Hello, my name is Saskia Chaplin and I am an experienced bodywork practitioner working in Bristol. I am able to draw on different skills and techniques, combining them with sensitivity to adapt to your needs. I have trained in Holistic massage, Thai massage, and Ayur Yogic massage as well as the subtle and profound focus of Craniosacral Therapy. These treatments can be experienced individually or, in some cases, integrated.
Feel free to contact me to discuss the treatment plan that best suits you. I am also able to offer Massage Tuition to couples and friends, sharing simple techniques for you to share massages in a way that is enjoyable and effective and won't tire out the giver!

Services
I invite you to come back into your body, understanding the inter-relationship with body and mind.
I believe these sessions are at their most effective as a participatory experience; where the receiver actively 'receives' through awareness, intention and breath.
I qualified in Holistic massage with the Bristol College of Massage & Bodywork (BCMB) in 2002.
Since qualifying with BCMB I have continued my professional development with advanced training including; Mobilising Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Freeing The Shoulders.

As part of your first visit I will take a confidential consultation.

For our first session, where possible it is helpful to book in at least an extra 15 minutes to allow for our initial consultation.
This means that you will get a decent amount of hands on time.
As a basic guide: 1 hour allows for an in-depth focus over one area or a full body massage, 1 hour 15 minutes may allow for a full body massage with focus in a particular area, 1 hour 30 minutes enables more detailed focus over your whole body, and 2 hours is a great treat for a very relaxed pace with lots of detail all over.
