Well Women Massage
Massage for women with real lives and tired bodies.

A calm, cosy space in Gosport for women who are carrying a lot, stress, tension, responsibilities and need somewhere to put it all down for a while.

For the women who do it all (and feel it everywhere)

You’re juggling work, family, hormones, headaches, and the invisible to-do list that never seems to end.
Those shoulders live somewhere near your ears.
and the lower back is permanently muttering.
Maybe your nervous system is slightly frazzled.

Well Women Massage is designed for women in midlife who are:

  • Feeling tight, tense, and “held together with willpower and coffee”
  • Navigating perimenopause or hormone shifts and craving calm
  • Lifting, carrying and caring for everyone else and forgetting their own body
  • Wanting a space that feels safe, private, and for them – not a big intimidating spa, gyms. or clinics.

This is your moment relax and take care of your body, without guilt or “shoulds”.

More than “just a nice treat”

Well Women Massage is part of a bigger picture: helping you to feel good about yourself.

No body shame, ever: This is a weight-neutral, judgement-free zone. Your body is welcome exactly as it is.

Women-focused: Everything is tailored to women’s bodies, hormones, and real lives.

Private studio: No busy changing rooms, no being rushed in and out. Just you, me, and a calm space.

Blending science + softness: I combine sports massage techniques with gentle, nervous-system-friendly touch so you leave feeling like you can breathe again.

Treatment Options

Restore Massage – Relax & Rebalance

For when your shoulders, jaw and mind are all clenched at once.

A slower, soothing treatment uses calming essential oils and intentional touch. This helps your body soften. It also allows your nervous system to unwind.
Perfect if you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or “wired but tired”.

Great for:

Overthinking and poor sleep

Stress and tension

Headaches and neck/shoulder tightness

Reset Massage – Release & Recover

For tight backs, overworked hips, and muscles that need focused attention.

A deeper, more targeted massage uses sports massage techniques. These techniques release tension. They improve movement and support recovery from day-to-day life, not just workouts.

Great for:

Soreness from training, walking, or busy active days

Back, Legs and Hip tightness

Desk posture or “phone neck”

What happens in a session

From the moment you walk in, the focus is on making you feel safe, welcome and un-rushed.

  1. Quick check-in: We’ll chat about how you’re feeling. Let me know about any injuries or areas you’d like me to focus on. Tell me what you want from the session (deep release, gentle calm, or a mix).
  2. Set up & settle: You’ll have privacy to get ready and get comfortable on the couch. You’re always covered with towels and blankets except for the area I’m working on.
  3. Personalised massage: I’ll work with your body, not against it. I will adjust pressure and talk you through anything that needs explanation. I will also check in on comfort.
  4. Calm finish: No being hurried out the door. You’ll have a moment to come back to yourself, sip some water, and ask any questions.
  5. Aftercare you can actually do: Simple, realistic aftercare tips that fit your life. Not a long list of “shoulds” you’ll forget by the time you get home.

Your body, your boundaries, your pace. You’re in charge the whole way through.

Who’s behind Well Women Massage?

Hi, I’m Julie – wellbeing coach, personal trainer and sports massage therapist.

I work with women who are finished with punishing workouts. They are done with all-or-nothing health kicks. They no longer feel like their body is a problem to be fixed.

Massage, for me, is not “just a treat.” It’s care. It’s nervous system support. It’s giving your body a say in a life that’s usually very loud.

Alongside massage, I run the Well Women personal training program. I also run Healthy Made Easy, my online course. Both are built around the same idea: simple, sustainable health that fits your real life.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be fit or flexible to come for a massage?
Not at all. Massage is for every body. You don’t need to “prepare” or look a certain way.

I feel self-conscious about my body. Is that okay?
100%. Many of the women I work with feel this way at first. You’ll always be covered with towels, and I only uncover the area I’m working on. This is a no-judgement, weight-neutral space.

What should I wear?
Wear whatever’s comfortable. For most treatments you’ll undress to your underwear, but we’ll always work with what you’re comfortable with.

Can I talk during the massage?
Yes! Some women like to chat, others prefer quiet. There’s no right or wrong. This is your time.

How often should I come?
That depends on your body and your life. Some women come monthly for maintenance, others schedule sessions around busy seasons, stress, or training. We’ll chat about what makes sense for you.

Ready to feel a little less tense and a lot more you?

Whether you need deep release, gentle calm, or a bit of both, Well Women Massage provides a space to breathe. It allows you to reset. You can reconnect with your body.
