Tailored treatments and interventions for real, lasting wellbeing.
Every treatment at Somatica is built around you — your body, your health history and how you feel on the day. No routines, no one-size-fits-all; just thoughtful, evidence-informed interventions to help you move more freely, ease discomfort and restore balance.
Massage that starts with listening to you
Every appointment begins with a conversation, not a checklist. You’ll be listened to, assessed, and treated with skill, compassion and attention to detail.
Alice takes time to understand your history, symptoms and goals so you feel heard and respected. Each session is adapted in the moment – whether you need gentler, restorative work or deeper, problem-solving treatment – to help ease discomfort and support more natural movement.
Support for pain, recovery, scars and change
Somatica brings together different specialist massage approaches in Bradninch, Exeter, Devon so you do not have to guess which technique you need. We choose what is most appropriate for your body, your symptoms and your goals.
Remedial Massage
For ongoing or recurrent pain, stiffness and tension. Thoughtful, problem-solving work to support joints, muscles and movement patterns in everyday life.
Scar Therapy Massage
Gentle, targeted work to support scars after surgery, injury or c-section – helping to ease pulling, tightness, sensitivity and changes in movement or sensation.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
A light, rhythmic technique that supports lymph flow and can be part of recovery after surgery, illness, or periods of reduced movement.
Visceral Massage
Gentle, specific work around the abdomen, ribcage and diaphragm to support comfort with digestion, breathing, posture and how your body feels from the inside out.
Pregnancy Massage
Support through pregnancy and after birth, with positions, cushions and techniques chosen to help you feel safe, comfortable and well-supported at each stage.
Unsure which treatment?
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly which approach is best. We can use your first appointment to explore what is happening, try gentle options and plan the right support together.

Alice blends up-to-date research in massage therapy with hands-on clinical experience, creating treatments that are both evidence-informed and deeply supportive.
