Mellow Massage

Overtheway, Potters Way, Godshill, Fordingbridge Massage service

Total relaxation through massage in the New Forest Usually I give a 2 hour treatment for the price below. Please feel free to contact me for a chat. Barry.

Professional massage therapy in unique surroundings to ease tight muscles, relieve the stresses of modern life, or just for the pleasure of being pampered. I'm trained and qualified in Swedish, hot stones and Indian head massage, and an insured member of the Guild of Holistic Therapists. I like to use deep strokes which release muscle tension and knots, then continue with gentler relaxation, but it is your massage so please let me know what you’d like. Full body massage £40
Hot stones massage £45
Sauna prior to massage £10

You'll have a very different experience to the typical salon or spa; less clinical, more thorough with more time spent on troublesome areas and much more relaxing. Where else will you get a massage by the warmth of a wood burning stove? Most importantly, you'll have a lovely massage and come away feeling energised, relaxed and thoroughly pampered, having had my full attention and energy concentrated just on you for the whole time. It is natural that some ladies feel apprehensive about having a massage from a man but please be assured that I'm a genuine holistic therapist and happily married. Sorry guys, this is a therapeutic service for ladies. I don't massage men that I don't know. www.facebook.com/barry.deakin2

Autumn's chill is here, and the evenings are dark, but there's a warm and cosy welcome at the end of our garden. What better way is there to relax, than with a couple of hours of blissful massage in a safe and nurturing environment, to ease muscular or emotional tensions and stress?
I have 18 years of experience and provide two hours of professional full body massage for just £50. Take time to escape from the pressures of life and treat yourself to some maintenance for body and mind. A unique massage space, a different experience and hopefully one to bring calm, total relaxation and deep healing.
For more information on my approach to therapy, comments and wonderful reviews, please see my website or Google business page.
Appointments are available for empty evenings, dreary days and wet weekends.
Barry.

Keeping my hands busy on days with no massage clients. A nice little commission here for collection today. Two plates & two Buddha bowls requested by a friend, and turned in Ash which I felled some years ago in our own woodland. Seventy five year old trees turned into kitchenware that I hope will last her many more years. Very satisfying.

Are you feeling tired, deflated, drained, in need of attention and regeneration? Our energy levels can be very low in a spell of hot weather, but we can be lifted up and glow again. Maybe a little time in a nurturing environment, with empathy and a caring touch will bring life and energy back for you. Reawaken your senses, see the world in full colour, and feel alive again. Let your spirit soar, you can bloom again!

Come for relaxation and recovery. For enlivenment and energising. Whatever your mind and body need can be found in a caring, sensitive massage, tailored to your needs.

Too hot to do anything? Come and do nothing!
My massage room is shaded from the sun's rays and stays a very comfortable temperature during a summer heatwave. Whilst I use the woodburning stove for most massages, on these very hot days it doesn't need to be lit. You'll be comfortable and calm and I'll do all the work to take away tensions from mind and body. Total relaxation is always the aim and, hopefully, you'll leave feeling taller, calmer, grounded and more supple than when you arrived.
There's a shower in the cabin so, if you need to freshen up before or after a treatment that's available and free for you to use.
I have availability during the evenings and weekends too, so please contact me to make an appointment or discuss your needs.
Just £50 for 2 hours of massage. Treat yourself to some tactile therapy.
Barry.

Cloudy and rainy summer days, when you're not inspired to do much outdoors, are perfect for a massage. I have some availability over the next 10 days, and will be happy to find time for you, to deliver a totally relaxing, holistic massage, tailored to suit your needs. Two hours of therapy in a calm space, where you can forget your troubles and stress of life, just switch off, breathe out and let your body relax.

The approach to my massage room is lovely, even in the rain, and the room itself is always warm and calming, whatever the weather.

A very different experience to most salons and spas. Warmer, longer, more thorough, more specific to your needs and more affordable at just £50. I keep the cost low because those who need therapy the most are those who can least afford it, and I really want to help those most in need. I hope to hear from you,
Barry.

What kind of touch are your body & mind need of?

From experience, you might know exactly what works for you, and of course I'm happy to be guided and deliver whatever is requested.

Usually, of course, the type of touch requested is what might be expected to ease muscular tension. Many believe that deep manipulation and pain are beneficial: "No pain, no gain." is frequently assumed. I prefer not to inflict pain because I find that it can increase tension as the receiver protects against it, perhaps involuntarily. Warmth, time, and gentle manipulation can achieve great results and be much more pleasurable than deeper pressure from thumbs, knuckles or elbows.

You might never have received a two hour massage, where the time allows for a more subtle approach. It can bring surprising results for the muscles, stress levels and emotions.

A client once started crying uncontrollably at an early stage of her massage. I said that I was happy to listen if she wanted to talk about what was wrong, but not of course if it was too personal. She said "It's just that I've never been touched with such kindness by a man, without feeling that he expected something in return." I sensed that she was in need of a caring, sensitive touch but perhaps she wasn't expecting it, or was surprised that it should have such a profound effect.

If you would like to explore the benefits of a warmer environment, longer treatment, and the attention of someone who is unlikely to have another client in the same day, please contact me to make an appointment or discuss your needs.

£50 for two hours of professional treatment is a price that, I hope, you'll be able to afford and, afterwards, will feel was excellent value.

When my hands aren't providing massage therapy, they are often engaged in woodturning or other creative activities. Here are some wooden bowls turned from logs that I salvaged from a Yew tree felled in a local garden. Who would guess at the beauty within, when looking at the exterior of a Yew tree?
When a client comes to me for treatment I look for the beauty within, and try to bring that out in an attempt to create a sense of positivity to the session that will continue to be felt afterwards.
Your body may feel tired or painful, your emotions might be strained, you might be under stress from work, financial or family struggles, so it's understandable that negativity can dominate, and your own sense of beauty hard to find.
Come and let me try to help, with touch, perhaps an understanding ear, and connecting to find that beauty. Let's bring some positive energy back to improve your posture, confidence, and self-worth. Let's bring out your inner beauty.

On one of these dreary, cold and wet days, or dark evenings, you might like to spend a couple of hours in a cosy wooden cabin, relaxing with some good music, by candlelight, beside a toasty woodburning stove. As a bonus, you could have perhaps the best massage ever.
Forget what you've experienced before, in high street salons or exclusive spas. My approach is different and I'm confident that you'll appreciate the longer time, the more detailed attention to any problem areas, and the total body relaxation that I strive to provide.
My charge of just £50 for 2 hours is very low because I don't want to exclude those with little money to spare, as they're probably the ones who need therapy the most. Existing customers will notice that I've increased my charge, but only after many years at the same price.
Whether you're suffering with muscular pains, emotional turmoil, or stress from life's problems, a long, caring massage can have amazing effects, and I really hope I can help.
I've been providing professional therapy for over 15 years, but if you're unsure, please see the feedback on my website or my profile on Google-maps. You'll find a lot more information there.
Please contact me if you'd like to make an appointment or discuss a treatment.
Barry.

It's an honour when a lady puts her trust in you!

18/06/2025

I enjoy this warm summer weather very much, particularly as I like to be active outdoors. It can be draining though, especially if you're stuck indoors for much of the time. Most people are looking for relaxation through massage, and I certainly guarantee that, but it can also help to overcome lethargy and stimulate vitality.

My massages are different to most, being longer, more detailed in addressing problems, and delivered in a uniquely calm environment. Two hours is usual, so there is time to release muscular tension and emotional blockages, re-energise and bring colour back to your world, and still have time to achieve total relaxation of body and mind.

I have 15 years of professional experience and have received many heart-warming comments and reviews, as you'll find here on my page or on my website or Google business page.

I'm a firm believer that the people who are most in need of therapy are those who can least afford it, and my charge of just £40 for a full body massage reflects that. You might feel that I undercharge, in which case I'll happily accept your words of appreciation, or an adjustment to the price if you feel it is justified.

I rarely deliver more than one massage a day, and can be available on weekdays and weekends, with evenings being ideal in this warm weather, but at whatever time suits your schedule.

Barry.
