Common Conditions/Ailments I treatAre you aware that over 80% of all illnesses are believed to be stress related? Regular massage or reflexology treatments can greatly reduce the effects of stress such as sleep problems, muscular aches & pains, headaches & migraines & digestive disorders. It is also a very effective treatment for anxiety & depression.
My Approach & what to expectEvery client is treated as an individual & with total confidentiality. A full consultation is taken at the first appointment where details of your lifestyle & medical history are discussed in order that the treatment may be tailored for you. The therapy room is warm & private & I use a specialised cushion system on the treatment couch which insures you are completely comfortable throughout your treatment. My couch also has a comfortable face hole so that no strain is put on your neck during your session.
As every client is different, the pressure of the massage will be adapted to suit your preference.
About TherapiesAromatherapy involves the use of essential oils with massage. It is excellent for relieving stress. Essential oils are extracted from plants, trees, flowers & herbs & are totally natural so suit all skin types – even sensitive ones. Essential oils have natural healing properties & when combined with massage can help relieve all types of ailments. An aromatherapy massage can leave you feeling revitalised, energised & also very relaxed.
Reflexology is a very ancient technique based on the feet representing a map of the body. Applying pressure to certain points on the feet can help alleviate different problems such as sinusitis, digestive problems & even sciatica. Combined with relaxing massage techniques a reflexology treatment will leave you feeling totally relaxed & re balanced.
Indian Head massage involves a massage of the upper back, neck back & shoulders, arms & scalp. It also includes a facial massage & is carried out whilst you are seated in a comfortable & supportive chair. It is an excellent treatment to help with sleep problems & migraines & headaches.
