Holistic Massage

What is Holistic Massage?

There are lots of different types of massage, each with different origins and aims. Some have been developed for easing pain/tension, some aim to treat a specific condition, others help you purely relax.

Holistic Massage not only has physical benefits but psychological ones too. So it's good for the Mind, Body and Spirit.

As well as working physically on the body, I will be helping you relax which will help your body get out of your sympathetic ('fight or flight') nervous system and into your parasympathetic ('rest and digest') system. This reduce the stress hormones in your body and allow your mind and body to do some healing too.

On a physical level it can have a positive effect on your whole body including your:

muscles
bones
skin
heart and circulatory system
respiratory system
digestive system
lymphatic system
mental health

Contra-indications and cautions

Conditions completely contra-indicated: acute infectious diseases; skin/scalp infections (including impetigo, boils, ringworm, scabies, lice); shingles; deep vein thrombosis; client undertaking chemotherapy or radiotherapy; recent haemorrhage; intoxication

There are other contra-indications that may restrict treatment. Treatment may be able to proceed but be adapted or carried out avoiding certain body parts. These will be discussed during consultation

GP written consent may be required for treatment to proceed for some ailments/conditions. This is required for insurance purposes.

Massage

What are my options?

I offer a Full Body Massage which generally covers back, neck & shoulders, legs, feet, arms, & décolleté. However, if you have a specific issue or say you don't like a specific area being touched, I can tailor it for you!

You can choose a 60 minute, 75 minute or 90 minute massage. Each massage will be tailored to meet your needs. If you want a full body massage, and have a specific issue that you need help with (for example sore neck/shoulders) then you would be best to book in for 75 or 90 minutes so I still have time to work on the other areas too.

You can decide how much pressure you want applied during the massage so that you can enjoy the experience and get the most out of it.

For clients with larger bust, surgery scarring, or even just for comfort I have a super comfy chest pillow I can use for you to lie on and relieve the pressure from your chest area.

As I work holistically, I will adapt each treatment intuitively as needed, providing extra healing if you need it, using Fascia/Connective Tissue release, Reiki, energy healing etc.

*Please note that whilst I can offer a firmer pressure massage, I am not trained in Deep Tissue or Sports Massage. I offer Holistic massage which aims to relax the mind, body and spirit and facilitate healing as required.
