MASSAGE - THE HEALING POWER OF TOUCH
For centuries, the benefits of touch have been celebrated and sought after and in many cultures it is simply part of the lifestyle. We know the healing quality of touch instinctively and so when we are hurt, whether physically or emotionally, we will often place our hand over the sore spot, in an attempt to soothe, relieve and comfort.
MORE ABOUT MASSAGE
Happily nowadays, in the Occident, the general public's awareness and recognition of the benefits of therapeutic massage is finally being acknowledged and has evolved to encompass overall physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Massage can energise or relax, assist with sleep issues, regulate moods, stimulate mental activity and promote healing and repair. Most people come to massage through pain and trauma. However, what if massage was a way to appreciate and spend time with the most important person in your life - You?
Each massage session is adapted to the individual and what they require in the moment. It is an intimate means of communication with you, your body and the practitioner. During a massage, I hold the space for the client and through touch invite them to relaxation and to expansion, if they so choose.
It is important to have an awareness and acceptance of your body following the massage. Sometimes, pain or stiffness is experience more acutely following a session. This is often simply the body releasing toxins and trauma and re-adjusting itself. Be gentle with yourself during the hours or few days following your massage and allow for lots of rest and liquid intake. Contact your massage practitioner if you have any major concerns.
If you have had a discouraging experiencing with massage in the past, please don't let this stop you from having a new experience. Every practitioner is also a unique person, as are you and it is fundamental to find someone with whom you feel safe and comfortable. This may take time, however, this process installs trust and as a consequence the opportunity for even greater relaxation and a sense of well-being.
Please always have a good hygiene when going for a full body massage. A lovely shower or soak prior to a massage prepares the body for the relaxation to follow. It will also allow your body to fully benefit from the hydration that comes through the oil or wax used during the treatment.
I offer the following types of massage :
Relaxation, Pregnancy, Lomi Lomi, Energy, Blissed-Out: Feet, Hands, Head.!

RELAXATION
Swedish massage is the most common form of massage in the West today and it is used as moderate amount of pressure to provide a firm stimulating massage. The pressure is always adapted to the client. The aim is to warm up and soften the muscles, encouraging them to release and then relax. Applied acupressure and focused breathing are used in unison to provide a deeper tissue session.
This is usually a full body treatment, including the stomach area and hands and feet, to provide an effective and holistic result. Often tension will show up in a specific area of the body, however its origin very often lies elsewhere. By targetting the whole body, all aspects can be covered.
My own personal style has developed over the years and been influenced by other body therapy styles. I use a firm pressure lighter, not deep tissue, that enduces relaxation of the body and mind. My sessions often "put people to sleep", leaving them feeling rested and rejuvenate. Relaxation is a mental state, that can be attained by passage of the body. Only when the mind releases does true relaxation occur. I am here to support you and your body in experiencing this.

PREGNANCY
Today, more women are realising the benefits of pre- and post-natal massage and that it is safe. Once the trying to fall pregnant and first semester period has passed, it is highly recommended to receive regular massages.
Whilst pregnant, this massage is performed with the mother to be lying on here side, plumped up comfortable by pillows and covered by a sheet or blanket. The pressure applied is generally really light and featherlike, with a bit firmer pressure applied to the upper back and shoulder and neck regions and little and soft strokes applied to the lower back.
Massage eases water retention greatly and can also help to reconnect with one's own body, affording a feeling of relaxation and physical release. When Mum is relaxed, baby picks up on this and enjoys it too.

ENERGY
With this type of massage, I combine energy work within the setting of a massage. The massage itself takes on the form of the energy that is showing up at the time. So whilst it may appear to be a classic massage, I will be channelling energy whilst I liaise with you and your body. There may be moments of pure energy work or not, intermingled with the physical massage strokes. Expect the unexpected.

LOMI LOMI
This has been called the Rolls Royce of massage and is not for the timid and prudish. Performed with the client usually naked and a towel for privacy, this is a full and complete body massage. It can often be performed by several therapists simultaneously.
Described as a dance or prayer, long sweeping strokes and stretching movements are used all over the body. The connection between the therapist and the client is intimate and sensual, creating a space of relaxation, ease and enjoyment for both body and mind. Because the body is often massaged in different areas at once, the mind and the muscles, unable to focus on two
points simultaneously, finally releases and quietens.
