Holistic massage supports healing of the 'whole' person through sensitive touch and adaption of a range of therapies to a client's individual needs.
It has evolved from from longstanding eastern and western massage traditions and draws on a vast range of knowledge. Influences include meditation, counselling- and the understanding of the impact of stress on health- swedish massage techniques and eastern based disciplines like yoga and tai chi.
Holistic massage can relax tight muscles improve circulation, nervous function and joint mobility ease arthritis and back pain soothe 'busy minds' reduce stress & insomnia increase self awareness and self esteem.
As a skilled and experienced holistic therapist I bring all of my knowledge and sensitivity to 'read' what I sense that your 'whole' system is telling me that it needs to heal in order for you to feel better.
When I 'tune in' to how you are feeling, your body communicates to me and I can 'feel where you feel pain, anxiety or anger. Your body literally tells me how you 'feel' about all these things- through your posture and how much tension you hold in certain areas.
A holistic massage treatment with me could include an individually tailored combination of the following:
- gentle touch
- working off the physical body and interpreting the 'aura'
- Swedish massage techniques
- percussion techniques
- passive joint movement and stretches
- appropriate techniques from other related bodywork like crystal healing and reiki.
Sessions are carried out on a massage couch and last either 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Contact me on 07813 396659 for more
