Holistic massage
Holistic massage is a person-centred treatment guided by principles of sensitivity, awareness and quality of touch. It involves deep, rhythmical stroking and kneading of the body’s soft tissues that relax and balance the body and mind.
Holistic massage rejuvenates and supports the body’s natural mechanisms. It has a profoundly calming effect on the neuromuscular system, bringing about deep relaxation, restoring energy and settling emotions.
Massage is a therapeutic tool in its own right for aiding our ability to deal with stress. Excessive stress can cause energy to feel blocked, muscles to tense (in the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ reaction), as well as bring about mental and emotional anxieties.
As the rhythmical, soothing nature of the massage strokes releases muscular tension, the effects of stress are eased away, helping the mind to become still and leaving you calm and refreshed.
Holistic in nature, it aims to treat the whole person, not just symptoms, and is adapted to meet each person’s unique requirements. Receiving this treatment can also become a form of deep self-observation — a quiet journey of awareness and letting go.
After the treatment, many people notice improved joint mobility, a sense of lightness, and a renewed feeling of wellbeing.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a relaxing and gentle holistic therapy that aims to support the whole person, rather than just presenting symptoms.
It involves the application of pressure to specific reflex points on the feet or hands that correspond to organs, glands, and body systems. Through the manipulation of these points, this therapy aims to relax and balance the body, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural processes.
