Hannah from The Soul Shack blends essential oils and massage techniques to create a holistic massage that works with your body, not against it. Whether it's sore legs from walking, back trouble from camping, lack of sleep, a muddled brain, a need for relaxation, none or all of the above, Hannah will be working from a beautiful bell tent onsite to sooth the body, quiet the mind and help you find some space. 

30 mins: £40

Hour: £55

90 mins: £90

A 50% deposit will be taken at the time of booking to confirm the appointment. Deposits are non-refundable though every effort will be made to reschedule the booking if necessary.
