INTUITIVE MASSAGE / HOLISTIC MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage has been used for physical and emotional wellbeing for millennia and involves the manipulation of soft body tissue including muscles. Our muscles contract and relax to enable us to move. They also define body shape, protect internal organs, stabilise joints during movement and help maintain posture.   

Intuitive massage doesn’t follow a pattern nor use set techniques but instead is guided by you and your needs on the day and uses a variety of methods.

Massage pressure can be gentle or firm, with deeper remedial work where needed, and can be anything from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on your needs and the time available.

As an indicative idea – although every treatment is tailored specifically to you – for a thorough ‘restorative’ massage, with plenty of time, please allow:

• Neck and shoulders – 30 minutes
• Middle and lower back – 30 minutes
• Arms and hands – 30 minutes
• Stomach, hips and glutes – 30 minutes
• Upper legs front and back – 30 minutes
• Lower legs and feet – 30 minutes

If there is significant physical pain / remedial work required, the times above could be doubled, or conversely a relaxing ‘light touch’ full body massage can be provided in 1.5 hours. If you’re not sure how long to book for, please contact me to discuss your current needs.

I can offer fully clothed and seated options for anyone with impaired mobility, or for anyone feeling self conscious, and am also training in Shiatsu so can incorporate some of these techniques if helpful / required.  Please contact me for details.
