Welcome!

My name is Rebecca Baird and I am a level 4 qualified Holistic Massage Therapist. I completed my training at Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork and am an MTI registered practitioner. I am also a qualified Reiki Master and did my training at Learn Reiki Bristol. I have recently completed my Sound Healing Practitioner training with Laura Charlotte Taylor and hold monthly sound baths in St George, details can be found on my booking page.

As a neurodivergent person, I have always struggled with my mental health. Holistic therapies have played a huge part in my journey to try and feel better and this is the main reason for starting Handmade Holistic, so I can help other people on their journeys.

I provide my treatments from my cosy apartment in St Anne's BS4 where if you're lucky, my cat Clarence will curl up near us and give off some of his healing energies. I love animals, so all of the products I use are vegan and cruelty-free.

As a therapist I take more of a nurturing approach with a focus on calming the nervous system, which not only provides a release for the body but also the mind. While a firm pressure and deep tissue can often feel good, it's a common myth that a massage needs to hurt in order for it to achieve results and can sometimes put the body into fight or flight.

I work in both an intuitive and collaborative way to ensure that you receive the treatment that you need and deserve. We will go through an initial consultation beforehand and come up with a treatment plan to suit your needs on the day.
