Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 90 minutes recommended for a full body holistic massage?

90 minutes is the ideal amount of time to really give attention to the whole body at a relaxed pace.

How long to I need for a Lymphatic Drainage?

The technique for Lymphatic Drainage is very specific. We need to work backwards from the main lymphatic drain points near the collar bone out to the nodes that drains specific body areas in order. While the face or arms can be done in a short session, to drain the legs we need to work down through the chest, abdomen and inguinal nodes clearing space. A 90 minute session is required for this work.

What can I expect from a 60 minute massage?

When opting for 60 minutes it is good to discuss where the focus of the massage should be. If you want to spend time going to deeper layers of a specific area, it is not realistic to then be able to treat the whole body in 60 minutes.

Should I choose a table or chair massage?

A chair massage will only work with the back, shoulders, neck, head and arms. Typically a chair massage will be through light clothing and without oil. While a chair massage can be wonderful, it does not offer the same degree of relaxation as working with oils on a table.

Why is an intake form necessary?

It is important for two reasons. Firstly, the information given allows for a massage plan that is tailored for you. Any injuries or medical conditions need to be known about in order to ensure that the massage delivers maximum benefit. Secondly, it is required that massage therapists keep detailed records for medical and insurance purposes.

Is there a cancellation policy?

I take a €30 deposit to secure a time slot. Sessions need to be cancelled or rescheduled 24 hours in advance to avoid losing the deposit.

Why are add ons offered?

Massages are a wonderful part of self care. Some people like to take a little extra time to prepare their mind and body before the session begins. The two methods which work best, in my opinion, are guided meditations (such as a body scan) to help enter a deeply relaxed state and the converse, using movement and breathwork to enliven the body focussing on an active connection to the breath. Meditation or relaxed breathwork will activate the parasympathetic nervous system in advance of the massage. Enlivening techniques will allow us to work more effectvely with the body's energy during the massage.

Is any preparation necessary?

It is recommended to be well hydrated before a massage. It is also good to clear a little time in your schedule before and after the session to get the most benefit.

What is recommended after a massage?

You should drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. Other than this, take it easy, maybe do some gentle stretching and enjoy a nice warm bath or shower.

How much floor space is required for an in home massage?

The minimum space required for a table massage is 3m by 2m. A chair massage ideally requires 2m by 2m but it is possible to use a smaller space if required.

Are you insured?

Yes, I'm fully insured with Balens.

Holistic Massage

A holistic massage treats you as a whole person: body, mind and spirit. We begin with a short conversation about any aches, areas of tension, posture, sleep concerns and what you would most like to get from your session. From there, I blend long, flowing strokes, kneading and targeted pressure to ease stubborn tension, gentle stretches to mobilize stiff joints, and light energy based holds to encourage your body’s natural balance. You remain fully draped except for the area being worked, and I use warmed, natural oils so every movement feels smooth and grounding.

When deeper work is needed, I’ll incorporate focused deep tissue techniques, using firmer, sustained pressure to work into tight bands of muscle and fascia, helping to break up adhesions and improve your range of motion.

Sessions come in two lengths. A 60 minute massage lets me focus on your key trouble spots while still including a full body check in. A 90 minute session gives enough time for a full head to toe experience. You can also add simple extras like aromatherapy or guided breathwork to deepen relaxation or address specific needs.

Beyond the hands on techniques, one of the most powerful effects of holistic massage is how it shifts your nervous system out of fight or flight (sympathetic) mode and into rest and digest (parasympathetic) mode. That switch helps your body settle more fully, lowers stress hormones and supports recovery at a deeper level.

Most clients notice muscles in the back, shoulders, neck and legs feeling more relaxed, circulation improving and posture becoming more natural. Many report sleeping more soundly, thinking more clearly and simply feeling more balanced. By calming the mind, relieving physical tension and supporting your body’s own healing, holistic massage can be a key step toward lasting wellbeing.

Lymphatic Drainage

A lymphatic drainage massage uses very light, rhythmic strokes to encourage your body’s own waste clearing network. About 70% of lymphatic fluid travels through the superficial system, a web of capillaries just under the skin, while the remaining 30% moves through deep vessels alongside arteries and veins to drain muscles, joints and organs. While the deeper lymph is moved by exercise, the superficial system benefits greatly from this treatment.

Interestingly, your brain has its own counterpart: the glymphatic system, a series of perivascular channels that recent imaging work in humans shows become almost fully active only during sleep, boosting waste clearance by up to twice the rate seen when you’re awake.

By gently “sweeping” the superficial lymphatics toward the nearest nodes, this massage helps:

Reduce swelling & fluid retention: Clears excess lymph from arms, legs or face.
Support immune function: Transports protein rich fluid and debris into nodes for filtering.
Speed recovery: Flushes metabolic waste after surgery, injury or intense workouts.
Enhance detoxification: Complements deep lymphatic drainage once fluid passes the nodes.
Soothe discomfort: Mild pressure can ease headaches, sinus pressure and post exercise soreness.
Improve skin tone and texture

Unlike Holistic Massage, preparation of the main lymphatic drains and the order of treatment sites is essential. While head and arms can be drained in a shorter session, a full body treatment which includes the legs will require a 90 minute session.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, less puffy and surprisingly energized. This benefits both the high volume superficial drains and the deep pathways, plus the nightly “brain rinse” your glymphatic system provides during sleep.

Chair Massage

A chair massage is a simple, no fuss session you stay fully clothed for. In 30 to 45 minutes I focus on your neck, shoulders and back, the areas that get tight from working at a computer all day, and have you leave feeling looser and more comfortable.

Benefits

Relieves neck & shoulder tension: Targeted pressure where you need it most.
Fits into your day: Quick setup, no oils, perfect for a short break.
Supports better posture: Gentle adjustments to ease forward head strain.
Immediate feedback: You’ll notice spots feeling less stiff right away.
Ideal for events or office: Brings relief without needing a massage room.
