Angelica Rossi, Massage Therapist<br />
What style of massage do you<br />
do? Swedish Body Massage. It’s<br />
very holistic, helping with the<br />
lymphatic, digestive and skeletal<br />
systems. It’s good for the skin,<br />
and your circulation, too. There<br />
is a physical side to massage, but<br />
also a spiritual side, too: a lot of<br />
energy healing.<br />
Is every massage different? It<br />
is. I work very intuitively, tuning<br />
into each client’s energies, building up a rapport,<br />
and using the appropriate techniques.<br />
What sort of movements do you make? Effleurage,<br />
kneading, hacking, cupping, friction<br />
movements, thumb pressing, in some cases<br />
pressing with the elbows, too! You learn all these<br />
techniques when you do your studies, then you<br />
develop your own style.<br />
Do you have a uniform? I wear all white; it’s<br />
important to look professional.<br />
Do you play music? I avoid the<br />
normal new age music. I like<br />
playing Indian meditative music.<br />
A lot of my clients like it: it often<br />
helps them to drift off into sleep.<br />
Do you have to look after your<br />
hands? Of course! I manicure,<br />
and moisturise, and do hand<br />
exercises.<br />
Is giving a massage therapeutic<br />
for you, too? I think it is. It’s highly rewarding<br />
helping people to feel uplifted, less stressed and<br />
more relaxed after a massage.<br />
How much do you charge? £25 for an hour’s<br />
full-body massage, £15 for 30 minutes’ back, neck<br />
and shoulders. People say that my prices are very<br />
reasonable; I’d like to be accessible to everybody.<br />
