Holistic Massage addresses care of the whole person —body, mind, and spirit—and may integrate several conventional and complementary therapies to promote optimal health, and prevent and treat disease. Each person is seen as a unique individual, rather than an example of a particular disease, which is understood to be the result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance. Healing, therefore, takes place naturally when these aspects of life are brought into proper balance.
