“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, the nagging and unsettled feeling became to big to ignore and I decided to retrain as massage therapist and Reiki practitioner reigniting my passion for complementary therapies and fulfilling my 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.
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.
I want to reassure you that as a massage therapist we think your body is incredible – lumps, bumps, scars and all!
