Pippa offers four different types of massage therapy from her practice in Innishannon. The therapies are as follows:
Full body Holistic Massage €60-00
The term 'holistic' comes from the Greek word 'holos' which means 'whole'. Pippa's holistic approach to her massage treatments takes into account her client's whole being - not just their physical symptoms or problems - but also their psychology, emotional state, environment, nutrition and the effects, both positive and negative, that these can have on the body as a whole. The treatment Pippa offers has been described as 'a spiritual massage' by some clients - and often includes the use of a sacred crystal sword, Angel fingers, warming towels, and always includes a huge amount of TLC!
Indian Head Massage €45-00
In India, Ayurvedic medicine has long been a central part of treating the whole body in order to maintain a balance between the physical, the mental and the Spiritual. Massage has been used for thousands of years and Indian Head Massage is a combination of ancient techniques and a modern awareness of the importance of an holistic approach. Pippa not only massages the head and neck in this treatment but starts the session with a thorough back massage before going on to concentrate on the head, neck, face and shoulders of her client. This is a fantastic treatment for anyone suffering from stress, headaches, migraines and also fatigue.
Hot Stone Massage €70-00
The use of hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times. The stones Pippa uses for this treatment are made of basalt, a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they retain heat. These stones are used because they are so smooth - they have been smoothed over time by a river's current. Pippa then places the stones at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand and between the toes and then continues the treatment using the stones in her hands as she massages. The heat of the stones relaxes the muscles which allows for a deeper massage of the muscle tissue, tremendous feelings of well-being and has a calming effect on the whole nervous system.
Hot Stone Facial €70-00
This is the ultimate pampering treatment also known as 'the Winter Warmer Hot Stone Journey'. Pippa first covers her client with hot stones on the main chakras of the body and wraps them in a warm towel so they can relax and enjoy as she then massages their face with hot river pebbles. The face is then cleansed, toned, scrubbed and then given the first of two facial masks. While the first mask does its work, Pippa then massages her client's legs with hot stones and finishes by placing hot pebbles between the toes and wrapping the foot in a hot bootie. When the face is then cleansed, a second mask of pure Manuka honey is applied. Manuka honey is known for its incredible healing properties and does wonder to all skin types. With the warm honey mask on the face, Pippa then massages her client's arms and hands, again with hot stones, and finishes by leaving a hot stone in the palm of the hand which in turn is placed in a hot glove. By the time the client's facial is finished, with a toner and rose smelling moisturiser, the client is indeed rested in mind, body and spirit.
