What is a holistic treatment?
Holistic therapy is a natural, whole-body approach to wellbeing that focuses on supporting your physical, mental, and emotional health together. Rather than treating just one symptom, each session is tailored to you as an individual—helping to restore balance, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation.
Using a combination of therapeutic techniques, I work to ease muscle tension, calm the nervous system, and create space for your body and mind to reset. Holistic therapy can be especially beneficial for managing stress, improving sleep, reducing anxiety, and supporting overall wellbeing.
Every treatment is adapted to how you feel on the day, providing a safe, calming environment where you can fully relax and recharge.
Hopwood's Holistic Massage Therapist: Emma
About
My name is Emma, and I am the therapist and owner of Hopwood's Holistic Massage Therapies. I have over a decade of experience working within this field, previously working and running a day Spa in Bath . I am a qualified Holistic & Sports Massage Therapist, Reflexologist and Reiki Master, with additional qualifications in Deep Tissue Massage, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stones and Facial Massage.
I love to constantly keep developing my practice and knowledge, so that I can deliver highly skilled and effective treatments for you. I have completed a qualification in Sports Massage and Structural Rebalancing, so as to further enhanced and grown my therapeutic massage skills set and knowledge, allowing me to provide treatments to help reduce pain, tension held within your muscles, and to work to improving mobility when needed and requested.
I have always been drawn to working and caring for people, and have worked within healthcare for twenty years, primarily as a Mental Health Nurse. This has created a drive and passion in me to help people to maintain their health and wellbeing, such as through delivery of a variety of bodywork and holistic treatments, as these have such a positive impact upon our bodies and minds, and support you to live your life more fully and enjoyably.
Massage treatments can offer a wide range of physical and emotional benefits, making them a valuable addition to overall wellbeing. They can reduce stress, relieve pain, improve circulation and promote relaxation. Additionally massage can help with sleep, improve mood and even boost the immune system.
I build time in to the appointment for an initial consultation at the start of each appointment, so that I can tailor my treatments to your individual needs and requests.
I have crafted out a special space for you to enjoy, and to help aid relaxation and a sense of calm. Hopwood's Holistic Massage Therapies is set within a serene environment, built for comfort, ease and space for your mind and body to breathe. My treatments are designed to help you release tension and find balance, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and uplifted.

"I had a 60-minute deep tissue massage with Emma at Hopwood’s Holistics last week and it was excellent. She focused on my shoulders, helping to relieve tension, improve mobility, and ease some persistent twinges of pain. I’ve noticed a real difference since the session. I’ve already booked another appointment next month—highly recommend!"
