“Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force ”
It’s my job to listen to you and your body and respond by providing a bespoke treatment that meets your needs. Those needs may change over time, there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach. Each treatment is tailored to you and your requirements during each session.
Welcome to Vie Holistic Massage, I’m Daniella - your massage therapist
For as long as I can remember I have always had a strong connection with complementary therapies. Even as a child I was fascinated by alternative remedies, aromatherapy and meditation. Swayed from my path by a secondary school teacher, I was advised to choose more “Academic” subjects. After nearly two decades of working within the publishing industry and feeling as though I never quite fitted in or belonged, that nagging feeling became to big to ignore and I decided to retrain as a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner reigniting my passion and purpose of helping people connect, listen to, and nurture their body, mind and spirit.
My philosophy
I want to make massage accessible for everyone, I want to help people understand how amazing their bodies are and how our mind, emotions and body are connected.
I, like many, have been for a massage and been completely preoccupied with how I ‘look’, more concerned with my lumps, bumps, skin imperfections or scars – I don’t want my clients to be preoccupied with those thoughts, all of which can affect your ability to fully relax meaning you will not receive the full benefits of the treatment.
I want to reassure you that as a massage therapist we think your body is incredible – lumps, bumps, scars and all!
We have learnt how each intricate system within your body works, how it performs tasks without you even being aware, how each cell has a specific job and functions perfectly within it’s role. I want to make sure that your body and mind are given the opportunity to rest when they need to, allowing them to function optimally so you can live a full and balanced life in flow, free of discomfort, stress and tension.
