Amethyst Touch
Sensory Massage in Bournemouth
for guests with additional needs
Therapeutic touch and massage offer a holistic approach to wellness providing a deeply personalised experience that caters to individual needs and preferences. This adaptable therapy is inclusive, making it accessible to people of all ages, body types and physical abilities, whether they prefer to be seated, lying down or even moving around.
Scientific research supports it's benefits, highlighting how massage can enhance immunity and build stress resilience through the release of the 'fab four hormones': oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and endorphins. These hormones collectively enhance feelings of love, happiness, motivation and pain relief, while promoting the production of melatonin for better sleep.
Beyond the physiological benefits, massage helps cultivate emotional connection and trust, fostering a profound sense of peace and well-being. As it lowers heart rate and blood pressure, massage becomes an effective tool for managing stress, anxiety and personal challenges, breaking down barriers and encouraging serene, balanced life.
Each session thoughtfully integrates elements of touch, smell and relaxing sounds, tailored to the unique needs of the client to create a truly immersive and restorative experience.

About Claire
My journey into holistic therapies blossomed shortly after my son’s arrival. We soon learned he faced numerous challenges as a baby, which sparked my fascination with essential oils. I began creating a personal blend that I wore daily and it had a wonderfully calming effect on him. Being a very sensory and tactile child, he often sought pressure on his head from my hands, so I decided to enrol in an Indian Head Massage course to better support him.
Subsequently, I encountered an inspiring woman named Giuliana, whose experience and documented success using massage with students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) deepy resonated with me. I eagerly signed up for all her courses and witnessed remarkable transformations through each case study. My studies then extended to Aromatherapy and combining it with massage proved to be incredibly beneficial for my son and others.
In 2022, a life-changing opportunity arose when I received a scholarship for a remarkable new treatment called Gentle Release Therapy. This therapy blends the principles of acupuncture (without needles) and energy healing, drawing from the wisdom of Chinese medicine. Drawing upon my extensive knowledge and firsthand experience in both additional needs and various holistic therapies, I’ve carefully crafted a service dedicated to providing personalised support, tailored to the unique needs of each individual that I work with.
Claire’s compassionate, first-hand understanding informs every treatment she provides, creating a warm, judgement-free space for healing and relaxation.
