Look after your body and your body will look after you

WELCOME TO HARMONISE HOLISTIC THERAPIES
The human body is a wonderful but complex machine, capable of healing itself to a certain degree. Although, in today's stress-fuelled world, it could do with a little help!
With over 80% of illnesses, diseases and disorders being stress-related or induced by stress, taking steps towards preventing or reducing the stress is the key to health, happiness and overall wellbeing.
“The body remembers what the mind forgets...”
When you are under stress, your body's “fight or flight” response kicks into action. A certain amount of stress is good for us all and some people thrive on it. However, continued stress on the body can have a negative effect, putting you at higher risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, sleeping problems and possible dependence on alcohol, nicotine or drugs.
“When “I” is replaced by “we”, even illness becomes wellness...”
Massage is for every BODY and regular sessions have been proven to lower stress levels and boost immunity. Depending on the style of massage used, techniques such as long sweeping strokes, kneading, tapping, circular pressures and vibrations are used to relax and invigorate you. The use of forearms, knuckles, fists and elbows may be used to work on the deeper muscles to release built-up tension caused by stress and damage to muscle tissue caused by injury.
A combination of exercise, a healthy diet, plenty of sleep and regular massage is your first step towards a holistic and healthier you.
“Look after your body and your body will look after you...”
TREATMENTS AND PRICES
Swedish Massage
What is it? Swedish massage or “classic” massage is the basis for many massage styles, including deep tissue and sports massage. Its purpose is to relax and invigorate the client and release tension, increase blood circulation and venous flow back to the heart and aid the body in the elimination of toxins, through the stimulation of the lymphatic system. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable.
Benefits This treatment is beneficial to clients suffering from depression, anxiety, insomnia and osteoarthritis. It also helps to lower blood pressure and stress levels.

Advanced/Deep Tissue Massage
What is it? Deep Tissue Massage uses Swedish massage techniques to warm and prepare the muscles for deeper work. Then the therapist uses their thumbs, wrists, knuckles, forearms and elbows to work the deeper layer of muscles. The moves are much slower and more focussed than in Swedish massage. The intention is to release trigger points, knots and adhesions in the muscle fibres, free the fascia (or connective tissue) and improve range of motion.
Benefits DTM is great for eliminating scar tissue, and treating carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI and Fibromyalgia.

Indian Head Massage
What is it? Indian Head massage is a relaxing, yet stimulating massage. It is intended to relax the muscles most commonly affected by the stress and tension of everyday life, to induce relaxation of the body as a whole. Although the use of oils is a tradition, they are not a necessity. However, massage mediums can be used if desired by the client.
Benefits IHM can be performed fully clothed, anywhere, with or without oil. It is fantastic treatment in helping to prevent migraines and relieving earache, eyestrain, tinnitus and insomnia.

ABOUT CHRISTIANE
Christiane has always been an intuitive and spiritual person with a compassionate and caring attitude towards others. It is these attributes, along with a friendly “shove” in the right direction from her friends and family (that described her as having “magic hands”), that she finally realised that massage therapy is the industry in which she belonged!
After becoming attuned to Reiki Level 1 in 2006 and taking part in a workshop for Indian Head Massage a few years later, Christiane enrolled on a full body massage course at Essentials For Health in London in June 2012. She qualified in December 2012 with an ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Holistic Body Massage and a VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology.
Since then she has gained FHT Level 3 Diplomas in Indian Head Massage and Advanced/Deep Tissue Massage and a Level 2 First Aid Certificate through Brighton Holistics. She is now taking a 12 week online course with Vision2learn to obtain an NCFE Level 2 Certificate for Working in the Health Sector. Hungry for more she has just enrolled on the Advanced Certificate in Clinical Massage course at Jing Institute in Brighton which starts in June 2014! And there's still more to come in the future, so watch this space!
Christiane is fully insured and a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
