What is holistic massage?

Simply put, holistic massage seeks to meet the needs of the whole person, their body, mind and spirit. That can sound like a bit of a cliché, but if you’ve ever experienced a massage delivered as a routine set of strokes, you’ll feel a world of difference. Each massage will be tailored to your unique needs on the day. Together we’ll come up with a plan for the massage to ensure we work with the areas of the body that would like some focused attention. I use a variety of techniques to relax and relieve tension in the body and I will ensure you feel respected, nourished and met. It never stops feeling like a real honour to be working with another person's body.

What happens during a session?

I'll take some time before the massage to get to know you and understand what you’re looking for from the massage. We’ll make a plan for the massage, and I’ll also check in with you regarding pressure and comfort during your session.

The space will be softly lit and you can choose whether or not to have accompanying music. A heated underblanket will ensure you feel cosy and cocooned on the massage table. During the massage I will use a drape to cover the parts of your body which are not being massaged, you are welcome to undress to your level of comfort. After the massage, we'll have a short check in and I'll offer some aftercare.
