Massage is the use of hands to manipulate the soft tissues, particularly the muscles of the body for relaxation, stimulation or rehabilitation of the whole or part of the body. Throughout history, people have used touch as a form of communication and comfort and massage as we know it today has its  origins in the Ancients, Greek and Roman cultures.

Holistic massage differs from a standard massage in that treatments are uniquely adapted to each client’s  needs, physical characteristics and personality. There is no set routine as the therapist will tailor the massage techniques used to suit emotional and spiritual wellbeing as well as the physical body of the client.

Using a wide range of massage techniques and skills, holistic massage works on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. These techniques used have different therapeutic effects and can range form gentle, soothing stroking to more invigorating frictions depending on the needs of the client at that moment. Holistic massage works on two levels; physiological - the actual physical  action of manipulating the body’s tissues, and  psychological - the response of the nerves to touch and  movement. The experience of caring, non-intrusive touch will be soothing, enhancing and stress reducing

Before your first treatment, a full, confidential consultation will be carried out. During  this consultation you will be asked to provide information on your health and lifestyle so that we can select the most appropriate form of treatment for you. The therapist will then leave the room for a few minutes whilst you undress and if necessary will assist you onto to the couch. At the end of the treatment, the therapist will leave the room to allow you to dress.
