About Us
Ayurveda is "the science of life", an ancient and natural healthcare tradition originating in India over 5,000 years ago.
It gives us the knowledge of how to live in harmony with our bodies for a healthy, happy, stress-free life. This natural system uses various methods, including massage and nutrition, to balance the whole being: the physical body, mind, emotions and sprit.
Holistic Deep tissue and Ayurvedic massage
Therapist Loretta Heywood offers treatments that differ from other massages as they work not only on the deeper muscles but by calming the nervous system and revitalising the body’s energy. This means that tension and stress that has been long held within the body and mind is released, promoting relaxation at a much deeper level and facilitating relief from pain. (See Combined Massage Therapy page.)
The ailments most helped by massage are: physical pain (legs, back, neck and shoulders), insomnia, anxiety, deep-set muscular tension, headaches and emotional stress. All treatments are personalised and follow a short consultation to assess your needs.
Personalised detox plans
Loretta offers holistic detox plans (see below) based on the traditional cleansing principles of Panchakarma, and adapted so they are easy to incorporate into a busy city lifestyle. These plans give not only a physical release of toxins, but help you regain control of your life, your weight and your eating habits. The programmes can include massage, Loretta’s main treatment for relaxation and detoxification. Many clients say their detox has given them a sense of achievement and motivation, helping them regain awareness and balance on many levels.
Loretta’s personal approach to people will welcome you to the world of Ayurveda in an “easy to grasp” way .If a detox is not what is needed at this point in time then a Diet and lifestyle consultation is usually suggested to look at any health problems or emotional issues you may have.
Loretta Heywood, Ayurvedic consultant and bodywork therapist
Since 2003 Loretta has provided massage, detoxification, lifestyle, emotional and nutritional advice and healing therapies in West London. The effective results of these therapies and fully personalised treatments have kept clients coming back for more.
Her treatments combine traditional Ayurveda with a western approach, treating the mind and body according to both your dosha (constitution) and your modern lifestyle. Her specialised techniques and healing abilities remove stress from both body and mind. She works from the heart, using Ayurvedic wisdom, and her own intuitive ability to sense where the root of the problem may lie. This helps promote a change in thought patterns and behaviours to stimulate positive emotions, health and balance.
Loretta works from clinics in Notting Hill, privately, or at your home.
Massage Therapies
Muscular tension is due to a build-up of toxins, overwork (RSI), stress and lactic acid. Massage breaks down the effects of this in the muscles, to relieve pain and revitalise the body.
"When the mind is calm and the body pain free, we are able to make healthier choices. when we feel healthy and relaxed, we gain control of our lives and suffer less from pain."

Over a course of treatments, people find they sleep better and their anxiety level drops. Loretta Heywood uses her combination of Ayurvedic knowledge, intuition and eight years' experience as a therapist to leave you feeling relaxed, revitalised, in less pain, less stressed, and more in touch with yourself.
For long-term health benefits a course of massage is needed. The first treatment will ease muscular tension and stiffness, but it is the subsequent treatments that allow the more deeply-held tension and toxins to be released. Discounts are given for courses.
What differentiates Ayurvedic massage from other massages is that it has a profound and lasting healing effect on the entire cellular structure of the body. Only after an assessment of the physical, mental and emotional health of the client can the massage begin. It is prescriptive and tailored to the individual. It works not only on the muscles but calming on the nervous system. By doing this, tension and stress that has long been held within the body and mind is released, promoting relaxation at a much deeper level than usual and facilitating release from pain. (Please add an extra ten minutes to the stated appointment length, for this assessment.) (Ayurvedic therapies)
If you have not experienced an Ayurvedic massage, the Combined Massage Therapy (holistic deep tissue massage) is recommended to start with.
