The Ahlam Massage Experience

Ahlam, or ‘Dreams’, aims to bring the warmth of Massage Healing to the heart of Northumberland

We are all a bit obsessed with time these days. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, are gone before we even notice them. 

Here at Ahlam Massage, we are dedicated to turning your precious time into You Time, because we believe that time is the most precious gift that we can give you. 

Spas offer luxury surroundings but all too often a closely timed, impersonal experience, whereas we promise to provide a personalised service centred on you, where care, attention and dedication is taken to ensure you actually feel the luxury and leave us feeling like a Goddess (or God).

Rooted in tradition, tailored to you.

Caring for others has always been at the core of who I am. Now based in the peaceful beauty of Northumberland, I’ve brought those experiences home with me.

Through Ahlam Massage, I offer a unique blend of traditional and holistic therapies, drawing on Moroccan healing practices to create deeply restorative treatments.

Each session is tailored to your needs—whether you’re seeking relief from stress, help with muscle recovery, or simply a moment of calm.

Using natural oils and time-honoured techniques, I focus on easing tension, improving circulation, and nurturing your overall well-being in a warm, welcoming space.

At Ahlam Massage, you’ll find more than just a treatment—you’ll discover a healing experience rooted in care, connection, and the journey that brought me here.

Your guide to restorative wellness

Welcome! I’m Penny – a massage therapist with a heart for healing and a soul shaped by travel.

Whether you’re seeking deep relaxation, relief from tension, or simply a moment to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to create a nurturing space where you can truly unwind.

Let me bring a little bit of soothing tranquillity to you in Northumberland — one soothing touch at a time.

After years of living and working in the enchanting landscapes of Morocco, I’ve returned to the serene beauty of Northumberland, bringing with me a world of inspiration and a deep passion for wellness.

As a former travel planner, I’ve always been drawn to experiences that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.

While living in Morocco, I discovered the power of traditional hammam rituals, aromatic oils, and the grounding wisdom of ancient therapeutic practices.

These experiences transformed the way I think about self-care — not as a luxury, but as a vital path to balance and renewal. Now, I’ve woven those rich traditions into my massage therapy practice, offering treatments that blend Moroccan influence with holistic techniques tailored to your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve put together some of the most common questions clients ask—just in case you’re wondering the same and of course, I’m always here if you need more clarity

What happens during the pre-Massage consultation?

C
K
At your first treatment, we’ll chat through a consultation form to understand your health & well-being, lifestyle, and what you’re hoping to get from your massage.
This is a very important element of the treatment so open & full communication ensures that the massage can be tailored to you and your needs.
The following appointments include a quick check-in on how you’re feeling and captures any changes in your well-being.
Unlike many other massage therapists, the time this takes is over & above the actual treatment time.

What should I wear?

C
K

For the massage itself, just keep your underwear on — whatever you’re comfortable in.

In the treatment room, I will familiarise you with your surroundings  and then you’ll have privacy to undress and get settled before we begin.

Always let us know your preferences; your comfort and boundaries matter.

What’s the treatment room like?

C
K

Warm, peaceful, and candlelit with delicate, calming aromas and cozy touches throughout the room which invite you to unwind, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to nurture comfort and a deep sense of relaxation.

What happens during a massage?

C
K
Your Massage generally begins with you lying face down, with your head positioned on a circular cushion or in the custom made hole in the bed, whichever is more comfortable for you.
Depending on the specific treatment, you may be asked to turn over and lie face up. Your comfort & modesty will be maintained with towels to covering you, only exposing the areas being massaged.
The treatment commences with long, gliding strokes to warm up the muscles and promote circulation.
Next, a harmonious blend of techniques are used to ease muscle tension and invite a deep sense of relaxation. Areas holding stress or discomfort are treated with care, with pressure thoughtfully adjusted to suit your preferences.
When your massage experience has concluded, you’ll be given ample time to enjoy the sumptuous feeling of tranquil relaxation before fully awakening and leaving the room in your own time. Take your time here….our massages can be very relaxing.

What should I do during the massage?

C
K
Just relax, breathe deeply, and enjoy, as holding your breath can increase tension and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
Consciously relaxing your muscles during the massage is also beneficial. Feel free to let me know if you prefer silence or light conversation.
Quiet sessions often enhance relaxation, but your comfort is what matters most. Should you need to blow your nose, move your position or even scratch an itch, then just go right ahead, as I have said this is YOUR massage.
At Ahlam, I recommend commencing your massage with the Ahlam Foot Ritual as the foot massage sends signals to the rest of the body, enhancing relaxation.

What are the benefits of massage?

C
K
Clinical studies show that receiving regular massage therapy can lower anxiety, reduce pain and give an overall feeling of well-being. It is also encourages relaxation, which can help restore normal sleep patterns.
Ahlam & Fusion Massages are founded on soothing Swedish techniques designed to melt away tension, boost circulation, and gently support your body’s natural detox process. It also enhances flexibility by reducing muscle tension and increasing joint mobility and can boost immune function by stimulating white blood cells.
Hot stone massage is a special type of massage that combines traditional massage techniques with heated basalt stones. The warmth from the stones goes deep into the muscles, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and reduce stress.
Swedish and hot stone massages are especially soothing and effective.

What should I do after my massage?

C
K
Take it easy! Avoid strenuous activity, caffeine, alcohol, or heavy meals. Give yourself time to enjoy the myriad of benefits and stay relaxed as long as possible.
After a massage, it’s important to take care of your body & mind to maximize the benefits of the treatment, so here’s a few things to avoid:
Strenuous physical activity as its best to give your body time to rest and recover after the massage.
Caffeine and alcohol as they can dehydrate your body and counteract the relaxation effects of the massage.
Avoid consuming large, heavy meals immediately after the massage, as it can make you feel uncomfortable and sluggish. Maybe opt for light, nourishing meals instead.
Try to avoid stressful situations or environments after the massage. Give yourself time to relax and enjoy the calm state of mind achieved during the treatment.

Can I get a massage with a medical condition?

C
K
Usually yes and in many cases, your massage can be adapted to accommodate various medical conditions.
However there are a few reasons (known as Contra-Indications) why massage should be avoided or is not a good idea, so please let me know in advance,  if you have or are receiving treatment for any of the following conditions:
· Significant circulatory issues

· Diabetes
· Epilepsy
· Cancer: Currently receiving treatment
· Recent operations/fractures in last 6 months
· Currently being treated by the GP/consultant for any other condition.
Please note some conditions may require consent from your GP prior to you receiving any treatment.

How often should I have a massage?

C
K
Your well-being is unique, and so is your massage journey. Whether you come weekly for ongoing care or monthly for general wellness, each session supports your journey to feeling your best. Whatever pace you choose, every treatment is a step toward a more relaxed, balanced you.

Some kind words about the Ahlam experience...

Penny is the best massage therapist I have had the pleasure of meeting. From the start she makes you feel comfortable and important to her. The room is like walking into another world away from hustle and bustle of everyday life. Treatment I received, made me relaxed and muscles didn’t feel as tight, better able to cope with pressures of life. I would certainly recommend her to other people.

Retired Publican

I have had a number of treatments at Ahlam Massage, the first being head & shoulders then more recently the Ahlam Full Body Massage. I have found them to be very therapeutic leaving me feel relaxed, aches and pains much reduced. Penny will adjust treatments to suit clients’ needs and requests. The whole experience is relaxing from beginning to end and I would not hesitate in recommending Penny at Ahlam Massage to anyone.

Iain - Rothbury Resident & Walker

I have to say after the massage you gave me. I felt absolutely amazing. I did as you suggested and went home to rest, then at around 5 o’clock I had this massive urge of energy so I took a little walk and then did all the housework. I waited till the next morning until showering and my skin felt absolutely wonderful down to my toes. It’s amazing. I am really looking forward to my next appointment with you.

Eleanor - Hairdresser

I really look forward to my Ahlam Massage Therapy-  definitely my time to destress and reset . A time to take stock and relax with a personally designed treatment to suit what I need at different times. I always ask for the Ahlam Foot Ritual it’s my favourite part. I have recommended Ahlam Massage to many of my friends in Northumberland
