A place to slow down, restore and reconnect with yourself
LIGHT BODY
Treatments
Set within a peaceful sanctuary in Edinburgh's New Town, Light Body offers a calm space to step away from the demands of everyday life and experience deep rest.
Drawing on the Trager® Approach, holistic massage and meditation, each treatment is thoughtfully tailored to help calm the nervous system, release deeply held patterns of tension, and cultivate greater freedom of movement and lasting wellbeing.
The Trager Approach
• Fully clothed treatment
• Includes guided meditation & Mentastics
• Ideal for chronic tension, mobility & nervous system regulation
The Trager® Approach is a gentle form of psychosomatic re-education developed by Dr. Milton Trager. Through mindful touch, movement and awareness, each session invites the body and mind to rediscover a more natural way of moving with greater ease and freedom.
Rather than working through force or correction, Trager encourages curiosity and deep listening, allowing the body and mind to experience new possibilities for releasing habitual patterns of tension. Sessions may include guided meditation and Mentastics, simple movement explorations that help carry a sense of ease beyond the treatment.

Before Your Visit
-
The Trager® Approach is a gentle form of psychosomatic re-education developed by Dr. Milton Trager. It is essentially a dialogue between the practitioner and the client's unconscious mind, expressed through gentle, flowing, almost hypnotic movements that calm the nervous system.
This gentle process invites us to let go of deeply held patterns of tension and rediscover a more natural and effortless way of moving. The result is often a profound sense of relaxation, lightness, freedom, and peace.

If you're looking to create lasting changes in movement and posture, release habitual patterns of tension, and cultivate greater body awareness, the Trager® Approach may be the best choice for you.
If your main intention is deep relaxation, relieving muscular tension, or simply enjoying nurturing therapeutic touch, Holistic Massage may be more suitable.
If you're unsure, I'm always happy to help you choose the treatment that best suits your needs. Depending on your individual goals, sessions can also combine elements of both approaches.
* Guided meditation and sound healing may also be incorporated into any treatment, depending on your needs and preferences.

To help you get the most from your treatment, try to avoid caffeine for a couple of hours beforehand, as it can make it more difficult for the body and mind to settle deeply.
For Trager® sessions, please wear a comfortable T-shirt, leggings, tights, or other loose-fitting clothing. Jeans, corduroy, or other stiff fabrics are not recommended, as they can restrict movement.
Holistic Massage is performed with oil, and your body will be professionally draped with sheets throughout the treatment to ensure your comfort, privacy, and warmth.
During your appointment, please switch off your phone or put it on silent to minimise distractions and allow yourself to fully settle into the experience. If possible, leave some quiet time afterwards so your body and mind can continue to integrate the benefits of the session.
