Reflexology
The practice of reflexology is evident throughout history and has appeared in different ages and cultures from East to West. The oldest documentation has been found in Egypt in picture form on the wall of a tombs in Saqqara dating back to 2500 BC.
It is a deeply relaxing treatment involving the stimulation of reflex points on the feet which are related to areas of the body. It allows to treat the person as a whole and therefore helps to regain the balance between the physical, emotional and mental aspects. It is a wonderful way of helping the nervous system to return to balance and allowing functions in the body to return to normal. Once the body is balanced and relaxed it can repair and renew itself.
The first session will include a free consultation to help to find out what it is you wish to gain from the treatment. Reflexology has been shown to be beneficial for :
- Anxiety
- Pain relief
- Oedema
- PMS
- Menopause
- Migraine/Headaches
- Improves overal wellbeing
- Stress relief
- Deep relaxation
- Improves sleep pattern and may reduce insomnia
Indian Head massage (IHM)
Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over 5000 years. It is a deeply calming and relaxing treatment and will help to restore balance and inner harmony to the mind, body and spirit leaving you energized and revitalized.
The main benefits are:

You will remain fully clothed in a sitting position while being massaged on your upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face. Please wear a loose T-shirt preferably a kind of west in order to be able to apply oil or powder if required.
Japanese Hand Massage
It is a unique blend of shiatsu and reflexology reintroduced and tought by the 'School of London Therapists'.
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese healing art using gentle pressure to release blockages in the energy flow while reflexology stimulates the bodys own healing power, combined it is a deeply relaxing experience with benefits of
- reducing stress
- increasing energy
- opening energy channels
- pain relief
- increasing movement in hands and wrists
- improving skin condition
- detoxing
- improving sleep
Hand massage is especially appreciated by people who use their hands for repetitive tasks like
computer work, massage, tennis.
Reiki
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
It is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. For this treatment again you will remain fully clothed in a sitting or lying position which means it is perfect for wheelchair users or bedridden people.
I don't offer Reiki as a own treatment but include it in all of my treatments either during the treatment or at the end.
Traditional Thai Massage for Women
One of the world's great massage traditions. A blending of the technique of manipulating the energy which travels throughout your body and the yoga traditions of India. Wonderful for sore muscles and overall balancing of energy.
The Thais have been practising their own particular way of massage for centuries, in fact it is understood by historians to have been introduced into Thailand from India, concurrently with Buddhism, between 300 -200 BC.
Thai Massage isn't just a muscle manipulation like the popular Swedish Massage, the basis of the Thai practice is a belief in a invisible grid system of energy lines linking 10 central points of the human body (known as meridians in chinese medizin). These centres are understood to receive cosmic energy which is then spread throughout the system. A good Thai massage will help remove any energy blockages in the body, deeply relax and reduce muscle tension.
Traditional Thai Massage is done with the person clothed on a thin mattress on the floor as the therapist has to work around you. Your energy lines are pressed by the therapists thumbs and then the palms in a rhythmic and complete pattern. After your body is loosened up gentle stretches are done. I will only apply basic stretches after a thorough consultation.
Benefits are:
- detoxification of the body and boost of immune system
- muscle relaxation and increased flexibility in your muscles
- correction of body alignments and dissolving energy blockages
- building emotional balance
- aids concentration and creativity
- clears and calms your mind
- relieve of stress and anxiety
- boosting energy levels
- better health and vitality.
- strengthening internal power (and creates a natural confidence)
