What 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.

Where to find it in Liverpool
From Thursday the waterfront hotels around the Albert Dock and Liverpool ONE fill with visitors, and mobile bookings to hotels account for much of the week's work; by Monday the same therapists are quiet and easier to book at short notice. The centre is walkable end to end, so a therapist listing in the city centre can reach most hotels on foot and the distinction between areas matters less than in Manchester or Leeds. Aigburth and Woolton are genuinely residential, serving a local, repeat clientele with Swedish, hot stone and pregnancy treatments.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a massage holistic?
The approach. The therapist considers your overall wellbeing, not just where it hurts, and adapts the session to your emotional state as well as your muscles. The techniques themselves are mostly familiar Swedish and aromatherapy strokes.
Is holistic massage the same as reiki?
No, though some therapists combine them. Reiki is a hands-on or hands-off energy practice with no massage; holistic massage is a physical treatment given with a whole-person mindset.
How much does holistic massage cost?
Between £45 and £80 an hour, in line with other relaxation-based treatments.
