Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is a truly holistic therapy, which treats the person not as a collection of unconnected body parts, but as one unique being. The key to its powerful effects on both mind and body, lies in its combined use of essences of aromatic plants, herbs and spices with the healing value of therapeutic massage, thus making full use of two of our most important senses – smell and touch - producing an effective method of healing. Together, they enhance the circulation of blood and lymph; relax and tone tense, tired muscles and promote a sense of overall well-being. Relaxed and refreshed you are able to face life’s challenges with a renewed sense of confidence.

Aromatherapy can be of benefit to people of all ages whether their health is good or requires improvement. It is used to treat a wide range of different conditions and problems, which may be both physical and/or psychological. It is especially effective in the treatment of stress related conditions, depression, headache, insomnia, digestion problems, back and joint problems, general aches and pains, and menstrual and menopausal problems, to name but a few.

Following a thorough consultation, a selection of the purest oils will be blended to suit your mood and needs for that particular time.

Holistic Facial

The Holistic Facial is a comprehensive mind and body treatment performed on the face, head, neck and shoulders and is excellent for those who carry all their day to day stress in their upper body. Bringing improved local circulation to the face and scalp, tension is lifted and you are left totally relaxed with healthy, vibrant, glowing skin.

Having a regular facial is a great way to relax and keep skin healthy by keeping the outer layer clean, smooth and soft; ensuring there is enough moisture in the outer layers; feeding living cells and tissues with a healthy supply of blood; helping skin resist infection; providing protection from external damage from the elements.

All our holistic facials use professional products from the Essentially Yours certified organic range, which have been created using formulations of high quality, organic plant and vegetable ingredients and containing nature’s finest plant extracts and essential oils selected for maximum therapeutic benefit. In addition, we offer home care advice and are proud to offer a range of professional facial products for you to continue to enhance your skin condition from the comfort of your own home.

Prescriptive Facial
After complete cleansing, the Prescriptive Facial chooses the perfect procedure for your skin’s needs. This treatment starts with a gentle exfoliation and moves on to a specific treatment mask and luxurious facial massage, which is then topped off with eye and face hydration and protection.

Natural Face Lift
In addition to the prescriptive, the Natural Face Lift uses a specialised massage technique targeting facial muscles to relax and release tension, encourage nutrients and oxygen enriched blood flow, flush out harmful toxins and fluids, assisting in the regeneration of the skin cells. The face glows with radiant health, is lifted, toned and supple with reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

During both treatments, whilst relaxing in your facial mask, a mini reflexology treatment will be carried out to re-energise and re-vitalise you.

Reflexology

Reflexology has become a popular holistic therapy in the UK during recent years. It has been around for over 4000 years and was first used in the middle and eastern continents and was introduced to the Western world during the early 1900's. It is based on the theory that reflex areas on the feet and hands are linked to organs and other areas of the body within the same zone. (Your feet are like a map of the body).

Working to heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms, by stimulating these reflexes with firm but gentle pressure, imbalances in the body can be identified and corrected. Removing energy blockages and encouraging the release of toxins stimulates the body’s own healing and balancing process, bringing you back to an optimal balance of mental and physical well being.

Reflexology has been shown to be effective for treating many conditions including migraine, back pain, arthritis, infertility, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, stress related conditions and sporting injuries. Benefits include restoring and maintaining health by relieving the body of toxins; improved blood supply that carries nutrients that our bodies need for good health; stress and tension are relieved; it relaxes, balances and harmonises the body; it strengthens the entire body and supports the body in its own healing process.

Bio-Detox

Toxins are found in our every day environment. We are constantly exposed to tobacco smoke, motor vehicle fumes, pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals and industrial pollutants, as well as food additives, preservatives and colourants, alcohol and drugs. In order for our bodies to function optimally, they need to rid themselves of all metabolic toxins and harmful waste products that weaken our immune system, causing a wide variety of unpleasant symptoms, including tiredness, lethargy, headaches, skin eruptions, bad breath and body odours, flu like symptoms and many others.

BioDetox is a revolutionary and relaxing treatment designed to re-balance, detoxify and energise your body. This increases mental alertness, assists weight loss, aids digestion, slows ageing, improves body flexibility, promotes good sleeping patterns and creates renewed energy levels and a feeling of well being.

During this treatment, your feet are placed in the warm, salty, ionised water which activates an electronic array. This sends energising electrical signals up through the lymphatic system which stimulates the detox process. You simply sit back and relax for 30 minutes whilst the foot spa helps to draw toxins out of your body. The water will change colour during the treatment, anything from a milky white to a dark brown depending on the client - some of this comes from the array and some from your body. The result will be renewed energy levels, both physical and mental, with a general feeling of well being.

A course of 6-10 treatments is recommended and should ideally be taken over a three week period, being equally spaced apart. Each session includes a FREE set of detox foot patches to use overnight to boost the treatment further.
