What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a caring, hands-on therapy which seeks to induce relaxation, to increase energy, to reduce the effects of stress and to restore lost balance to mind, body and soul.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote health and vitality by stimulating the body to heal itself and by reducing stress. When the body’s resistance is lowered as a result of stress, the body becomes susceptible to illness and disease. Aromatherapy can help by restoring the body’s natural balance.

What is Indian Head Massage?

The head, neck and shoulders are the most important energy centres within your body. Think for a moment, when you are stressed or angry where does the tension seem to accumulate? Yes, in the neck, shoulders or in the form of a headache. In extreme cases it can manifest itself as hair loss! Indian Head Massage involves working with a firm and gentle rhythm to help unknot blockages and so relieve this uncomfortable tension. The effect however, is not only physical; it works on your emotions too, calming the spirit and aiding relaxation.

The numerous benefits of Indian Head Massage include:-

•  Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage to the head, neck, scalp,     face and shoulders
•  A deep sense of relaxation and feeling of total well-being
•  Relief from headaches and migraine
•  Relaxation of the muscles of the head, neck and shoulders
•  Stimulation of hair growth
•  Improvement in concentration and memory
•  Relief from anxiety and insomnia
•  Alleviation of eyestrain
•  Healthy skin
•  Confidence and improved self-esteem

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a non-ticklish massage of the feet that balances the Mind, Body and Spirit.

Reflexology is based on the principle that areas of Reflex Zones, on the feet and hands, correspond to each organ, gland and structure within the body.

By working on the feet with gentle pressure massage, each reflex is stimulated, helping to clear blockages and imbalances caused by stress and tension, injury and disease.

The treatment works primarily to bring relaxation, giving the body an environment in which to gradually re-balance and heal itself.

If there is a specific health problem I recommend 4 to 6 treatments on a weekly basis, followed by a once a month ‘top up’ treatment to keep the body balanced.

Prior to a Reflexology Treatment:

Do Not:-

•Drink any alcohol (24 hours before)
•Eat a heavy meal (Within an hour before). This is because the body will be using all its powers digesting and therefore the healing processes of the body do not have the best conditions to start healing.

What is Thermo-Auricular Therapy?

Hopi ear candles are named after the Native American tribe who first introduced this gentle therapy to the West.

The Hopi nation is renowned for their extensive knowledge of healing and their spiritual lifestyle. The translation of the word Hopi means "peaceful ones".

The burning action of the Hopi ear candle infuses the herbs and essential oils into a vapour, which is drawn into the auditory canal. This performs a massaging function as well as softening any impurities.  

Gentle heat from the ear candle stimulates blood circulation, increases the cleansing circulation of lymph from the lymphatic system, intensifies the immune system and stimulates energy points and reflex zones. Light from the flame penetrates the auditory canal, delivering a high energy spectral frequency to important energy points.

Hopi ear candles act like a chimney, drawing away the vapour and any impurities from within the ear. This in turn regulates the pressure system within the ear and the head, making the candle treatment suitable for many conditions.

Benefits of Hopi Ear Candles:-

•  Compacted Ear Wax
•  Glue Ear in children
•  Tinnitus, noises/ringing in the ears
•  Sinusitus, Rhinitus
•  Colds, Flu, Sore Throats
•  Hayfever, Asthma, Catarrh
•  Headache, Migraine
•  Calming, relaxing in cases of anxiety & stress
