'Holistic Therapist'

 Background

First there was 'Holistica' which established in 2021 providing personally tailored massage treatments, Pilates classes, and Raja yoga sessions as a mobile service to all areas of West Yorkshire, UK.  

Then 'Holistica Training Centre' began in 2023 providing workshops and educational development projects in 
Body Awareness and Body Posture.  Click here for FAQ.

Now there is 'Holistica Education' that teaches PSHE 'Wellness Workshops' in West Yorkshire schools.  

And Holistica's Relaxing Retreat Afternoons

Holistica's motto and ethos is at the heart of all services: "Every human being has a responsibility to care, and the foundation of being a good carer is to know what being cared for feels like."

Beneficial to your client and yourself...

Massage can de-stress, feels good, and is known to boost happiness. 


All of us want to be happy.  For a caregiving person, it is usually top priority.  But did you know the natural chemicals released during times of happiness are not just solely for the person receiving the care?  It is an exchange of energies that can be nurtured and developed between both the person you're giving to and yourself. 


So if you are having trouble finding your happy place, Holistica's massage therapy training can help you develop your dopamine wellbeing.

Jessica Blackbond

At the heart of Jessica Blackbond's personable and friendly holistic therapy you will find contagious passion, knowledge, and care guiding you with explanations of the how's and why's in a way that makes sense!

Jessica worked as a professional contemporary dancer for stage and television until stage fright ceased her career and led her to open a holistic therapy dance and wellness studio.  'Holistica Health, Fitness and Dance' was originally set up in 2006 at Mabgate Mills, Leeds West Yorkshire.

With a desire to travel the world while developing anatomy, physiology, philosophy, and body healing skills Jessica ceased business in 2011 and was very fortunate to travel and study overseas - countries including Africa, America, India, and Australia, and to work overseas - countries including China, French Polynesia (the Cook Islands), and Croatia. 

While taking her sabbatical to experience other cultures and learn self care techniques Jessica wrote a number one Amazon bestselling book ‘The Way You Move Says It All’, created the blueprint to Holistica Training Centre with a core purpose to provide opportunities for you to think more deeply about YOUR own wellness, and wrote notes for her second book 'Eastern Philosophy, Western Talk'.

Inspired by Western and Eastern techniques, Jessica's strong massages include a rich mix of Swedish, Lomi Lomi, Chinese reflexology, and Indian Head.  A fully relaxing massage that gets deep into muscles, works out tension, and helps eliminate toxins and stress to give you a feeling of surreal contentment and peace.

Jessica also works as a supply primary school teacher, and is a proud dog mum to Ralph.
