Welcome to Ursula O'Regan Complementary Therapist
What is Complementary Therapy?
The basic principle of any Complementary Therapy should be “holistic” which means the whole person i.e. mind, body and spirit. Holistic healing is concerned with looking into the causes and prevention of illness rather than solely quelling symptoms.
A Complementary Therapist looks at the complete lifestyle of the person requiring help; diet and nutrition, amount of exercise taken, home environment, occupation or type of employment, relationships with family, leisure pursuits and very importantly attitude to life in general. All these added together make the whole person.
It is also about taking responsibility for our own health. So for lasting benefits, complementary therapies such as Aromatherapy and Reflexology should complement a healthy diet and lifestyle. Emotional disharmony can eventually manifest itself as physical illness. Aromatherapy and Reflexology can help to redress the balance by enabling a person to relax deeply, to let go of all their cares even for just a while!
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a specific pressure technique treatment which is usually applied to the feet but since the hands have the same reflex zones, it can be applied to the hands if necessary. The treatment affects all the internal structure and organs, which are mapped out in miniature on the soles of the feet, which correspond to each gland and structure in the body. The Reflexologist systematically applies this technique to many reflex points (from which the therapy takes its name) found on the foot to promote healing.
What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy means “a therapy using essential oils derived from plants”. These natural plant oils are applied in a variety of ways including massage, aromatic baths, inhalations, hot and cold compresses and mixed in creams and lotions. Essential oils are absorbed into the body in one of two ways either through the pores of the skin into the bloodstream during massage, or through nasal cavities during inhalation.
Essential oils can relax the mind and the body. They can relieve pain, and restore body systems to a state of equilibrium in which healing can take place. In addition, one of the best things about using essential oils is that they are pleasurable as well as therapeutic, which is another way they can enhance our feelings of well-being.
