Feeling wired but exhausted is more common than you think.
It’s when the body is stuck in “go” mode, even though you’re tired —
tight shoulders, shallow breathing, restless sleep, a mind that won’t switch off.
Massage helps by gently signalling safety to the nervous system.
Slow, rhythmic touch encourages the body to shift out of stress mode and into rest.
Breathing deepens. Muscles soften. The mind quiets.
It’s not about pressure or pushing through.
It’s about creating the conditions for your body to unwind on its own.
If you’ve been running on empty lately, this is your reminder:
rest is not a reward — it’s a necessity 🤍

Pregnancy massage is about care, not just comfort.
From the oils I choose to the way your body is supported on the couch, everything is adapted for pregnancy — safely, gently, and with intention.
This treatment is designed to:
• Ease lower back and hip tension
• Support tired legs and swollen feet
• Calm the nervous system
• Create space to rest and feel held
Using pregnancy-safe oils and slow, grounding touch, this massage offers time to soften, breathe, and reconnect with your body as it changes.
A quiet pause.
A moment of reassurance.
Care for you, as you carry new life 🤍

Sometimes the body whispers before it shouts.
Tired shoulders that never quite drop.
A jaw that stays clenched without you noticing.
Restless sleep, even when you’re exhausted.
That feeling of being wired… but deeply tired.
When life feels busy, the body often asks for slowing down — not pushing through.
Massage isn’t a luxury.
It’s a reset for the nervous system.
A chance to soften, breathe, and come back into yourself.
No fixing.
No rushing.
Just space to rest 🤍

Aromatherapy massage is about more than scent — it’s about how the body responds to it. 🤍
Lavender is one of the oils I return to again and again for its ability to calm, steady, and gently support both body and mind.
For centuries, it’s been associated with rest and protection — tucked into pillows, placed near doorways, used to soften heavy days and encourage deeper sleep.
In aromatherapy massage, lavender is often chosen when the body needs reassurance rather than intensity… when slowing down is the medicine.
A gentle oil, with a long history of care 🌿

I’m so grateful to everyone who has booked in and trusted me with their rest and wellbeing this month.
I have just a few quiet spaces remaining in the final week - including shorter sessions if you’re needing something gentle but supportive.
If your body has been asking for some support, February is open for bookings - a lovely chance to start the next month with a little more softness, space and time for yourself.

Otherwise, I’d love to welcome you in during February.

For when your body feels cold, tight, or deeply tired 🤍
Hot Stone Massage uses gentle warmth to help muscles soften more quickly - allowing tension to melt away without the body needing to work so hard.
The heat encourages deeper relaxation, slower breathing, and that heavy, rested feeling that lingers long after the treatment ends.
Ideal if you’re craving warmth, comfort, and deeper rest during the colder months.

A little sanctuary for when everything feels heavy. 🤍
So grateful to be settling into Sorella Collective Salon - a space created with intention so you can arrive just as you are, slow down a little, and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more settled.
A place to:
✨ stop carrying quite so much
✨ gently release what’s been building up
✨ feel supported rather than “strong”
✨ rest without guilt
My hope is that from the moment you walk in, you feel safe, comfortable, and quietly looked after 🤍
If your body is asking for this kind of support, you are so welcome here.

This is for the people carrying life in their shoulders 🤍
When life feels full, it’s often the shoulders, neck and head that take the weight - the places that quietly store tension while you keep going.
Back, Head & Foot Massage is one of the most grounding treatments, gently supporting the areas that work the hardest for you.
The scalp massage is often the part clients tell me they didn’t realise they needed.
Slow, soothing movements across the head help melt through that “buzzing” feeling that comes from thinking, planning, worrying and constantly being switched on.
It can help the jaw soften, the forehead relax, and the nervous system begin to settle.
Paired with focused back work and supportive foot massage, this treatment helps the body feel lighter, calmer, and more supported overall.
Ideal if you’re mentally busy, physically tight, or struggling to fully switch off - especially if you hold stress in your upper body.
🤍 If this sounds like the kind of support your body needs, I’d love to look after you.

Stress doesn’t arrive all at once - it settles quietly in the body 🤍
It can show up as shallow breathing, a tight jaw, restless sleep, or that “on edge” feeling you can’t quite explain.
Supporting your nervous system early can make a real difference before tension builds.
Holistic massage encourages the body to move out of stress mode and into rest-and-repair - leaving you feeling calmer, more settled, and better supported as routine returns.
A gentle option if your body is feeling tense or overstimulated 💆‍♀️✨

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
