Welcome to Balance & Heal

Massage, Reiki & Yoga in Buntingford, Hertfordshire

If you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or simply in need of time to switch off, you're in the right place.

At Balance & Heal, I provide personalised massage, Reiki, yoga and holistic therapies designed to help you feel calmer, move more freely and reconnect with yourself.

Every treatment begins with a conversation about how you're feeling physically and emotionally, allowing each session to be tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're looking to ease muscular tension, improve mobility, support your emotional wellbeing or simply enjoy some well-deserved relaxation, you'll receive a treatment that's created specifically for you.

Why Choose Balance & Heal?

Choosing a therapist is personal, and it's important that you feel comfortable, listened to and supported.

I'm a Level 4 Massage Therapist specialising in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage, combining therapeutic massage, assisted stretches and breathwork to help reduce tension, improve flexibility and calm the nervous system.

Alongside massage, I'm also a Reiki Master Teacher, qualified Yoga Teacher and Crystal Therapy Practitioner. This allows me to offer treatments that support both physical and emotional wellbeing, with every session adapted to what you need on the day.

My approach isn't based solely on qualifications. Having experienced addiction, trauma and periods of poor mental wellbeing myself, I understand how difficult life can sometimes feel. The therapies I now offer played a significant role in my own recovery, and they're the reason I'm so passionate about helping others.

Whether you're dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, grief, chronic tension or simply want to make time for yourself, my aim is to provide a calm, welcoming space where you can relax, feel supported and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.

Personalised massage treatments designed to reduce stress, ease tension and support your overall wellbeing.

Whether you're experiencing muscular aches, emotional overwhelm, poor sleep, or simply need time to relax, every massage is tailored to how you're feeling on the day.

Following a short consultation, your treatment is adapted to your individual needs, combining therapeutic techniques with a calm, supportive approach to help you leave feeling lighter, more relaxed and restored.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage (AYM)

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage is a unique treatment that combines deep therapeutic massage, assisted yoga stretches, breathwork and mindful movement to improve both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Performed on a comfortable floor mat using warm Ayurvedic oils and traditional herbal powders, this treatment helps release muscular tension, improve flexibility, increase mobility and encourage better posture. The combination of massage and assisted stretches also helps calm the nervous system, making it particularly beneficial for those living with stress or chronic tension.

This treatment is ideal if you:

Experience muscular tension or stiffness

Spend long hours sitting at a desk

Want to improve flexibility and mobility

Are physically active or practise yoga

Feel stressed or overwhelmed

Want a treatment that works with both body and breath

Every session is personalised to your needs, helping you move more freely and feel deeply relaxed.

Restorative Calm Massage

Restorative Calm Massage is a slow, therapeutic full-body massage designed to reduce stress, ease muscular tension and encourage deep relaxation.

Using warm oils and flowing massage techniques on a comfortable treatment bed, this treatment helps calm the nervous system while improving circulation and allowing both body and mind to unwind.

It is particularly beneficial if you:

Feel stressed or anxious

Have poor sleep

Experience muscular tension

Need time to slow down and recharge

Want a deeply relaxing massage

This treatment leaves many clients feeling calmer, lighter and better able to cope with the demands of everyday life.

Emotional Release Massage

Emotional Release Massage is a deeply nurturing treatment that combines therapeutic bodywork with mindful awareness to support emotional wellbeing as well as physical relaxation.

Stress, anxiety, grief and difficult life experiences can often be reflected in the way we hold tension within the body. This personalised treatment uses slow, intuitive massage techniques to encourage those areas to soften, helping calm the nervous system while creating space for emotional release and deep relaxation.

Each session begins with time to discuss how you're feeling, allowing your treatment to be tailored to your individual needs.

This treatment may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing:

Stress or burnout

Anxiety or emotional overwhelm

Grief or major life changes

Feeling disconnected from yourself

Persistent physical tension linked to stress

Many clients leave feeling emotionally lighter, deeply relaxed and more connected to themselves.

Combination Therapies

Some clients benefit from combining treatments to create a more personalised wellbeing experience.

Depending on your goals, your session can include a combination of massage, Reiki Energy Healing, Crystal Therapy or a personalised yoga session. These therapies work beautifully together, supporting relaxation, reducing stress and promoting both physical and emotional wellbeing.

If you're unsure which treatment is right for you, I'm happy to recommend the most suitable combination based on how you're feeling and what you'd like to achieve.

Yoga for Wellbeing

Personalised yoga sessions and small classes designed to improve flexibility, reduce stress and help you feel more connected to your body.

Yoga is for everybody, regardless of age, experience or flexibility.

Whether you're looking to improve mobility, reduce stress, ease muscular tension or simply make time for yourself, each session is designed to help you move with confidence, breathe more deeply and leave feeling calmer than when you arrived.

At Balance & Heal, yoga is never about achieving the perfect pose. It's about working with your body, listening to what it needs and creating a practice that supports your overall wellbeing.

Personalised One-to-One Yoga

Private yoga sessions are completely tailored to you.

Following a discussion about your goals, I'll create a practice based on your experience, ability and what you'd like to achieve. Whether you're new to yoga or have an established practice, every session is adapted to your body and your pace.

One-to-one sessions can help with:

Improving flexibility and mobility

Reducing stress and anxiety

Recovering from injury (where appropriate)

You'll receive individual guidance throughout, allowing you to move safely while building confidence and awareness.

My classes offer a welcoming and supportive environment where you can slow down, move mindfully and take time away from the demands of everyday life.

Classes may include gentle movement, breathwork, relaxation and Yin Yoga, with a focus on improving flexibility, calming the nervous system and helping you leave feeling refreshed and restored.

Whether you're attending your first class or have practised for years, you'll be encouraged to work at your own pace in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a slow, deeply relaxing style of yoga where postures are held for longer periods, allowing the body to release tension gradually while encouraging stillness of both body and mind.

It's particularly beneficial for:

Stress and anxiety

Poor sleep

Tight hips and shoulders

Improving flexibility

Nervous system regulation

Emotional wellbeing

Many people describe Yin Yoga as the perfect complement to a busy lifestyle, offering space to pause, breathe and fully unwind.

A Practice That Supports You

Whether you choose a private session or join a class, my intention is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can move, breathe and reconnect with yourself.

You don't need to be flexible or experienced to begin—just willing to take the first step.

Together, we'll create a practice that supports your body, calms your mind and helps you feel stronger, more balanced and more at ease in everyday life.

Reiki Energy Healing & Training

Gentle, personalised energy healing to help you relax, restore balance and support your overall wellbeing.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that encourages deep relaxation and supports your body's natural ability to restore balance.

Using light touch or hands held just above the body, Reiki aims to calm the nervous system, ease emotional and physical tension, and create a sense of peace and wellbeing. Many people choose Reiki when they're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or simply in need of time to pause and recharge.

Every Reiki session is tailored to how you're feeling on the day, creating a calm and supportive space where you can simply relax and receive.

How Reiki May Help

Many clients choose Reiki to support:

Stress and anxiety

Emotional wellbeing

Burnout and fatigue

Relaxation and better sleep

Feeling overwhelmed

Personal growth and self-awareness

A greater sense of balance and calm

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. Some people notice warmth, tingling or deep relaxation, while others simply leave feeling lighter, calmer and more grounded.

Reiki Treatments

Reiki can be enjoyed as a standalone treatment or combined with massage, yoga or crystal therapy for a more personalised wellbeing experience.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful hour to recharge or would like Reiki incorporated into another treatment, every session is adapted to your individual needs and intentions.

Standalone treatments, you'll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment couch while gentle music plays in the background. After a brief consultation, I'll place my hands lightly on or just above different areas of your body while you simply relax. Most sessions last around an hour, and many clients leave feeling calmer, lighter and deeply rested.

Reiki Training – Level I & Level II

If you're interested in learning Reiki for yourself or sharing it with others, I offer personalised Usui Reiki Level I and Level II training in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Training is available on a one-to-one basis or in small groups, allowing plenty of time for discussion, practical experience and individual guidance.

Reiki Level I

Perfect for beginners, Reiki Level I introduces you to the principles of Reiki, self-healing and energy awareness. You'll learn how to use Reiki to support yourself, family and friends while developing confidence in your own practice.

Reiki Level II

Level II builds on your existing knowledge, introducing Reiki symbols, distance healing and more advanced techniques. It is ideal for those wishing to deepen their practice or begin offering Reiki professionally.

A Relaxed & Supportive Learning Experience

Training is available from my studio in Buntingford, Hertfordshire, and at my Norfolk retreat venue, where overnight accommodation can be included for those wishing to enjoy a more immersive learning experience.

Whether you're receiving Reiki or learning to practice it yourself, my aim is to provide a calm, welcoming environment where you feel supported every step of the way.
