Your Space to Relax — At Ethical Beauty treatment room in Fishponds, or at Home.

I specialize in working with women, offering a nurturing and empowering space tailored to your wellbeing — but warmly welcome clients of all genders. Whether you’re seeking relief from muscle tension, looking to reduce stress, or simply want to unwind, I provide treatments designed to meet your individual needs.

You’ll find me on Tuesday and Wednesdays, working from Ethical Beauty Treatment room, within Tamed and Wild in Fishponds, Bristol. The space offers a calm, professional environment where you can fully relax and enjoy your treatment.

I also offer a mobile massage service exclusively for women only, within a 10 mile radius of Eastville, Bristol. Home visits are dependent on location — ideally with easy parking nearby and no stairs to climb, as I travel with heavy equipment. A small additional charge may apply for mobile appointments outside this area, unless it is part of a group booking. Please get in touch to discuss your needs and available options.

Holistic Massage & Deep Tissue


Holistic massage considers mind, body, and spirit for optimal well-being. I can incorporate massage techniques such as deep tissue massage, and target specific areas, or give a more relaxing treatment to address physical, emotional, and psychological imbalances, promoting deep relaxation and reducing stress. Tailored to each client, it aims to restore harmony and create a deeply rejuvenating experience.

TYPES OF MASSAGE

Natural Facials

All facials are carried out using ethical, plant-based skincare from Floragy — beautifully simple, effective, and kind to your skin. Each treatment includes uplifting facial massage techniques, with the option to incorporate tools like Cryo globes (cooling therapy for the face), warm facial stones, or Gua Sha. You’re welcome to choose the method that feels right for your skin, body, and energy on the day.




Hot Stone Massage


Hot stone massage uses heated volcanic stones to target muscle relaxation and circulation, easing tension and enhancing overall massage benefits. Combined with traditional massage methods, it provides a deeply soothing and warming treatment that relieves muscle pain, reduces stress, and promotes well-being.

Erika James
Professional Massage Therapist

Erika James

Hello! I’m a holistic massage therapist with over a decade of experience, offering personalised treatments to help ease muscle tension, reduce stress, and support deep relaxation. I gained my Level 4 Holistic Massage Diploma from the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork in 2012, and have since completed further training, including a Thai Yoga Massage Diploma in India, a Practitioner Diploma in Hot and Cold Stone Massage, Releasing the lower back and hips, and advanced Deep Tissue training.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of practising in both UK and New Zealand, working in luxurious spas like the 5* Spa at The Newt in Somerset, as well as treating my own private clients. My time in high-end establishments has given me a unique variety of massage techniques and specialist treatments, including Hammam therapies, lomi-lomi, and full-body rituals.

I’ve also received extensive in-house training at leading spas in facial therapies, working with luxury and results-driven brands such as The Organic Pharmacy, Linda Meredith, MarocMaroc, and more. This experience has deepened my knowledge of skincare and allowed me to offer indulgent, effective facial treatments tailored to each individual.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredible people throughout my career — including high-end private clients and a few celebrities — always focusing on providing a welcoming, professional, and deeply relaxing experience.
