Welcome to PureGem Massage

At PureGem Massage, I believe in nurturing the mind, body and spirit through professional massage and holistic therapies. Sometimes it isn't enough to keep taking pills and potions in an aim to feel better. I believe that healing and holism comes from a number of different areas. I aim to create a relaxing environment personalised to help you find balance and peace. Allow yourself the time to relax, renew and rebalance with a rejuvenating treatment. I work alongside the medical profession in order to treat the body as a whole, putting you at the heart of what I do.

About me

How did I get here?

My name is Gemma. I am 38 years old. My career began in nursing when I qualified as an adult nurse in 2012 through the University of Nottingham. My role has seen a few different ward environments in a local hospital such as A&E, Radiology and Cardiology. My current nursing role is in the community as a Urgent Hospice Care at Home Nurse. Although I love being a nurse and all that I can give to patients and relatives during end of life, I want to give more and do more for others in their journey of health and wellbeing.

I began my Usui Reiki training in September 2019 where I embarked on a journey of self discovery and self healing. It was a messy few years of healing. During this time, I found what was good in my life and what didn't serve me well. I then decided to take my Reiki Practice further and after more training and case studies I qualified as a practitioner (Okuden) in February 2024. 

I also decided  I wanted to learn the craft of massage therapy and be able to offer a hands on approach to relaxation. So I attended a ITEC diploma course in massage therapy, gaining the valuable skills and knowledge. I am a now a fully qualified Massage Therapist in Swedish Massage. 

In the next few years, I will be completing further CPF courses to be able to offer my clients more variety when it comes to relaxation and healing of the mind, body and spirit. Watch this space!

What are the benefits of Swedish Massage?

Swedish Massage is a light to medium pressure massage making it a gentle and relaxing experience. Swedish massage uses long, gliding strokes, kneading and circular motions and is a good starting point for those new to massage therapy.

There are many benefits that Swedish massage provide, such as:

  • Pain Management

What are the benefits of Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique, also known as universal life energy and is a complimentary therapy often used alongside conventional medical treatment. It is a gentle non- invasive touch technique where the practitioner will gently place their hands on or near the body with the intension of channelling and balancing the flow of universal life energy. Reiki is not a cure for illness or disease but it can provide many benefits and will go where it is needed in the body, such as: 

  • Promotes relaxation
  • Helps to ease pain
  • Supports the body's natural healing process
  • Helps to improve sleep
  • Supports the immune system
  • Reduces fatigue
  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Promotes a sense of peace and harmony 

Deep tissue Massage

Swedish Massage or Deep tissue massage?

Deep tissue massage uses focussed and sustained pressure to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues. It helps to break down knots, adhesions and areas of tension.

What else am I working on?

I am currently expanding my knowledge and skills to become skilled in other forms of holistic therapies aimed at providing a first class experience for you to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear during a massage session?

For a full body massage, I suggest loose and comfortable clothing that allows easy access to areas being massaged. I will ensure your comfort and modesty are maintained throughout using freshly laudered towels and blankets to drape over your body. I give you privacy and dignity to undress in comfort.

As I use grapeseed oil as a massage medium, please do not wear your best clothing. I do not take responsibility for oil/ lotions transfered onto clothes during or after treatment.

What should I wear during a Reiki session?

Reiki requires no removal of clothing so you can wear whatever you are comfortable in. I provide a freshly laundered blanket to cover you for comfort and a pillow to support your head. I play soft and gentle music during the session.
