Welcome to Esther's Holistic Therapies

Previous to training in holistic therapies I worked for just over 10 years in care. I wanted to use my varied experience in this field combined with my new career in holistic therapies, to continue to care for people in a more holistic way, therefore Esther’s Holistic Therapies were born in April 2008.

As an Holistic therapist I have few different areas that I'm interested in specialising in

  • Working with parents and carers as I think they deserve some pampering time for themselves
  • To work with people with special needs, learning disabilities and challenging behaviour (as this is the area I specialised in when I working in the care field)
  • Pre and post natal mothers. As well as those who are suffering from post-natal depression.
  • Teenage mothers


While I am building up in these specialised areas I am loving shearing me passion for Complementary therapies with any one who is interested.



Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a therapeutic healing treatment that aims to create balance within your physical, emotional, and spiritual self. The aim is to create a state where everything is working to the highest possible standard. This is achieved with the use of essential and carrier oils.

Essential oils are highly concentrated substances, extracted from a wide range of various parts of trees and plants. Essential Oils are used both for their pleasant aromatic scent and maybe more importantly for their therapeutic qualities. Essential oils are far too powerful /concentrated to use directly on the skin therefore must be mixed with some kind of carrier. A carrier can be water, cream, or most commonly used in massage, carrier oil (otherwise known as fixed or base oils). A carrier oil is any un-perfumed vegetable, nut or seed oil, not only used to ensure the safe use of essential oils but to create lubrication needed for therapist hands to slide easily in massage therefore not causing any uncomfortable friction. Carrier oils also have their own therapeutic uses as well as high level of vitamins and minerals.

Aromatherapy massage is usually a relaxing slow massage. If I was to talk about all the benefits of Aromatherapy I would go on forever. The most common ailments that I treat are hormonal imbalances, muscular tension /aches and pains, digestive problems, colds, coughs, sore throat, low immune system, eczema, skin irritations, allergies, insomnia and varying levels of stress and anxiety. However, when receiving a treatment from me an individual blend of carrier and essential oils will be created to meet YOUR therapeutic needs.

Aromatherapy Full body- 1hour and 15 minutes

Aromatherapy Facial -40 minutes

Aromatherapy back and shoulders- 40 minutes

Aromatherapy Hands and feet -30 minutes

Please bear in mind all the above times are actual length of time the massage will last, so please allow an extra 15 minutes for the consultation form to be completed.



Home made Aromatherapy products

All Aromatherapists are qualified to blend essential oils with carrier oils, cream, shampoo, etc. I have gone one step further and completed some extra training. Now I make my own Aromatherapy products. It all starts with the raw material e.g. with my lip balms I begin with pure bees wax then melt the wax until it is the right consistency. This allows me to blend it with all the other ingredients to make my wonderful lip balm. In all my products I only use 100 % natural ingredients. Esther’s holistic therapies will never use chemicals in any products. Esther’s holistic therapies provides the following products: moisturising creams, face masks, lip balms, eye gels, baths bombs, bubble baths, soaps, shower gels, after sun creams, ease insect bites shampoos, and conditioners all created to meet your skin type and therapeutic needs. If you can not see the product you want in the above list please ask. If you take the time to fill a consultation form in I can guarantee that any products you buy will be made with you in mind. This means all ingredients are carefully selected to be beneficial for your skin type and any ailments that you want me to concentrate on.



Indian head massage

Indian head is received sitting upright in a low back chair and tends to be a more stimulating and energising treatment. Traditionally the Indian head masseuse uses carrier oils to improve the condition of skin, scalp and hair as well as stimulating hair growth. Here are some of the ailments that Indian head massage befits: sinus problems and headaches. It also improves concentration and memory and creates a state of wellbeing. The treatment can be received through clothes or with the use of oil directly to the skin. Indian Head massage covers:

  • The top half of the back and arms
  • The neck and shoulders
  • The whole scalp and face




Infant Instructor massage

Enhance the bond between yourself and child by spending some quality time together, learning a beneficial relaxing and fun routine. Your loving touch relays so many messages between yourself and your child as touch is the first non-verbal way you and your child can communicate. Whilst improving your child’s development, flexibility and condition of their skin, the massage will sooth a fussy irritable child easing any colic digestive problems and improving their sleep pattern

Infant massage can be learnt by parents/carers from birth up the age of about five. Working in small groups or one-to-one basis, I can teach you a simple but effective routine demonstrating the massage on a massage doll, while you follow my moves on the child. Learn the full routine in about six sessions (usually one session a week, each session lasting about an hour)

The first ten people to book a complementary therapies treatment quoting the following EHT 123 will receive 10% DISCOUNT on their booking so why not give me a call now.

I look forward to meeting you at your first appointment
