Life can take it out of you….
But massage can put it back.
Holistic Massage provides you with a great opportunity to pay attention to yourself and support your rest and recovery.
As part of your first visit, you will be taken through a confidential consultation which allows us to build up a picture of you and your needs so that we can create the best possible session.
It is important to provide information about any constant or recurring conditions, injuries or serious ailments that you may have or any medications you are taking.
It may also help to think about what you want to gain from your session, this can be things such as reducing muscle tension, slowing a busy mind, feeling cared for or stimulating your energy. These are only a few examples of what massage therapy can help you achieve – don’t be afraid of expressing what you want and need. However, you may not know what you need and we can work this out together.
Ranging from techniques such as soft tissue release, facial work, deep tissue, Lymphatic drainage, Thai yoga stretches, hot stones, breathwork…. The end goal being to encourage any restrictions within the soft tissue to release their tension and create more space to move.
Hot Stones
If you like and if it feels appropriate, hot stones can be included in your treatment. The comfort of the heat is soothing and comforting and allows the massage pressure to work on a deeper level, in turn relieving muscle tension and pain.
After care
The end goal is to get you into an intensely relaxed state and to encourage any restrictions within the soft tissue to release their tension and create more space and help you move with more freedom.
After your massage we can discuss how to maintain better stress levels and possible exercises to help with postural issues.
“Receiving massage and building trust can be a learning process at first and takes a certain amount of curiosity about our selves but through this, anyone can find a deeper connection with themselves”.
