About the Massage
Holistic massage in a tranquil bush setting
Holistic massage therapy targets our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing by regulating the nervous system — alleviating muscle tension, reducing emotional stress and working to achieve a state of stillness in both body and mind.
I use a blend of Swedish and deep tissue massage techniques, both of which offer significant benefits for regulating the nervous system. These methods work synergistically to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
Swedish Massage Techniques
Swedish massage is characterised by long, flowing strokes, kneading, and gentle manipulations of the muscles. This technique primarily targets the superficial layers of muscle and is highly effective in regulating the nervous system in most people. Swedish massage induces a state of relaxation, reducing the production of stress hormones like cortisol and promoting the release of endorphins. Clients often experience a profound sense of calm and a quieter mind, which is essential for managing daily stressors.
Deep tissue techniques
Deep tissue massage, on the other hand, focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It employs slower strokes and more intense pressure to address chronic muscle tension and adhesions. This technique is particularly beneficial for relieving tension in the neck and shoulders, areas commonly affected by stress. By releasing these deep-seated tensions, deep tissue massage not only alleviates physical discomfort but also enhances the body's ability to recover and restore balance.
Together, these massage techniques support nervous system regulation by reducing muscle tension, promoting relaxation and a felt sense of safety in the body, and fostering a sense of being cared for and seen. Many people leave their sessions feeling restored and empowered, with increased capacity to face the challenges of daily life with a sense of calm and resilience.
