Ontarget Massage - Barns Green, Horsham Description
OnTarget Massage is fronted by Gemma Underwood. I qualified in Sports and Remedial massage back in 2012 but have since found my career taking a very different path. The first course I took after qualifying was in Hot Stone massage, which I use in nearly all treatments. I have undertaken many different courses since to further my career, deepen my knowledge and most importantly to benefit my client, thus being able to offer my clients the best possible therapies. I quickly discovered that more and more of my clients were women who were pregnant, this lead to becoming more specialist and focus my business on “well woman” and supporting women through conception, pregnancy, motherhood and beyond. I am now qualified in Aromatherapy, Holistic Facials, Anti-Aging Facial Massage (Ayurvedic Face Massage), Hopi Ear Candling, Sports & Remedial Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Warm Bamboo Massage, Thai Foot Massage and Pregnancy Massage. All of these can be stand-alone therapies but equally, I do often combine many of these in order to offer by clients the most suited therapy for them. I tailor make these therapies to your well woman needs and support you holistically on this journey through your various and life stages. Aromatherapy is also used to support your journey in-between therapy sessions, this can take the form of taking home products such as rollerballs, misters, room sprays, shower gel, bath oil, bath salts to name but a few.
I also run Baby Massage classes (please contact me for further details and information).
I am also looking at running Aromatherapy workshops, details of this will be coming soon.
In all my therapies I only use high quality and ethical products, and Neal’s Yard Remedies is who I choose to use. Neal’s Yard Remedies are leaders in UK and Organic Skincare. I am also able to bring these products to your home /place of work etc for you and others to sample. In return, you will get a complimentary facial, a gift for booking and a gift for hosting. You will get free and half price shopping so you can stock up on Organic and Ethical Skincare.
Coming in April 2017 – Fertility Massage.

Are you celebrating #nationalsunglassesday?
When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100% of both UVA and UVB radiation, so you can keep your vision sharp and eyes healthy. A wide-brimmed hat offers great protection, too!
🌳 Get outside! 🌳
Sitting at a desk all day long really isn’t good for us. If you’re starting to feel achy and fidgety but it’s hours until you can go home, try some of these desk-based yoga moves to release that tension until home time.
1. Seated Backbend Sit up, keeping your spine straight. Take a deep breath and reach as far as you can up toward the ceiling with your arms open wide. Breathe out and look behind you as you bend slightly from your upper back and chest. Hold this pose for a few... seconds, let your arms fall back to your sides, then repeat a few times.
2. Seated Twist Sit in a chair, making sure your spine is nice and straight. Breathe in, then as you breathe out, twist to one side from the bottom of your spine while holding onto your arm rest. Hold the pose as you breathe in a few more seconds, then stretch the other side.
3. Desk Shoulder Opener Stand a few feet from your desk, and drop your head between your arms to achieve a good shoulder stretch. This balances out the hunching that you get when you’re sitting over a desk all day and helps get your shoulders back into proper alignment.

A great video about shoulder mobility, thanks Zac Laraman Sports Osteopath
Sometimes people just need a hug!
On holiday in the West Country and for the 2nd year running I have had a tick. Just managed to remove one from my leg (below my walking sock line!) if you are holidaying in this country this year please educate yourself to help protect you and your family. Even if you don’t have a dog it’s worth getting the removal tool (link in comments)
Lyme disease has 'dominated' my life
Sore, throbbing joints can make life difficult. About all you can think of doing is heading for the couch and sitting there till the pain goes away.
But sitting can actually make joint pain worse!
Hours of sitting tighten hip flexor and hamstring muscles and stiffen the joints. Tight hip flexors and hamstrings can affect gait and balance, making it harder to walk — or even making you more likely to fall. If you suffer from joint pain/stiffness then do keep moving (in a controlled manner).
🌱I love being a fully trained aromatherapist 🌱
