Mother’s Day is this Sunday 🌸
If you’re still looking for a thoughtful gift, a massage voucher is a beautiful way to give someone the chance to slow down, switch off and feel truly looked after.
Mums spend so much of their lives caring for everyone else — this is a small way to give something back.
I’m also feeling incredibly grateful this week to have been nominated for Best Wellbeing Specialist in the Muddy Stiletto Awards. Thank you so much to everyone who supports Holistic Ivy — whether that’s booking treatments, sharing posts or voting. It means a lot.
Digital vouchers are available if you need a last-minute gift. Link in comments.

Before every treatment, I start here.
A little look inside my modern day apothecary.
Each essential oil has its own purpose — calming the nervous system, grounding the mind, or helping the body release tension.
Today’s blend: geranium, frankincense, lavender and a touch of peppermint.
Soft, grounding, and just enough freshness to help you breathe a little deeper.
Every blend is chosen slowly and with intention, creating a scent that supports your treatment and helps you fully switch off.
🌿
Do you have a favourite scent?

You next Tuesday 🤍
There is availability throughout the day next Tuesday, the rest of March is almost fully booked, so this is one of the last flexible days available for a while.
If your shoulders have been carrying more than they need to…
If your sleep hasn’t felt fully restorative…
If your mind hasn’t properly switched off lately…
This is your gentle nudge.
Deep massage.
Grounding aromatherapy.
Warm, muscle-softening hot stones.
No rushing in.
No rushing out.
Just proper time for your body to reset.

She deserves the world.
A massage is a good place to start.
For someone who gives so much of herself —
who shows up, steadies others, and keeps everything moving —
this is a gift that lets her stop for a while.
Time to be cared for.
Time to soften.
Time that’s just for her.
Mother’s Day gift vouchers are available.

A moment of care — just for you.
An invitation to take time for a facial treatment that is unhurried, soothing, and deeply restorative — a chance to lie back, rest, and be cared for with intention.
Gentle cleansing, warm towels, and mindful touch help the body soften and the mind slow, creating space to fully switch off while the skin is supported. Thoughtfully chosen Neal’s Yard Remedies products are used throughout, bringing a sense of calm and nourishment to the experience.
This is time to rest your eyes, settle your nervous system, and enjoy being looked after — leaving you feeling refreshed, grounded, and quietly renewed.
No effort required.
Just arrive, get comfortable, and enjoy the experience.

Horrible things I’ve said to my clients…
Calm voice. Soft lighting. Still devastating.
If you know, you know. 🤍

This space is for you if…
You’re often the one holding everything together.
If your shoulders sit high without you noticing.
If your mind stays busy even when you finally stop.
You don’t need to arrive relaxed.
You don’t need to know exactly what you need.
You just need space to slow down, and someone to support your body as it does.
Every treatment here is guided by how you’re feeling on the day — with firm, considered touch and an unhurried pace.
If you’ve been thinking about booking, you’re very welcome here 🤍

Warm stones.
Slow hands.
Time that isn’t rushed.
Heat allows the body to soften in a way that touch alone sometimes can’t — easing tension layer by layer until there’s nothing left to hold.
A quiet kind of relief 🤍

A calm space to land 🤍

No pushing through.
Just supportive care, at your pace.
If you’ve been thinking about booking when the timing feels right, you’re always welcome here.

A thoughtful way to gift care 🤍
Valentine’s doesn’t have to be loud or last-minute.
Sometimes the most meaningful gift is time to slow down, rest, and feel supported.

E-gift vouchers are available instantly, and paper vouchers can be collected from Sorella reception.
No pressure — just care, given gently.

When your head feels heavy and your mind won’t switch off.
Indian Head Massage focuses on releasing tension held in the head and scalp, neck, and shoulders — areas that often carry the weight of busy days and full minds.
Using firm, deeply grounding pressure through the scalp, alongside steady work through the neck and shoulders, this treatment helps ease built-up tension and bring the body back into balance.
It’s particularly supportive if you’re experiencing:
• Tension headaches
• Neck and shoulder tightness
• Mental overload or restlessness
• A need for relief without a full-body massage
This is a firm, deep massage — designed to release held tension rather than lightly skim the surface.
The pressure is intentional and reassuring — never light or ticklish — and always guided by how your body responds on the day.
A focused reset to help you feel clearer, lighter, and more settled 🤍

Welcome to my Therapy Page.
Here is a little insight to Holistic Ivy, or just Ivy... because that's my name.
Qualifying in 2015 from Bridgewater College with a Distinction Level 3 Diploma in Complementary Therapies- Swedish Massage, Aromatherapy Massage and Essential Oils, Reflexology and Anatomy and Pathology.
I began to practice as a graduate, offering a lower cost clinic from Neal’s Yard Remedies in Taunton to build my experience and knowledge. Business grew and flourished whilst I gained valuable knowledge in Covent Gardens NYR product school, then further adding to my list of therapies completed Hot Stone Massage and Indian Head massage qualifications.
In 2016 I wanted to further my skills as a therapist so I went to Bath to work at one of the most famous spas in England, The Thermae Bath Spa, gaining spa qualities to my treatments and really adding those special touches to already indulgent therapies.
Having learned a great deal in a fast paced spa, I greatly missed my home town, my own business and having a valuable and un-rushed amount of time with my clients, so returned to Taunton in 2017.
From then and to the present day, I am treating at Neal's Yard Remedies, Taunton. This small sanctuary is a haven for anyone who wants to escape, relax and be in a place of calm. I offer a variety of treatments throughout the week on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
I use this platform to show gratitude towards nature, share tips on keeping calm, valuable essential oil blends & anything particularly calming, interesting or lovely (also treatment availability and information!) I try to keep it fresh, real and positive so follow me on my holistic journey. Also on instagram @HolisticIvy & website my www.holisticivy.co.uk
