I get asked quite a lot what the word “holistic” in my brand actually means.
Usually followed by something like:
“Right… but you don’t really do the holistic stuff I was expecting?” 😅
And fair enough! A lot of people hear “holistic” and picture incense, chanting, floaty gowns and deep spiritual awakening — meanwhile I’m over here asking about your sleep, stress levels, workload and whether you’ve overdone it at the gym again 🙃
So here’s what holistic means to me:
It simply means I look at the whole person, not just the sore bit you’ve come in with.
Because pain isn’t just about muscles — it’s also shaped by things like:
• how busy or stressed life is
• how much rest you actually get
• past injuries
• worries about movement
• beliefs about pain
• whether your body ever gets a proper breather
Massage and hands-on work absolutely help — they can ease tension, calm the nervous system and help you feel more comfortable. I genuinely love that part of what I do.
But they’re just one piece of the puzzle 🧩
So my style of “holistic” often looks like:
✨ a proper chat about what’s really going on
✨ reassurance about what’s safe
✨ pacing things so your body has a chance to recover
✨ giving you tools — not just treatment
✨ and yes… still doing massage when it’s helpful 💆♂️💆♀️
And just to be clear — there is absolutely nothing wrong with booking a massage simply because it feels nice. That benefit really matters.
But when I say holistic, I mean I’m interested in you as a whole human — your life, your stress, your goals, your habits, your story — and I use hands-on treatment as one helpful part of supporting that.
So if you’ve ever wondered what “holistic” means around here…
It’s not mystical. It’s not magical.
It’s simply whole-person care, honesty, and a chat that makes sense — with a bit of kindness along the way ❤️
