Holistic Massage techniques work to treat the body as one entity, not only looking at symptoms but establishing the cause; whether this is internal or external. The aim is to rebalance the body to a state of homeostasis encouraging all of the systems of the body to work to their optimum level; including the immune system, digestive system, hormonal system and the muscular-skeletal system. Causes of physical conditions are often caused or exasperated by emotional stresses, nutrition and lifestyle as well as physical strains. Holistic massage therapy employs a variety of techniques that trigger the parasympathetic system allowing the body to fully relax as well as feel re-energised.

Deep Tissue massage is ideal for those who have specific problem areas of hyper-tension, general muscular aches and pains and to assist in the rehabilitation of muscular and skeletal injuries. Deep tissue techniques work to release built up toxins in painful muscles by manipulating muscle fibres whilst moving fresh blood, nutrients and oxygen in to the problem areas to allow for a more efficient working muscular system. Relaxation is encouraged so the body's systems can work at an optimum level providing a general feeling of better well-being. Deep tissue can help those suffering with muscular and postural problems, joint troubles, ligament and tendon issues as well as tension related headaches.

Amy has worked with Golborne Place since it opened in 2009 as receptionist and now studio manager. Since being part of Golborne Place she became intrigued and enthralled by the ability of therapists and teachers alike to have such profound effects on the wellbeing of those who seek to improve both on a physical and emotional level. As an artist who is intrigued by the behaviours, beliefs and mental states of the human species, as well as a dedicated gyrotonic student, training as a therapist herself seemed like the next step in a journey towards self-knowledge.
