Darren is a brilliant help with my son and his growing up teenagery aches and pains. He’s very kind and absolutely knows his stuff! We recommend.

🅝 Nura
Absolutely incredible at home massage. I can't believe how much tension I held in different parts of my body until today, felt so relaxed after and able to move freely. Darren is very professional and caring, I highly recommend getting booked in. Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable throughout and for booking me in at short notice. Darren is so talented and amazing at what he does 🙏🏼

🅙 Jane
Thank you SO much for the massage. It was AMAZING! I felt very at ease in your hands. I literally have no tension in my body and it set me up really well for a good night’s sleep! Loved the technique, it was very different, which was very refreshing. I felt safe as you worked the neck. Pressure and pace was good. The technique was precise and considerate, being carried out mindfully. And I can tell that you enjoy your work. The whole experience was professional.

🅗 Hasty
It was my first time booking a massage at home. Darren responded quickly, and it was very easy to book an appointement. He was able to see me within a couple of hours so I greatly appreciate that. Darren is friendly and professional. I enjoyed the head to toe massage and my shoulder pain feels better. I hope to book another massage with him soon hopefully just to relax this time rather than for any pain.

🅢 Samuel
Contacted Darren after a particularly busy week at work that had left me feeling physically and emotionally exhausted. Darren radiates warmth and compassion, I felt completely at ease under his hands – and had 11 hours sleep afterwards!

🅜 Melanie
I found Darren's website online and booked him to do a massage as birthday present for a close friend who is also a massage therapist, and is therefore a very discerning client. She has been singing his praises ever since! She said he found every single knot, wasn't afraid to use deep pressure where she needed it, checked in regularly and even added a birthday song to her massage playlist. He also moved things around last minute to fit around her care role and work commitments. Thank you so much Darren

🅜 Matt
Darren was a genuine, courteous guy who gave a phenomenal massage! Came to my home, promptly & set up professionally. He found areas that needed working that I wasn’t even aware of! Felt so relaxed afterwards, body was like jelly, but in a good way!

🅣 Tim
Can’t recommend Darren enough. His regular massage has cleared niggling pains from past injuries, relieved tension and soreness, and leave me feel both relaxed and invigorated.

🅐 Anna
After the massage I was floating. Ten out of ten! The pressure was perfect and he knew exactly when an area was complete before moving onto the next. I’ve had a lot of massages and this one was up there. I felt totally energised and relaxed from head to toe. And my shoulders felt like they had lowered.

🅡 Reiss
Lovely guy and a great massage therapist…He made sure I was comfortable and safe throughout the session.

🅒 Craig
Explained my issues and problem areas at the outset and Darren knew exactly how to address them. Feeling so much better as a result. Re-booked already and would highly recommend.

To help you feel at ease

Before the massage

You’ll stay comfortably in your underwear. I use professional draping throughout the massage so you’re always securely covered and feel completely safe, respected and at ease.

Yes — please provide three large towels and one small towel. These are used on the massage table and for comfortable, professional draping.

I use almond oil and essential oils, which can be adjusted to your preference.

A clear area of around 2m x 3m is ideal. Most living rooms or bedrooms are perfectly suitable.

Yes — hotel visits are absolutely fine. I bring the equipment, and the process is exactly the same as a home session.

Yes — I travel across Nottingham and surrounding areas (see the list further up this page). If you’re unsure, just send a quick WhatsApp message.

Seven days a week, 8am–9pm — including same-day appointments.

Each session is 75 or 90 minutes. I don’t charge extra if we run slightly over — we’re not governed by the clock, but by making sure the work you need is done properly.

My standard treatment is the 75-minute Signature Massage — this length gives enough time for a full, balanced session without feeling rushed. You’re welcome to have a shorter massage or skip certain areas if you prefer.

If you’d like a longer, more calming session, I offer a Deep Relaxation Upgrade, which extends the duration to 90 minutes and allows extra time to slow the pace and finish the session in a deeply relaxed state.

The Signature Massage is £65, or £80 with the Deep Relaxation Upgrade.

Payment is made after the session, either by bank transfer or cash.

During the massage

Yes — the pressure is fully adjusted to your preference, from relaxing and gentle through to strong, deep and focused.

Yes — the treatment is always professional, respectful and guided by your consent. I have many 5⭐ reviews from Nottingham clients.

Yes — my massage is fully therapeutic, focused entirely on comfort, relaxation and wellbeing. I work with clear professional boundaries so you can feel completely at ease throughout your session. My service is dedicated solely to high-quality therapeutic care.

Yes, you’ll be comfortable. It’s normal for some people to feel a little self-conscious. Towels are used for draping, and the atmosphere is calm, supportive and non-judgemental.

It’s entirely up to you. Some clients prefer quiet; others chat a little. I follow your preference.

Yes — calming background music is available, or we can do the session in complete silence if you prefer.

Safety, qualifications & who I work with

Usually yes — massage can help with tension, stiffness, mobility and stress. I can discuss any health issues with you when we chat on the phone before the session to make sure everything’s good.

I’m qualified to Diploma Level 3 in Body Massage and fully insured. My training is recognised by mainstream UK massage organisations.

Yes — I regularly work with both men and women, as well as couples.

Yes – I do massage pregnant women, with appropriate adjustments for comfort and safety.

Many women find massage during pregnancy deeply comforting and relaxing, helping to ease back, hip and shoulder tension, reduce stress, and support better rest.

Massage is suitable for low-risk pregnancies only, and sessions are adapted using gentle techniques and supportive positioning.

I offer pregnancy massage up to around 36 weeks, provided there are no complications and you’re feeling well.

Yes — I can provide back-to-back sessions for couples, partners or friends.

Yes — I offer personalised massage gift vouchers, and they’re always warmly received. The recipient gets a tailored 75-minute home massage, and you can even add a personal message or request a special song to finish their playlist. I take care of sending the voucher and arranging their session at a time that suits them. I also offer couples or family massages during the same visit if you’d like to treat more than one person. Just send me a quick message and I’ll set everything up for you.

After the massage

Most people feel deeply relaxed, loose and calm — many report better sleep, reduced tension and improved mobility. Clients often mention many more benefits in their reviews.

Sometimes, especially if deep or focused work was done, you may feel moderate soreness the next day. This is normal and settles within 24–48 hours.

Understanding massage

Our bodies are designed for lots of regular, varied movement — walking, stretching, bending, carrying and changing position throughout the day.

Modern life often limits this. Long hours sitting, repetitive tasks, screens, driving and ongoing mental stress encourage the body to hold itself still and “brace” for support.

Over time, muscles stay subtly switched on, especially in the shoulders, back, hips and inner thighs, and tension becomes the norm rather than the exception.

Massage helps by gently reminding the body how to soften and release, restoring ease, movement and a deeper sense of relaxation.

Massage increases blood circulation, relaxes tight muscles, reduces nervous-system stress and improves mobility. It also enhances lymphatic flow, eases tension build-up and supports natural recovery — leaving you feeling looser, lighter and more balanced.

Massage helps treat sports-related aches and strains by reducing muscle tightness, improving circulation, and supporting recovery. This can ease discomfort and help restore normal movement after training or injury.

Regular massage also helps prevent injury by keeping muscles and joints supple, reducing imbalances, and lowering the risk of strain from repetitive activity.

For ongoing maintenance and performance, massage supports faster recovery, smoother movement, and more consistent training — helping your body cope better with physical demands over time.
