Aromatherapy
In an aromatherapy massage, natural essential oils are blended individually for
each client. This type of fragrant massage uses lymphatic drainage techniques
tailored to suit the clients needs, which can promote a sense of relaxation and
well being.
Holistic Massage
Holistic massage based on Swedish techniques can be relaxing or invigorating and
is also tailored to the clients needs. This is a wonderful treatment for the
release of muscle tension and stress while stimulating the circulation and
lymphatic systems.
Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient form of therapy which aims to restore balance and
harmony to the body, mind, emotions and spirit. In this treatment pressure and
massage are applied to the reflex points found on the feet, hand and head in
much the same way Acupuncture works but without the needles. This form of
treatment helps to bring about a natural equilibrium on all levels of being.
This unique therapy helps reduce stress, induces relaxation, helps cleanse the
body of toxins and impurities and ignite the body's own inner physician and much
more.
Deep Tissue, Trigger point and Orthopedic Massage
This is a deeper more specific massage for Chronic Pain and Sports Injuries. This
massage works the deeper layers of muscles and attachments breaking down the
adhesions which can restrict movement.
Energy Balancing
In energy work the therapist works on and around the clients clothed body to
gently assist the realignment of the clients own electro magnetic energy field.
This hands on healing can accelerate the bodies own natural healing ability.
This form of treatment also works very subtly on all levels of the person to
promote balance, health, wholeness and well being. This treatment is energising
and relaxing so as to enable the client's own natural resources to operate more
effectively. Great benefits can be seen in Acute and Chronic conditions, recent
losses and shock etc. This treatment can be applied on its own or can be used in
conjunction with other treatments, whether these are complimentary, alternative,
conventional or orthodox.
Stress Management & Relaxation Counseling
In the session clients are encouraged to identify, explore and manage their
stresses, worries and concerns in a safe way, using numerous proven techniques
and strategies. The therapist role is mainly as a coach for the client, helping
them setting goals etc, "the little do-able life changes" necessary in their
journey towards wellness, much like life coaching. Stress is said to be one of
the main contributing factors in most diseases.
Thermal Auricular Therapy - Ear Coning
This is an Age Old method of treating the ears in order to bring about balance,
this therapy works well with Ear, Nose and Throat conditions, such as Sinusitis,
Ear Infections, Sore Throats, Vertigo, Migraine and many more acute or chronic
disorders of the head.
Counselling & Psychotherapy
In this unique, confidential relationship the therapist is genuine, respectful
and empathetic which encouraged the client to talk about their issues and
concerns. Counselling is regarded as more goal-oriented, dealing more with
here-and-now issues and the nature of the work is usually short-term.
Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is more process-oriented, dealing with past
issues and the work is long-term in nature.
