What is holistic massage and what benefits does holistic massage offer?​

Holistic massage takes a comprehensive approach, considering the individual as a whole, including their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. It aims to create balance and harmony in the body, mind and spirit.

Holistic massage is client-centred and is based on a confidential client consultation which explores the reason the client has come for a massage, their lifestyle and their medical history.

Holistic massage helps create the environment which best allows the body to self-heal.

Holistic massage has many benefits including:

• Pain relief - massage can alleviate pain and discomfort by releasing muscle tension.

• Stress reduction - massage helps alleviate stress and promote relaxation.

• Emotional wellbeing - holistic massage can help reduce anxiety and depression.

• Better sleep - many people find that holistic massage helps them sleep more soundly and wake up feeling refreshed.

• Supporting the immune system - the massage techniques used can enhance blood and lymph circulation which aids the removal of toxins from the body. A reduction in stress can boost the immune system's functioning.

• Boosting the mind-body connection - massage emphasises the connection between the mind an the body promoting a sense of harmony.

Of course the benefits can very from person-to-person. These can also depend on the type of massage offered.
