Nothing at Hannah Holistics is an accident (almost!) right down to my choice of oil for your massage. Of all the oils and butters I have trialled over the years, Jojoba has proved to be my favourite massage oil for its lovely consistency and therapeutic benefits.

This wonderful oil has been described as the “wondrous gift of the desert” with a mystical ability to heal skin cuts and sores.

Native American tribes use Jojoba on their skin and hair to protect against the drying sun of the desert. They ease aches and pains, heal skin abrasions and also treat inflammation and wounds with this natural oil.

Jojoba oil is a sustainable oil created from seeds of a desert shrub which makes it ethical and safe to use on those with nut allergies. It has even helped to save the s***m whale due to its properties being incredibly similar to the wax once harvested from these wonderful creatures.

Therapeutic properties include anti-inflammatory agents beneficial for arthritis and rheumatism. Balancing properties for psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. The molecular structure is very similar to our skins own sebum which makes it an excellent choice for those struggling with blocked pores.

Have you ever pulled onto a slip road only to realise that you can’t quite turn your head to look over your shoulder like you used to?

Maybe you have to sit down to put your socks on now or you just make a few too many groany noises when you get out of your chair.

These things can creep up on us like a stealthy predator on a dark night and often we don’t even realise things are changing until we are pinned down by injury or illness.

There is a way you can improve your quality of life, and it doesn’t involve £100 leggings and a swishy ponytail. There are no toe-touching entry exams or carnivore exclusion zones. EVERYONE can benefit from yoga.

Yoga can help improve so many aspects of your life, from range of motion, flexibility and strength through to body awareness and managing your nervous system.

If you choose to try a one-to-one yoga class, you won’t have to worry about what to wear or if the class is going to be too challenging for you, everything will be tailored exactly to your requirements and you are invited to ask as many questions as you like throughout your lesson.

My home yoga studio is private and warm, and you will have my full attention. You can choose a beginner friendly lesson or a more challenging sequence, focus on flexibility or strength, take a longer or shorter shavasana (the meditation at the end). You are free to choose your own adventure.

I am qualified in Hatha and Yin with a deep appreciation for vinyasa and ashtanga too. I also have additional qualifications and experience in yoga nidra (guided meditations).

If this all sounds like way too much choice and you don’t know where to start, we can have a chat about where you are now and where you would like to be and put something together from there.

Most progress in yoga comes when we step off the mat and realise that our practice has led us to live with more vitality. Those moments when we can turn to look over our shoulder or put our socks on without even thinking about it. That’s where the magic happens and that is where you deserve to be.

Drop me an email if you would like some more information on your yoga one-to-one.

Indian Head Massage

For the Indian Head Massage you will sit on a stool and lean forward slightly onto my head cradle with a sarong wrapped around you (as you would wrap a towel around you). We can set the height of the couch and head cradle to fit your physique to make sure you are the most comfortable you can be. I use coconut oil to nourish and condition your hair and also incorporate the hot stones and warm bamboo sticks as the IHM is the perfect opportunity to get deeper into the neck and trapezius muscles. The IHM is a mixture of stimulating scalp massage techniques and deeply soothing heated upper back massage. I strongly advise that you don’t make any dinner plans immediately after this treatment as oil in the hair is unavoidable.

Wow, the dark nights are really setting in now. 🌙

I’ve been using a Lumie Lamp for a few years and can honestly say it’s the most important part of my winter care routine.

Just 15-20 minutes each morning with a 10000 lux lamp can have such positive effects on your mental wellbeing and it’s so easy to fit in to your schedule as the newer models are so much more slimline.

💡 you can use your lamp at your desk or sit with your morning coffee with it close by.

💡 you don’t need to look directly into the light but the light must reach your eyes. I have mine on my knee when I’m having my breakfast.

💡 they aren’t overly expensive but do make sure you get at least 10000 lux. It’s best to buy the best you can afford but there’s no need to break the bank.

💡 timing recommendations vary but the most important thing is consistency.

💡 it isn’t advised that you use your lamp after midday unless you are using it to regulate sleep patterns for shift work.

I feel it’s important to say that I have only ever struggled with mild to moderate depression and anxiety but my heart is filled with compassion for any fellow human who struggles.

I know it’s easy for me to say but please remember that you are not alone if you feel blue during the darker months.

It’s only 4 weeks until the solstice and the light will slowly return 🙌 ☀️

This too shall pass pass. 🤍

Thai Compress Massage

Imagine, if you will, the finest Thai herbs beautifully selected and prepared on a muslin cloth. The muslin cloth is then carefully tied and heated in a hot water steamer. Once heated to a therapeutic temperature, they are gently placed on your sore muscles to ease away any tension. I don’t bother firing up my essential oil diffuser for this treatment as the scent of the compresses speaks for itself and needs no competition. You can even take home the compress dumplings to recreate this beautiful aroma in your own home. As with the Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage, a full body massage will usually incorporate the back, back of legs, front of legs neck and shoulders. I normally add feet, arms, hands and scalp to the 90m but all massage treatments are bespoke so if you want arms in the 60m or some more time on the feet, just say and we can mix it up any way you need.

I’ll get real with you all. I get overwhelmed really easily.

I run my own business doing what is probably too many things from Yin yoga and Thai Foot Massage to Vinyasa flow and Deep Tissue Massage. I travel around for yoga classes, manage my own bookings, run my own website and do my own marketing. I wouldn’t have it any other way and know how lucky I am to have the privileges that self-employment brings but I often catch myself trying to be all things to all people and that’s when I fall off the tightrope.

I know from speaking to many of you that I’m not the only one to feel this way and women especially can feel the burden of extra-curricular tasks.

I’m sorry to say that I don’t have any guaranteed solutions for you, but I do have a few ways of dealing with the suffocating paralysis that comes with this type of anxiety. Some may work and some may not.

Head over to my blog to read how I deal with overwhelm

Fascia has been one of my passions for a long time now, which is why I have been more drawn to Yin yoga than any other style.

Fascia is fascinating. It isn’t just the inanimate shrink wrap that encapsulates all the important stuff – it is the important stuff! Fascia is alive and responsive; it responds to stress and even has an emotional memory.

This magical substance has more pain receptors that muscle and is almost as sensitive as our skin, which makes sense when 85% of back pain and 55% of neck pain is thought to be due to fascia restriction. Damaged fascia often contains more pain receptors than healthy fascia so it’s easy to see how lack of movement and pain can work together to make your problems even worse.

Many factors can contribute to restriction in our fascia including dehydration as fascia is 75% water and can easily become ‘sticky’ without the required water content. Repetitive movement, trauma and scar tissue can also cause shrinkage and movement restriction resulting in further compression of fascia nerves and fatigue.

So how can you help yourself if you have fascial pain. Fascia is weird stuff that sets in place when cold and still but becomes fluid and malleable when warm and mobile. It responds very well to heat and regular movement, both of which can improve pain significantly.

Acupuncture, foam rolling, stretching and anti-inflammatory diet can help hugely with fascia pain. Massage has been proven under ultrasound to rehydrate fascia, like wringing out a dirty sponge and watching it fill up with clean water again, so make sure you rehydrate with plenty of water once your massage is over – ‘drink plenty of water’ isn’t just a soundbite.

When you’re thinking of booking a massage, it’s important to appreciate that sometimes pain doesn’t even originate in the painful area, the originating trigger point can be anywhere in the body. Neck pain has been known to originate in the foot or calf muscle so it might be worth booking a full body massage to ensure you get the whole body healing experience.

It's also important to advise at this point that, if your pain is severe or chronic, you should always seek medical attention.

Reflexology

Reflexology is my absolute favourite treatment to both receive and give. Each treatment is different and each pair of feet tells a unique story about its owner. Reflexology can be tailored to any health concerns you may have, for example, digestive, hormonal, sleep or nervous system issues. You can also have a set routine that is like a full body tune up. It is important to treat the whole body as symptoms can originate and display absolutely anywhere in the body. Reflexology should not be painful although some points on the feet may feel a little more noticeable than others if there are any issues or energy blocks there.
