Book AppointmentOur Massage Philosophy
Our philosophy is at the heart of each and every one of our massage services - guiding us in strengthening both bodies and minds, day in, and day out.
Meeting Needs
No two of our clients are the same - so why should our services be? Each of our treatments, from recovery to relaxation, is driven solely by your distinct needs. Taking into account your areas of concern, preferences, and goals, our philosophy breaks the mould of generic massage menus - delivering tailored treatment plans and products perfectly suited to you and you alone.
Improving Lives
We understand that the effects of pain and discomfort go well beyond just their source. When our expert massage therapists get to work, they know they’re not just kneading knots in a tight back or pulling tension from overused quads - they’re helping a passionate marketing executive craft campaigns without pain, or a young football player pursue their sporting dreams.
Therapy Process
Booking
Our online booking system makes securing a massage appointment easier than ever. Simply create or log in to your online account, select a slot suited to your schedule, and make your reservation - from anywhere, at any time. If you’d prefer to get in touch over the phone or in person, you’re more than welcome to do so.
Form
After confirming your appointment date and time, we’ll begin the process of tailoring your treatment - after all, bespoke is best. Your therapist will provide you with a simple form, using which you’ll be able to detail your medical history and points of concern for review.
Consultation
It’s the day of your massage. Before your therapist begins, they’ll complete a short, in-person consultation; discussing your form details, alongside your needs, preferences, and requirements. After building a complete picture of you as an individual, they’ll adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Treatment
Lana’s Holistic Centre’s exclusive massage treatments are designed to deliver an individualised experience for the best possible results. From the first to the last minute of your appointment, you’ll enjoy targeted, holistic techniques balancing relaxation and renewal.
Review
Post-treatment, your massage therapist may offer advice regarding your personal circumstances. Whether you require post-massage tips on how to boost mobility at home, or ideas for reducing tension and improving general physical well-being, they’ll be happy to assist.

Book AppointmentFAQs
What is holistic massage therapy?
Holistic therapy is a comprehensive approach to massage. Rather than asserting a set way of working, holistic practitioners work on a basis of connection, considering both their client’s body and mind whilst building a meaningful treatment plan.
For example, where a traditional massage therapist may believe that a client requesting deep tissue massage must receive a high-pressure treatment in a 60-minute slot, a holistic practitioner may work with the same client to discover that they feel they can’t perform well at work due to back pain caused by bad posture – but haven’t sought treatment due to their low pain tolerance. Said practitioner may develop a back-focused treatment plan designed to care for the client’s physical and mental needs, making adjustments to match all they have learned – e.g. suggesting a medium or low pressure to reduce intensity, or providing tips for correcting office posture.
By acknowledging their clients’ emotional and physical states alongside a wide range of influential factors, holistic massage therapists are able to approach treatments with a deep understanding of wants and needs – not just medical history.
What are the benefits of holistic massage?
Of course, holistic massage clients benefit from all the highlights of traditional massages provided ‘by the book’, including (but not limited to) stress relief, muscle relaxation, pain reduction, and lower blood pressure and heart rate, alongside improved circulation, sleep, energy levels, and more. However, the true benefits of holistic massage lie in its comprehensive, tailored approach.
By truly diving into the exact needs of their clients’ bodies and minds, massage therapists following this philosophy are able to uncover their most vital treatment requirements – producing insightful, effective, and long-lasting plans and results to match.
What can I expect from a holistic massage?
The holistic massage experience is just as its name suggests. Tailored to the needs of clients on a case-by-case basis, this therapy type aims to take into account every element of an individual’s life – viewing them as a real person influenced by a complex combination of internal and external factors rather than just a list of diagnoses and developing a meaningful plan of action in accordance with this.
A holistic massage experience, therefore, requires a pre-appointment consultation or conversation, in which the therapist will work to build a deep understanding of their client as an individual.
After the development of a tailored treatment plan influenced by this discussion, the massage will begin. This typically involves the physical manipulation of the body including muscles, joints, and tissue groups using a number of techniques – from firm pressure to gentle touch.
Post-appointment, a holistic therapist may provide tips on how to best maintain the results of the treatment or prevent recurring aches, pains, and ailments going forward.
How many massages should I get per month?
No two people have the same massage requirements – meaning there’s no set ‘best’ massage frequency – per month, year, or beyond. Ultimately, your massage schedule should be determined by your unique requirements and restrictions – for example, existing stress and pain levels, present conditions, finances, and preferences – alongside your availability.
As a general guide, massages delivered specifically to manage pain or ongoing injuries should be performed more regularly where appropriate in order to reap their benefits.
Still unsure of how often you should be booking in for a massage? Why not sign up for a consultation with the specialist massage therapists at Lana’s Holistic Centre? We’ll be happy to help you discover the best possible wellness path for your physical and mental needs.
What is holistic massage good for?
The benefits of holistic massage reach far beyond those of traditional massages. Whilst generic massage services offer a vast range of high points including stress relief, muscle relaxation, pain reduction, lower blood pressure and heart rate, alongside improved circulation, sleep, and energy levels, their holistic equivalent goes further – viewing the client as more than just a list of ailments, and the results of treatment as more than just one-word pros.
For example, whilst a generic massage therapist may view a client with tennis elbow as just that – suggesting sports massage as a solution, a holistic massage therapist will work to understand the root cause of the condition and the effect it has on the client – perhaps they’re a cleaner and the injury has developed as a result of overuse. By working to understand every element of the person receiving treatment, holistic massage therapists are able to develop a deep understanding of their wants and needs – allowing them to create a bespoke, meaningful plan of action, offer potentially life-changing advice post-appointment, and tackle every aspect of the issue presented.
The comprehensive, client-led nature of holistic massage makes it the perfect option for those living with complex pain points – but don’t let this stop you from booking a holistic massage for pure relaxation! After all, bespoke is always better.
