“What an incredible massage! Really was something else. I was in serious need of one! It's really helped my body, released lots of tension, leaving me feeling lighter. Lindsay is an amazing massage therapist. Very intuitive and knows exactly where to go. I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived and was able to relax very deeply. Highly Recommended.”

Holistic Massage.
Holistic massage is an individual treatment that is specifically tailored to each client. A holistic practitioner treats the client as a whole, taking into account their emotional and spiritual wellbeing, as well as their physical body.
Your practitioner will have mastered a wide range of massage techniques. These can range from subtle energy work to deep tissue methods; from dynamic mobilisations to gentle holds. Flexibility in applying this knowledge is paramount since appropriateness must be determined by the client's particular needs. Every treatment is unique providing a creative opportunity for your therapist to adapt to the given situation.
Your therapist will work 'with' the client rather than just giving a massage 'to' them.

What to expect.
At the beginning of the first session a full confidential consultation will be taken. This is done to get a better understanding of you and any ailments, areas of tension or discomfort that you may be experiencing.
No two massages are the same and each massage is completely tailored to your needs on the given day. Our massage treatments, incorporate many different techniques to help you relax.
The treatment would usually take place on a massage couch, using a range of different supports to suit your needs.
We generally use coconut oil in the treatments, but we are happy to accommodate any requests, if given in advance.
Underwear is worn by you, for the treatment. Your therapist will leave the room whilst you undress and position yourself under the drape. During the treatment they will only uncover the area of the body that they are working on at the time, the rest of your body will be covered.
Your therapist will check in with you, with regards to pressure and comfort, and very much encourage you to communicate your preferences, many clients though, prefer to remain silent throughout, so it really is up to you.
Once your treatment is complete your therapist will leave the room for a few minutes, so that you can slowly and gradually re dress. They will then come back into the room and spend a little more time discussing your treatment. If it is appropriate you may receive some gentle aftercare suggestions. This could be something like some simple stretching or relaxing breathing exercises. This will complete you Holistic Massage treatment.
