hair and beauty in Scotland

NOVO Therapy is a private, home-based massage studio in Glasgow’s Southside, created for people who want professional care without the noise, rush or formality of a busy clinic.

Every appointment is calm, discreet and completely one-to-one. Your treatment is shaped around how you are feeling, what your body needs and the level of pressure you prefer, rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine.

Founded by massage therapist Jamie, NOVO Therapy combines a modern, thoughtfully designed setting with a warm and down-to-earth approach. The focus is simple: helping you slow down, feel more comfortable in your body and leave feeling genuinely looked after.

Fresh linens, unhurried appointments, personalised care and thoughtful aftercare all come as standard. NOVO Therapy proudly welcomes clients of all backgrounds, identities, body types and levels of massage experience, with respect, comfort and absolutely no judgement.

Private studio. Personal attention. Time that is entirely yours.
