Massage Therapy: 3 Things I Wish Every Client Knew
Massage isn’t just a treat.
It’s not a “luxury.”
It’s one of the most powerful ways to bring your body, mind, and energy system back into balance.
After more than two decades as a holistic therapist, I’ve worked with every kind of client — from overworked professionals and new mums to healers, empaths, and those recovering from trauma or burnout. And time and again, the same three misconceptions come up.
So here are three things I wish every client knew about massage therapy — truths that could change how you see your body, your energy, and your wellbeing.
1. Massage Is Energy Work (Even When You Don’t Call It That)
Every massage — whether it’s Holistic Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, or a soothing Pregnancy Massage — works on more than muscle. It’s energy in motion.
When I work, I’m not just releasing tension; I’m helping your body process emotion, memory, and energy patterns stored deep in the tissues.
Think about it: your shoulders carry stress, your jaw holds unspoken words, your gut remembers fear.
Massage is the invitation to let it all go.
✨ Try:
- Holistic Massage – classic full-body massage combining physical release with energetic balance.
- Aromatherapy Massage – essential oil blends chosen intuitively to harmonise your nervous system.
- Restorative Massage – the perfect antidote to burnout and emotional fatigue.
2. “No Pain, No Gain” Is a Myth
You don’t have to suffer through a treatment to feel results. Pain often causes your body to tense up, which slows the healing process.
Gentle, flowing techniques — like Lymphatic Drainage Massage or Lomi Lomi Massage — can be just as effective as deep pressure, often more so when your nervous system is overwhelmed.
Your body responds best when it feels safe. That’s when true release happens.
✨ Try:
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage – encourages detoxification, reduces inflammation, and supports immunity.
- Lomi Lomi Massage – Hawaiian temple-style flowing movements that restore peace and presence.
- Pregnancy Massage – gentle support for mother and baby, easing back pain and anxiety.
3. Heat, Flow, and Intention Amplify Healing
Sometimes what your body needs most isn’t pressure — it’s warmth, rhythm, and intention.
That’s why I love integrating Hot Stones, Lava Shells, and Himalayan Salt Rocks into treatments. The heat allows muscles to soften faster, blood flow increases, and energy moves freely again.
The difference is often felt instantly — deep comfort, emotional release, and an almost meditative calm.
✨ Try:
- Hot & Cold Stone Massage – alternating temperatures for circulation, muscle relief, and grounding.
- Lava Shell Massage – eco-friendly shells radiate warmth to melt away stress.
- Hot Salt Rock Muscle Mend & Soothe – mineral-rich Himalayan salt to detox, remineralise, and soothe sore muscles.
Why Massage Is Essential — Not a Luxury
Massage therapy reconnects you with yourself.
It improves circulation, boosts the lymphatic system, lowers stress hormones, and helps you sleep better.
But beyond that — it restores presence, energy, and light.
When your body is relaxed, your spirit can expand.
When your mind is quiet, your intuition can guide you.
That’s where the true magick happens.
