"I taught massage for thirty years, and this was right up there with one of the best. In your own home, where Emma creates the perfect, peaceful, relaxed vibe. She's thought of everything." — Amanda Brady
You carry a great deal. The days are full, the noise is constant, and somewhere beneath it all is a woman who has been waiting her turn.
I created Home Retreat NI for her. Not to add another thing to manage, but to give her one that asks nothing of her at all.
Massage that releases what you have been holding. Facials that ask nothing of you but to receive.
Nervous system support that reminds your body it is safe to soften.
This is your time. Held gently, in your own home.
Every treatment follows the Restore Method, six unhurried phases that guide your body from arrival to stillness. Nothing rushed. Just a slow return to yourself.
Twenty years across Culloden Estate, The Merchant Hotel, cruise ship spas and Australia, brought home to your door.
The Introduction
90 minutes | £90
A full body massage that gives your whole system time to actually settle, not just your shoulders, working through wherever tension is loudest that week.
"I felt safe, relaxed, and cared for. It isn't just a massage, it feels like being genuinely looked after."
The Signature
120 minutes | £110
Where most clients begin
You've been holding a lot together, and holding it well. Two hours gives your body enough time to actually put it down, properly, not just loosen for an hour before it creeps back in by evening.
This is the session that keeps you able to keep showing up, for work, for the people who need you, for everything the week after this one asks of you. Delivered at home, so there's nothing to undo on the way back to it.
"I taught massage for thirty years, and this was right up there with the best I have received." - Amanda Brady
The Extended Retreat
150 minutes | £150
Some months ask more of you than others, and you've been meeting every one of them. Two and a half hours is enough time for tension that's built up over weeks, not days, to actually leave rather than lift for an afternoon.
This is the session for when it's been a while, and you know it. Delivered at home, with nothing to undo on the way back to your evening.
"On par with the best five star spa massages I've had, in the comfort of my own home."
Care created for the specific tenderness of pregnancy. Easing the weight in your hips, the ache in your lower back, and the quiet depletion of a body that is growing, changing, and carrying more than it ever has before.
Suitable from 12 weeks.
90 minutes | £95
"At 36 weeks, with a lot of aches and struggling with walking, it felt incredible. She got the pressure just right and made sure I was comfortable throughout, not easy at this stage of third trimester." — Tierna
120 minutes | £115
"I felt like I was walking on air after. She was so kind and interested in my pregnancy." — Louise
Recovery for a body that has just done something extraordinary. Gentle, unhurried care for the ache across your shoulders from feeding and carrying, and for the particular tiredness that sleep alone does not seem to reach.
Your baby is welcome. Nothing needs to be arranged, and nothing needs to go to plan.
The Introduction
90 minutes · £90
Focused, thorough work through exactly where the fourth trimester has settled, shoulders carrying feeding, a lower back still recovering, hips learning to hold weight differently again. Enough time for real change.
"Emma couldn't have made each experience any better, between the setup, the pre-massage chat, and the check-ins throughout to make sure I was comfortable." — Gina
The Signature Treatment
120 minutes · £110
Where tension that's been sitting for weeks, not days, finally has time to actually release, not just soften. The kind of session that changes how you sleep that night. And when you sleep properly, you show up for her differently the next day too.
"I feel so rested. When I was sleeping, I was properly sleeping last night, which hasn't happened in a long time." — Laura
90 minutes · £90
Cleanse, exfoliation, and a mask chosen for your skin using ESPA, followed by a facial massage slow enough to properly ease the tension held in your jaw, temples, and brow.
Hot towels and a hand and arm massage carry you through the ninety minutes, because a facial that only touches your face was never going to help you switch off. This one treats your face and your nervous system together, the same way every Home Retreat NI treatment does.
3 hours - £190
A full body massage and a facial, each given proper time of its own, so your whole self is attended to, not just whichever part was loudest. Warm towels and a grounding close carry you through three hours where nothing else is asked of you.
There's a particular kind of tightness that builds without you noticing, in your shoulders, your breath, the way you hold yourself through a day. Three hours is enough time for that to properly let go. You leave lighter, breathing differently, with your skin cared for as thoroughly as everything underneath it.
"I had a facial and massage with Emma and it was honestly exceptional. The whole experience from start to finish was super relaxing, one of the best I've ever had." — Laura
6 hours · £340
A rare and complete day of care, held entirely in your own home.
The day begins before any treatment does. A gentle yoga practice to meet your body exactly where it is, followed by yoga nidra, the deep rest state that asks nothing of you but stillness. Guided personally by Emma, drawing on years spent teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga. Fresh fruit and granola after, taken slowly, with nowhere to be.
Then the rest of the day unfolds. A full body massage, deepened where the day calls for it, sometimes with the warmth of hot stones worked through tired muscle, chosen for you and the season. A deeply calming facial, given proper time of its own. A seasonal lunch brought to you at the midpoint, and a quiet close before Emma leaves.
Nothing separate. One continuous practice, moving your nervous system from movement to stillness and back again, until it remembers how to rest completely.
Your nervous system will do something it rarely gets the chance to do.
It will fully let go.
For birthdays. Postnatal recovery. Burnout. Or simply because you have been last on your own list for far too long.
90 minutes each | £180
Two sessions, back to back, in the same visit, because rest is better when it's shared with the right person. One of you settles in first while the other simply waits close by, then you change places. Bring your sister, your closest friend, your mother. If a baby comes too, they're cared for right there while you rest.
No setup, no clean up. Just show up for yourself.

Wow wow wow! I don’t even know where to begin! Emma is a absolute angel! I got a pregnancy massage today at 34 weeks pregnant. I feel like I am floating on air! All in the comfort of your own home too! I can’t recommend her enough, she is a god send! I cant wait to book with her again for just before I’m due to birth. I will be shouting your name from the rooftops to all my pregnant friends and family! thank you so much.
I had a massage with Emma and it was such a treat. So indulgent to have the spa brought to you. I’m not sure why I’d ever go back to one!!! Thank You, Emma x
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a mobile massage service with Emma, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
The service itself was nothing short of exceptional. The quality of the oils and accessories she provided was top-notch, enhancing the overall experience. It was, as the name suggests, truly luxurious. Emma's attention to detail and her commitment to creating a relaxing atmosphere made for an unforgettable massage session.
If you're looking for a high-quality, professional mobile massage experience, Emma is the one to choose. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. You won't be disappointed!
I was deeply impressed with Emma from the very first message. Booking was easy, communication was warm and responsive, and everything felt organised and professional.
When Emma arrived, she brought everything with her: beautiful aromatic oils to choose from, a very comfortable massage table, a lovely scented candle, carefully chosen music, and even a cup of Pukka tea afterwards. Her attention to detail was incredible.
I had asked for a firm massage, and she managed to find every knot while still making me feel relaxed, safe, and cared for. As a mental health and travel journalist, I’ve had hundreds of massages in some of the world’s top hotels — from Mandarin Oriental to Four Seasons and Soneva Maldives — and Emma is absolutely on that level.
Her work feels personalised, intuitive, and truly skilled. You can sense her international experience and the way she blends different techniques into her own beautiful style.
I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who needs support, rest, or a moment of real nurture. It isn’t just a massage — it feels like being genuinely looked after. And for the quality of what you receive, the price is incredibly fair.

I can completely understand why people might feel a little apprehensive about booking an at-home massage. It’s a relatively new concept for many people, and inviting someone into your home can feel a little uncertain. I felt exactly the same, but I genuinely couldn’t recommend Emma more.
I’ve had massages in spas and beauty salons before, and while they’ve always been lovely, I’ve often wished the experience felt a little more personal. Emma’s service is honestly second to none. Every stage of the experience has been so thoughtfully considered, and the level of personalisation is incredible.
Emma has such a warm, calming and completely non-judgemental presence. You can really tell that she genuinely cares about her clients rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I never felt awkward asking for little adjustments or sharing my preferences because she creates such a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
The whole experience feels incredibly luxurious. From the beautiful premium teas she brings, to the heated eye mask, the massage bed, the gorgeous aromatherapy, it feels like every part of your wellbeing is being cared for. Physically, mentally and emotionally, you feel completely looked after.
One of my favourite touches was that afterwards she simply lets you head straight to bed while she quietly packs away and lets herself out. It sounds like such a small thing, but it makes the whole experience feel even more relaxing because you don’t have to suddenly switch back into “hosting” mode.
I was honestly surprised by just how easy it was to completely switch off. I’ve often found myself thinking during spa treatments, “I paid for this, I need to relax!” which ironically makes it harder to enjoy. Somehow, whether it’s the amount of time Emma spends with you or simply the fact that she never feels rushed, you genuinely feel able to be present and savour every moment.
I’m so glad I decided to book. If you’ve been wondering whether to try an at-home massage, I’d wholeheartedly encourage you to do it. It was one of the most relaxing experiences I’ve had, and I’ll absolutely be booking with Emma again.
Wow I had the most super duper treatment with Emma yesterday Such care and attention to detail , everything from getting the perfect pressure for me , great hands and such a caring , professional treatment . I taught massage for 30 yrs and this was right up there with one of the best . Also in your own home where Emma creates the perfect peaceful relaxed vibe Honestly she’s thought of everything Thank you 10/10 5 star
With over twenty years spent working in some of the world's finest wellness environments, I have seen first hand how much the right treatment can change a person.
Not just physically. But in how they feel in themselves.
I trained and worked across five star spas in Australia, spent seasons aboard luxury cruise ships, and brought that same standard of care home to Northern Ireland, working within the Culloden Estate and the Merchant Hotel.
Alongside my spa work, I trained in baby massage and taught prenatal and postnatal yoga, which gave me a deep understanding of the female body across every season of life.
Over time, one thing became clear.
The most meaningful treatments were never rushed. They were never quick fixes. And they never happened in noisy, hurried environments.
They happened when someone felt safe, unhurried, and completely cared for.
That is why I created Home Retreat NI.
To bring that level of care directly into your home. So you do not have to drive anywhere. You do not have to step back into a busy world the moment it is over. You can stay in that calm, settled feeling for as long as you need.
My work is simple.
To help your body release what it has been holding. And to support you in feeling like yourself again.
