why massage?
The magic of holistic massage is that it isn’t just one thing. It’s very essence means it is different depending on the particular situation. Holistic massage when you are busy is a break, a time to slow down and reconnect, returning clearer and fresher to the tasks in hand. Holistic massage when you are experiencing physical discomfort is a chance for easing the pain. Holistic massage when you are feeling fabulous might be a playful and/or profound celebration of life.
For some people massage starts out as a pampering treat. For others it begins as a lifeline thrown to them by a caring friend. Whichever way you come to it, holistic massage can be most effective when it becomes a regular part of your life - as nurturing to you as your diet, exercise, friends and hobbies. Clients often speak of attaining deep peace, resolution and motivation from their massages. This is where my passion lies, working with people as they live their rich, intricate lives.
Customised sessions, using a variety of deep tissue work, stretching, mobilising, lighter touch and holds leave people feeling profoundly different from when they arrived. It’s not uncommon for clients to experience heightened clarity and to find inner resources and power when they’re on the massage table. It’s also not unusual for people to feel smoother, lighter, more comfortable, stronger and more connected after a treatment.
For me, receiving regular bodywork is as necessary as laughing or going for a run. I’m not on the massage table quite as often as I’m pounding the streets, but I have it booked in my diary, it happens and I feel a whole lot more ‘me’ because of it.
I work with everyday people, supporting their ongoing personal development, encouraging them to physically embody the mental and emotional changes they are constantly making.
Lives and minds can tend towards busy - with pressures, responsibilities, activities and concerns. We are often geared up to take action, to make things happen and to get things right. These intentions live in our bodies as tension and tightness, blocking our energy, creativity, spirit and joy. As you literally put yourself in my hands, you give yourself freedom from all that expectation and obligation. The massage session is an invitation to let go and let yourself be.
