Hypnotherapy Massage

A complete mind-body experience bringing a profound state of relaxation.

Using a combination of hypnotic trance work and tactile massage can have an astonishing impact on mental health and physical wellbeing. When hypnosis is combined with massage in the right way, a perfect, complementary healing balance can be established, achieving levels of relaxation and health that neither hypnosis nor massage can do on its own.

​

How it works

Imagine combining the affirming touch of a massage, which alone puts you into a highly relaxed state, with guided visualisations and healing suggestions that invite the mind to participate in the process. Hypnotherapy Massage utilises the natural trance state elicited by massage to deepen relaxation on every level. It involves the integration of bodywork with hypnotic suggestion to create a complete mind and body experience.

​

Long-lasting benefits

Hypnosis puts the mind into an alpha state, which quiets your mind during the massage. While in this state, the muscles respond more readily to the massage and the benefits last longer. Hypnotherapy Massage allows a state of enhanced relaxation in which deeper parts of the mind become accessible; this, in turn, allows the muscles to relax more than they would during a routine massage. The unique combined practice of Hypnotherapy massage helps clear physical and emotional trauma while speeding up the overall healing process. Unwanted feelings and issues are healed as the body is slowly relaxed and the mind is taken through a wonderful visualisation. It is through this subconscious state that you can experience a greater awareness of both body and mind.

Massage techniques

After many years of working within the spa sector, I am qualified in a multitude of massage techniques. For Hypnotherapy massage I work very intuitively and mainly work with the Esalen technique which was developed originally in Big Sur, California and is known for its long integrating strokes, this method creates an experience of deep relaxation, supporting the natural ability of the body and mind to self-heal.  Each service can be bespoke or adapted to individual needs, I work very intuitively and no two treatments will be the same.

​

Massage oils

I work with a bespoke massage blend that is made exclusively for Exhale which combines Grapefruit, Neroli and Benzoin. The oil is suitable for use with nut allergy clients and is completely vegan. These particular essential oils were chosen for the following properties:

​

Grapefruit - Uplifting, detoxifying and stimulates the lymphatic system.

Neroli - Calms anxiety and anti-spasmodic.

Benzoin - A resin that assists with feelings of low mood depression, loneliness and sadness.

Please note, Hypnotherapy Massage is only offered as part of the hypnotherapy experience.
