AROMATHERAPY

 Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile oils - known as essential oils - extracted from plants in a variety of ways, to treat the person as a whole and not just the symptoms. Oils can be combined to form a synergy, where the mix of the oils are more effective than the oils used individually. Aromatherapy helps the body to re-balance, regulate it's systems and stimulates healing.

 DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

When we are constantly stressed, tense or have a chronic condition, our muscles and tissues form solid bands of tension, adhesions and muscle spasm which can be painful and uncomfortable, causing headaches, stiffness and backache and in severe cases, migraine. Often just sitting at a desk all day with bad posture is enough to give you very tight achy shoulders and a headache.

Using mainly the elbows, palms of hands and forearm techniques, Deep Tissue Massage works below the superficial muscles to the deeper muscles, tissues and ligaments and relieves those tight bands and knots, effectively eliminating adhesions and muscle spasm. Deep Tissue massage is extremely good for releasing muscle spasm, treating deep aches and pains and effective stimulation of circulation. It is a very slow with deep pressure treatment which can provide immense relief and muscle release. 

A deeply relaxing massage using hot and cold basalt and marble stones to ease away muscle tension and tightness in a luxury treatment. The alternating hot and cold strokes work to renew oxygenation, improve circulation and encourage muscles to lengthen and release. This is the ultimate in luxury treatments!

Reflexology is based on the concept that areas on the foot, ankles and hands correspond to organs and systems within the body. There are lines of energy called meridians which connect and balance the flow of chi or life force which also connect the organs and systems which can sometimes become unbalanced because of our diets, lifestyle or emotions, causing a disruption in the natural flow. Reflexology works on the basis that stimulating particular corresponding areas will help release energy blockages and bring the body back to equilibrium and balance and correct the flow of energy once again.

This technique has been proven to improve and stimulate fertility although the reasons why are not fully known. Often clients are unsure of someone touching their feet but Reflexology is extremely relaxing and effective and clients often drift off to sleep or report feeling energised after a treatment.

THERMAL- AURICULAR THERAPY

Based on a technique originally used by the Hopi Native American Indians, this soothing and relaxing session helps to clear blocked ears, headaches and sinus problems.

 The therapy usesa natural bees wax candle combined with herbs inserted gently into the ear. The heat causes a vacuum effect which softens waxy buildups, balances the pressure in the ear canal and helps to drain the sinuses. The effect also vibrates the ear drum very slightly, allowing you to relax and drift off to the sound of ocean waves. The herbs reduce inflammation and stimulate healing. Clients often feel nervous about this treatment, thinking that some wax or ash will fall into their ears or that it will hurt, however, the candle has a filter at the base which does not allow any wax or ash near the ear and therapists are trained to ensure there is no chance of the client getting hurt. After treatment, clients report feeling unbelievably relaxed and calm and often report instant effects of clear sinuses and better breathing.
