What Is Holistic Body Massage?

Jean Foley - Holistic Body Massage Massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, performed with the hands. It affects the body, mind and spirit. Massage can be adapted to suit individual needs.

Massage has been used medically as a therapeutic healing treatment and also for invigorating, soothing and beautifying the body throughout the centuries since the earliest civilisations. Massage is an instinctive act for relieving pain and discomfort and for soothing and calming.

Hot And Cold Stone Massage Therapy

Hot and Cold Stone massage is positioned as an all round treatment, suited to those looking for stress release, relaxation and balancing.

This feeling of deep relaxation is combined with deep tissue manipulation that is often less painful than normal massage therapy as the muscles have been thoroughly warmed.

The combination of hot and cold stones provides therapeutic balance. Heated stones increase blood circulation, lymph and digestive fluids and have sedating effects and the cold stones stimulate the nervous system, increase metabolism and invigorate.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a truly holistic therapy, taking into account the mind, body and spirit of the person seeking help, as well as their lifestyle etc.

Aromatherapy Massage

Massage with essential oils is the most important method of treatment, for it combines the effects of the oils themselves, with the important element of human contact between the aromatherapist and the person seeking help.

Jean also makes creams and lotions which are tailored to the individuals needs.
