What Is 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.
