Hi, I’m Soeli, the therapist behind Cocoon Massage & Yoga. ✌🏻

I’ve been working with massage and bodywork for over 15 years and love helping people feel more relaxed, comfortable and connected with their bodies.

My treatments are informal, personal and completely tailored to you. Whether you want to chat, have a laugh, work on a particular area of tension or simply switch off for an hour, you can come exactly as you are.

You may also meet Ruby, my small, friendly Cavapoo and emotional support dog. She’s hypoallergenic and usually keeps me company while I work. If you’d prefer your treatment without Ruby, just let me know in advance and I’ll arrange this for you.

No pressure, no judgement — just time for you.

Why book with me?

🌿 A treatment that's about you
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all massage. I listen to what you need and adapt your treatment accordingly.

💆‍♀️ Experienced hands
With years of experience in massage and bodywork, I’m confident working with different types of tension, aches and everyday muscular stress.

🫶 Relaxed and informal
There’s no need to feel nervous or self-conscious. My treatment room is a welcoming, down-to-earth space where you can simply be yourself.

🧘‍♀️ Time to switch off
Life can be busy and overwhelming. Your treatment is a chance to press pause, breathe and give yourself some much-needed time.

🐾 And sometimes… Ruby!
My little Cavapoo, Ruby, is my emotional support dog and occasionally joins me at work. She’s calm, friendly and hypoallergenic. If you’d rather she wasn't there, just request this when booking and I’ll happily arrange it.

Come as you are. Leave feeling a little lighter. ✌🏻

After many happy years running my own salon, I’m delighted to now be based at the fantastic Jay Jay’s, continuing to offer the same warm, professional and friendly service you know and love.

I’m also highly experienced in men’s cuts and barbering, curly perms and permanent straightening, including men’s curling and texture perms. I love creating bespoke colours tailored to your personal style, including full head colour, regrowth colour matching, high and low lights, vivid's and other techniques. I take time to really listen to what you want and work with you to create a look that suits you perfectly. My aim is always for you to leave feeling happy and confident with your hair. Whether you want a fresh new style, beautiful colour work, or simply a precision cut, I’m here to help you achieve the result you desire. If there is a service you desire and its not in the menu , please message or call direct.
