Aromatherapy or Ayurvedic 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.

Ayurvedic oils promote good health and emotional wellbeing through the balance of your ‘tridoshas’ (or personalities). Essensuals Ayurvedic remedies are pure cold pressed oils that are nutrient rich and lightly scented with essential oils.
Following a questionnaire to establish your tridosha, and using your sense of smell alone, you will select the required oils for your massage from a choice of 12 uniquely blended options that work with specific doshas to balance, calm, relax or revitalise.
Whether you want a gentle, relaxing and restorative massage, or an invigorating and stimulating treatment to ease joint and muscle tension, this blissful massage is tailored to your specific needs on the day.

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.

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.

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.
