About Reflexology
This complementary, holistic therapy aids in restoring the natural energy balance of the body.
The therapy is both old and new. The ancient Egyptians and early Chinese physicians worked on the feet to promote good health.
Many of these techniques are still used today though they have been adapted and developed into the modern scientific method now known as Reflexology.
Connecting the ancients with the modern is the long established principle that the body has energy zones which run through the body and that the reflex areas correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts Your treatment takes place in a quiet calm atmosphere in a tastefully decorated room away from the hubub and hurry of the workplace/outside world. No phones ringing, children fighting or people demanding, just quiet, calm tranquility encouraging you to relax,and unwind, allowing your body and mind to heal
Reflexology with Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses the essential oils derived from plants and trees to aid in promoting a healthy body and serene mind, just the smell of an essential oil can lift the spirit helping us to feel better. This is because the sense of smell is interrelated to the area of the brain which is primerily concerned with emotion and memory.
The oils will be blended to suit your particular needs and will be used to enhance your treatment.
Reflexology with Stone Therapy
This treatment combines the benefits of a Reflexology treatment with a number of heated basalt stones to enable deep stimulation of the Reflex points. The heat from the stones may improve the relaxation response which may help to increase healing through improved blood flow and circulation.
Ayurvedic Kansa Vatki Foot Massage
A deeply relaxing holistic treatment which may aid in rebalancing the body, mind and spirit.
For centuries India has used the Kansa Vatki (a small bowl made up of three metals) to work on the feet and lower limbs.
As in Reflexology which targets reflex points which correspond with bodily organs and systems, Kansa Vatki foot massage attention is given to massaging 'Marma points'. These points form the vital energy channels which run throughout the body. The Kansa Vatki is lubricated with oil and is rubbed against the soles of the feet and the lower limbs to the knees allowing for a deeply relaxing massage whilst stimulating the body to rebalance.
Foot Reading
Where Reflexology works to bring relaxation and balance back into the body, foot reading focuses on bringing balance back to the emotions. giving a much more holistic treatment.
Foot reading is NOT fortune telling! I cannot see into the future!
Foot reading is a means of determining an individuals personality traits
How?
The characteristics of your feet are a reflection of where you are in your life emotionally as well as showing your personality traits
For example high arches are found on very independent people who have strong inner resources. A very long big toe shows a person to be a good problem solver, often having multiple solutions to a given task whereas a short big toe is an indication that that person is a multi-tasker.
What are the benefits?
Foot reading can be used as part of a Reflexology treatment to give a more holistic treatment, or as a therapy in its own right to help clients identify and subsequently resolve issues in their lives which may enable them to move forward and reach their full potential.
Companies and businesses are beginning to recognise the advantages of foot reading in as much as by knowing where their employees strengths are they can place people in roles which will enable them to work to their full potential.
Hopi Ear Candling
( Thermo-auricular therapy)
The historical roots of ear candling go back many centuries, ancient rock paintings depict the use of ear candles during rituals and medicinal ceremonies. It is thought the oldest recorded use of ear candles is by the Hopi Pueblo tribe from South west America.
A German firm worked with the Hopi Pueblo tribe elders using their ancient knowledge to develop the modern day candles and hence the therapy was reintroduced to Europe.
Ear Candles have a purely physical function. Gentle suction (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a gentle vibration within the ear canal resulting in causing a gentle massage –like effect on the ear drum.
This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and balancing of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses.
Some conditions which an ear candling treatment may aid in soothing are :- ear pain, headache, ear noise, disrupted sleep, stress and nervous related conditions, travel related pressure/pain/nausea.
Treatments may also spontaneously cause freer nasal breathing, an improved sense of smell as well as inducing a sense of deep relaxation.
