Benefits of relaxation massage
A quiet session with time to unwind and pressure adjusted to your comfort.
Time to unwind
Enjoy time away from daily demands. Experiences vary, and we do not promise a specific change in stress hormones.
Improves Sleep Quality
By activating your parasympathetic nervous system, relaxation massage helps your body shift into "rest and restore" mode. Many of our clients report their best night's sleep follows a session with us.
Eases Muscle Tension
Even without the deep pressure of a sports massage, gentle to medium pressure effectively releases surface-level tension in the neck, shoulders, back and limbs that builds up from daily life.
Boosts Circulation
The long, flowing strokes of a relaxation massage encourage blood flow throughout the body, helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles while flushing away metabolic waste.
How the essential oils work
Our relaxation massage uses essential oils with massage strokes chosen for your comfort. Tell your therapist about any fragrance sensitivity or allergy before your session.
Different oils serve different purposes. Lavender for calming and sleep support. Eucalyptus for clearing congestion and boosting energy. Peppermint for headache relief and mental clarity. Your therapist will select the right blend based on your needs that day.
It is gentler than deep tissue but still a firm massage, with confident strokes drawn from Thai tradition.
"Sabai" means comfortable and relaxed in Thai.

Book NowRelaxation massage for South Gippsland
The Relaxation Massage is a quiet hour with low light, gentle hands and essential oils. We use a warmed Thai-style oil blend (lemongrass, bergamot, sweet almond carrier) and gentle compressive strokes that follow the body’s natural energy lines. The pressure is firm enough to be a real massage, never wispy, but light enough that you’ll likely doze off in the second half. Many regular clients book a 60 or 90 minute Relaxation session as a Friday evening reset before a weekend on Phillip Island, or on Saturday before the drive back to Melbourne. We are closed on Sundays.
Gippsland life is demanding: long drives, dairy-farm hours, school-run logistics across spread-out towns, the constant wind off Western Port. Most clients report the deepest benefit from a 60 minute session every 3 to 4 weeks rather than longer sessions less often. Walk-ins welcome on weekday mornings; Saturdays book up fast, so call ahead. Call 0457 295 997 to book.
