Holistic massage
Holistic massage is “classic” relaxing massage.
If you have never had a massage before this is a good place to start. It helps relax the body and mind and the effects are both physical and mental. It can create a feeling of wellbeing and allows for deep levels of relaxation.
This massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, and joint stiffness. It is an ideal complimentary therapy if you have physical aches and pains or feel stressed, anxious or depressed.
Holistic massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage.
The five basic strokes are…..
effleurage (sliding or gliding)
petrissage (kneading)
tapotement (rhythmic tapping)
friction (cross fiber)
vibration/shaking.
“I’ve been coming to Rita for massage for a few years now and I can’t praise her enough - Rita always provides a completely personal and tailored experience and seems to know exactly what my body and mind need. I always leave feeling happier and lighter - Rita is a miracle worker!!!”
“I have had a few massages with Rita, and they have been so good. She seems to really understand what is happening in my body and goes straight to the problem areas without direction. A firm but caring touch - Rita has a gift. I feel cared for.”
“I had the most wonderful massage with Mattea. Her calm and nurturing approach completely suited my needs. We had a quick chat and she incorporated a holistic massage with other methods tailored to me as an individual. The environment and atmosphere was perfect. Definitely rebooking soon to continue the healing process. Thank you”
“I would like to add a 5 star review for Claire Sands who gave me an excellent 90min treatment the other day. She was professional and friendly and it was an excellent massage. I will 100% be booking again!”
“It was so lovely having a massage with Rita. I felt safe and comfortable with the new guidelines and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks!”
“Pieter is a wonderful body therapist. That might sound exaggerated, but I mean it because he is very skilled, warm and friendly, intuitive, professional and wise. He has helped me a lot with releasing long held tensions and processing emotion through the body. I love his background music selections too - his ‘second pair of hands’ and I feel more positive, relaxed, lighter and longer when I leave.”
“Very nice. Relaxing, distressing and restful. Just what I needed after working so hard. I slept so well that night and it got the knots out too. Thanks :) ”
