Treatments
Hopi Ear Candling AKA Thermal Auricular Therapy
This is a very pleasant non invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions.
During treatment, the candles work in three phases, the first being a chimney effect where gentle suction draws out debris such as ear wax and mucus from the sinuses. Next, the mild heat stimulates the blood and lymph circulation, boosting the immune system, therefore boosting the body's natural cleansing action. Finally a regulation of the pressure within the middle ear and which affects balance and regulation of the pressure within the sinuses.
You do not need to be worried about being burnt. The candles have a filtering system so that no residue can enter the ear.
The procedure is used for both ears (even if there is only a problem in one of them) to ensure balance is maintained. After the treatment a facial massage is performed to drain the sinuses and lymph and to relax the client.
To acheive maximum benefits a course of treatments is recommended
The contents of the candles are then examined and explained.
Some of the conditions which are alleviated using the candles are:Tinitus
Compact ear wax
Glue ear
Sinusitis
Hay fever
Rhinitis
Vertigo
Neuralgia
Balance problems

Remedial Massage involves the use of traditional Swedish Massage (see below) with a wide range of diagnostic techniques and range of deeper pressures and moves to treat either specific conditions or general tension and muscle adhesion also known as "knots". Remedial Massage can be helpful in treating specific areas of muscle tension caused by stress or injury. The therapy also helps to get the blood flowing to injured tissue to speed up the repair process. Remedial Massage can also be used for relaxation and general well being.

The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them and using a variety of moves such as stroking, kneading, warming, rolling and pressing of the skin (pressure according to the clients preference).

Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is a speciality Massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. Its a deeply soothing and relaxing form of massage wher the heat helps tight muscles release. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, increases the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the the healing process. This in turn increases the circulation to help eliminate toxins and waste products creating a greater sense of well being both physically and mentally. This treatment is often described as "complete bliss"

Hot Lava shell Massage
This revolutionary and unique Massage for both women and men uses naturally self warming Tiger Clam shells to deliver a seamless treatment tailored to suit the clients requirements. The warm smooth shells are expertly guided over the body with varying pressures, techniques and precision enabling the therapist to reach the deepest aches and pains alleviating all stress and tension. A truly beneficial and blissful treatment.
The tummy treatment is a natural version of a colonic cleanse. The digestive system is improved and regulated with encouraging massage strokes both manually and using the shells around the abdominal area. The combination of the soothing heat and gentle massage stimulates the body's natural natural systems to effectively eliminate toxins and reduce bloating thus creating that "flatter tummy"

Aromatherapy (via massage)
Aromatherapy works on our sense of smell and by being absorbed into the blood stream. About 15% of the air we inhale goes to the roof of the nose where olfactory receptors transport odours straight to a part of the brain called the limbic system. This area is connected with instinct, moods and emotion, and is thought that Aromatherapy may stimulate the release of chemicals which in turn play a part in unlocking emotions through association.
A tailor made blend of essential oils can be blended to suit the individuals emotional/physical conditions and when used in conjunction with massage, the pressure of the effleurage (stroking) penetrates the micro molecules of the essential oils directly through the skin and into the blood stream thus working quicker and more effectively.
