Holistic Massage
Time to drop out of the head and into the body. To slow down. To receive. To connect with yourself.
Each session is a collaboration, tailored to you in line with your needs, preferences and intention. With skill and attunement, I respond to your body using a ‘listening’ touch. Techniques may include deep tissue massage, fascial release, acupressure, holds, rocking and mobilisation.
This is massage that is sensitive, intuitive and responsive.
It’s a pleasure to work with clients over time. Holistic massage works best when it’s part of regular self-care. This allows us to build a therapeutic relationship and for your body to become accustomed to receiving.
Pregnancy & Postnatal
Time for you to connect with yourself and your baby. For most people, massage is safe and welcome all the way through pregnancy from the first weeks where you may feel extremely tired, to right before labour when bodywork can offer great relief.
I hope the therapy room is a haven where you can experience safety, holding and relaxation.
Massage postnatally is especially important, nurturing you as a ‘new’ mother and restoring balance to your body that has gone through the greatest of transitions. The hormonal changes of pregnancy and postpartum increase our need for oxytocin so bodywork truly is a physiological need of this life transition.
Mothers at all stages deserve nourishing touch and care.
