Massage benefits both the body and mind. It is rare that we take an hour to lie down, close our eyes and just 'be'. An hour's peace and quiet away from everything has a definite restorative effect.
Massage is the best way to relax both physically and mentally bringing the body back into homeostasis; the bodies own natural state of balance and harmony.
'Holistic' comes from the greek word 'Holos' meaning 'whole' therefore treating the whole person and not just the physical aspect.
The Holistic approach aims to use relaxation, stimulation and invigoration of the muscles through the use of varying massage techniques bringing our body back into balance.
Each massage is wonderfully relaxing using original Swedish Massage techniques and using organic aromatic oils/waxes to help relieve those general aches and pains. Pressure remains as light or firm as you wish and all treatments cater towards the needs of the individual.
Emma also uses Hot stones in her massage practise.
What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage has to be one of the most enjoyable and relaxing therapeutic massages available. For hundreds of years, hot stone massage has been used by many different cultures and modern-day therapists apply the same techniques for a wonderfully relaxing massage designed to work on muscle tension at the deepest level.
During the hot stone massage treatment, smooth, basaltic (volcanic) rocks that have been heated in water are used in two ways; some stones are wrapped in towels and placed on specific energy centres, known as chakras, along the body to align and re-balance the body’s natural energy flow, whilst other stones are used by the therapist to perform the body massage.
The heat of the stones penetrates deep into the muscle tissue allowing the muscles to relax 4-5 times quicker than in a standard body massage, easing muscle tension and revitalising the muscle tissue by increasing blood circulation.
Emma is a fully qualified and insured therapist with a VTCT diploma in Holistic/Swedish and Hot Stone Massage.
Treatments take place in the peace and tranquillity of the studio, with an atmosphere of music and candles to create a magical healing atmosphere. In some treatments crystals will be used to deepen the benefit of the treatment.
