Holistic means whole.
It’s an ancient way to see people in their totality. Body, mind and emotions are all connected. Personal circumstances, environment, relationships and how we see the world all impact our well-being. We cannot live a fulfilling and happy life if we are out of balance, dissociated and fragmented.
Holistic therapies can also work well alongside conventional medicine and help them to resolve some issues where medication may have failed.
My passion is to listen to a clients’s needs and I work holistically to help you to become aware of yourself and to find your own way to restore a sense of balance on a Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual plan.
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic massage that works on the deep layers of muscle tissue with long and slow strokes to treat the muscles deeply. Pressure is controlled and adapted to your preference.
It is perfect for general tension and stress, and for paying attention to specific areas of the body with chronic aches and pain, muscle tension, supporting injury recovery, increasing mobility, bringing oxygen and blood back to the muscles.
Swedish Massage is the classic and most common type of massage treatment, perfect to relax both body and mind.

Cupping therapy comes from Chinese Medicine, even though its roots have ancient origins. The first known usage of cupping was discovered in Egypt and it has been practiced in many other cultures around the world.
Cupping works on both the muscles and on the meridians of the body.It is especially effective when used to help to relieve acute and chronic pain. It’s also a short stand-alone treatment.
Cupping works as a deep tissue massage increasing blood circulation and removing toxins like lactic acid from the affected area of the body. It also activates the immune system and acupuncture points.
Cupping is a painless therapy and consists of applying cups to the body for 10 to 20 minutes at a time.
The cups cause suction on the skin, allowing more blood with oxygen and nutrients to flow freely into the treated area, stimulating the natural healing process.After a cupping treatment it is common to observe some marks or bruising, which may remain for some days.This is indicative of an effective treatment.
Cupping can help with all muscular and joint issues around the body and helps manage anxiety and stress.
Every treatment starts with a consultation to understand your needs, your habits on a daily basis, and possible contraindications to create a bespoke, personal treatment plan, with a combination of organic blended oils.
I work with a range of techniques, depending on your needs including traditional Deep Tissue techniques, Swedish techniques,Trigger Point Therapy (TrP),Neuromuscular techniques(NMT), Stretching and Cupping.
