About Jackie
I have always had an interest in alternative medicines and therapies and many years ago when the opportunity arose to study Swedish Massage I was first in the queue, at that time I had no idea I would end up taking it on as a career, I then went on to gain diploma's in Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Sports Massage and most recently Hot Stone Therapy. Many of the people who offered themselves as "Guinea Pigs" during my student years have now become regular clients, actually I suppose student years is the wrong term to use, as life itself is one big learning curve and even now I find there is always something new.
I have been a providing Complementary Therapy services for over 10 years over which time I have built up a large number of clientelle who return time and again. I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and as such abide by their code of practice, so you can rest assured that you are been treated by a profesional qualified therapist, you can learn more about the FHT here or by visiting their website http://www.fht.org.uk/.
I am based just outside of Leeds in the East Ardsley area of Wakefield, and less than 5 minutes drive from either junction 28 M62 or junction 41 M1, and just couple of minutes more from the White Rose Shopping Centre, (have you ever tried Reflexology after hours on your feet shopping?
My most popular services are Aromatherapy and Swedish Massage, both are ideal for forgetting about stress and putting your worries behind you, especially Aromatherapy with a combination of Essential Oils specifically tailored to suit your needs.
Aromatherapy
Essential oils which are extracted from plants and herbs are used through massage to alleviate a wide variety of conditions.
A specific blend of oils is chosen to suit the individual clients needs, Aromatherapy is especially effective for stress-related conditions.
Treatment consists of full body massage including the head and face and lasts approximately 75mins, a shorter treatment concentrating on the back only is available and lasts approximately 30mins
Hot Stone Therapy
Or Thermal Stone Therapy as it is also known, this treatment involves the placing of heated Volcanic Stones at specific points on the body, this is combined with Massage and provides a deeply relaxing experience.
This form of Treatment has been practised for thousands of years in one form or another by various cultures including Indian, Oriental, and even Native American Indians to name but a few.
The stones used in the treatment have laid embeded in the Earths Crust for thousands of years and are understood to have absorbed the Earths polarity, giving them both positive and negative qualities. The Basalt stone consists mainly of Olivine and Iron Magnesium, these metals give the stones their heat retaining properties and make them a very hard wearing and durable stone to work with.The heat penetrates the layers of skin by means of conduction and its benefits are many.Release Tension
Improve Circulation
Eliminate Wastes (Toxins)
Improve Energy Levels
Improve Joint Mobility
Reflexology
Also called Reflex Zone Therapy, This treatment consists of pressure and massage of the reflex points found on the feet which mirror the whole body. It unblocks the energy lines through the Chinese Meridians aiding self-healing and rebalance. It can be used as a preventative measure to maintain good health as well as a restorative treatment.
The treatment lasts approximately 45mins
Swedish Massage
Available as either stimulating or relaxing by variation of technique, This treatment stimulates blood circulation the immune system and improves flexibility in impaired limbs, helps to relieve tension and pain and is beneficial to blood pressure, muscle tone, digestion and skin tone.
Treatment lasts approximately 60mins and can be performed using oil or cream.
Indian Head Massage
Also known as Champissage, this ancient technique involves the massage and rubbing of the whole head and scalp area as well as the neck and shoulders. It is amongst the best stress-relieving techniques, It can be combined with essential oils.
The treatment last approximately 30mins
Sports Massage
This uses specific massage techniques to promote efficient healing of injuries to the body's soft tissue caused by sporting or other activities . It Is generally used in the maintenance of fitness, both pre and post event massage is available.
Treatment times will vary according to the injury.
Corporate Services
What better way to improve the efficiency of your workforce than keeping them relaxed and stress free, Office Workers and Call Centre Operators benefit enormously from relief of neck and shoulder tension, a 10 minute treatment is all it takes to ease away their pent up stress, whats even better is the fact that this can be done whilst the operative is still at their desk working.
I already provide Corporate Services for a major telephone company and a utilites provider, why not try it for your Company and discover the benefits yourself.
What my clients say ....
"Until you have had a treatment from Jackie you wont know the meaning of the word Relaxation, I have used Jackies services for several years now and I can honestly say she is one of the best therapists around, nothing helps me unwind more from a rigourous workout or a stressfull day at the office than an Aromatherapy Treatment from Jackie, and her expertise in Sports Therapy (though not quite as relaxing) soon eases away any muscular problems I may have from the Gym"
