The oils can have a physical effect by causing chemical changes in your body’s systems, and a psychological effect when you inhale the fragrance.

Hot Stones Massage.

The stones are used in two ways during the massage. One is to impart heat onto the body by laying stones under the client with a layer of fabric between the client and stone (a sheet or towel) and/or on top of the client, again upon a towel. Stone layout typically will be along both sides of the spine, or along the chakra centres on top and baseball sized stones would be placed in the hands. While these layout stones are delivering concentrated centres of heat, the therapist is simultaneously massaging the client with oiled, heated stones held in the palm of the hand with firm strokes along the muscles of the legs, arms, and torso areas.

An authentic hot stone massage is not simply the "gliding" of heated stones lightly upon the surface of the skin, but rather the stones are used as tools to deliver effective tissue and muscle massage at a pressure level comfortable to the client. The client can request light, medium or deep pressure, which is the beauty of the hot stone massage technique. It can be customized in an instant to the request of the client. The hardness of the stones makes for a deep tissue massage and is easy on the joints of the therapists hands.

The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, increase the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the healing process. This increase in circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also aids in mental relaxation. Mental relaxation is key when a Therapist is attempting to work into deeper muscles of the body
Hot Stones Massage £45.00.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a popular and relaxing holistic treatment based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops and sides of the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way, the feet can be sees as a “map” of the body.

It can help with a variety of complaints, IBS, migraines, PMT, arthritis, infertility and many more.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage (IHM) is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, which has been practised in India for thousands of years. IHM has been developed in the West as a revitalising and relaxing therapy which treats the shoulders, neck, face and upper back as well as the scalp, thus helping alleviate many of the stresses caused by our modern lifestyle. IHM also benefits the health of the hair and scalp.

Indian Head Massage is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. It helps increase mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. The whole experience is deeply calming and relaxing and will leave you feeling energised, revitalised and better able to concentrate.

REIKI

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us. A Natural Healing.

Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by a burning question, Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.

There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.

A Reiki Treatment
The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is a very simple process. The recipient simply lies on a couch and relaxes. If they are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position, the main thing is for the recipient to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything, even plaster casts. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. A full treatment usually takes 1 to 1½ hours with each position held for several minutes.


Which conditions can Reiki help?
It is possible to heal at any level of being: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly but more chronic illness takes longer. In some cases such as terminal illness, there is not enough time for the progress of the disease to be reversed. However, in such cases there is usually great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.

Reiki healing can be given anywhere at any time as no special equipment is needed. The practitioner is a channel which the energy is drawn through by the need or imbalance in the recipient. Neither person has to use any effort of will or concentration during this process.

As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one's life.

Ayurvedic Facial Massage

Ayurvedic Facial Massage is also known as Indian Facial Massage or Facial Rejuvenation. It is a technique based on Ayurvedic principles which precisely stimulates and lifts the muscles and tissues of the face, freeing up tension and encouraging relaxation. It stimulates the circulation and lymphatic drainage, thereby helping to eliminate toxins.

Ayurvedic Facial Massage has a “lifting” effect on the muscles and skin of the face, producing a rejuvenated appearance, which is both literally and psychologically uplifting. With a course of treatments, this “lifting” is intensified. Because of this, Ayurvedic Facial Massage may help reduce the appearance of (or even proactively prevent) lines and wrinkles.

£40.00.


Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage offers many important benefits. It helps stimulates the circulation of both blood and lymph, and this moves tissue fluid into the lymph vessels.

Research shows that lymphatic drainage massage can push up to 78% of stagnant lymph into circulation. One particular study from 2009 showed that lymphatic drainage massage led to significant improvements in pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, and health-related quality of life in women with primary fibromyalgia.

Lymph drainage massage can help improve toxins and wastes from the tissues. Increased lymph flow will also boost immunity, reduce the risk of infection, and speed the healing of inflammation.
The relaxation brought on by lymphatic drainage massage may also help relieve headaches and reduce pain, depression, stress, fatigue, and insomnia. Moreover, deep abdominal drainage massage can decrease abdominal pain and constipation.
