Caring for people has always been at the heart of everything I do.

Caring for people has always been at the heart of everything I do.
For many years I worked as a private home carer, supporting people through some of life's most vulnerable moments. I loved being able to make someone's day a little brighter, whether that was through a chat, a helping hand or simply making them feel cared for.
It was during that time that I discovered the incredible power of therapeutic touch. I wanted to offer people something that went beyond practical care—something that allowed them to completely switch off, feel nurtured and reconnect with themselves.
Training as a massage therapist changed everything.
The more I learned, the more I saw the difference massage could make, not just to aching muscles but to stress, anxiety and overall wellbeing. Watching someone arrive feeling tense and leave looking lighter, calmer and more themselves never stops being rewarding.
Today, Autumn Sunshine Massage has grown into a business I'm incredibly proud of. I welcome women to my peaceful therapy room and also offer mobile massage for those who prefer to relax in the comfort of their own home.
Over the years, I've continued to develop my skills and now offer a range of treatments, including Deep Tissue Massage, Relaxation Massage, Holistic Massage and Menopause Massage. Every treatment is tailored to you because no two women, or their needs, are ever the same.
My aim has always been simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where you can escape the demands of everyday life and enjoy time that's just for you. Whether you're carrying tension, feeling overwhelmed, living with aches and pains or simply craving an hour to unwind, I want you to leave feeling calmer, lighter and genuinely cared for.
Massage isn't just what I do—it's something I truly love. It is a privilege to be trusted with people's wellbeing, and I feel incredibly grateful that this is the work I get to do every day.
I look forward to welcoming you.

Welcome to My Therapy Room
I’m really happy to share that, as well as offering mobile massage, I’ve now created a cosy therapy room at home. It’s a quiet, comfortable space where you can take time just for yourself, away from the busyness of everyday life.

Welcome to My Therapy Room
I’m really happy to share that, as well as offering mobile massage, I’ve now created a cosy therapy room at home. It’s a quiet, comfortable space where you can take time just for yourself, away from the busyness of everyday life.
Massage isn’t only about treating yourself — it can make a real difference to how you feel day to day. A session can ease tired muscles, help you switch off, and bring a sense of balance back to both body and mind.
In my therapy room, I offer:
Deep Tissue Massage to ease aches and tension
Relaxation Massage to help you unwind
Menopause Massage to restore energy and wellbeing
The space is warm, calming and designed to make you feel at home — soft lighting, soothing music, and a peaceful atmosphere where you can really relax.
You can now choose what suits you best:
Come and enjoy the calm of my home therapy room
Or let me bring the massage to you with my mobile service
Whichever you choose, the focus is the same: helping you feel better, move more freely, and take a little time for yourself.

Menopause is not just a moment — it’s a transition.
And for many women, it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and unfamiliar.
Perimenopause and menopause can bring disrupted sleep, anxiety, muscle and joint aches, tension, mood changes, and a sense of feeling “not quite yourself.”

Menopause is not just a moment — it’s a transition.
And for many women, it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and unfamiliar.
Perimenopause and menopause can bring disrupted sleep, anxiety, muscle and joint aches, tension, mood changes, and a sense of feeling “not quite yourself.”
Menopause Massage is a specialist treatment designed to gently support your body and nervous system during this stage of life.
This is a slower, nurturing massage tailored to how you are feeling on the day. It may help to:
Calm the nervous system and reduce stress
Ease muscular tension and joint discomfort
Support better rest and relaxation
Create space to breathe and reset
Help you feel more grounded in your body
Each session is personalised and offered in a safe, understanding environment. There is time to check in, adjust pressure, and respond to what your body needs — without rushing.
This treatment works beautifully alongside medical support, lifestyle changes, and self-care practices.
You are not broken.
You are transitioning.
And you deserve care that understands that.

Experience the ultimate in muscle relief with my Full Body Deep Tissue Massage, designed to target deep layers of muscle and connective tissue to release tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. This treatment is perfect for individuals experiencing chronic muscle tightness, postural imbalances, or recovering from physical activity.
I will apply slow, firm pressure and specialised techniques to break up adhesions, release deep-seated knots, and restore natural movement. Unlike a relaxation massage, this therapy focuses on deeper muscle structures, making it ideal for those who need more than just a light touch.
Benefits of Full Body Deep Tissue Massage:
- Alleviates chronic muscle tension and stiffness
- Improves posture and flexibility
- Aids in recovery from workouts or injuries
- Enhances circulation and promotes healing
- Reduces stress and mental fatigue.
Each session is customised to your needs, ensuring the right balance between therapeutic pressure and relaxation. While deep tissue techniques can be intense, I will adjust the pressure to your comfort level for a beneficial and effective experience.
Book your Full Body Deep Tissue Massage today and take the first step toward lasting relief, improved mobility, and total body wellness.
Note: Some post-massage soreness is normal as your muscles release built-up tension. Staying hydrated and stretching after your session can help maximise the benefits.
