About Holistic Therapeutics
Hello, I’m Sarah Entwistle (She/Her) and I’m the founder of Holistic Therapeutics. I am an Advanced Massage Therapist who provides a range of treatments including: Full body, holistic, deep tissue, head massage, neck shoulder and back and many more. I am also a qualified nurse with over 14 years of experience. I combine my clinical experience with my massage expertise to provide a Holistic and Therapeutic massage ensuring you are treated as a whole and not only focusing on one element of your health. I aim to combine both the clinical and holistic approaches to health and wellbeing.
I have worked within the NHS as well as across the humanitarian and charity sectors in multiple countries which has given me such valuable experiences in providing an exceptional level of care in multiple cultures, diversities and situations.
I have a particular focus on inclusivity and making sure that members of the LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming community have a peaceful and welcoming space to receive treatments. Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I understand what it’s like going to a clinic and not feeling certain if the practitioner will understand you or feeling confident that you will be accepted.

Home Visits
Sometimes having a massage in your own home is just what you need, travelling to an appointment can cause additional stress.
I will happily discuss any requests for home visits but please note that due to the travelling time and cost that may be involved there may be an additional cost.
Packages with discounts can also be discussed.
