What does “holistic massage” really mean?
We believe in the holistic approach. The Academy of Natural Health prides itself on providing a truly holistic course in massage. Holistic isnt just a trendy word for us – it is a philosophy and approach to living that permeates everything we do. Holistic means that nothing is seen in isolation. Our work as holistic massage practitioners starts with an acknowledgement of the whole picture as it is. Well-being and dis-ease are both seen as intrinsic processes of life. Our attitude towards ourselves as well as each other comes from an awareness that we are part of a whole which directly affects all forms of life. Touch is a way to express this connectedness and so holistic touch needs to always come from a place of respect for the uniqueness of all life forms.
