Aluma

Come home to yourself

Margate · England · On Location Worldwide

A Sanctuary on the Kent Coast

Healing that is felt, not spoken. A place where the body is listened to, the nervous system is soothed, and what has long been held is gently released.

Founded by Emma after more than two decades in wellness and training as a counsellor, Aluma unites intuitive bodywork, energy healing and deep human presence — through treatments, one-to-one mentoring, and private retreats created around you.

The Treatments

Journeys Within

Each treatment is guided by your unique body and your personal journey — never a routine, always a response to what you carry that day.

The Signature

The Aluma Way Massage

A wholly intuitive massage that works where your body asks for it most. Swedish technique, fascia release, lymphatic drainage, deep tissue and energy work flow into one continuous journey — abdominal massage included — releasing emotion held silently in the body. All that is asked of you is to be open, receive, and rest.

For grief · anxiety · chronic tension · the deeper journey within

Gentle nurturing touch treatment Margate, England
The Stillness

The Aluma Way Nurturing Touch

The gentlest of light touch, guiding the body into profound rest. As soft pressure soothes the nervous system, energy moves freely again and the body remembers what it is to be held. For those who need not depth of pressure, but depth of care.

The Ceremony

Sacred Skin Ceremony

Far beyond a facial. Signature techniques refined over twenty-four years — flowing movement, lymphatic drainage, sculpting and restoring — with devoted time for scalp, shoulders, hands and feet. The skin emerges bright, contoured and calm; the whole being, rebalanced.

Mentoring

Guidance for the Journey Between Sessions

Some healing asks for more than touch. It asks for someone to walk beside you.

Drawing on her training as a counsellor and over twenty years of guiding others, Emma offers one-to-one mentoring — a held, confidential space to be truly heard, to understand what your body has been telling you, and to move gently toward the life you are asking for. Available in person in Margate or from anywhere in the world.

  • The Single Session
    Ninety minutes of dedicated space — for clarity, direction, or simply to be heard.
  • The Journey — Three Months
    Fortnightly sessions with gentle practices between them, woven with bodywork where it serves you.
  • The Immersion — Six Months
    Deep, sustained companionship through a season of change, with priority access to treatments and retreats.

The Founder

Emma

“I realised that true transformation, for me, lay beyond words.”

After more than twenty-two years in the beauty industry and training as a counsellor, Emma was drawn toward a deeper form of healing — one felt through touch, therapeutic energy bodywork and holistic care rather than spoken in a therapy room. Aluma was born from that calling: a space where trapped emotion is released from the body, and you are supported in body, mind and spirit.

Emma is a qualified, insured member of BABTAC, and welcomes guests to her Margate sanctuary as well as on location across the UK and beyond.

“Emma, you are amazing. I genuinely feel as though I have released so much today — more than I ever even realised I needed to.”
Jane · Guest, December
