The Story
After more than 20 years in a fast-paced corporate world, I found myself wanting something different, a way of working that felt more natural, more personal and more connected to people.
Like so many women, I know how hard it can be trying to juggle everything. I’ve had times when I’ve struggled with my own mental health, and complementary therapies really helped me through some of those periods. They gave me space to slow down, reset and feel more like myself again.
I think that experience stayed with me, and made me realise how important it is to have somewhere you can step away from everything for a while, without feeling guilty about it.
I loved the idea of creating a space of my own where women could have that time.
That became Cedar Rose.
Tucked away in my garden near the Meadows in Urmston, it’s a small, private treatment space surrounded by nature. Somewhere warm, peaceful and away from the busyness of everyday life.
I never want you to feel like you’re on a clock or that I’m waiting for the next person to arrive. Nothing here is rushed.
Whether you come for a massage, facial or Reiki, your treatment is shaped around you and how you’re feeling that day.
I want Cedar Rose to be somewhere you feel completely comfortable, somewhere you can take some time for yourself, switch off from everything else and leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.

A little about me
I’m Emma, the therapist behind Cedar Rose.
I’m a VTCT Level 3 qualified Beauty Therapist, a mum of two, and I have a real love of massage, facials and complementary therapies.
I’m naturally a caring person, and I think that comes through in the way I work. I enjoy getting to know my clients and understanding what works for them, rather than every treatment feeling exactly the same.
I also genuinely love learning and developing what I offer. Continuing my training is important to me, and I’m always looking for ways to build on my skills and make the treatments at Cedar Rose even better.
