45 minutes | £60 | Alma Yard Studios

Hi, I’m Ruby, a Massage Therapist based in Plymouth, Devon.

This massage session blends therapeutic massage, acupressure, and rhythmic techniques to ease tension, support circulation, and bring the nervous system into a state of deep relaxation.

This session is more than just tension relief—it is an invitation to fully surrender into deep rest, clear stagnant energy, and create space for ease and renewal.



Each alchemy-inspired massage treatment is designed to support a different stage of physical, emotional, and energetic healing. Whether you are seeking deep tissue release, nervous system regulation, or energetic recalibration, there is a session aligned with your needs.

These treatments are not about "fixing"—they are about guiding the body into balance, supporting deep release, and creating space for integration.

  • Massage therapy eases muscular tension and physical stress.

  • Energy healing clears blockages and supports emotional processing.

  • Holistic techniques (cupping, acupressure, and crystal grids) help restore flow, clarity, and alignment.

Each session is a complete experience on its own, designed to meet you exactly where you are.

You do not need to book multiple sessions or follow a set process—but if you feel called to explore a deeper journey, these treatments can also be experienced as a progression through the full alchemical cycle.

For those drawn to the full journey, a block booking option is available, offering all seven sessions at a reduced rate.

What is Facial Acupressure, Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage?

Each treatment is uniquely designed to release tightness, working with:

  • Facial Acupressure – Gentle stimulation of key points along the Chinese facial map to encourage Qi flow and balance.

  • Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage – Targeted touch to release built-up tension and improve circulation.

  • Soothing Rhythmic Techniques – Slow, intentional movements to support nervous system relaxation and reset.

This is a deeply restorative session, designed to bring you into a state of full-body calm.

Ideal for those who struggle to switch off, feel overstimulated, or need an accessible treatment that works on the entire system through facial acupressure.

Can I choose which areas to focus on?

Yes!

Every session is tailored to your needs, whether you want more focus on the jaw, scalp, shoulders, or relaxation techniques.

Will this help with TMJ, migraines, or headaches?
