Massage and pregnancy massage in Edinburgh
If you are stressed, burnt out, tense, emotionally exhausted, or looking for massage as a regular self-care practice, I offer a safe space for you to recharge and reconnect with your body. For pregnant clients, I offer wonderfully comfortable side-lying massage
I offer a tailored blend of deep tissue massage with other techniques including stretching, acupressure, compression and gentle holding to help you rebalance your mind, body and spirit. Massage can help ease the symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleeplessness.
No two massages are the same. I use an intuitive approach based on accepting and welcoming you as you are on the day, and working to give you what you most want and need from the session.
About me
I am a holistic massage therapist, qualified with Jing Advanced Massage Training. I have also completed a course in Injury Prevention Through Handsfree Massage and workshops in Table Thai Massage and Myofascial Release for Scar Tissue.
Before coming to massage I worked in playful approaches to education, and through massage I try to help clients connect with their bodies in a looser, more playful way for more natural, unrestricted movement. I’m fascinated by how the body is constantly learning about itself and adjusting and how bodywork can help this process unfold. It’s fascinating – if you’re curious, ask me!
The most special part of massage for me is feeling the connection with my clients and using my knowledge and intuition to deliver what they most need in that moment. I also love seeing the goofy, relaxed smiles on clients’ faces after a good massage!

Testimonials
I had such a wonderful experience with Jo. My massage left me feeling relaxed and nourished, I could feel the tension and stress releasing from my body. Jo was warm and attentive to my comfort in a way that put me at ease. I can thoroughly recommend her and look forward to booking in with her again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have had several massages from Jo over the years. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A very considered and compassionate massage therapist. Most recent massage was today, focusing on head and back. Feel amazing! I have got a degree of energy back that I haven’t had for a while.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jo is incredible, I had my first appointment with her and she came across as very caring and calming – she checked in with me and suggested a few options, we agreed on a deep pressure massage and it felt incredibly relaxing 🙏 can’t wait for my next one, thank you so much.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Such a great massage with Jo. My back and neck are feeling stretched and loose after a stressful few weeks and the knots have melted away. Looking forward to my next visit.
