About
Holistic therapies help our body’s systems to function more efficiently and can offer a much needed sanctuary from the frantic rush of life. They can also play a role in healing the body from common ailments in particular those related to stress and anxiety. My aim as a therapist is to provide complementary therapies where you feel you are treated as an individual and in a holistic manner which considers the person as a whole. Having regular massage treatments can help you to stay balanced both physically and mentally with studies suggesting that massage therapy can significantly reduce stress and be effective in helping to support people with certain chronic conditions such as low back pain.
I also offer massage treatments to adults with learning and/ or physical disabilities, having previously been employed in a supportive role in a day care setting. The sense of touch is a highly sensitive and powerful form of communication with results evident in my work with them. Massage can induce a sense of calmness and also provide valuable physical contact. It can improve muscle function, flexibility and range of motion for those confined to a wheelchair who may be suffering from atrophied muscle tone and reduced circulation.
I use oils from KOBASHI, a UK based company specialising in quality oils which are Animal-free and suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. I believe cold-pressed oils are more effective simply because they are made with ingredients that enhance the skin’s natural function rather than work against it. Having a massage in the comfort of your own home is the ultimate in convenience as you no longer need to waste time and effort travelling to appointments or hunting for a parking space … and you won’t have to venture outside into the cold afterwards! Please contact me if you have any questions about any of the therapies I offer.
Best wishes, Sam
