Holistic Massage
Holistic Massage involves a variety of techniques designed to relax muscles, increase oxygen in the blood and release toxins from muscles. As well as providing specific medical benefits, holistic massage improves general health and wellbeing.
 
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly.
 
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face, ears and energy balancing. The treatment is carried out with the client sitting down, fully clothed and it usually lasts 30 minutes.
 
Kahuna Massage
The Hawaiian people view all aspects of the body as one, believing that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the ‘whole self’. What makes Kahuna massage such a very special style is the application of flowing strokes using forearms, elbows as well as two hands combining body draining, soft and deep tissue massage, and energy balancing to form a very dynamic combination of movement, dance, rhythm, breath, flowing movements to, creating a very fluid rhythmical massage. This is a wonderful all body experience in which science, wisdom, beauty and joy come together as one in the core of our being.
 
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial Rejuvenation is a natural face lift through massage. It is designed to be a gentle non-invasive approach to looking younger. It works primarily by freeing constrictions both within the facial muscles and in the connective tissue. Through a combination of gentle massage of the face and energy balancing, the facial muscles are given a new lease of life. Although it is difficult to stave off the ageing process, Facial Rejuvenation can do much to extend the appearance of youth and beauty and help us to take care of the assets we possess. In addition to a more youthful complexion this treatment promotes total relaxation and is excellent for tension headaches, eyestrain and stress related symptoms.
 
Reflexology
Reflexology works on the principle that there are reflex points on the feet that correspond and connect to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. By using gentle pressure techniques to stimulate these reflexes, the body is encouraged to heal itself naturally, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body is in a state of imbalance and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can help by restoring the energy flow, eliminating toxins, improving blood circulation, relieving tension and inducing a deep state of relaxation. This therapy brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions and is suitable for people of all ages.
 
Ear Candling
This gentle yet effective therapy is an ideal way to relieve conditions that can effect us on a daily basis such as headaches, migraines, ear aches, tinnitus, compacted ear wax, glue ear, sinus problems, stress and more. An ear candling treatment requires a pair of specialised 'candles' to be used in the ears. Choose between a 30-minute treatment of ear candling or a 1-hour treatment of ear candling followed by a massage of the face, ears, neck and scalp to enhance the effects of the candling.
 
Reiki
Reiki is a specific type of subtle energy work in which healing is performed by laying-on of the hands, allowing the flow of the energy from a limitless source to the client via the Reiki practitioner. It uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. The treatment is usually carried out with the client lying down fully clothed on a massage couch. This is a powerful yet gentle energy healing treatment.
