REFLEXOLOGY
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is a treatment that uses controlled pressure techniques using the thumbs, forefingers and knuckles on specific reflex points on the hands and feet which in turn treat and rebalance the whole of the body. Detailed foot and hand maps are used within reflexology, which map out the hands and feet into specific zones enabling all parts of the anatomy to be accessed and stimulated through the hands and feet. It is a non invasive therapy which does not aim to diagnose or cure illness but in turn help promote the body’s own self healing to improve and optimise physical, emotional and spiritual well being.
BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY - HOW WILL IT HELP ME?
It can be used on its own to promote relaxation and well being and for support with common health conditions including:
- Arthritis, Inflammation and Back Pain
- Stress and Anxiety
- Sleep Disorders
- Circulatory Issues (blood pressure imbalances, cold hands and feet, etc.)
- Fertility Issues
- Hormonal Imbalances (Thyroid, post-menopausal problems, etc.)
- Pregnancy and aiding Post Natal Recovery
- Hayfever, Allergies, Sinusitis
- Digestive and Bowel dysfunctions (IBS, constipation, colic, etc.)
- Persistent skin conditions, e.g. Eczema
Please note reflexology does not claim to prescribe, diagnose or cure illness and professional medical advice should always be sought.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT THE INITIAL CONSULTATION?
At your first treatment, I will conduct a medical consultation and agree a treatment plan with you. I will then ask you to remove your footwear and position yourself onto the massage couch. The treatment will begin by refreshing your feet, and taking a foot assessment. This is simply just to look at the colour, temperature, tone, and flexibility of your feet. After the foot assessment I then perform a short massage on each foot to warm and loosen the feet and ankles. I will then begin the reflexology treatment which will takes approx. 40 minutes. After treatment it is advisable to drink some water and ensure you are feeling properly grounded.
HOPI EAR CANDLING
Hopi Ear Candling is a soothing and non-invasive treatment that can make a significant contribution to overall health in the upper body. The treatment can physically remove wax and debris from the ears and rebalance ear pressure, open vital energy pathways in the ears and stimulate the head and ear lymphatic nodes. .
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
At your first treatment, I will conduct a consultation and agree a treatment plan with you. Once you are warm and comfortable on the couch, I will then place a candle in one ear, checking with you it is snug in the ear canal and then light it. The candle will burn for approx. 8 to 12 minutes. During the treatment, you will experience a crackling noise and a slight pulling sensation in your ear as the candle burns down. After candling both ears, I will then finish the treatment with a relaxing face massage to further drain the sinuses.
After treatment, I recommend that you drink plenty of water, avoid sitting in a draft and avoid going swimming or diving in the next 24 to 48 hours.
BENEFITS OF EAR CANDLING - DOES IT REALLY WORK?
Ear candling really does work and I have found it to be extremely beneficial for those suffering with the following conditions;
- Excessive ear wax
- Hay fever/ Asthma
- Chronic sinusitis / nasal congestion
- Ear pain
- Restoring pressure in the ear (e.g. from frequent flying, diving)
- Ringing or buzzing in the ears
- Tension headaches
- Stress and anxiety
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Feel Good With Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles using different techniques and pressure. It can be used for relaxation, stimulation and rehabilitation of the whole body or part of it. It promotes the suppleness and flexibility of the muscles, greatly improves circulation and helps to calm and de-stress the body and mind.
What Should I Expect At The Initial Consultation?
At your first treatment, I will conduct a personal consultation that adds about 15-minutes to your treatment time. The purpose of this consultation is for me to gain a better understanding of your health concerns and lifestyle, home and work issues that might be giving rise to difficulty and what you are hoping to gain from your treatment. We jointly agree a treatment plan designed specifically for you to target and treat any problem areas such as lower back pain, tension in the neck and shoulders, poor circulation in the hands and feet, etc. At this time, I will also explain a little about the type of massage I plan to use, its benefits, healing reactions and how the treatments will be carried out.
The Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
- Relieving tension headaches and migraines
- Reducing stress reactions and promoting a deep sense of relaxation
- Easing muscular tension and tightness
- Improving muscle tone and flexibility
- Increasing joint mobility
- Improving postural deformity
- Increasing circulation & warming cold extremities such as hands and feet
- Aiding lymphatic drainage
