Reflexology & Aromatherapy
SERVICES
Welcome to Life Zest Ltd
Life Zest is a complementary therapy practice established by Mayan Kurdi MIPTI, an experienced therapist in the treatment of many conditions including stress, PMS, digestive disorders, arthritis and migraines.
In addition, Mayan specialises in the treatment of women during pregnancy.
Treatments are offered at the Life Zest clinic in Camberwell, South East London. Home visits may also be possible by prior arrangement.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment based on the principle that the anatomy of the body is reflected in miniature on reflex zones on the feet. During the treatment various pressure techniques are applied to these "reflexes".
Pregnancy Treatments
Mayan specialises in the treatment of women during pregnancy. Pregnancy massage can help alleviate muscular aches and fluid retention, particularly in the final weeks of pregnancy.
In addition, reflexology can provide effective and safe relief from many of the discomforts of pregnancy.
Treatment is possible at all stages of pregnancy, including first trimester, as long as the mother is happy to have treatment and there are no contraindications presented. Reflexology can be very helpful in reducing morning sickness and providing relief for fluid retention, heartburn, constipation, sleeplessness and fatigue.
Some studies have indicated that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can help make labour times shorter as well as reducing the need for medical interventions.
Aromatherapy
Most commonly the treatment involves the application of blended essential oils in a massage of the body. However, the essential oils can also be applied through inhalations, baths, creams and lotions.
Facial treatments are also available and usually include cleansing, exfoliation, facial massage using acupressure points and a clay mask with essential oils, followed by the application of a freshly made moisturising cream.
QUALIFICATION DETAILS
Mayan Kurdi completed a foundation course in Tui-na massage (Chinese acupressure massage) in March 2005 and obtained an IEB diploma in Reflexology in August 2005. Later that year, she further developed her skills by undergoing an IFR course in pregnancy and labour reflexology which was taught by Ann Ellis and Renee Tanner, possibly the most eminent reflexologist in the UK today. Since then she has worked extensively and successfully with pregnant women.
In June 2007, Mayan obtained an AAPA diploma in Holistic and Clinical Aromatherapy.
Mayan is a member of Independent Professional Therapists International (IPTI).
