Balance and Bloom is dedicated to personal, collective and planetary healing.
I believe passionately that good health starts from within – with the transformation of individuals, which then allows their light to radiate out into their communities and the wider world. The company has been set up in line with my values, to be eco-friendly, ethical, anti-racist and inclusive.
It may be your very first step on the path towards healing and good health, or maybe you’ve tried everything else and you really need some extra help – Whatever your situation – you are in good hands and learning how to use the wisdom of Ayurveda is an exciting and transformative journey that will help you feel better.
Ayurveda originates from an ancient civilisation in the Indus Valley, from an area now known as Northern India, where my grandparents are originally from – so it’s really special to me. It feels like an honouring of them. It has been passed on from master teacher to student for generations.
I practice traditional Ayurvedic massage – the way it was intended. And clients that I work with tell me the results are transformative. So if you are ready to heal, shift patterns that no longer work and become a more vibrant, healthier and happier version of you, then I’d be honoured to help.
I’d recommend booking in for a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist appointment before a treatment if you need help with diet, herbs and lifestyle alongside massage.
EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Katie2024-09-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You are in great hands with Emma! Before my wonderful Ayurvedic massage she took time to go through my concerns and understand my Ayurvedic type. My aches/knots from the mountains melted away! Highly recommended! Ember Pearce2024-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma has created a very thoughtful practice and puts care into personalising each session for her client. I have been had three Abhayanga massages with Emma and was delighted to find that each experience was tailored to that moment. Instead of going through the motions, as you might expect, Emma tunes in both to what you tell her as well as to how your body responds to her touch and adjusts the treatment accordingly to provide the most nourishing experience. Emma also gives you some insight into things she noticed afterwards, such as telling me once that she had focussed on my circulation which I had not thought of before the session started nor had any significant concerns about, and offers an herbal tea that she can select for you to enjoy afterwards as you ground yourself back to the moment before you leave. Each time, I have found the experience has lasted long after I have left the massage table. Finally, I must also mention that this practice has been very welcoming for me as a nonbinary person who can struggle more connecting with or tuning into their body. Emma always ensures that I am comfortable and has built a practice where you are seen as a person and your body, despite being the main subject, is seen purely as a part of who you are as opposed to something that will define your experience. Thank you, Emma! I will definitely be coming back. Nana Maiolini2024-07-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely experience. The massage was deep and relaxing. I felt that Emma was wholeheartedly present during the consultation and the treatment. Thank you. Layli Odamura2024-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma Thomas was the Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist that has treated me. She was very engaged in what I had to say and my body condition to help provide the best necessary treatment tailored for me. She was kind, gentle and the treatment was exactly what I needed and was excellent. Would definitely recommend. clare mystery2024-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is a highly skilled Ayurvedic practitioner. My treatment with her was quite frankly wonderful & profound. I’d recommend whole heartedly Damian McCarthy2024-03-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the best massage I have ever received. It was a full body Ayurvedic massage. Emma’s approach was very welcoming and warm and her technique was absolutely superb. Muscles are relaxed attention given to areas that need it. I have an overall feeling that Emma is very professional, for example she uses very high quality oils and towels and doesn’t rush the massage. There are probably cheaper alternatives out there, with a higher turnover of clients, but if you want a very high quality Ayurvedic massage then you won’t get better than Emma.

Had beautiful comments from workshop pals, my favourite being: "so great to have you back" which was meant in a soul sense, not physically, so I am emanating as well as intrinsically feeling reawakened, reinvigorated and rewired. Purchased oil too so I can continue the ~abhangy~ , ~abangayang~ , ~ahangba~ , the massage technique you demonstrated! Thank you deeply once again, magic hands, exactly what was needed (without me knowing it or even how to begin tackling my situation) so grateful to get the gravitation towards your post. Luke x Trevor Lalwani2023-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The treatment with Emma was amazing. I felt very comfortable from the start, welcomed with warmth, love and understanding. Perfect environment in which to heal. LarissaK Producer2023-12-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Emma, just to say again thank you for the incredible session yesterday. It was one of the best or maybe the best therapy session I ever did. Very very powerful. My scar is not painful today and I feel very rested. I will definitely repeat it soon! Julie Pearce2023-12-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma has provided me with two different Ayurvedic treatment packages so far this year. Following each treatment (one was a package of 6 treatments) l felt cared for, refreshed, strengthened, and enriched. She has a thorough knowledge of many things ayurvedic which she happily and patiently shares. I highly recommend her services and look forward to returning for more.
