Massage Therapy at Origin Wellbeing
Restoration Through Conscious Touch
At Origin Wellbeing, Michael believes in the ancient, instinctive wisdom of the human body, reconnecting with our natural rhythms, desires, and deepest needs through grounding medicine of mindful human touch.
My practice centers on therapeutic massage, natures powerful pathway to release held tension, calm restless minds, and awaken your body's innate vitality. Each session invites you to soften into presence, surrender to sensation, and reclaim the natural flow of energy that modern life often disrupts.
With a diploma in Swedish Body Massage and years of intuitive practice, I tailor every treatment to your body's unique language, adjusting pressure, pace, and focus as we build trust over time.
Sessions unfold in The Pod, a tranquil sanctuary designed for deep surrender and renewal. Regular work together allows for increasingly personalised depth, fostering emotional release, clarity, and lasting wellbeing.
Massage here is more than relaxation, it's a return to what your body instinctively craves: conscious, flowing touch that eases stress, improves sleep, boosts energy, strengthens immunity, and supports digestion.
Combine it with hypnotherapy for profound subconscious shifts, or enjoy it standalone as sacred self-care.
Gift vouchers are available. Perfect for inviting someone special into this primal space of healing.

The Complete Surrender Massage - 180 mins - £200
This massage is for existing clients and by invitation only. For clients who have developed a deep trust with me through prior sessions. This is no ordinary massage, this is a pilgrimage of restorative, connective bodywork, a chance to descend into liberating depths of presence, vulnerability and spiritual rebirth. This incredible 3 hour massage will leave you in a state of complete bliss. With the extra time taken for this massage will give your body time to become receptive, a crucial milestone in being able to completely surrender to the experience.
I would like to thank Michael for one the best massages I have ever had. I really appreciate his professional attitude and the time he takes to understand his client’s needs.
His technique is extraordinary and I was also given feedback post-massage including tips on how to stretch and look after myself to get the most from the treatment.
The space is beautifully decorated, calming and I felt very relaxed the entire time. Exactly what I needed after a few stressful weeks at work - Martina
Such a lovely atmosphere in the massage room and I felt totally safe and able to completely relax. The massage felt like a 'proper' massage and I would highly recommend Michael to anyone.
Something I always look forward to! Michael is so easy to talk to and he really listens. I've been going to him for 6 months now and he knows where I hold my stress and always helps to release it. Meaning I always come out feeling as light as a cloud physically and mentally.
Michael is always just so good at what he does. He really takes the time to listen and target areas you need. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my regular massage.
Amazing massage today thank you so much Michael, just what I needed. Such a variety of movements from firm to relaxing it was literally amazing. He seemed to know exactly what was needed, it was all so lovely 🙏🏼

Massage FAQs
What happens during a massage?
When you arrive, Michael will guide you to the massage room and explain the process step-by-step, ensuring you're comfortable with the techniques that will be used. If it's your first time, you'll complete a brief medical form for insurance purposes. Before starting, Michael will discuss any areas of tension or discomfort so he can tailor the session to meet your needs.
How early should I arrive for my massage?
New clients are asked to arrive 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork and meet with Michael before the session begins. Returning clients can arrive 5 minutes prior to their appointment.
Do I need to be completely undressed?
You should undress to the level that feels most comfortable for you. For a full body massage, many clients choose to undress completely, but it's perfectly fine to leave your underwear on if that’s your preference. Michael will work around your clothing as best as he can. He will step out of the room to give you privacy to undress and get comfortable on the table.
Will I be covered the entire time?
Yes, your modesty is always respected. Once you are on the table, Michael will ensure you are covered with a drape and will only uncover the part of your body he is working on. If he needs to access the abdomen, a second sheet will be used to cover the chest area, ensuring complete comfort and privacy.
Can I choose areas not to be massaged?
Absolutely. You are in control of your massage experience. If there are any areas you do not want massaged—whether it's due to sensitivity or personal preference—simply let Michael know during your pre-massage discussion. Your comfort is the top priority.
What should I do during the massage?
Make yourself as comfortable as possible. If adjustments need to be made to your position, Michael will guide you or ask you to adjust yourself. Many clients prefer to relax with their eyes closed, while others enjoy chatting. It's entirely up to you. Just remember, this is your time to unwind and enjoy the experience.
Can I talk during my session?
Yes, feel free to talk if you’d like to. Some clients find it relaxing to chat at the beginning of the session and then naturally drift into a quieter, more relaxed state as the massage progresses. If you feel too warm or cold, need the pressure adjusted, or if something doesn't feel quite right, don’t hesitate to speak up—your comfort is important.
Will the massage hurt?
Massage should never be painful. A deep tissue massage may involve some discomfort, but it should always stay within the "feels good" range. If the pressure feels too intense or uncomfortable, let Michael know, and he will adjust accordingly. Remember, pain can cause your muscles to tense up, which may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Always communicate with Michael so that the experience remains relaxing.
How often should I get a massage?
It really depends on your personal needs. For occasional relaxation, a session every 2-4 weeks may be sufficient. However, if you’re addressing specific muscular issues or conditions, more frequent sessions may be beneficial at first, followed by a maintenance schedule. Michael will be happy to discuss the best approach for your needs after your initial session.
How will I feel after my massage?
After your session, most clients feel deeply relaxed and may experience a noticeable reduction in aches and pains. Some people feel a bit slower for a short time but then notice a boost in energy, focus, and productivity that can last for days. If you received a deep massage, you might feel slightly sore the next day, similar to the sensation after a good workout. A warm shower or bath can help alleviate this.
Be sure to drink plenty of water after your massage to keep your muscles hydrated and aid the recovery process. Just a couple of extra glasses will help.
