Holistic
literally means looking after or taking into consideration
the ‘Whole’ person; your physical, mental and emotional
states. Catherine trained in Holistic Massage at Richdales
Institute in London, qualifying with an ITEC diploma
in Anatomy
& Physiology and Massage Therapy with Credit in
October 2002.
With the client relaxing on a heated massage plinth,
Catherine uses Swedish, pressure-point, deep tissue and
lymphatic drainage techniques, tailoring each treatment to
how the individual feels on the day.
As with all therapies at Indigo Holistics, a consultation
will be taken before the treatment to assess areas of
tension and stress, pinpointing which massage techniques
will be of most value to the client, choosing a suitable
oil or cream for the skin, and establishing if there are
any contra-indications to the treatment. In this way,
Catherine can create a unique treatment plan with and for
each client.
The whole idea behind massage therapy is to stimulate the
blood and lymphatic systems, helping the body to release
and eliminate toxins and rebalance itself. A very
beneficial therapy for aching muscles and areas of tension,
massage is a perfect maintenance therapy to help keep the
body fit and well. Massage also encourages the body to make
Oxytocin and release endorphins, helping to reduce stress
and promote happiness.
An organic oil, or plant-based vegan balm or cream is
chosen to suit your skin; this could be a blend of Apricot
Kernel oil, Evening Primrose, Macadamia, Olive, Sunflower
or even Coconut to mention but a few - there are over 15 at
least to choose from, each with unique properties.
See Aromatherapy for more
information about the oils; you may also like to
see Aromatherapy
Massage for
information on massage using essential oils.
There are occasions where a client may feel a little
head-achey or tired following a treatment, especially if
they have not had a massage for a long time. This is simply
a result of the body having a good work out and symptoms
should pass in the following 12 hours when the body has had
a chance to clear out toxins. The client is encouraged to
drink plenty of water and should feel stronger and clearer
the following day.
Massage treatments can be cumultative, meaning that a
course of treatments might be recommended to help fully
facilitate rebalance.
When booking a course of 3 massage treatments, your 4th is
free.

*Massage
should never be regarded as an alternative to orthodox
medical treatment, but should rather complement it. If you
are receiving treatment or medication from your doctor, it
may be necessary to check with your GP before having a
treatment. Please make the practitioner aware of all
relevant medical history and alert her to any allergies you
have. Massage should be avoided during the first 12 weeks
of pregnancy. The therapist cannot and does not diagnose or
treat illnesses of any kind.
