Swedish Massage

The Experience:
If you haven't already experienced the wonderfully relaxing and revitalizing benefits of a full body massage -you are missing out! Swedish massage is incredibly versatile -it can assist relaxation with slow and gentle movements or be invigorating and stimulating with quick and firm movements. This versatility enables me to tailor treatment to your particular needs at the time.

The Benefits:
Massage has many psychological benefits and leaves you feeling pampered, uplifted, healthier, happier and more able to cope with the stresses of life today. Massage also has many physiological benefits. It is well known that massage eases tension and soothes tight muscles, but it can also break down fat deposits, firm and nourish the skin and relieve conditions such as constipation.

Treatment also helps the body to heal itself by increasing circulation. This boost helps the body feed every cell with food for fuel and repair. Massage also assists the body in the elimination of toxins by improving performance of the lymphatic system, which enables the body to heal itself more quickly.



Reflexology

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a treatment based on the principal that the entire anatomy of the body is reflected in miniature on the reflex zones on the hands and feet.
By using specific techniques of holds and pressures on these specific reflex points healing is both initiated and accelerated in the corresponding area of the body.

The Experience:
This incredibly relaxing and de-stressing treatment takes place with you sitting in a semi-reclined position on a professional couch. You will be asked to remove only your shoes and socks and your feet will then be wiped with a refreshing solution. I then examine the feet before commencing a relaxing foot massage. Treatment on the specific reflex points follows and the session finishes with another massage.

The Benefits:
Because Reflexology treats the whole body, balancing all systems, sufferers of many conditions have benefited. However, PMS, Sciatica, Sinusitis, Aches and Pains and Digestive Disorders have, proved to be particularly responsive.
Is Reflexology suitable for me?
Most people can benefit from a reflexology treatment. Young, old, strong or frail there is no minimum or maximum age limit although treatment time may be reduced in some circumstances.



Reiki

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a natural laying of hands healing technique that works on both a physical and emotional level. It is generally accepted that a Japanese Buddhist called Dr. Mikao Usui discovered Reiki in the late 1800's.

The Experience:
If you are one of the few people who find massage invasive or do not like having your feet touched then this is the treatment for you. This amazing non-invasive therapy takes place with the recipient fully clothed.
Everyone's experience of Reiki is unique to them. However many people report feelings of heat, cold or a tingling sensation. A Reiki treatment leaves you feeling balanced and at ease with yourself and the world around you.

The Benefits:
  • Alleviates pain
  • Reduces stress
  • Supports recovery from addiction
  • Promotes deep emotional healing
  • Balances energy
  • Brings peace to a troubled mind
  • Speeds up physical healing
  • Brings deep relaxation and restful sleep

Good results have been reported for:
  • Anxiety
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Back Pain
  • Depression
  • Eczema
  • Insomnia
  • ME
  • Migraines
  • MS
  • PMT
  • Psoriasis and Sciatica.




Remedial Massage

What is Remedial Massage?

Ever been to a massage therapist that hasn't had the strength, techniques or experience to deal with your muscular problems? When Swedish massage alone is not enough this is the place to come. Julie has trained in the following post graduate courses with the highly respected Holo'sMassage School:

Maximum Pressure/Minimum Strain
Deep Tissue Massage techniques.

Soft Tissue Release (STR)
Whilst the muscle is shortened a lock is applied directly onto the congested area of soft tissue. The lock is maintained as the muscle is extended through its full range, therefore trapping the muscle fibres as they are stretched.

Understanding & Treating Hip & Pelvic Problems
Julie has a deeper understanding of hip and pelvic problems and how they can cause the spine to twist, creating postural problems.

MET and Combined Osteopathic Techniques
This course has given Julie the ability to use NeuroMuscular Technique and assisted and unassisted stretching that provide an extremely powerful release.

Julie is committed to professional development and is always looking for new ways to help her clients.

Dead Sea Scalp Treatments

Indian Head Massage

What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system and has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. It works with a gentle but firm rhythm to help unknot blockages and relieve tension.
It works on both a physical and emotional level, calming the spirit, promoting relaxation and relieving stress.

The Experience:
A standard Indian Head Massage treatment lasts for approximately 30 minutes. It can be carried out fully clothed or with a towel around the torso with the use of traditional healing carrier oils.
The treatment starts with massage of the shoulders, upper back and neck followed by an invigorating head massage. This is followed by a short facial using specific pressure points to release blocked emotions, clear the sinuses and increase feelings of well being. The treatment finishes with a little energy work to cleanse the aura and energy channels.The routine and pressure used can be varied according to your individual needs.

The Benefits:
Indian Head Massage is excellent for:
  • Easing Neck and Shoulder Tension
  • Easing Headaches
  • Easing Eye Strain
  • Promoting Hair Growth & Condition
  • Reducing Stress
  • Balancing Mind, Body & Spirit




Hot Stone Massage

What is Hot Stone Massage?
A luxurious treatment using a variety of smooth, non porous stones of different shapes and sizes. We use basalt stones made from the magma cooled from lava. Due to their volcanic nature the stones absorb and retain heat well. In massage they allow deeper dimensions of relaxation, health and well being than a typical massage because the warmth from the heated stones allows easier and deeper manipulations.

The Experience:
The therapist will first introduce oil to the body so the stones can freely glide, then apply the warmth from the stones via her hands before commencing the deep comforting hot stone experience. As an optional extra Chakra Balancing Crystals can be a wonderful end to a session with or without Reiki Healing. The session can focus on relaxation or problem solving.

Excellent for:
Muscular Aches and Pains, MS, Arthritis, Fibromylagia, Stress, Anxiety, Circulation problems and Insomnia.



Aromatherapy

What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils to maintain and promote physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. Essential oils come from flowers, leaves, heartwood, bark, stalks, twigs, roots, seeds, grasses and fruit. They can uplift spirits, calm the mind, warm muscles, stimulate the brain, aid relaxation and much more. In fact whatever your condition there will be an essential oil to benefit you.

The Experience:
Much more than a massage because it is tailored specifically to your individual needs. It therefore requires a longer consultation. After establishing your medical history and lifestyle we discuss and smell a number of wonderful, powerful, yet gentle oils. A treatment oil is then made up specifically for you -not just pulled off the shelf.
If massage is contra-indicated other aromatherapy application methods may be recommended such as bath oils, creams or inhalations. Oils for these methods will be available to purchase at the time of your visit.

The Benefits:
Aromatherapy has all the benefits of massage plus the healing properties of each oil being used. It is particularly helpful with:
  • stress complaints
  • skin problems
  • poor digestion
  • sleep problems
  • lethargy and a variety of aches and pains.




Hopi Ear Candles

What are Hopi Ear Candles?
Hopi Ear Candles are actually hollow cotton tubes impregnated with Sage, Chamomile, Honey Extracts, Pure Beeswax and Beta-Carotene.

They are an ancient form of healing developed in Asia and North America many centuries ago. The candles are named after the Hopi Tribe who lives on a reservation of nearly 4,000 square miles in north-eastern Arizona. Hopi is a contraction of Hopitu, meaning, “peaceful one”.

The Experience:
This experience will surprise you! It is extremely soothing and relaxing. All you feel is a slight warmth from the candle and possibly a gentle crackling sound.
A relaxing face and head massage follows to help drain the sinuses. It is recommended you relax for 10 minutes after this and so I offer free Reiki healing during this time.

The Benefits:
Hopi Ear Candles are excellent for:
  • Headaches & Migraines
  • Sinusitis
  • Rhinitis
  • Tinnitus
  • Excessive Ear Wax
  • Snoring
  • Children with Glue Ear

This treatment is a pleasant alternative to the discomfort of syringing. But is not suitable if you have grommets fitted or a perforated eardrum.
