Holistic Massage Therapy
Holistic massage is subtle and works deeply, combining Swedish style massage techniques with pressure points, stretching and movements to release tension and increase flexibility and awareness.
Massage is an ancient art that has been practised for centuries. Holistic comes from the Greek word holos, meaning whole and refers to an approach to massage which works not only on the muscles but on the entire person. As therapist, I consider your physical and emotional well-being to be inseparable. Each session is unique and adjusted to your needs, taking into account much more than superficial aches and pains. Massage is one of the most natural ways to de-stress the human body.
Massage works by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage which helps the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells and thereby increases vitality. At the same time, massage removes dead skin cells, releases muscular tension and boosts the immune system. Relaxing massage will deepen breathing, calm the mind and reduce stress.
