Individual Therapy with Alison

Alison supports Simonetta with all of the course admin and planning, leads on much of the practical aspects of the Holistic Therapeutic Massage diploma and is an assistant tutor on all courses. She also reviews student case study notes.

Alison has practiced as a holistic massage therapist and bodyworker since 2009, having studied under Simonetta at the Holistic School of Massage. With further advanced techniques and training, including myofascial release, Somatic Trauma Therapy, Iris Level 1 (massage for people living with cancer), warm bamboo, Indian Head Massage and Reiki she is able to provide a holistic treatment for clients.

Alison works with people presenting ongoing or specific physical problems and in need of pain and stress relief. Having provided therapies for six years at a respite centre for people affected by neurological conditions and three years at a cancer charity, her speciality is working with people affected by long term, chronic and terminal conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons, Huntingtons, stroke and cancer.

Introducing somatic trauma therapy to her work has been a natural progression – and one that has become more relevant in her work with young people and children going through trauma and recognising the potential impact of this in their future lives.

Her teaching assistance draws on the specialist training and experience she has working with clients with little or no mobility and adapting massage techniques to provide them with a beneficial treatment.

Alison is based in Ayrshire and is looking to set up a treatment space again soon, for more information please call 07969 745276 or visit AC Holistic Therapies.
