Mother Massage – Specialised Women's Health Therapy in Olney

I am a level 6 qualified, experienced and accredited Massage Therapist & Body worker, Fitness Instructor and Women’s Health Therapist.

As well as enjoying supporting women through ‘life’ I also run a Level 3 Pregnancy Massage & Bodywork course for professional Therapists keen to be able to offer Pregnant women an outstanding massage and support them through their Pregnancy.

As a mother who once felt unsupported, exhausted, and overwhelmed, I know firsthand the toll that caregiving takes when there’s no room for self-care. I spent years trying to be everything for everyone, but deep down, I knew that mothers deserve a life that honours their own well-being just as much as their families’. That realisation became the foundation of my work and my passion.

I created Little Therapy Space to offer mothers what I once needed myself: a nurturing, judgment-free sanctuary where they can feel seen, heard, and deeply supported. In our fast-paced, “always-on” society, mothers are often pressured to do it all, to push through exhaustion, and to hide any struggles. But I believe there’s another way—a way to embrace motherhood with balance, self-compassion, and a focus on self-care.

In every session, my goal is to give women the courage to prioritise themselves, to trust their instincts, and to recognise that they don’t have to do it all alone. My approach is deeply rooted in empathy, a commitment to true wellness, and a desire to provide the kind of care that mothers are often too busy to give themselves.

Through my work, I aim to be that much-needed village, offering mothers not only physical support but a renewed sense of confidence and peace. I want every mother who walks through my door to leave feeling empowered, centred, and connected to her own well-being. Together, we’re redefining what it means to care for ourselves so that we can thrive—not just survive—in motherhood.

What Tanya's Clients Say

"I’ve done so many of Tanya’s classes across two pregnancies and babies. She is so knowledgeable and her sessions are always like a warm hug!"
P Hutchinson
"If you're after pain management, and a path to resolving problems I recommend Tanya. She made it easy and convenient for me to have my massages and was flexible during the sessions which comforted me as they occurred during my son's nap time."
Christine, Milton Keynes
"One of the most amazing experiences. I didn’t know what to expect from a womb massage but it was incredible and helped release a lot of emotion I’d been storing in my body. Tanya takes time to talk to you before and after and was so helpful and just lovely. I can’t recommend her enough."
Helen
"I’ve had several massages (pregnancy and post natal) with Tanya, and did the Back to Exercise course recently. Tanya is an absolute super woman! She is so kind, warm and friendly and I instinctively trust her. I felt I could be very honest about how I was feeling, with no judgment. Honestly the best massages I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend highly enough!!"
Holly Stapley
"Tanya is fantastic! I am 37 weeks pregnant and I'm experiencing severe back pain. Tanya gave me a soothing massage and plenty of advice on stretching and tips for birth. I will definitely go back to Little Therapy space for a post natal course."
Laura Parrí Royo
"I recently took the ‘Navigating Motherhood’ course and I would highly recommend. I have just had my first child and this course has helped me in so many ways. Covering on areas such as managing your relationship with your partner, sleep, pelvic floor, breast feeding, slings and more. It was so helpful in helping me feel more grounded into my first steps of motherhood."
Nicola
