Pippa Griffin

My role as a practitioner is to help each client to gain a sense of their own body and its patterns, through massage, breathe and movement. I offer my treatments from a place that is guided from intuition and a listening. Individualised sessions help clients relax, identify, and release patterns of stress, physical and emotional tension and trauma, regulating the nervous system, easing pain and improving movement. Inviting each person to move towards a place of well being, integrated movement, self care and awareness.

I use a range of modalities on a individual basis or by weaving a unique combination that responds to the persons needs.
Alongside this I bring quiet slow forms of touch that communicate with the body with a profound gentleness, presence and calm; and subtle methods to integrate shifts and changes

These are hands on treatments using balms, oils and touch, combining with gentle movement, breathwork and mindfulness.
The Pear Tree Room at Ola has been designed beautifully, offering a wholesome, warm supportive, cosy, confidential and blissfully relaxing space where one will be nourished, nurtured, can unwind and take rest.

“The simplicity of being still, breathing and feeling held can offer each and every one of us something so profound and something so simple and yet so essential for our sense of well being”.

The quality and style of therapies that Pippa has integrated and combined into her treatments;

Traditional Swedish Style Massage for relaxation

Deep Tissue Massage ( moving deeper into the muscle tissue to release and relieve tension when appropriate)

Remedial massage and bodywork ( a form of massage that offers advanced techniques enabling the therapist to work with more specific acute and chronic injuries over a 6 to 12 week period)

Reflexology a holistic treatment using pressure points through the feet and hands.

RLD (Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage) works in a very similar way to MLD ( massage lymphatic drainage), the difference being that RLD is guided by the map of the body through the feet or hands.

Reiki working with the energetic elements of the body to aid healing and well being.

Myofascial release ( a very effective bodywork technique that works with the fascia. The fascia is a 3d web of connective tissue within the body, it infuses supports and surrounds all organs and tissues within the body, down to cellular level. This technique is used to deal with chronic injuries at their root, often dealing with the physical and emotional component of the injury.

Experiential/ Embodied Anatomy and Somatic Training/Practice Both of which have influenced my therapy sessions in a way that enables me to offer a creative, intuitive and sensitive treatment. Over all inviting a deep feeling of rest, nervous system regulation, embodiment, softening, unwinding and a sense of coming home into one’s own body.

One to one Yoga sessions that are designed to work with the bodies natural response to movement and posture. A style of yoga that is based on working from our core elements and our natural processes in realigning, reconnecting and releasing . Awakening the spine, exploring ways to fully inhabit our bodies as well as strengthen. To balance our nervous systems and our sense of feeling in response to ourselves and the world around us. This style of teaching is a profound and delicious embodied journey and exploration through the practice of yoga with a kind, mindful and playful approach. The idea is to design bespoke yoga sessions and if desired or felt beneficial to use in combination with any of the other therapies I am trained in, Having in mind to create a unique and more advantageous approach in discovering the process required to accomplish the desired goal.
