Reflexology is a natural, holistic therapy that encourages the body to re-balance.
Using pressure applied to reflex points on the feet, it is suitable for most people.
It's so very relaxing & a huge stress reliever. When stress levels are reduced, the body functions more optimally.
Reflexology is not a Diagnostic therapy - I can not tell you what is wrong with you, I can only aim to bring a bit more balance to your life!
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage
RLD is a unique reflexology technique, researched & developed by Sally Kay, whilst working in Cancer Care. It focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet, in order to improve the lymphatic system.
Primarily designed to assist people suffering with Lymphoedema, it has also shown to benefit some Auto Immune conditions.
Please note Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage is not a massage, like Manual Lymphatic Drainage. It is a Reflexology technique.
*For Lymphoedema the recommended treatment plan is 1 treatment a week for 6 weeks, reducing to a maintenance plan.
Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology is a beautifully relaxing treatment, that utilises pressure points on the face & scalp to promote relaxation, reduce stress, boost the circulation & aid Lymphatic drainage.
It is very different to a Facial, though it does incorporate a cleanse and tone.
* Not suitable for those who have had Botox or fillers in the past 2 weeks
The Quinn Neuropractic Technique
This technique is a very efficient, holistic approach to working with the body, to bring relief from pain and to help accelerate the body’s recovery from injury. It involves assessing the body for mis-alignment & correcting this, using gentle movements, at specific points, that will trigger the body into correcting itself, in turn, alleviating aches & pains & tension in the body.
The results are often instant, but can sometimes take 24 - 48 hours to feel the full benefit.
This treatment is performed over clothes, therefore please wear, loose, comfortable clothing such as sports wear & avoid wearing Jeans or heavy / bulky clothing.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy is a very gentle massage, where the hands merely assist the oils to work their magic. It is a very hypnotic process, leaving the client feeling deeply relaxed.
Essential oils have many properties that are beneficial to the body, in addition to smelling absolutely heavenly.
The oils that are selected for the massage are tailored to the individual, based on what is happening with them at the time. It is a very personalised treatment, which has many benefits including promoting good sleep patterns and reducing stress.
*Not suitable during pregnancy
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is very different to Aromatherapy massage. It uses more intense movements & a deeper pressure with unscented oil. The many benefits include easing muscle tension, improving circulation and increasing energy.
This treatment can be tailored to suit your needs - It can be as relaxing as you need it to be, or we can incorporate deeper movements if you prefer.
However, if you are looking for a painful massage, then I am NOT the therapist for you! I do not hold any belief in the "No pain, no gain" theory. If you are feeling pain & discomfort, then there is tension in the body, so to create more is counter productive. We can achieve just as much, if not more, with a more gentle approach.
*Not suitable during pregnancy
Hot Stones Massage
Whilst I no longer offer the Traditional Hot Stones Massage, with "placing of the stones", I can incorporate Hot Stones to your treatment, either for relaxation purposes, or to add heat, to prepare for deeper tissue work.
Adding Heat to a massage offers many benefits. A Heated Stone massage is very relaxing, yet the stones can add depth to the treatment. Working alongside my own massage technique, the use of basalt stones adds a whole new dimension!
*Not suitable during pregnancy
Oncology Massage
Using a Very light touch, with adapted positions to suit the client and their comfort, Oncology massage is a gentle, relaxing therapy that allows the client to take some time away from their cancer treatment and diagnosis, and re-connect with themselves.
Please do feel free to call me and discuss your treatment requirements prior to booking. It might be that you can tolerate a full hour, or it might be that 30 minutes is more than enough. What is important is that YOU get the most out of your massage.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage promotes a deep level of relaxation - We all know the best part of going to the hairdressers is the massage during the hair wash!
It eases tension in the head, neck and shoulders - The perfect treatment for those working at desks all day, or who tend to hunch when feeling stressed.
IHM is traditionally a dry, seated massage, with oils used in the hair, if desired. I have however, adapted my treatment, to give the massage in a prone position, as I think it provides a higher level of relaxation.
*Not suitable during pregnancy
Holistic Facial
A good Facial can improve the texture of the skin, increase the circulation & encourage cellular activity & rejuvenation. It is as relaxing as it is beneficial.
Using Pre-blended, natural, aromatherapy products, you will benefit from a double cleanse, tone, exfoliation, face mask & facial massage. During the application of the face mask, you will experience the joys of Reflexology, whilst we wait for the mask to work its magic!
* Not suitable during pregnancy, or who have had Botox or fillers in the past 2 weeks
Signature Facial
Combining the best of both worlds with a mixture of Holistic Facial & Reflexology techniques.
You will benefit from a cleanse, tone, exfoliation & Mask. Whilst the mask works it's magic, you will experience a mini Reflexology Treat for the Feet, followed by deeply relaxing Facial Reflexology techniques to boost the circulation & improve Lymphatic Drainage.
Complete with Facial Ice Globes & a little scalp massage, this treatment offers the ultimate relaxation experience.
* Not suitable during pregnancy or for those who have had Botox or fillers in the past 2 weeks
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese system of energy healing, formed on the principle of transferring energy through the palms of the hands of the practitioner, whose hands are placed either on or near the body of the recipient.
Reiki is a very relaxing, meditative treatment, that can improve your overall sense of well-being. The treatment is usually around 40 minutes in length.
