Holistic Massage

'feel revived, muscle tension eased, body toned and mind rested...'

Holistic massage is designed to help ease tense and tired muscles and achieve maximum relaxation through the ancient and therapeutic power of touch. The massage begins with a few deeper breaths and a soothing head massage to slow down mind and body. As breathing slows down and thoughts drift, the whole body begins to soften and relax. In this relaxed state the body is able to tap into its own innate healing capacity, allowing the cells to renew and repair.

The massage uses a variety of movements and are tailored to the individual’s needs; some are long and flowing to relax and warm body tissue, others short and deep to help release tension knots and areas of stress, others short and rapid to stimulate and revive. The overall effect of these moves improve circulation, helping the blood to more effectively deliver nutrients to body tissue and help clear lactic acid and other waste products from the body.

Rich and nourishing massage oils help lubricate and replenish skin tissue. Choose from a range of base oils including grapeseed, wheatgerm, almond, jojoba and evening primrose.

For extra luxury start the massage with an invigorating body brushing followed by an extra nourishing wax; choose either the Spiezia body balm or the New Zealand wax 'Tui'.

For those who lead a more active lifestyle, sport's massage techniques can be implemented for those areas that need extra strong and deeper moves. Feel free to discuss your requirements prior to booking.
