Beyond Tension:

A Whole-Body Philosophy

A Thoughtful Approach to Bodywork

At Nidra108, I look beyond the surface of tension.

It is never simply about easing tight shoulders or releasing hips that feel restricted. It is about understanding why the body is holding that tension in the first place.

Is it physical exertion?
Or is the body responding to stress, overwhelm, exhaustion, or a nervous system that has been in “fight or flight” for too long?

Often, we assume we need strong pressure because the body feels tight or sore. Yet in many cases, what the body truly needs is something far gentler - slow, rhythmic, intentional touch that signals safety.

A reminder to the nervous system:
You can soften now.
You are safe here.

When the body feels safe, it begins to release.
Not only through technique, but through trust.

There are, of course, moments where deeper, more targeted pressure is beneficial — particularly in specific areas of persistent tension. But this rarely requires an entire treatment of intensity.

There are other moments when a soft push or pull is needed, assisted stretching or gentle mobility work -techniques that allow your limbs to move with no energy or effort from you.

For this reason, I intuitively weave together multiple therapeutic approaches within a single session. This ensures your treatment responds to your whole system — muscular, nervous, and energetic — rather than addressing only one layer.

Every session is tailored.
Every body is listened to.
Every treatment is designed to restore balance, not just relieve symptoms.

What therapies can you expect to experience at Nidra108?

Swedish body massage

Where it all started, and where the foundations of my massage therapies lie, Swedish body massage uses a series of techniques to stimulate blood circulation and sooth aches and pains.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a therapy I chose to study so I could support my clients beyond relaxation alone.

While rest and nervous system regulation are foundational, there are times when the body calls for more focused, deliberate work — particularly in areas holding persistent tightness or long-standing tension.

Deep tissue techniques allow me to work with precision, addressing these deeper layers thoughtfully and effectively, while still anchoring the treatment in calm and care.

Indian Head

The Nidra Indian head massage is a treatment combining massage on the back, shoulders, scalp, and face. Specific techniques are used to target the muscles in these areas, releasing tension and stress throughout the mind, body, and soul.

Pre-natal Massage

A beautifully relaxing treatment for during pregnancy. While the client lays in a safe and comfortable position, aches, and pains are tended to with a healing touch.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

A soft light, rhythmic treatment that supports the body’s natural detoxification and renewal. Manual Lymphatic drainage encourages healthy circulation and reduces puffiness - especially beneficial for during pregnancy, post surgery, and injury recovery. It also enhances skin health, improvse immune functions & hormone health as well as restoring a sense of inner clarity and lightness.

Aromatherapy

Just like the classic Swedish massage, a gentle, warm, soothing touch takes you to a place of calm and relaxation but with the addition of healing aromas.

Choose from a mix of preblended oils, or we can work together to create a blend just for you. Aromatherapy has incredible benefits and depending on what your mind, body, and soul need will depend on what oils will most benefit you.

Brow Lamination

Using the same high-quality products from Elleebanna for our Lash Lift & Tint, as well as a hybrid stain from London Brow Company, a Brow Lamination is a treatment set to enhance your brows by creating a thicker, fuller brow. Don’t panic, we don’t need to go bushy here, but filling the gaps by setting the hairs in a structured way means you can create a beautifully full, even and bolder brow.

Lash Lift & Tint

Using none other than Elleebanna lifting solutions, this treatment will enhance your natural lashes by lifting them at the root creating the appearance of brighter eyes and fuller lashes.

Facial Waxing

Waxing services across the whole face are available. Brows, lips, chins and cheeks.
