Give yourself space to slow down and reconnect with your own rhythm.
Trauma-sensitive massage for those who crave gentleness, calm and deep rest for both mind & body.
WHEN LIFE FEELS TOO MUCH, AND YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO SLOW DOWN…
You crave a gentler pace in a world that never stops moving.
You sneak away for moments of quiet, hoping they’ll be enough to restore you, but five minutes here and ten minutes there barely scratch the surface.
Stress and anxiety are making it harder to keep up the ‘I’m fine’ performance.
And while breathwork, stretching, and meditation used to help, lately even those feel like just another thing to do.
If you know you need slow, grounding, safe touch but struggle to find that in a fast-paced world, this space is for you.
This is your place to pause, to feel deeply, and to be held—gently, fully, and without needing to explain yourself.
FIND YOUR CALM IN SELLY OAK
In my cosy treatment room, everything slows down.
There’s no rush, no pressure to perform or explain. Just time, intention and space for your body and nervous system to begin softening.
Each session is tailored to you—not just your tense and aching muscles, but your whole being.
I work gently and intuitively, with deep respect for your body’s pace. We move slowly, using safe, intentional touch to invite your system into a place of rest and regulation.
This is trauma-sensitive massage for those who carry a lot, those who feel deeply, those who are quietly overwhelmed, and those who need somewhere soft to land.
Together, we create space for relaxation, reconnection, and real, lasting calm.
Hi! I'm Karen.I’m a trauma-sensitive, holistic massage therapist creating a sanctuary for people who feel deeply and move gently.
I know how exhausting it is to hold everything together—to push through stress, stay strong for others, and ignore the quiet signals from your body asking for rest.
I’ve been there too, and it’s why I created Mind-Body Calm to offer more than just massage.
This is a space where you can soften, be cared for, and feel supported without having to justify taking time out.
My approach is slow, intentional and attuned to your needs in the moment.
You set the pace. I listen with presence and offer touch that feels grounding.
If you’re looking for care that goes deeper than muscles, something that supports your mind and body, you’re in the right place.
No two people are the same on any given day, and neither are my sessions, because you deserve care that meets you where you are.

Before Your First Session
If you’re booking with me for the first time, you’ll be asked to complete a short online consultation form before your appointment.
It’s not just admin—it’s part of how I support you with care and intention. The form gives you space to share anything you’d like me to know ahead of time: your needs, preferences, concerns, or anything personal that might shape how we work together.
This helps me prepare for your session in a way that’s thoughtful, grounded, and unique to you, and it also helps ensure this space remains safe and respectful for everyone I work with.
If you ever feel unsure about what to include, just know: there are no wrong answers. You can say as much or as little as you like.
During Your Session
We begin with a gentle check-in—How are you feeling today? What are you noticing in your body?
These questions help me understand where you are in the moment so we can shape the session around what you truly need.
I listen with presence, respond intuitively and offer support in a way that honours your body and nervous system.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s slow, safe, and shaped entirely around your comfort.You choose what feels right for your body.
Whether that means undressing fully, partially or staying clothed, we’ll move at a pace and level that feels respectful and grounding for you.
There’s no pressure to talk, but space to share if it feels right.
My treatments are designed to give you exactly what you need—even if you’re not sure what that is. We focus on quieting your mind, softening your body and slowing everything down.

We’ll take a moment to gently close the session.
You’re welcome to share anything that came up for you, but only if it feels right. Maybe you noticed something physically, emotionally or energetically. But, there’s no pressure to talk.I’ll offer simple, supportive aftercare to take with you, because while one session can bring relief, lasting change comes with ongoing support.
If it feels like the right time, we can talk about what a follow-up session might look like or get your next booking in the diary. You’re always in control of the pace and the plan.
This is about creating calm not just for today, but as something you can return to again and again.
-
A day or two after your session, I’ll send you a follow-up email.
It’s a gentle check-in just to see how you’re doing, answer any of your questions, and remind you of your aftercare in case it slipped your mind in that lovely post-treatment glow.
If anything came up that you want to talk about, or if you’d like to rebook, you’ll have a direct way to reach me when it feels right.
It’s all part of holding space for you, even after you’ve left the treatment room.
You may arrive feeling weary, worried and weighed down. But here, you can step away from the demands of the outside world, pause, reconnect with yourself, and feel truly nurtured and supported in the way you’ve been longing for.
Settle in and be gently guided back to a place of calm, balance and deep reconnection.
If your nervous system is saying yes, even in a whisper, I’d love to welcome you.
Life can feel OVERWHELMING…
But the truth is, you’re allowed to slow down.
