About Holistic Massage
Holistic Massage is a person-centred approach to massage therapy that is guided by principles of sensitivity, awareness and quality of touch. It holds the possibility of reintegration. Rather than focusing solely on fixing physical symptoms, the therapist is interested in providing a treatment that is equally responsive to the state of a person’s emotional and mental well-being. Sometimes it is not easy to be clear about what it is that we need from a treatment, or what is happening in our life that is causing us to feel the way we do. What can’t be expressed or articulated in words can be held in the body tissues and its energy patterns. Through the nurturing process of holistic massage, of conversing with the body using an intuitive ‘listening touch’, it becomes possible for these (often painful) holding patterns to be discovered, acknowledged and released.

‘…this can lead to powerful changes in our energy and provide a vital and chemical ingredient in each person’s process of growth’ (Massage Training Institute)

Initial consultation
During the initial appointment, time will be taken (usually 10-15min) to:
(1) find out what has prompted you to make the appointment,
(2) ask about your health history
(3) find out if there is anything else you would like me to know, and
(4) agree on body areas to be included in massage.

Massage Treatment
The massage treatment will usually be approximately 35-45min in length, and involve a combination of massage techniques. In addition, healing energy work can be integrated into treatments, or offered separately however this will always be discussed prior to doing so.

Techniques used can include:

- Listening touch
- Swedish massage strokes
- Myofascial Release
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Passive Stretching
- Amma Fusion (a blend of eastern massage techniques).
- Energy Healing

If you would prefer to remain clothed for your massage, please let me know – this is possible.
