What is Holistic Massage?

The word Holistic means ‘ Whole’ and for this reason the ancient discipline of Holistic massage treats the whole person mind, body and spirit and is used to improve health and wellbeing.  It maintains our general health and fitness, complements traditional medicine in the treatment of specific conditions and symptoms, and offers relaxation in our busy lifestyles.

Massage is the therapeutic application of touch using a range of movements or strokes upon the skin, muscles and joints.  It has significant benefits for all the body’s essential systems.  For this reason, a professional therapist will have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the body and its systems.

What to expect in treatment:

Massage treatments are tailored to each individuals needs.  Therefore a brief consultation is necessary to better understand those needs, the symptoms and conditions presented and of course the individuals preferences.  Personal information is treated in strict confidence.
The duration and frequency of treatments is very much a personal choice.  However, for individuals presenting specific conditions or symptoms a treatment plan is usually discussed with the therapist.  Most individuals find the treatments are so beneficial that they return on a weekly or monthly basis for general maintenance.

The therapist uses special oils to nourish the skin and improve the flow of massage movements. 

Following the massage session, the client and therapist will review the treatment and its affects, and discuss any future requirements and after care.
