Healing holistic massage

The body can get very tight, rigid or tense in most of us. Busyness, fast paced lifestyles, family pressures, or financial worries can all add up to stress accumulating in the tissues, the mind or feeling like we are in a state of alert. All treatments start with a gentle consultation to see how you feel, full details if a first time visit and reoccurring more a download of how things are currently. Talking can be very therapeutic & help open to the treatment. Aromatherapy blends are then made up depending on what might be needed. Massage is perfect for undoing, releasing and bringing awareness to the body. It is relaxing, therapeutic and deepening to allow the body to unwind. The mind can switch off, and it allows the self to reconnect more on a soul level bringing back a sense of alignment.  

Holistic massage is beneficial for people who might be
– feeling easily frustrated, agitated & tense and don’t feel they can unwind easily.
– are on computers, iPad or phones a lot.
– drive long distances, work long hours, periods of study.
– Suffer with headaches, migraines, painful shoulders or have any aches, pains, back issues. 

-Going through peri or menopause with lots of different symptoms – regular massage can really help to support.  

-Have an interest in holistic health, the body and how we look after ourselves with more awareness.
– don’t have a lot of self-care and relaxation in place, have small children.

Repeat regular monthly treatments are often recommended as solidness in the back can come from years of holding, knottiness & tension building up, so each time as a process more physical healing will unravel & undo in stuck areas. Some people come seasonally to aid the body and others once a year.  

Looking after yourself is maintenance for the future & longevity.  

Holistic back, neck & shoulder massage, face & scalp massage, reflexology. 

This has become a popular session as a regular therapeutic treatment and gives a great healing shift, perfect if you aren’t a fan of too much oil, feel a little nervous of massage or enjoy more focus on the back or reflexology we can style the time frame to suit what the body needs.  

This is a great length of time to give the body the opportunity to fully slow down, take stock, relax. So often people come in and say “Gosh, I thought I was feeling pretty good when I got here but now, I can feel or sorts of aches and pains”.  Life is fast paced here in East Sussex, most people are juggling lots of pressures, family life, personal problems, busy work, it is important act to take time, listen to the body and what it might need. Sharing, chatting around what is going on for is also very beneficial, as often a lot of the stresses, aliments of the bodies are where we may have tried to battle on with problems, the emotional strain, impact can stay within the body gradually building up, better out than in. Self-care is incredibly important, if possible, it is helpful to pencil out some time after wards to go home quietly to relax, drink lots of water, allowing the body time to rehydrate, process through any detoxification from the treatment. Have a nice cup of tea and regroup with yourself. Consciously feel what came up. 

Starting on the back we gently allow the body to relax, organs to settle, the breath to centre. Shoulders are stretched out, neck released, gentle work along the spine, Muscle relaxing, fascia release & hip area are worked on. The arms & hands can hold a lot of knottiness from locking in with the shoulders. Backs of legs can cause tightness in hips and ankles, so the focus is to release all areas which can hinder energy elsewhere, so that ultimately the body can work more in alignment and at a better frequency whilst bringing a sense of relaxation. All feels deliciously interwoven to give a sense of wellbeing, a strong treatment releasing but no elbows into areas to cause pain. Once turned over some release around the face, head & scalp to quieten the mind, massaging the arms, tummy area, down the legs and closing with some reflexology to pull everything together so more open to healing & expanding. All the while nicely covered with soft blankets, heated towels for feet, & a heated blanket underneath to deepen the experience, the body temperature drops during a massage process (unless going through a heat phase of life in which case we can ease off).  

You can leave looking a little oily of head but it’s worth it. 

An in-depth treatment to really allow some deep rest, unwinding & time on the couch. Seasonal spring (doesn’t have to be in spring) clean to energise the body, reboot different systems with lots of fine detailed work like the stitching on the fine pattern on to a quilt. An all over balancer and back to centre. Weaving in reflexology, facial therapy, healing & aura work, all within a full body aromatherapy massage. Highly recommend this 4 times a year as the seasons change or if you have been through a physical or emotional time, are feeling exhausted or fatigued.
