Holistic Massage

What is Holistic Massage?

Holistic massage has evolved from a combination of Eastern and Western traditions and is now a multidimensional skill encompassing a wide variety of techniques that promote health and well-being. Adapted to the needs of modern stressful life, holistic massage treats the whole person. It aims to relax the muscles, calm the emotions, improve the circulation, recharge the body's immune system and refresh the spirit.

Holistic Therapeutic massage centres around the client's needs. Every massage is an individual experience, tailored to your specific requirements.

Touch is a very basic healing instinct, which is why massage is such a powerful tool.

What to expect from a treatment

A treatment begins with a case history, taking into consideration not only physical pain and stress but also your own physical and emotional history. Then together, you and our qualified massage therapist, decide on how and where on the body to work. The massage therapist will work as gently or deeply as you need, using grape seed oil directly onto the skin.
