Holistic Massage

Massage has been used for thousands of years for its healing ability. Holistic Massage is a wonderful way to relieve muscle aches and pains, and reduce stress and tension. It improves the body’s circulation, lymphatic system, muscle tone and helps to eliminate toxins from the body.

A holistic approach is taken to calm body and mind, with the use of oils. Our treatments focus on the ‘whole’ person; mind, body and spirit. Each session is tailored to your specific needs meaning you receive a truly unique and individual treatment.

Hot Stones Massage

Like holistic massage, Hot Stones Massage is a great way to relieve muscle aches, pains, and reduce stress & tension.

During a hot stone massage, heated basalt stones are used which create a deeper massage without the need to use deep tissue techniques.

The warmth of the stones is soothing and relaxing, and is combined with Swedish massage techniques to create a bespoke treatment targeted to your individual needs.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of natural healing and has been practised in India for millennia. It is an important part of Indian family life with family members massaging each other for health and well-being.

Focusing on the upper back, neck, shoulders, head and face, the treatment takes place with the client seated in a chair with the use of oils to help you relax and unwind.

Inducing deep relaxation, balancing the energy flow within the body, and relieving muscle tension, Indian Head Massage is perfect for those who prefer to have a seated treatment rather than lying on a couch. It is particularly suited to those who hold tension in the upper back, neck and shoulders.

Indian Head Massage – 30 minutes        £40.00

 

Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural therapy with its origins dating back 5,000 years with the Chinese practising a form of pressure therapy on the feet. The Egyptians and Japanese also worked the feet to promote good health.

Reflexology works on the reflex points of the feet, which correspond to every part of the body. By working these reflex points, blockages in the energy pathways are released helping the body to rebalance itself. Reflexology promotes deep relaxation and allows the body’s own healing process to take place. It helps to improve the circulation, nerve function and helps the body cleanse itself of toxins.

Reflexology Treatment – 45 minutes    £45.00

Precision Reflexology - 45 minutes      £45.00

Signature Reflexology - 50 minutes      £50.00

 

Reiki – Usui System of Natural Healing

Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is an ancient Japanese healing practice. Reiki increases and balances the body’s energy levels, aiding the body’s own healing process and inducing a feeling of deep relaxation, peace and well-being.

Reiki helps to balance emotional, mental, & physical well-being and releases blocked energy in the body’s chakras (energy centres). Reiki adjusts itself to the individual’s needs and is particularly beneficial for those who suffer with stress.

Reiki Treatment – 45 minutes    £45.00

 

 

Crystal Therapy

Crystal healing is a holistic and natural therapy using the energetic power of crystals. It helps to balance the body on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Crystals are placed on different parts of the body or chakras (energy centres), to bring about balance and harmony. Each crystal therapy treatment is bespoke, and will be based on your needs after a consultation. Treatments may vary according to your personal needs.

Important Additional Information

During your first visit with us, you will be taken through a consultation where we discuss your general health and medical history. This allows us to make sure there are no contra-indications to treatment and that your treatments are tailored to your individual needs.

Please add an extra 30 minutes to your first treatment for this initial consultation. Subsequent treatments will have an additional 15 minutes added so that we can discuss your progress and make sure your treatments remain focussed on your specific needs. 

Cancellation Policy

We understand that there are times when you cannot make an appointment or life presents an emergency which you need to attend to. However, we respectfully ask that you give us 48 hours notice if you think you are unable to make your booked appointment. This allows us to offer that space to someone else.

Reluctantly we do have to charge for cancellations made less than 24 hours before your treatment time including ‘no-shows’ to cover our costs and loss of clinic time.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your appointment will incur a 50% charge of the treatment cost and missed appointments will incur the full 100% treatment cost. Thank you.
