Luka Carlisle
Integrated bodywork is a powerful and effective therapeutic approach that involves the use of a variety of holistic techniques, which are woven into each session and tailored to each persons unique requirements. This approach offers so much more than just a great massage. It is rooted in the field of body psychotherapy, promoting an optimal environment in which deep healing can occur on all levels. Each session includes a combination of massage techniques from an array of traditions, the clinical use of synergistically blended high quality essential oils and energy work, which includes Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Pulsing, Myofascial Release, Reflexology and Breathwork. Talking Therapy, physical exercises, nutritional and lifestyle support will be available and offered where appropriate. Deep healing Energy Work sessions are also available as a stand alone session without the inclusion of body massage.
Having been involved in the field of holistic health and healing for over 25 years and running a busy private practice in Totnes since 2006, Luka is a very experienced therapist. She works deeply with a gentle sensitivity, listening carefully to the body and working intuitively from the heart, offering you the opportunity to get as much as possible from each session. She holds an impeccably safe, strongly empathic and deeply nourishing space for every client. Specialising in back, neck and shoulder pain relief, neurological conditions, women’s health and emotional trauma, grief, stress and anxiety. Luka offers you a powerful healing space in which to completely unwind, let go of the outside world and come home to yourself whilst wrapped up, snug and warm in soft towels and a fluffy blanket.
With a background in meditation, personal growth, dance, yoga, astrology and nutrition, in 1991 Luka began studying bodywork in India where she attended courses in Intuitive massage, energy work, Ayurvedic massage, Reiki, breathwork and various meditation techniques, together with a range of self development and therapy groups. Following several years in Asia and Australia, she returned to England in 1997 and settled in Devon to raise her daughter. In 1999 she became a Reiki master and qualified as a Holistic Therapist in 2000, enabling her to practice in the UK. This resulted in diplomas in Massage, Advanced massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Counselling, Nutrition, and Anatomy and Physiology. Luka has a well developed understanding of the physical and energetic bodies together with many years of experience in working with a wide range of physical conditions, emotional health issues and general health maintenance. More recently adding workshops and trainings in Polarity Therapy, Pulsing, Hot Stone Massage, Psychosynthesis, Myofascial Release and Somatic Experiencing to the list, her professional and personal development are an ongoing and ever deepening process as she continues to undertake further training and research.
The Rose Room, where Luka's practice is based, is a beautiful and spacious, light and tranquil room at the back of the building. Offering an environment that has been consciously created to hold, deepen and optimise your experience.
