ExclusiveVerified listingWhat is holistic massage?
Holistic massage treats the person rather than the symptom. The session starts with a conversation about how you are — sleep, stress, work, mood, physical complaints — and the therapist shapes the treatment around that, drawing on Swedish massage, aromatherapy, gentle stretching, breathing and sometimes energy work such as reiki.
The pressure is generally light to medium and the pace slow, with attention to the nervous system and to emotional release as well as to muscle. It suits people going through a difficult period, recovering from illness, or carrying stress that shows up in the body as much as the mind, and it is often chosen by those who find purely physical treatments miss something.
Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes and are as likely to be offered by a therapist who also practises counselling, yoga or reiki as by a spa. It is one of the more variable treatments in the directory, so read the profile closely to see what a particular therapist's version includes.
Read the full guide to holistic massage — what it involves, who it suits and what it costs. Also known as holistic therapy massage, mind and body massage and wellbeing massage.
Where to find it in Bristol
Ninety minutes is the standard booking rather than the upgrade, a noticeable share of therapists hold yoga, reiki or counselling qualifications alongside massage, and the consultation at the start of a first session tends to be longer. Clifton has the best-regarded and most expensive end, often in dedicated treatment rooms above the shops on Whiteladies Road, and it is the place to find shiatsu, lomi lomi and pregnancy specialists. Redland is its quieter residential neighbour; Harbourside covers the hotels and the mobile trade.
