Aromatherapy

Blending plant extracts for therapeutic benefit. I take into account individual symptoms as well as emotional issues to create unique blends. These can be air diffused with a de-ionising aroma-warmer, massaged into the skin using a base oil in conjunction with massage, and also provided as oil blends, bath salts or other bespoke remedies for home use.

Holistic Massage

Intuitive sessions incorporating many techniques. Each session is adapted to the client’s needs and emotions on that day. It can be gentle, nurturing and relaxing, or more vigorous, energising and deep. I listen with my hands, applying specific massage techniques appropriate to the individual during the treatment.

Holistic Facials

Tailored to your skin type and involving lymph drainage and acupressure, as well as aromatherapy oil blend and cleanse, tone, serum or masque and moisturise. Facials boost collagen production, giving the skin a plump, clear appearance, as well as removing dead cells or impurities from the pores. They also help to regulate sebum production, giving a more even texture.


Indian Head Massage

 This treatment originated from the massage’s given traditionally by Indian barbers and also within families, It also draws on the wisdom of Ayurveda. The movements vary from very light stroking to deep kneading and cover the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms and head. Treatments can be relaxing and slow or very vigorous.

Traditional Thai Massage

Performed in clothing, on a floor mattress. The practitioner uses hands, feet & body weight to apply acupressure, palm presses are used to relax muscles and joints, and assisted stretches. Incredibly powerful in a short time, Thai massage works to remind the body of all the ways it is able to move, unlocking joints & creating space for healing on a deep level. Authentic Thai techniques adapted to each client’s level of flexibility & stamina.

Hot Stone Massage

Relieve deep tension through the penetrating action of heat combined with the enhanced pressure of the stones. It is said that one stroke applied using hot stones is equivalent to 5 manual massage strokes. The stones help balance the elemental forces within the body and create a sense of grounded safety. Encourages temperature regulation and detoxification as well as immediate stress relief.

Dynamic Bodywork

Can be performed with or without oil, draped or fully clothed, in any position where the client feels comfortable. Incorporating, passive stretches, rhythm-mobility, creative use of forearms, knuckles and the supple spine back care programme, each session is unique. It can help with range of movement, deep muscle tension or joint stiffness, rediscovering freedom of movement.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage

A sacred healing practice performed with the client draped in a sarong. The practitioner uses long flowing strokes over the length of the body. Forearms are often incorporated to give a deep pressure. The intention is to strengthen the flow of life energy for the client, inviting kindness, acceptance & joy. The treatment allows us to connect with our bodies, release tension and work with deep emotions. Tailored to your skin type and involving lymph drainage and acupressure, as well as aromatherapy oil blend and cleanse, tone, serum or masque and moisturise. Facials boost collagen production, giving the skin a plump, clear appearance, as well as removing dead cells or impurities from the pores. They also help to regulate sebum production, giving a more even texture.

Reflexology

 Relaxing & rebalancing, releasing energy congestion. Reflexology encourages a balanced flow of subtle energy throughout the body. It can be used to pinpoint specific organs and help to relieve the symptoms of particular ailments, or can be employed to give an overall sense of wellbeing. Several clinical trials have shown its effectiveness for pain relief, relaxation and relief of anxiety. Can be performed with or without oil, draped or fully clothed, in any position where the client feels comfortable. Incorporating, passive stretches, rhythm-mobility, creative use of forearms, knuckles and the supple spine back care programme, each session is unique.

Reiki Energy Work

 Reconnection to the universal energy matrix, repairing the field. Reiki means universal life energy. It works with the subtle energy body to bring about a release of the chakras. I utilise traditional Usui Reiki, as well as the more recent modalities of Tera Mai, Seichem and Karuna. Reiki sessions are very gentle and can be hands on or in the layers of the aura. I am a Reiki Master Teacher and offer Attunements to all levels.

Shamanic Work

Journeys for soul retrieval and connection with power animals/ancestors. Working to safely explore the inner landscape, using voice, drum and dance to enter an altered state of consciousness and access wisdom held within. A symbolic oracle that often supports us in our personal growth by encouraging a deeply listening path of awareness – of ourselves and our connection to the greater whole of being.

Sound Healing

Sacred song, drumming, pure tones & singing bowls. Everything that exists vibrates to a sonic frequency. The organs of the body, our electro-magnetic field, emotions and thoughts all have a song unique to their harmonious functioning. I work intuitively with Singing Bowls, Bells, Voice, Drum and Bio-sonic Tuning forks, to re-tune and release blocks within the physical and subtle bodies.

Visualisation

Creating tools for inner growth & manifestation. Our minds are incredibly powerful vehicles of awareness. We can invoke the power of thought to empower positive change in our lives, stimulate the immune system or ease pain. Visualisations are a proven method of enhancing performance in athletic sports as well as increasing personal effectiveness in relationships / work.

Nutrition Advice

Improving habits & addressing specific issues. Good nutrition is the foundation of health. This may be achieved through cleansing, detox and nourishment, or through the addition of new foods to an existing diet. Specialist nutrition advice sessions require a food diary to be completed for two weeks prior to the appointment. If you have any serious condition please follow GP’s advice.

Herbal Advice

 We can use herbs to encourage a state of balance within the body, and they may help to alleviate symptoms, or detoxify. Supplements can act as a useful adjunct to other therapies. It is important to consult with GP if you use supplements alongside other medicines, or if you suffer with a serious illness.
