Holistic Massage

What is Holistic Massage 

The term Holistic derives from the ancient Greek word Holos, which simply means whole. 
By definition, holistic massage treats the whole of the body as a single unity. Holistic massage is an ancient method of healing that clears the lymphatic drainage system and releases toxins from the body. 
By recognising that illness and stress affects not only our physical but also our emotional, spiritual and mental well-being, holistic massage allows the body’s natural healing abilities to come forth and balance the entire body as a whole. 
Holistic massage techniques have been used for thousands of years in Egypt, China and India. 

Techniques

There are four main massage techniques used in holistic massage. 
Effleurage involves stroking movements; 
Petrissage is a technique that resembles kneading; 
Tapotement includes cupping movements 
Hacking and Vibrational movements are created using the fingers
Holistic massage can lead to better circulation, less physical tension and deeper breathing, which oxygenates the entire body. There are also many emotional and mental benefits from holistic massage

What you should expect from having a Holistic Massage: 
Each massage lasts for roughly around one hour and can be performed over the whole body.
If you chose to just have a body part massage whether on your back, face and head or the stomach then only the part of the body that is being worked will be exposed at any time. 
The first session will take a little bit longer because of the client history form that is needed to be taken beforehand after that when you visit it will just be a quick chat to check if anything has changed in your health since the last visit. 
After the massage, I may advise you on other things that you can do to help you maintain your body's natural balance.
