of massage without aromatherapy oils, and something that works well for muscular tension.
Pregnancy Massage (12 wks+)
A carefully adapted massage designed to provide comfort, and relaxation during pregnancy.
Supportive positioning and cushions are used throughout, with options for a shorter back treatment or a full-body massage. Please contact me before booking if you have any pregnancy-related health concerns or have been advised to seek guidance from your midwife or healthcare professional.
Indian Head Massage
A seated massage beginning with the upper back and working through the shoulders, neck, scalp face and ears. An energy positive treatment, Indian Head Massage is ideal when tension gathers around the upper body or when your mind feels too busy to settle.
Warm Lava Shell Massage
A warming massage using smooth heated Lava Shells to glide over the body, ease tension and create a deeply comforting treatment experience. With the heat penetrating your muscles more deeply. Lava Shell Massage is not available June - August.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a focused treatment using gentle pressure on the feet and considered touch to encourage relaxation and support your overall sense of wellbeing. Treatment adaptations can include working on the hands or ears.
Clients often choose reflexology when they feel tired, emotionally stretched, unable to switch off or in need of a treatment that gives them time to be still without full-body massage.
Reflexology can also form part of wider women’s wellbeing support during menopause, fertility journeys, periods of change or disrupted sleep.
Blended massage & reflexology rituals
These longer treatments combine aromatherapy massage with focused reflexology to support a particular area of wellbeing. They are designed for women who want the full-body comfort of massage alongside the quiet, grounding experience of reflexology to ease symptoms and find a deeper sense of self and balance.
Restful Night Aromatherapy
& Reflexology Ritual
Created for women who find it difficult to switch off, settle at night or wake feeling properly rested. A conversation about your sleep patterns and habits followed by your treatment which combines a bespoke aromatherapy full body, face & head massage and a reflexology sequence to aid deep relaxation and calm the mind for improved rest.
Hormonal Wellbeing Massage
& Reflexology Ritual
A longer treatment for women experiencing the physical and emotional effects that can accompany periods, perimenopause and menopause.
Your visit includes a focused wellbeing discussion, personalised aromatherapy massage and a reflexology sequence, with helpful self-care suggestions if needed.
Signature Pause rituals
Signature Pause rituals bring together touch, aroma, sound and carefully chosen sensory elements in treatments created exclusively for Pause.
These are more than standard massage appointments. They are full experiences designed to help you slow down, settle into your body and leave feeling renewed.
Serenity Aromaflow
Serenity Aromaflow is a signature Pause treatment combining my signature aromatherapy blend, a frequency-based soundscape and long, flowing massage movements using the hands and lower arms.
Eastern-inspired techniques are woven through restorative bodywork, facial and scalp massage and focused reflex points to create a continuous treatment experience from beginning to end.
Choose from a back, face and scalp ritual or the full-body Serenity Aromaflow experience.
Seasonal Rituals
The ritual for the summer is Cool, Calm & Reset. A refreshing blend of Lavender & Peppermint, supported with cooling spritz to rebalance that feeling of heaviness that comes with the warm days.
Limited-time treatments created around the season, combining massage of the body & face, aromatherapy oils and sound. Each ritual offers a different way to pause and is available for a set period before the next experience is introduced. Example rituals are the Spring Exhale Ritual which brings a floral blend of Lavender, Geranium, Bergamot & Palmarosa.

Sue’s warmth and professionalism made it so easy to relax and let go of all my worries. I literally felt like I floated out the door, feeling calm, reset, and rejuvenated.
