Well-Being Treatments Portsmouth
Changes Clinic is known for its aesthetic treatments — but there is another side to what we offer. Our well-being services are led by Laura McBride, our dedicated Wellness Practitioner, offering massage, lymphatic drainage, reiki and holistic treatments to men, women, pregnant clients and new mums.
Wellness treatments with Laura McBride
All treatments are available to men, women, pregnant clients and new mums. Laura will always take time to understand what you need before your session begins.
Lymphatic drainage
It is popular with clients recovering from aesthetic procedures, those dealing with swelling or fluid retention, and anyone who simply wants to feel lighter and less sluggish. Many clients book lymphatic drainage alongside treatments like fat dissolving or HIFU to support the recovery process.
If you have heard about lymphatic drainage and wondered whether it might be right for you, the answer is usually yes — it is gentle enough for most people and the effects are often felt immediately after the first session.
Lymphatic drainage treatments
Laura offers lymphatic drainage three ways — as a full body treatment, focused on a single area after surgery, or combined with wood therapy for body contouring.
Full body lymphatic drainage
A gentle, specialised treatment where Laura uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate your lymphatic system and encourage the natural drainage of toxins from your body. She applies soft, pumping movements that follow the direction of lymph flow, helping to reduce swelling, boost immunity, and promote detoxification. This soothing massage aids in reducing water retention, improving skin tone, and supporting your body's natural healing processes. Ideal for post-surgery recovery, chronic swelling, or overall wellness enhancement.
Post-op drainage, per body area
A targeted, gentle treatment where Laura focuses on a specific surgical area to support your healing and recovery. She uses specialised light, rhythmic techniques designed for post-operative care, helping to reduce swelling, minimise bruising, and prevent fluid buildup around the treated site. Laura works carefully to promote lymph flow, accelerate tissue healing, and improve surgical results. This precise approach helps you recover more comfortably while enhancing the overall outcome of your procedure. Perfect for those in their post-surgical journey seeking expert aftercare support.
Lymphatic drainage with wood therapy
A powerful combination treatment where Laura blends gentle lymphatic drainage techniques with specialised wooden tools to enhance body contouring and detoxification. She uses smooth, ergonomically designed wooden instruments alongside soft lymphatic strokes to break down stubborn fat deposits, reduce cellulite, stimulate circulation, and sculpt your body's natural curves. This dual approach helps eliminate toxins, reduce fluid retention, and improve skin texture while promoting lymph flow. Ideal for body shaping, post-operative recovery enhancement, and achieving a smoother, more toned appearance.

Massage
Laura offers a range of massage treatments suited to different bodies, different needs and different days.
Swedish massage
A flowing, rhythmic full-body massage that eases tension, improves circulation and brings a genuine sense of rest. Available in 30, 60 and 90-minute sessions, with an optional facial add-on. Suitable for men and women.
Deep tissue massage
A firmer, more targeted massage that works into deeper layers of muscle to release persistent tension and tightness. Suited to clients who carry stress in specific areas or need something more substantial than a relaxation massage.
Pregnancy massage
A nurturing, adapted massage for pregnant clients. Laura works with care and full awareness of the body's changing needs throughout pregnancy — focusing on comfort, release and restoration.
Postnatal massage for new mums
A gentle, restorative massage designed for the postnatal period. Whether you are a few weeks or several months post-birth, this treatment supports your body's recovery, eases the physical toll of feeding and carrying, and gives you dedicated time for yourself. Laura adapts every session to where you are in your recovery.
Head in the Clouds
A blissful scalp, neck, and body treatment where Laura uses soothing techniques to melt away tension and mental stress. She focuses on these key areas where we hold daily stress, using gentle massage, acupressure points, and relaxing strokes to release tightness and promote deep calm. This treatment helps ease headaches, improve sleep quality, and leave you feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Perfect for when you need to escape and float into pure tranquility.
Indian head massage
A traditional Ayurvedic treatment where Laura works on your upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp, and face using rhythmic massage techniques. She applies firm yet gentle pressure to release tension, stimulate circulation, and balance your energy flow. This therapeutic massage helps relieve headaches, reduce eye strain, improve hair condition, and promote mental clarity. Performed while you're seated it's perfect for a quick yet deeply restorative wellness boost.
Reiki and energy treatments
A 90-minute treatment that combines therapeutic massage with Reiki energy healing and crystals. One of Laura's signature offerings — it works on both physical and energetic levels, and clients often describe it as unlike anything they have tried before.
Energy healing
Reiki is offered on its own, or fused with massage and crystal work in one longer session.
Crystal Reiki Fusion Massage
A holistic treatment that combines the therapeutic benefits of traditional massage with energy healing modalities. This session integrates hands-on massage techniques with Reiki energy work while incorporating carefully selected crystals placed on or around the body. The crystals are chosen based on their specific properties to enhance relaxation, balance energy centres (chakras), and promote physical and emotional healing.
Reiki
A gentle energy healing practice where Laura channels universal life force energy through her hands to restore balance and promote natural healing. She places her hands lightly on or just above your body, working through your energy centres (chakras) to clear blockages and harmonise your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. This deeply relaxing treatment helps reduce stress and anxiety, ease pain, boost your immune system, and create a profound sense of peace and clarity. Perfect for those seeking holistic healing and energetic renewal.
Holistic facials
Holistic facial
A facial treatment that takes a whole-body approach to the skin — assessing what your skin needs right now rather than following a fixed protocol. Laura selects products and techniques to suit your skin's current condition, leaving it calmer, brighter and better balanced.
Acne facial
A targeted treatment for clients dealing with active breakouts or congested, blemish-prone skin. The aim is to calm inflammation, reduce congestion and support a healthier skin environment without causing further sensitivity.
