Holistic Swedish Massage aims to treat the individual as a whole as seen with body, mind, and soul. Depending on the client’s needs, this modality aims to treat some of the most debilitating physical and emotional symptoms as seen with pain, anxiety and depression as it works with the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. It can therefore transform lives with immediate effect as its sustained quality of the treatment can change from being relaxing and sedate to energising and restorative. As a supplement to therapy gentle cupping and lymphatic drainage will encourage pain relief.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a safe and gentle form of massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluid from around the body that may otherwise, due to illness become stagnant, causing pain and inflammation.  Lymphatic Drainage Massage can resolve lymphedema and improve the symptoms of fibromyalgia, COPD, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease.

The fluid in the lymph system helps remove waste and toxins from the tissue in the body. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Manual Lymphatic drainage can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions.

• Congestion and Discharge
• Facial Pain
• Sinus Headaches

This is a chronic pain condition where the trigeminal nerve in the face becomes very agitated and inflamed.  Here the muscles contract into waves of spasms and cramps thus causing extreme pain to the face and jaw which can affect the surrounding areas of the nose and forehead.  Treatment for this condition can be sought by your general practitioner where a prescription of carbamazepine has proven to be effective.  Alternatively, facial lymphatic massage has proven to not just stave off the condition temporarily but I have found that using this alternative treatment my clients have remained pain free for months at a time whilst only experiencing the initial tingling sensation to the face after months of a second visit.  I found this treatment of facial lymphatic therapy to be cost effective and as a standalone pain relief treatment (without medical prescriptions required) my clients would highly recommend it.

Reflexology is an incredibly old Chinese acupressure technique and is used to improve various conditions. It works on energy pathways on the human body to promote circulation, energy, stress relief, and physical pain as seen with back, shoulder, neck stiffness, and headache.

This is a systemic form of touch therapy that can be carried out by either directly having contact with the person’s skin or through the individual’s clothing.

Invigorating Head Massage relaxes the scalp through a message which incorporates clawing and striking movements used along-side with essential oils to heathen the scenes. Tension and stress are relieved through friction and circular motions focusing on pressure points and strokes through the hair.

Indian Head Massage encompasses the gentle sweeping, and circular motion like techniques that relieves tension held within the muscles of the neck and mid to upper back. By applying gentle but firm pressure with the pads of the hands, fingers, and thumbs on certain meridian lines this modality goes a long way to relieving migraines, insomnia, and fatigue. It specialises in the stress management and anxiety and renews energy and memory capabilities.

Tui na Massage like reflexology, acupressure and acupuncture originate from ancient China. It’s work is based on the oldest form of traditional Chinese medicine. Its teachings are based on the theory of imbalances of qi, where the yin and the yang in the body become blocked and disturbed. Through an individual’s life, these channels or meridians may become stagnant with obstructions, thus refusing the flow of qi, resulting in pain and inflammation. Here, with Tui Na massage similar to acupuncture, the therapist focuses on the specific points to treat but with the use of fingers as opposed to needles. In conjunction with this method, gentle manipulation of joints and soft tissue aim to bring about a favourable outcome, where both muscular tension, joint constriction causing pain and inflammation become resolved.

Pregnancy Massage can relax the mom to be as this treatment can reduce stress hormones in your body and relax and loosen your muscles thus providing for an easier pregnancy and labour. It can also increase blood flow and reduce pregnancy-related edema. It will encourage the tired and stressed lymphatic system to work with optimum effects thus promoting the drainage of excess fluids and boosting immunity. During this time of expectancy, the mom to be is filled with excitement and anticipation of what the future holds. This treatment is shown to promote a greater sense of wellbeing, improved relaxation which helps with that vital sleep, so often missing as the pregnancy progresses.

Baby Massage is a beautiful way of creating and maintaining that bond that exists between both mother and child but also between father and child. It helps soften the tension often carried within the infant due to trauma and anxiety associated with labour. It is a beautiful way to introduce your infant child into an alien world with a unique level of confidence, thus enhancing the element of trust into your relationship. This can be particularly apparent with premature babies as digestive issues may cause loss of sleep and limit general wellbeing. Baby Massage is calming on the nervous system and so it is an excellent form of therapy for digestive issues like colic but also sleep. It has a direct influence on the levels of oxytocin, a hormone in your body, thus helping you both feel calmer and relaxed.

Reflexology is based on the ancient teaching of traditional Chinese medicine where distinct lines of qi (energy) circulate in definite lines around the body. Initiating in the top of the thumb and fingers of both hands they ascend to the head before been directed down into each toe found in the feet on both sides of the body. In reflexology, the pressure is applied to specific points found along the length of the channels which have a specific link with the organ on that channel. Kneading the soft fleshy ball of the foot, pulling on the toes, tracing around the heel, and pivoting deep into the ache, if necessary are some of the techniques the therapist will use. Reflexology can address anything from headaches to sinuses and stomach issues. This treatment is effective for cleansing the body of toxins, boosting immunity, increases circulation, and promoting healing where the body’s balance of energy is restored.

Ear candling is called “Ear coning or Thermal Auricular Therapy”.  It is a pseudo scientific alternative medicine that can improve general health and well-being by lighting one end of a hollow candle and placing the other in the ear canal.  The ear candles are composed of cotton tubes, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic essential oils.  The lit candles creates a vacuum which has the effect of drawing out any impurities, relieving pressure in the head and sinuses which ultimately improve your hearing and general wellbeing.  This treatment is followed by a facial massage and sinus drainage treatment, where the lymphatic system is activated in areas around the head, neck and sinuses.  Here excess fluid is drained away from the affected areas allowing the client to relax whilst removing tension, stress and pain.

Facial is a beauty therapy belonging to a family of skin care treatments.  As skin loses its lustre with the passing of time by rejuvenating the skin by means of having regular facials this treatment aims to maintain and improve skin integrity.  It is a treatment where the skin is cleansed, steamed and moisturised.  Wrapped in heated towels and coated in lush creamed lotions, by introducing massage into the treatment it offers a complete and closed therapy.
