Back, shoulder and head massage-massage counteracts stress by providing an opportunity for deep relaxation. At a physical level massage relieves muscle tension and headaches, eases pains such as arthritis and can improve sleep. Emotionally it soothes stress and tension, creates a feeling of well being, provides rest and relaxation and enhances self esteem.

 

Crystal Healing - Crystals have been used down through history for healing, personal reflection and meditation. Crystals work well with the human energy field, they can move, absorb, focus, direct and diffuse energy within the body. When the body is unwell or diseased it is usually because the person has in some way, lost their balance/natural rhythm. Working with crystalline energy helps the body to find that natural rhythm again. The crystal’s perfect atomic structure, gives out a resonance of perfection, a pattern for the body to follow. Crystal Healing is a therapy which is non invasive and can be used in conjunction with a number of other therapies and orthodox medicine.. Whilst receiving healing you may experience a sense of deep relaxation and well being. When the body is relaxed the immune system works more efficiently. Relaxation also aids in the relief of stress. Crystals can help with a number of conditions and situations. Crystal Healing gives you time to connect to your place of inner peace and healing.

 

Ear Acupuncture-Auricular (or Ear) Acupuncture is a specialised complementary therapy where acupuncture points on the outer ear are treated, using needles to help relieve many chronic complaints.

 

Facial Massage-give a natural facelift through massage. A gentle non-invasive approach to looking younger!  Facials work by primarily by freeing constrictions both within the facial muscles and in the connective tissue. Tension can build up within our facial muscles from the pressures of everyday life without us realising it. It can be easy for certain thoughts and emotions to become habitual, locking themselves into expressions on our faces - sometimes over a duration of a whole lifetime. Under such conditions muscles can actually “dry up” and contract, inhibiting freedom of expression. This can encourage ageing and the formation of wrinkles as the face loses its muscle tone and elasticity and begins to sag.

 

Homeopathy has been used in the UK for over two hundred years, but has an honourable tradition dating back to ancient Greece. It was Samuel Hahnemann, a brilliant doctor working in 1796 who developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this gentler way of healing. These scientific principles form the basis of successful homeopathic practice today.Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old. Homeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms, to give long lasting benefits.

  • Homeopathic treatment works with your body's own healing powers to bring health and well being.
  • Patients are treated as individuals, not as a collection of disease labels.
  • Homeopathy treats all your symptoms - mental, emotional and physical.
  • Homeopathic remedies are gentle, subtle and powerful.

Hot Stone Massage & Treatments-The stones are used in two ways during the massage. One is to impart heat onto the body by laying stones under the client with a layer of fabric between the client and stone (a sheet or towel) and/or on top of the client, again upon a towel. Stone layout typically will be along both sides of the the spine, or along the chakra centers and in the hands. While these layout stones are delivering concentrated centers of heat, the therapist is simultaneously massaging the client with oiled, heated stones held in the palm of the hand with firm strokes along the muscles of the legs, arms, and torso areas.An authentic hot stone massage is not simply the "gliding" of heated stones lightly upon the surface of the skin, but rather the stones are used as tools to deliver effective tissue and muscle massage at a pressure level comfortable to the client. The client can request light, medium or deep pressure, which is the beauty of the hot stone massage technique. It can be customized in an instant to the request of the client. The hardness of the stones makes for a fantastic deep tissue massage and is easy on the joints of the therapists hands.The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, increase the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the healing process. This increase in circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also aids in mental relaxation.
