The therapies available provide a therapeutic oasis to allow:-
* relief of tense, tired, aching muscles and joints

* a unique and deeply meditative safe haven to enrich the spirit, or
* an up-lifting, refreshing, invigorating and re-energising experience
All working towards restoring your body's own natural inner balance and harmony.
Amma Fusion Massage
This therapy gets its origins from ancient healing systems by using an exciting fusion of the most effective Eastern massage/bodywork techniques, based on concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Drawing from disciplines such as acupressure, table shiatsu and tui na, to bring about an energising and revitalising body treatment.
Amma Fusion helps to unblock stagnant Qi (energy), opening the body to give your energy space to move and flow more freely. Increasing overall health and vitality by restoring the balance and stream of energy in the body's channels - known as meridians or pathways of energy. The channels of Qi help to nourish and defend the body's systems.
Sensitivity and communication plays a fundamental role in Amma Fusion Massage to facilitate the breath work, natural touch, flow, movement and balance of energy. Its paced, rhythmic and precise movements affect both the superficial and deep tissues, to encourage relaxation and the release of muscle tension.
Helpful for tension headaches/migraines, muscle tension, sinus problems, digestive complaints, chronic fatigue, PMS, and more. Refreshing and invigorating for the body, soothes the emotions + clears the mind. Amma Fusion can also be used as a great preventative measure and energy booster, or as part of a general body maintenance programme. This therapy is carried out whilst fully clothed.

"The total body massages were magnificent, healing and soothing to my body." DS Yardley Wood
Indian Head Massage
Based on the ayurvedic system of healing, Indian Head Massage has been practiced in India for over 4,000 years. it involves a combination of massage, the use of acupressure points to the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face, and the flow of healing energy referred to as 'Prana' within the Indian culture. This energy forms an integral part to the treatment, with the aim of clearing blocked energy channels associated with the build up of tension that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints.
Good for headaches/migraines, eye strain, plus physical and/or emotional stress. Relieves - physical and mental fatigue; plus tense, stiff, aching neck and shoulder muscles and joints. Stimulates the release of endorphins to relieve pain/discomfort. Promotes clearer thinking, improved concentration and alertness. Enhances the circulation to your skin, hair & scalp, encouraging cell regeneration, promoting healthy hair growth. The welcome relief of tension is felt almost instantaneously.
Brings balance to your subtle energies, engaging the body, mind, and spirit connection. This therapy is usually performed in a seated position and carried out whilst fully clothed.
'M' Technique
Initially devised by Dr Jane Buckle to support patients in hospital who were fragile or in a critical care setting. The therapy is now generally available to anyone wishing to access a relaxing and calming treatment.
'M' Techinique uses light, nurturing and supporting touch performed in a structured pattern, set pressure and speed, to allow familiarity and build your confidence through touch. It is particularly useful for those who are feeling fragile (physically and/or emotionally) due to illness. Can help to reduce feelings of stress, fear, grief and anger + ease and soothe chronic pain and fatigue.
Achieves a deep calm and profound relaxation during periods of agitation to quieten and encourage deeper breathing - described as 'physical hypnotherapy'. Its soothing repetition helps to build confidence. Useful if you are hesitant about using touch therapies for the first time.
Reiki - 'Energy in Harmony'
Reiki is a beautiful ancient form of natural healing developed by Mikao Usui in Japan. 'Rei' means universal and 'Ki' refers to the life force energy that flows through all living things. As a result Reiki is referred to as 'universal life force energy', a great medium which forms one of the key energy foundations of our being.
Reiki energy is powerful, yet gently works with your body's own internal healing energy centres to release blocked energy channels, flowing to where it is needed the most to provide benefit to your general health and well being. Induces feelings of calm and relaxation, and is a great de-stressor. It invokes a sense of inner peace and stillness within. Assists in the recovery and healing process of chronic health conditions; helps to soothe and relieve pain; and aids the body when at rest, therefore encouraging a better sleep pattern.
Reiki can bring about self awareness, encourage positive thinking to create a comfortable state of being. Improving self belief and inner confidence to further assist in your personal growth and development.
Your Reiki journey and experience will be unique to you and your health needs. This therapy is carried out whilst fully clothed.
