Welcome to Linda Thaper's Holistic Therapy-Where Healing Begins
My name is Linda Thaper, and I am a qualified and registered multi-disciplinary, holistic practitioner based in Hove, specializing in Clinical Massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Bowen.
I realised early on in my career that anxiety, depression and layers of stress had a negative impact on the well-being of my clients, so alongside training in bodywork, I decided to qualify as Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist and Life Coach.
​
Being constantly busy and on the go makes finding true balance and wellness quite challenging. I bring over more than 30 years of experience in holistic therapy to the forefront, guiding you through a transformative experience that caters to your individual needs. From the restorative touch of clinical massage to the natural potency of aromatherapy, the reflexology's grounding effects, and the gentle yet profound impact of the Bowen technique, your path to holistic health is paved with expertise and empathy.
​
I have worked with sports performers, dancers and actors, through to office workers, business owners and those in the construction and building industries. I work with both individuals and businesses, as well as treating teens and the elderly.

Discover a healthier you through my services
Bowen Technique
Discover the gentle power of the Bowen technique. This non-invasive therapy uses subtle movements to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, offering relief from pain, stress, and various health conditions without the need for forceful manipulation.
​
Following a consultation with your practitioner, your treatment will begin with a session typically lasting up to 1 hour with 4 sessions often required one week apart.
It is recommended during which time other physical therapies ( example massage, physiotherapy, chiropractic) should not be undertaken.
The practitioner will apply gentle pressure to specific areas, through light clothing.
During your treatment there are unique breaks taken after each move which allows the body the time and space to respond to the moves.
Aromatherapy
Embrace the healing essence of nature with my aromatherapy treatments. Using pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, these sessions not only soothe your senses but also offer a multitude of health benefits, including stress relief, improved sleep quality, and enhanced mood.
​
Aromatherapy massage is a gentle treatment combined with essential oils which will be tailor made for you. These pure essential oils are extracted from plants, flowers, trees, fruit ,bark, grasses and seeds, with distinctive physiological, psychological and therapeutic properties.
Each essential oil has its own scent and healing properties. All essential oils have valuable antiseptic properties. Some are anti viral, anti inflammatory, pain relieving, antidepressant. Others are stimulating relaxing, aid digestion, or have diuretic properties.
Aromatherapy can help with arthritic pain, digestive disorders, menopause, PMS, asthma, aches and pains.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is an effective therapeutic technique renowned for its ability to relieve deep-seated muscle tension and chronic pain. This powerful form of bodywork penetrates beyond the surface muscles, targeting the underlying layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia.
It's an ideal choice for individuals suffering from longstanding discomforts, such as stiff necks, lower back pain, tight shoulders, and various repetitive strain injuries.
Deep tissue massage not only aids in alleviating physical pain but also significantly enhances circulation, promoting faster recovery of injured muscular tissue and improving overall bodily function.
By incorporating slow, deliberate strokes and applying firm pressure, this massage technique works to break down adhesions and improve range of motion, making it a pivotal component of wellness regimens for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone seeking relief from the physical stresses of daily life
I offer a range of holistic treatments to help you achieve optimal health and wellbeing. Whether you're looking to relieve stress, manage pain, or improve your emotional health, through my knowledge and experience I am here to help. Your individual therapy sessions are tailored to your unique needs.
