Happy Tortoise Massage
Welcome, and thank you for visiting. Feel free to explore the website to find out more about me or head straight to the bookings page to get started.
About me
My name is Rory Eaton, I’m a qualified massage therapist with a Level 3 ITEC course in remedial and deep tissue massage, I am fully insured and registered with the FHT.
I come from a very heavy background of NHS work with about 11 years (or my whole adult working life) working in healthcare. I first started off working as a healthcare assistant before training as a paramedic, which I have been doing for several years. However I never felt like I was able to help people enough, so I have started massage as a way to take a more individualist approach to treatment. I still practice as a paramedic, but this is where I get enjoyment out of helping people.
In the photo, you can see Dynamo, the namesake of the company. By virtue of being a tortoise he is one of the most relaxed and chilled animals out there, I hope to help you achieve the same level of happiness that he experiences.

FAQs
What kind of massage do you offer?
It would be amiss to set in stone the style of massage I offer, though I would best describe it as remedial and deep tissue. I work with everyone on an individual basis to provide a treatment that works best for them. This could be dealing with chronic neck and back pain from sitting at a desk, to acute sports injuries.
The massage will generally be done on a massage couch, however I also have a massage chair if that is more to your preference or comfort, please contact me in advance if this is the case.
Do massages hurt?
No! There is a common misconception that in order for a massage to have any health benefit there needs to be a “no pain, no gain” mindset. The idea of a massage is to relax your muscles in order to promote healing and recovery, causing pain will limit this effect, reducing the overall benefit of the massage. Throughout the massage I will communicate with you to make sure you aren’t getting too sore, or conversely if you require more pressure.
What oils do you use?
My oil of choice is a grape seed oil, it has do discernible odour and it is safe for any nut allergy sufferers. I also have a fascial wax to assist with deep tissue. However we can forgo both of these and I also provide an overclothes massage service if that would be more appropriate.
Bookings at private residences?
I have the capacity to come to you in the comfort of your own home for a massage, whether you are wanting to treat yourself and a partner or are planning a party and would like my services as a treat to the guests. Please contact me directly for any requests. Generally it will require a minimum of 3 hours of bookings and be in the East Sussex area, prices to be decided on a case by case basis.
