Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."   Leo Buscaglia<o:p>

What is Holistic & Therapeutic Massage?

People often ask me what the difference is between a normal massage treatment and an holistic and therapeutic treatment. 

I find the best way to explain is  to look at the meaning of holistic and therapeutic.

Holistic means 'whole' in ancient Greek . So this form of massage deals with you as a 'whole'.  It is not just looking to treat the symptoms, but to establish the cause, whether it be internal or external. The aim is to re-balance the body so it achieves homeostasis or balance.

Therapeutic means to treat or attend in Greek , the results of which are judged to be desirable and beneficial.

The massage treatment I offer therefore is tailored to you as a whole being not just simply you as a component of parts. I take the time to understand you, your lifestyle and your needs and together we agree the best treatment for you.
