Aromatherapy
What is it?
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries for religious and health benefits and is the use of pure essential oils from plants and flowers. The oils are the energetic life force of the plants and flowers and work on a mind, body and spirit level.
Aromatherapy is an holisitic therapy and is a gentle form of massage unlike swedish and sports therapy massage.
Clients say that the combined use of aromatic oils and therapeutic touch is just what they need to combat all their stress related problems.

Cleanses the body of toxins

What Aromatherapy can help with
Many physical and emotional problems can be helped including:
What to expect
Your first visit will be slightly longer as I will take a full case history which will include some lifestyle and medical details. These will be kept in the strictest confidence.
The consultation will enable me to then blend oils specifically for you and your needs.
You will then be asked to lie on a couch and be covered in warm towels ready for your treatment. Only the part of the body being massaged will be uncovered at any time. Your comfort and security are most important. Soothing music will be played throughout the treatment.
You maybe offered home treatments with similar oils so that you will be able to continue treatment between visits.
After your massage its important to drink as much water as possible and to cut down on tea and coffee for at least 24 hours.
Most clients leave feeling relaxed and calm with a renewed feeling of wellbeing.

Reiki
What is reiki ?
Its pronounced Ray-Key ,Rei meaning universal and Ki meaning life energy. It is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation and healing.
Reiki is not the same as faith healing and is totally non denominational, so is open to all.
What to expect
You maybe asked for a few contact details at the beginning of your first visit then you will lie down on a couch fully clothed and as the Reiki practitioner I will then lay hands on or just above the body.
Usually I start with the head and shoulders and then move on down towards the toes.
As a practitioner I do not direct the energy, it will flow where it is needed.
Some people are more sensitive than others and will feel heat, cold or tingling on the part of the body being treated, as the treatment progresses but it is never an unpleasent feeling.
Reiki will leave most people feeling very relaxed.

Indian Head Massage
What is it?
Indian Head Massage has been used for hundreds of years and in India is known as champissage. It was generally used by the women to massage their scalps and enhance the condition of their long hair.
It was introduced in 1973 by Narendra Mehta after he came to this country and found he couldnt get this treatment here, while he was training to be a Physiotherapist. So during a Health Fair he offered treatments to visitors and it was so popular he decided to teach it and its now a popular treatment here too.
Companies can book sessions as a treat for their employees so that they can chill out over lunch time a return to work energised.
What to expect
This is the ideal treatment for people who are busy its done through clothing and is a seated massage. Western massage dosent use oils, although in India, they still use them.
The scalp, neck and upperback are massaged and clients leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.
On your first visit you will be asked some details before the treatment is carried out.

Thermo Auricular Therapy (or Hopi Ear Candling)
I only use Biosun Candles, as these are the only ones that are safety-checked and have a safety filter to allow simple and safe application. They contain only natural ingredients such as bees wax, honey extract, sage, St Johns Wort, camomile and pure essentail oils.
What to Expect
A brief consultation will be taken and then you will be asked to lie on the couch on your side.The candle will then be inserted into your ear and held by myself throughout the treatment. They usually take approx 12 mins to burn down and then treatment will be repeated in the other ear.
Both ears are always treated.

After a while you can sit up and you will then be offered a glass of water.
Most people enjoy the warming effect and relaxation given by the candles.
