Holistic Massage

The word holistic is derived from the Greek word “holos” meaning whole. The aim of holistic massage is to identify the cause of a symptom, and how this affects the whole body. Massage therapy encourages the body towards homeostasis, the state of being in balance. Here are a few of the advantages of holistic massage.

Physical benefits:

  • Helps relieve stress and aids relaxation
  • Helps relax muscle tension and stiffness
  • Provides greater joint flexibility and range of motion
  • Improves circulation of blood and movement of lymph fluids
  • Reduces blood pressure
  • Helps relieve tension-related headaches
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Eases musculoskeletal problems

Mental benefits:

  • Promotes a relaxed state of mental alertness
  • Helps relieve mental stress
  • Improves your ability to monitor stress signals and respond appropriately
  • Encourages feelings of well-being
  • Reduces levels of anxiety
  • Increases awareness of mind-body connection

Laura can provide a primary consultation to identify how aspects of your daily life are affecting your muscle tension.

“I rarely feel as relaxed as I do getting a massage from Laura, sometimes I nearly fall asleep on the table”
“She really works out the pain in my neck and shoulders…
I always feel fitter and more flexible after a treatment”

Thermal Auricular Therapy (Ear Candling)

Thermal Auricular Therapy can provide relaxation and relief if you are suffering from blocked sinuses or head tension. Laura uses Biosun ear candles which are made from completely natural beeswax, honey extract and various herbs.

Laura inserts the candle gently into each ear in turn while you are lying on your side. She then lights it and you will hear a light crackling sound and a feeling of warmth. After the candling is completed Laura performs a lymphatic drainage massage including sinus and head pressure points on your face, helping to alleviate the blockage or tension naturally, efficiently and drug free.

If a block of treatments is booked discount will be given, and ear candling can also be added to a massage treatment.
