Welcome to
Glasgow Holistic Massage
I’m Anny Deery. For the last 10 years, I’ve been helping clients get lasting relief from pain, release chronic stress and rediscover their sense of wellbeing. This autumn, I am celebrating ten years since I pivoted from my career in digital marketing and retrained to pursue my passion for holistic healing.
My practice is founded on a simple but powerful belief: that true wellbeing comes from treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. It’s about listening — truly listening — to what your body needs and creating a therapeutic experience designed entirely for you.
In the non-stop, always on rush of life in Glasgow, it’s easy to feel disconnected from our bodies. We carry stress as tension in our shoulders, work as an ache in our lower back and worry as a headache that won’t fade. We normalise discomfort and accept it as part of modern life. It doesn’t need to be. And I can help you deal with those issues and feel better.
Based in the Angel Building near Glasgow’s city centre, I offer a peaceful treatment space where you can unwind and reconnect with your body. Glasgow Holistic Massage is situated in my home, within a beautiful converted church. I’ve treated hundreds of clients here. I’d love to help you too.
For the Desk Worker & Daily Commuter
Do you spend hours hunched over a keyboard or behind the wheel? This posture creates a predictable pattern of strain: tight pectoral muscles, rounded shoulders, a weak upper back and persistent “tech neck.” Myofascial release, dry cupping and targeted deep tissue work can unwind these patterns, improving posture and providing lasting relief from chronic neck and shoulder pain.
For the Expectant or New Mother
As a mother of two, I have a deep, personal understanding of the incredible physical journey of pregnancy and motherhood. Your body undergoes immense change; specialised pregnancy massage provides essential support. It can safely and effectively alleviate sciatic pain, reduce swelling in the legs and ankles and ease the strain on your back and hips, allowing you to more comfortably enjoy this precious time.
For the Active Individual
Runners, gym enthusiasts and HYROX competitors’ bodies are in constant demand. Sports massage isn’t just for professionals, it’s for anyone who wants to improve performance, accelerate recovery and prevent injury. I work out knots to improve your range of motion and help your muscles function at their best.
For THE Stressed & OVERWORKED
Stress isn’t just “in your head.” Chronic stress can lead to poor sleep, headaches, digestive issues and a weakened immune system. A calming, restorative treatment like Swedish Massage or Thai Foot Massage is a powerful antidote, helping to regulate your nervous system and guide your body back to a state of rest and recovery.
Core Therapies
Glasgow Holistic Massage offers a range of evidence-informed massage therapies tailored to your individual needs. Every session begins with a consultation to understand your needs. Your treatment will be a bespoke blend of techniques, but here are some of the core therapies I offer:
Sports Massage & Dry Cupping Myofascial Release: This is a highly effective, results-driven treatment for anyone experiencing restricted movement or musculoskeletal pain (tight calf, stiff neck, sore back, dodgy knee, etc.). It targets the deeper layers of muscle and the surrounding fascia (connective tissue). By using a combination of advanced massage techniques and dry cupping, we can break down scar tissue to stimulate healthy bloody flow which promotes healing.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A gentle, rhythmic, profoundly effective therapy. MLD is designed to support your body’s natural detoxification system. It is incredibly beneficial for reducing fluid retention and swelling (oedema), managing conditions like lymphoedema and poor digestion to provide a significant boost to your immune system. It is also deeply relaxing.
Pregnancy: A nurturing and essential therapy for expectant mothers. Using safe and supportive side lying positioning, this gentle massage focuses on easing the specific discomforts of pregnancy.
