Sciatica Relief Through Intuitive, Therapeutic Massage

12th May 2025 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

Sciatica is more than just back pain — it’s a deep, often radiating discomfort that travels from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. For some, it’s a sharp jolt. For others, it’s a persistent, burning ache that makes movement — and rest — feel like a struggle. If you’re experiencing this, know this first: you’re not alone, and healing is possible.

Sciatic pain is usually caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to tight muscles (such as the piriformis), postural imbalances, or structural tension patterns in the hips and lower back. These issues can build over time — especially in active bodies, or those under constant stress.

Massage therapy, when applied with both anatomical knowledge and intuitive presence, can offer real and lasting relief. In my treatments, I work to:

Release muscular tension and trigger points that compress the sciatic nerve
Improve circulation to reduce inflammation and support healing
Realign imbalances in the pelvis and hips that contribute to pain patterns
Calm the nervous system, inviting deeper rest and recovery

But more than technique, my approach is rooted in something deeper. Each session is a sacred container — a quiet space where your body is listened to, your pain honored, and your whole being gently supported.

Whether your goal is to move freely again, sleep without discomfort, or simply feel at home in your body once more — this work is here for you.

✨ Massage for sciatica isn’t just about easing pain — it’s about restoring connection, flow, and trust within the body.
Let’s begin that journey together.

Why sports massage?

🌿 Why Sports Massage Isn’t Just for Athletes

When people hear the term sports massage, they often think it’s only for professional athletes or serious gym-goers. But in truth, sports massage is for anyone who moves, works, stretches, strains—or simply lives in a human body.

Whether you’re a runner training for your next challenge, a parent carrying children, or someone sitting long hours at a desk, sports massage offers profound benefits for your physical and mental well-being.

💪 The Benefits of Sports Massage:

✨ Reduces muscle tension and stiffness
Targeted techniques help release tightness, improve circulation, and restore range of motion in overworked muscles.

✨ Supports recovery and healing
Whether you’re managing a recent strain or an ongoing condition, sports massage promotes faster healing by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.

✨ Improves posture and movement
Misalignment and habitual tension can lead to pain or dysfunction. Sports massage helps the body realign and move more freely.

✨ Prevents injury
By identifying and treating muscle imbalances early, regular massage can reduce the risk of injury before it happens.

✨ Supports the nervous system
This isn’t just physical—massage also soothes the stress response, helping your mind and body unwind together.

🌙 My Approach

As a qualified remedial and sports massage therapist, I work with clients managing both acute conditions and everyday discomfort. Whether you’re healing from an injury, dealing with joint pain, or simply feeling “off” in your body, our session will be tailored to your unique needs.

And because I walk the path of both healer and witch, my touch carries intention. Each treatment is not only clinical—it is sacred. You are held in a space where your body is honored, and your healing is deeply supported.

If your body has been calling for attention,
If you’re feeling tight, tired, or misaligned,
You don’t have to wait for it to get worse.

🕯️ Come. Let’s tend to your body, so your spirit can move freely within it.

Theme of August: Responsibility

14th Aug 202314th Aug 2023 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

Taking responsibility is a crucial aspect of self-development that can significantly impact personal and professional growth. As a business coach, emphasizing responsibility as a developmental topic can empower your clients to take charge of their lives and achieve their goals. Many clients might hold onto thoughts of overwhelming work or family responsibilities, often using them as excuses for inaction or stagnation. However, it’s essential to highlight that self-sabotage often lies beneath these surface reasons.

Encouraging your clients to embrace responsibility involves guiding them to acknowledge their power to shape their circumstances actively. This means fostering a mindset that prioritizes ownership of one’s actions, choices, and outcomes. By doing so, individuals can break free from the constraints of victimhood and move towards a more proactive and positive approach to challenges.

Help your clients understand that accepting responsibility isn’t about shouldering all burdens alone, but rather recognizing their role in creating and shaping their reality. Encourage them to set realistic goals, take initiative, and make informed decisions. It’s also crucial to address the fear of failure or judgment that may be holding them back.

In your coaching sessions, focus on building resilience and adaptability, as these qualities empower individuals to confront obstacles head-on. Additionally, promote self-reflection and accountability, guiding clients to learn from their mistakes and embrace growth opportunities.

In conclusion, responsibility is not just about fulfilling external obligations but is a potent force for personal development. By fostering a culture of responsibility, you can help your clients unleash their true potential and achieve lasting success in both their personal and professional lives.

A little introduction

27th Jun 20239th Jan 2024 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

Five years ago, my family and I decided to start a new chapter in our lives and moved to Scotland. I began to work with independent clients in 2021 as a business and life coach. From April 2023, I’ve become a Gallup-Certified Cliftonstrengths Coach to support my clients to shift their attention from their weaknesses to their Talents and nurture them into Strengths. Previously, I worked for more than ten years in management and administrative positions in higher education and governmental organisations. And after a career change, I worked as a massage therapist for seven years in a spa, hotel and in my own business.

Add a heading-3
My CliftonStrengths top 5 are Empathy, Connectedness, Input, Belief, Responsibility. But what does it mean? It means I am an intuitive, counselling, inquisitive, dependable believer. During the sessions we are focusing on you and your ways, your solutions. We talk about your natural Talents and the investments you can take to transform them into Strengths. We talk about your weaknesses and blind spots that sabotage your success but with awareness you will be able to Name, Claim and Aim your Strengths and utilise them to thrive.

“Everybody needs a coach – someone to help them understand their talents and strengths, navigate their challenges, move forward when they are stuck, and reach their greatest potential.”

Topics I can help you with:

– I have been visually impaired since I was born; I also wrote my dissertation on equality law, so one of my main areas is self-acceptance, self-confidence, equality, and inclusion.

– Changing career paths, places of residence, and lifestyles could be challenging, but small steps and consistency can keep us on track. That is why restarting, moving to the UK, career development, career change, burnout, work-life balance, and starting a business are my other important areas.

The language of the sessions can be English or Hungarian.

In my program, I work with the CliftonStrengths Assessment by Gallup, which outlines your top talents, while your report features definitions of each of those talents that are specific to you. Discovering and owning your Strengths help you to understand yourself better and grow in the way that is the most effective and best for you. Learn more here

Theme of the month: Blind spots and weaknesses

3rd May 2023 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

The theme of the month in May is our weaknesses and blind spots. But why should we start talking about them?

Here are 5 tips to begin with.

5 tips why you should talk about your weaknesses

1. Increased Self-Awareness: Talking about your weaknesses can help you identify areas of your personality or behaviour needing improvement. This self-awareness can help you develop a plan to address your weaknesses and become a better version of yourself.

2. Overcoming Shame: Admitting your weaknesses can be difficult, as it may make you feel vulnerable or ashamed. However, by discussing your weaknesses, you can overcome these negative feelings and develop a more positive self-image.

3. Building Trust: Sharing your weaknesses with others can help build trust and create a deeper connection with them. When you open up about your vulnerabilities, others may feel more comfortable doing the same, leading to more authentic and meaningful relationships.

4. Receiving Feedback: When you talk about your weaknesses, you may receive constructive feedback from others. This feedback can help you identify blind spots or areas of improvement that you may not have considered otherwise.

5. Personal Growth: You can create a roadmap for personal growth and development by talking about your weaknesses. This process can help you set goals, track progress, and ultimately become the best version of yourself.

Midlife crisis

22nd Apr 2023 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

The term is becoming more and more well-known and widespread. However, as in many cases, we come across many conflicting theories. The concept of the midlife crisis was developed by Elliott Jaques in 1965, and he applied it primarily to men. In the case of women, menopause, which indicates a change in biological processes, is a much clearer milestone, as it marks the end of the period of the ability to conceive. Unfortunately, women’s physical changes were blamed for men’s mood swings and, in many cases, even for leaving their entire structured existence and family.

Another significant person is the famous psychologist Erik Erikson, well known for his life stage theory about going through 8 life stages. So, our development does not end with the end of adolescence, as was previously thought.

In the first stage, children bond with their parents deeply through attachment. In a healthy environment, babies develop a deep trust, and they’ll be able to build healthy, strong relationships in the future. This is the first year of their lives.

The second stage is the second year, when children start to develop their autonomy.

The third stage is the period between the age of 3-5 when the ability to take the initiative develops, and the sense of guilt and doubt appears. Children are able to create their rules and games.

The fourth period lasts from the age of six until puberty. Children understand how things function in this developmental period and the importance of organisational tasks.

The fifth period is the first period of crisis, the age of adolescence between the age of 12-16. This period brings confusion and physical and hormonal changes. Questioning parents’ control over them and setting boundaries is on one side. Meanwhile, relying the opinion of their peers on the other side. Most common questions: Who am I? What kind of person am I? Where do I belong?

The sixth period is young adulthood, about building our first serious relationship and ideas about what we want to do as a profession.

The seventh period is important for family formation and social and community cohesion. During these years, our family starts growing, our relationship with our partner is deeper, and we usually have achievements in our professional life as well. And around the age of 35-45 when people typically have a look at their milestones and achievements. Unfortunately, in Western societies, there is a massive expectation on individuals that they need to have children, a house, a car, high-paying job by this time. And at the same time, they also have their dreams and values they might put aside to achieve these pressured goals. The most frequently asked questions are: Who am I? What is the meaning of my life? Where am I? I have everything, so why am I not happy? At this point, most clients begin to deal with self-awareness and turn to themselves.

The eighth period is the period of fulfilment, the feeling of satisfaction with life, the conscious confrontation with death and the appearance of the associated fears.

Try something new – volunteering

24th Mar 2023 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

This week I went to Thornton Rose RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) in Rosewell. It was my first-time volunteering, and I had already learned many things. And most importantly, I met many lovely, welcoming people.As a horsey person, I love spending my time around these beautiful animals. Picture description (PD): a field in the sunshine I took in Rosewell this Wednesday. In the back of the field there are a line of trees.

Horses are very sensitive and intuitive. They reflect your emotional state to you. This was a comfort zone growing experience for me because I had to go to a place I’d never been before. However, I took a trial trip just to the stables to know which bus I needed to take, but instead of that, I didn’t know what to expect. Also, I didn’t have much experience working with horses. I spent some time around them in my childhood in camps where we had to groom them and mock the stables but these days, not much. PD: On the scanned picture there is a horse and a girl on the saddle and next to them there are another 6 girls, including me who wears sunglasses.

What does RDA provide?
“Thornton Rose provides riding opportunities for people of all ages and disabilities to enjoy a safe, stimulating, therapeutic and recreational sport. The group was formed in 1984 under a previous name and established as Thornton Rose in 2004 when we relocated to Thornton Farm, Rosewell.
The group is a member of the Riding for the Disabled Association, where our vision is to improve the lives of people with disabilities through activities connected with horse riding.”

So, I spend there a few hours and helped where I could. The coaches and volunteers gave me instructions and small tours around the place and duties. However, it was bloody windy I enjoyed spending the day outdoors. I enjoyed every minute and will go again soon.

PD: on the second picture there is 10 reasons in small bubbles why you should volunteer this summer. In the circles the texts are: flexibility your time, your place; develop your skills; meet new people; try something new; enhance your CV; personal achievement; give back to society; gain a whole new perspective; make change happen; it’s fun.

Why is it worth volunteering?

It is flexible. You work as much as you can or want. They will appreciate every minute you spend there, just be correct and honest.
Meeting new people and making new connections increase our mental health.
As a volunteer, you develop your skills. Learning new things is exciting and gives you good feedback that you are much more capable of than you think.
In addition, you can put volunteering in your CV as a resourceful experience. And companies appreciate those who are willing to volunteer.
You can try new things, something you’ve never done before. This is an adventure!

BANNER+(2)

As a volunteer, you achieve things, and your work is appreciated. Remember, it’s not free. You give your precious time, which is your most crucial resource.
Giving back to our community helps us to join in and be a real part of them.
Helping others and experiencing their challenges will increase your empathy and understanding and give you a new perspective.
We all (okay, most of us) want to make the world a better place to live in. Volunteering is a perfect place to start. You can find hundreds of charities that already have visions, programs, and strategies. You can choose any of them. Let’s make change happen.
You can choose a role you are interested in administration, fundraising, event organising, helping around horses, and participating in sports events—so many options.
You can find volunteering opportunities in Scotland, some of which are paid on the links below.

It’s fun! Spending time with something you enjoy, helping others, learning new things helps you develop a better mental state, grow your empathy and connect with your emotions.

Theme of March: Happiness

13th Mar 202316th Mar 2023 ~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

In March we are talking a lot about happiness and why is this so important lately? Who can we describe what is happyness? Who can we measure it?

Fifty or even a hundred years ago, happiness as a phenomenon was not the central question of life. Much more focus was on everyday living, raising children, religion, community involvement, and work. Roughly from the 1950s, the values and experiences of the individual became popular much more. Our lifespan is much longer than it was before and If we think about just relationships and marriage, we spend more time together and expect much more from these connections than before. We develop as a couple, and we grow in our personality, spiritually etc. In our individualist society, happiness is essential. Countless social media platforms and advertisements suggest the importance of feeling happy and shame on you if you’re not.

Hundreds of self-help books promise you 5-10 tips and ways of happiness. Like it would be a pill you can take or a button you push and that’s all: you are happy forever. But emotions do not like that. The first thing it is interesting to consider is what is the area we feel unhappy. Give this feeling other words: burnout, unmotivated, uninterested, low mood, disappointed, stressed etc. Let’s think about how long we’ve been feeling this way and when was the last time we were truly immaturely happy. What has changed in our lives since then, both negatively and positively?

My clients usually contact me with a topic centred around their happiness. For example, they no longer feel in flow in that position, in that company, as before. Sometimes they love their partner but feel disconnected and lack the energy and time to spend quality moments together.

Just a few questions to consider:

What feelings do you have?

How happy are you in general?

How often do you feel this way?

How happy are you on a scale from 1 to 10?

When was the last time you felt happy?

What are the things keep you away from feeling happy?

Tell me more details about your feelings now. Make a note for yourself.
