The Treatments
Reflexology
Gentle but firm pressure is applied to the reflexes on the feet (or hands), which are seen as a map of the body. Their manipulation is instrumental in helping to naturally rebalance the body and boost overall well-being.
Reflexology for Menopause
Uses similar movements as in standard Reflexology, but with specific focus on the Pituitary Gland and overall Reproductive System. Stress can cause a lot of the symptoms associated with the Menopause so being able to unwind slowly allows the hormones to calm and realign. This specially designed routine has been found to help reduce such stress and be very effective in helping both the physical and emotional turmoil experienced by the client, whilst journeying through the Menopause.
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage
RLD is a ground breaking and multi-award winning Reflexology technique that was researched and developed by Sally Kay whilst she worked in Cancer Care. The technique is used to help reduce lymphoedema (tissue swelling due to the failure of lymph drainage) after treatment for breast cancer by focusing on stimulating the Lymphatic System of the body and its associated reflexes on the feet. This technique is also useful for clients with other (non-Cancer related) conditions. The results appear to support the theory of Reflexology.
Aromatherapy
Senses are awakened by the aroma of essential oils, which are used through the medium of a light massage. The aim is to treat the whole body rather than a single ailment to promote health and prevent illness, allowing any tension to be released and encourage relaxation.
Usui Reiki (pronounced ‘You-soo-ee Ray-key’)
A Japanese form of stress reduction that is based on the Asian concept of life energy (Rei = aura and Ki = energy of power) and is treated by the laying of hands either close to or on areas of the client’s body. Subtle, yet powerful, energy then flows from the therapist into the client allowing harmony to be restored between the mind and body.
