Ann Khattab
Holistic Massage and Cranio Sacral Reflexology

The term Holistic is taken from the Greek word Helos meaning whole and each client is seen as an individual entity with their own healing capabilities and needs. Every client will be viewed as an individual with specific treatment requirements and each and every treatment will be tailored to the individual's needs whether it is a massage or a cranio sacral reflexology treatment, my approach is consistently holistic.

As a practitioner I do not claim to cure but merely assist in the healing process enabling the restoration of the body's own healing energy as well as encouraging deep relaxation. I will bring about a relaxation that brings the body into homeostasis, a place of balance where the body is able to repair and renew.
