AROMATHERAPY
An ancient art using pure essential plant oils which help the body to heal itself naturally and enhance well being. It is a truly ‘Holistic Therapy’, aiming to treat the whole person, taking into account their mind, body and spirit.
Aromatherapy Massage is performed slowly to induce total relaxation and help bring about stress relief. Energy channels within the body are worked upon using pressure points to help unblock and slowly disperse energy as well as relieving tension from the nerve tracts, specifically the nerve tracts within the spine which constitute the nerve supply to the whole body.
Lymphatic drainage techniques hasten the removal of lymph and aids removal of toxins from the body. Other techniques include deep tissue, connective tissue, neuromuscular and effleurage which all help to increase vitality and energy in the body, as well as relieving tension from the muscles.
A synergetic blend of essential oils will be chosen for each person’s individual needs.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
A complete treatment based on old Ayuverdic techniques. Involving work on the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face using a variety of massage movements to relieve accumulated tension, stimulate circulation and restore joint mobility.
The chakra energies are worked upon enabling the chakra’s to become rebalanced, so that the recipient feels rejuvenated, energized, relaxed and more able to cope with every-day life.
It also aids the condition and health of the hair, particularly when combined with the use of natural organic oils.
A treatment will take about 20 minutes and can be done anywhere. No clothing needs to be removed and no equipment, except a chair is required. The treatment begins with deep kneading, pressures, and chopping & hacking techniques to the shoulders, arms and neck areas. The head is then worked with the scalp been rubbed, squeezed and gently tapped. The hair is briskly tussled, and then softly stroked through. Areas of the face are manipulated, acupressure points around the sinus area are worked and pressure points in the ears are stimulated, finishing with light stroking. Colour visualisation helps to rebalance the Throat, Forehead (Third eye), and Crown Chakras. The client is then is grounded bringing them back round to full awareness, as the treatment may induce a feeling of euphoria.
This is a great treatment for those feeling the strain of working at a computer all day long.
REFLEXOLOGY
A natural healing art thought to have originated in China and Egypt. The earliest evidence of work on the reflexes of the hands and feet was in an Egyptian of physician {approx.} 2,500 BC. It is based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and in the hands which correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. The technique of reflexology involves using the thumb and fingers to apply pressure on these reflex points. By stimulating more than 7,000 nerves during a treatment the reflexologist can generate the following benefits:
Deep tranquil relaxation and stress relief
Revitalize the body and supply it with energy on all levels
Improve nerve transmission by encouraging the opening and clearing of neural pathways
Increase blood circulation, supplying the body with fresh oxygenated blood, more nutrients and a more efficient elimination of waste products
Balance, helping over and under active glands and organs to return to their normal functioning level.
Since reflexology treats the whole person, not the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment. It is a totally safe therapy. Discomfort may be felt in some areas, indicating congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body.
Treatment is suitable for all ages, and brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Once the body is in-tune, it is wise to have regular treatments in order to maintain health and well-being. An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and harmonizing the body.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Receiving regular therapeutic massage throughout pregnancy is a nurturing way to improve the quality of this amazing transformative period of your life, and helps to minimise the physical and emotional challenges. Also research has shown that women, who receive a nurturing touch during later pregnancy, touch their babies more often and lovingly, thus helping mother and baby to connect and create a loving bond as early as possible.
A truly blissful gift for any pregnant lady.
The treatment takes place on a large couch, using body support cushions, the mother will rest in a side-lying or semi-reclyned position offering her full support and relaxation. A combination of therapeutic massage techniques can alleviate muscle tension, reduce stress and induce relaxation. Circulation is improved, aiding the supply of nutrients and oxygenated blood to both mother and baby. Both active and passive movements alleviate stress on weight-bearing joints, relieve fatigue and musculoskeletal pain, and enable the mother to cope with the ever shifting centre of gravity. This can also help ease the moment of labour by preparing the muscles for release and support during child birth. Birthing partners may also learn basic massage strokes which they may apply to the mother, aiding a shorter and less complicated labour. Energy meridians are worked upon, balancing and energising the body. Finally and foremost the therapy sessions also provide emotional support giving the mother a chance to unburden their worries, fears and other anxieties.
