What is Holistic Massage?

 

Holistic massage is unique to each individual, treating the whole person rather than just the parts. Because our systems work in harmony to keep us alive and well, this approach is naturally integrative and complex—just like us.

What sets holistic massage apart is the blend of techniques, the trusted space, and the clear intention behind each session. I meet you exactly where you are—emotionally, mentally, and physically—and work with you to support your overall well-being.

As with all therapies, the experience depends on the practitioner, so finding someone you feel comfortable with is essential. I invite you to get to know me.

 

Benefit from holistic massage

HOW does holistic massage actually affect you as a whole person - body, mind and soul?

  1. Physically; relax tense muscles and improve circulation to increase flexibility and fluidity. Conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis or Migraines are eased.

  2. Mentally; allow your brain valuable recuperation time to reduce stress; one of the main causes of disease in Western society. Soothe the nervous system to a calm state of ‘rest & digest’. I can help you manage depression, insomnia and anxiety.

  3. Emotionally; receive the caring, non-intrusive touch we long for. Holistic massage can release the trauma stored in our body tissues leading to powerful changes in our energy.

So that’s all of ‘you’… and there’s all of me; my formal education, experience, intuition, interpreting feedback from you and your body.

Connect with all that you are—your thoughts, feelings, and being. This alchemy of self-awareness nourishes personal growth. Discover how I bring this to life through massage below.

Experience holistic massage

The giving and receiving of nurturing touch is a fundamental human need.

It’s well known that our automated and digitalised lifestyle results in disconnect, isolation and chronic tension. Being busy and “on” all the time can be fatal. It’s an unsustainable pace full of unhealthy habits. Make time for regular self-care, such as massage to unwind. Reconnect to yourself. Breathe.

  • To calm the nervous system: Gentle holds, drawing on healing traditions and an awareness of human energy;

  • To remind and create space: Passive joint mobilizations and stretches, such as muscle energy technique (MET);
