Massage Therapy
Touch is a basic instinct. If we hurt ourselves, we rub it better! Massage goes one stage further. It specifically works on areas of stress, tension, pain and discomfort as well as relaxing & calming you.
Although I have various massage techniques they all involve using touch in a sensitive and totally respectful way. If you don’t like something you only need say and I’ll change my approach. Your emotional and mental state is taken into account, as well as your physical condition. Sometimes you cannot separate the physical from the emotional and massage can help to rebalance and harmonise all aspects of your life.
Massage is non invasive and can be used safely alongside conventional medicine. It has little, if any, side effects (other than making you feel calm, relaxed, and less anxious. Plus, it can help reduce any pain you may be experiencing!)
I have years of experience and specialise in 'deep tissue' Sports Massage. I also perform Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage and Hot Stone Massage.
Reiki
Developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century this therapy works on every level, not just the physical, and promotes the body’s regenerative self healing ability. The word ‘Reiki’ means ‘universal energy.’ It is a form of natural healing that is non invasive.
The effects of Reiki occur on many levels within the body. Although included under the massage section – Reiki is not massage. During a session, you will be asked to sit or lay down whilst I gently place my hands in a series of positions on & over the body.
Reiki can accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance the emotions, and free us from restrictive mental attitudes
People experience different things during a treatment & my client have reported sensations ranging from a heat/ cold sensations to tingling feelings. Reiki is a gentle treatment & can be safely used on anyone – including expectant mothers & elderly people. You will remain clothed during your treatment & so will need to wear loose comfortable clothing.
