What Is Body Rolling?

Body rolling is a treatment that uses a wooden roller machine to gently massage your body in a specific sequence. It’s designed to stimulate your lymphatic system, improve circulation, reduce fluid retention, and help sculpt and tone the body naturally.

Our machines also include infrared heat and collagen light therapy to amplify results.

It’s kind of like a deep massage + workout + glow-up in one.

Your First Session: Step by Step

1. You’ll Be Greeted + Guided

On your first visit, we’ll walk you through how the body roller works, how to position yourself for each area, and how to adjust the speed and intensity.

Don’t worry—it’s super easy and we’ll make sure you’re confident before we leave you to relax.

2. You’ll Move Through a Guided RoutineThe machine rotates in a set sequence, and you’ll move your body into different positions to target your:

• Legs

• Thighs

• Glutes

• Stomach

• Arms

• Back

Each zone gets a few minutes of focused rolling to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage detox.

3. You’ll Start to Feel...

• A warm, deep massage-like sensation

• Gentle pressure (you control the intensity)

• A bit of sweating if the infrared heat kicks in (this is good!)

Some areas might feel a little tender at first, especially if you’re holding onto tension or fluid—but most clients say it feels strangely addictive after a few minutes.

4. You’ll Finish Feeling Lighter + Energised

Most people leave their first session feeling:

• Lighter

• Less bloated

• Super relaxed

• Surprisingly energised

It’s normal to feel a bit flushed or thirsty afterward, so drink plenty of water and take it easy for the rest of the day.

What to Wear

Wear activewear or something stretchy and comfortable. Leggings, bike shorts, crop tops, and fitted tanks are ideal. No jeans, skirts, or anything bulky.

We recommend bringing a water bottle and avoiding heavy meals right before your session.

How Long Is the Session?

Our First-Time Roller Intro Session is 45 minutes. This includes a quick 10-minute walkthrough followed by your full body rolling experience.

After your first visit, your sessions are fully self-service—you’ll be able to come in, roll out, and leave feeling amazing.
