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.
