Therapies

As well as teaching I also offer a wide range of therapies to help heal body and soul.

Ear Candling

This is an ancient form of treatment, which was thought to be used by the native people of North America. The Candles, which are cylindrical with hollow centres, are made of natural substances such as honey, beeswax and medicinal herbs. They are lit and inserted in the ear and are used both to cleanse the ear and to regulate the pressure system in the inner ear. The treatment can be used for many conditions including; headaches, migraines, sinusitis, rhinitis and tinnitus. Snoring can be reduced and children suffering from glue ear can be helped. The treatment is soothing and includes a comprehensive face and neck massage.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a specialised massage of the feet, in some cases the hands. It is considered that there is a link between specific pressure points on the feet and the various organs and structures of the body. Reflexology helps to relax the body and assists in natural healing. Many conditions can be helped and these include, headaches, digestive problems, bad backs, shoulders, neck and skin conditions.

Reiki Healing

Reiki [pronounced ray-kee] originated in Tibet and is Japanese for Universal Life Force. The practitioner channels energy into the receivers body and by this means self-healing is facilitated. As well as helping on the physical, emotional and spiritual level, Reiki can also be used to assist animals and plants. The receiver is fully clothed during this treatment.

Indian Head Massage

This is a gentle and soothing massage of the upper back, neck, shoulders, scalp and face. It is designed to reduce stress, which is held in these parts of the body. The lymphatic system is stimulated which assists the elimination of waste products. The body is energised. The receiver is usually treated in a sitting position and the minimum of clothing is adjusted.

Therapeutic, Sports, Remedial and Swedish Massage

Massage is the art of healing through touch. It restores balance to the three elements of mind, body and spirit. Physical problems of a specific or general nature are addressed, and these include tension in the neck and back and chronic and acute injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Sports performance can be improved with massage before and after an event. Traditional Swedish massage techniques can also be employed to help relax the body and reduces stress levels.

On-site Seated Holistic Massage

A system of seated massage carried out on a special ergonomically designed chair, which combines accupressure and generalised movements and, is performed through the recipients clothing. It is of varying duration and quickly combats stress and relieves aches and pains in the back, neck and shoulders. It is ideal for individuals and groups, at places of work, conferences, exhibitions or other locations.

A desktop massage unit can be an advantageous alternative for those unable to sit in the chair such as some wheelchair users.
