Aromatherapy
holistic massage
uses essential oils carefully extracted from
flowers,
leaves,
bark, grasses, and other parts of plants, and are the 'essential life force' of the
plant.
Used in massage essential oils
have a range of therapeutic properties and are carefully chosen and blended in a
base carrier oil (such as sweet almond, jojoba, avocado and peach kernel) to suit
your own particular needs or condition. Aromatherapy massage aims to improve circulation, soothe the nervous
system, improve the immune system, rebalance energies through acupressure points and generally
aid relaxation. The effects can be uplifting and stimulating, or relaxing,
calming and balancing.

Reflexology is
a form of foot massage that activates ‘reflex’ points on the
feet relating
to all
parts of the body.
Massaging these reflex areas aids the body to balance and heal itself.
Reflexology
developed in the mid-20th Century and although as a therapy is relatively new, foot massage has taken place for thousands of years with its
roots in Ancient Egypt, India and China.
Energy blockages can occur in
the body and the reflex areas on the feet are massaged to help clear the
blockages and encourage energy flow.
Reflexology also works on the thousands of nerve endings in the feet, creating a
deeply relaxing treatment for body and mind.
Can
be helpful for a number of conditions, including stress-related problems.
Using either pure carrier oil
(such as Sweet Almond) or aromatherapy blended oils.
Reflexology
treatment: 45 mins

Reiki (pronounced
Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy or ‘Ki’ (an energy
which is all around us). Reiki is a Japanese natural therapy used to help
balance Ki and regain harmony within the whole person, physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual. There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can
receive a Reiki treatment.
|
A Reiki treatment
is received fully clothed, on a massage couch
in our comfortable treatment rooms. There are two
practitioners working together during one session. The practitioners gently
place their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions, which cover the
whole body.

Essensa
Hot Stone Therapy is
a massage technique that draws upon the ancient Native American tradition of
using heated stones on the body. The stones used are naturally shaped,
volcanic basalt. The heat of the stones promote a deep effect of
relaxation on the muscles, helping to alleviate stress and tension and creating
a sense of balance and harmony.
Essensa products originate from Provence, France and are 100 % natural and contain
pure plant and flower essences. They contain no synthetic or animal-derived ingredients, no
artificial fragrances, colorants or preservatives and have never been
tested on animals. "Essensa
captures the Life Essence of Plants with Exceptional Care to Revitalise,
Energise and Purify the Body and Skin".
At
the end of the treatment, the body is cocooned in a thermoblanket, whilst gem
stones are placed on the body to work on energy centres (chakras); recovery
period approx 5-10 mins. Whilst
the skin and body is improved by the essential oils of the skin treatment, the
stones are working on the energies and whole being of the person, providing a
true holistic therapy.

Thermal Auricular Therapy (Hopi Ear Candling)
is
a relaxing and calming treatment, originating from the Hopi Pueblo Indians of SW
USA. Can be helpful for a number of conditions, including compacted or excessive ear wax, sinus congestion,
tinnitus, headaches and anxiety. The
candle acts as a chimney and a current of warm air gently massages the eardrum
and 'dries up' any moisture. Using only BIOSUN ear candles, which are made
from cotton and contain other natural ingredients, such as honey, sage, chamomile and St John's Wort.
The herbs are warmed as the candle burns down and the 'smoke' adds to the
cleansing and healing affect. A crackling and hissing
noise is experienced
as the candles burn down (this is normal). 
The
treatment is carried out on a massage couch and includes a face and scalp
massage to add to the relaxing effect of the candling treatment.

Ear Candling (including face & scalp massage): 45 mins
