Holistic and Wellbeing Treatments

Holistic and well-being treatments focus on the whole person, addressing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of health, rather than just isolated symptoms. These therapies, often complementing conventional medical approaches, aim to restore balance, enhance overall wellness, and promote self-healing through personalised experiences.

Indian Head Massage

 

An Indian head massage, is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that uses massage on the head, face, neck, and shoulders to relieve stress, tension, and promote well-being.  Originating in India, the treatment involves various techniques like circular strokes, deep tissue work, and stretching to stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage. It can be performed with or without oils, focusing on acupressure points to ease headaches, improve hair and scalp health, and support the body's detoxification processes

Relaxing Massage 

Massage is a hands-on practice that uses various techniques, such as rubbing, stroking, kneading, and tapping, to manipulate a person's soft tissues, muscles, skin, tendons, and ligaments. It serves as a therapeutic treatment for promoting health, well-being, and relaxation by relieving stress, easing muscle pain and tension, and aiding in the healing of injuries

Hot Stone Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage

During a Hot Stone Massage smooth, heated basalt stones are placed on specific points of the body to warm and relax muscles, improve circulation, and relieve tension. I combine these stones, with manual massage techniques and scented oils, to achieve a deeper level of muscle relaxation than a traditional massage. The heat helps to loosen tight muscles and penetrate deeper to aid muscle aches and can promote a state of deep relaxation and restoration

Hopi Ear Candles

Ear candling, also known as ear coning, is a practice that has been around for centuries. During the process of ear candling, the pointed end of the candle is placed in the ear, while the other end is lit on fire. The warm heat transfers down the cone into the ear softening the built-up earwax. Later a gentle vacuum is created by the cone and the built-up earwax is gently pulled into the cone. It has been said to provide many benefits, including reducing pain from headaches, improving hearing, helping with vertigo and nausea, sinus pain and also helps with relaxation.

Reflexolgy

 

Reflexology is a complementary therapy involving gentle, specific pressure applied to points on the feet, hands, or ears, based on the theory that these points correspond to different organs and body systems. The practice aims to promote relaxation, improve well-being, and stimulate the body's natural healing processes by restoring energy flow and releasing tension. While it's a form of massage, it differs by using specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques to work on these mapped points.

 

Treatment Time 35 - 45 Mins

 

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

 

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, specialised form of massage that uses light, rhythmic hand movements to encourage the flow of lymph fluid throughout the lymphatic system, helping to reduce swelling (lymphedema) and remove waste from the body.   The technique involves slow, methodical strokes to guide lymph fluid towards healthy lymph nodes for drainage. This technique differs from other massages, as it applies less pressure and focuses on stimulating lymph vessels rather than the muscles.

Wellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness. It’s a complex combination of a person's physical, mental, emotional and social health factors. Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. In short, wellbeing could be described as how you feel about yourself and your life.
