The Log Cabin

Holistic Massage

Here in The Log Cabin John provides two forms of massage, a traditional Indian Head Massage or a Holistic Massage.

Holistic Massage has been practised in one form or other for between three and four thousand years.  The modern style of massage was devised by Henrik Ling from Sweden which was based on physiology and formalised by a number of movements and techniques, many of which are still used today in Holistic Massage.

The massage medium John employs for both forms of treatment is Tui Massage Wax.  After many years of research he has found that this scented wax makes the perfect medium for performing a massage, it provides good contact, is moisturising, relatively non staining (unlike oils!), non dripping, and also smells great as it consists of beeswax and natural essential oils.  He has a selection of waxes available for massage treatments and will select one most suited to you during your consultation. Although the Tui Wax costs more than standard oils we think the benefits easily outweigh the costs, and it is better for you, the client!

What happens?  After an initial consultation you will be left with instructions on how to lay on the couch and to cover yourself with the towels provided after you have undressed.  After John has washed my hands he will return to the log cabin and commence the massage.  During the treatment towels will be used to keep you covered to preserve modesty and to ensure you are kept warm and John will ask about pressure etc to ensure that you are comfortable and can derive the greatest benefit from the massage.  At the end of the treatment John will once again retire to wash his hands giving you ample time get dressed again before  returning with a refreshing glass of water for you.  We will then have plenty of time for you to pay and to book your next appointment before you depart feeling refreshed to enjoy the rest of your day.

Full body Holistic Massage takes about an hour and a quarter and costs £35.

Back neck and shoulders Holistic Massage takes about three quarters of an hour and costs £30.

Please call John to book an appointment.

Note: your first visit will also require a full consultation for which you should allow another 15 minutes when deciding to book.  This enables the therapist to tailor the massage treatment to suit your needs.
