Holistic Treatments

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy massage is a very gentle massage that uses the therapeutic quality of essential oils to bring healing. The oils are absorbed through the skin, inhaled and work on the body, mind and emotions in very specific ways to balance and relax, or stimulate and revitalise. A special blend of oils will be selected for you based on what your needs are at that moment.

I combine the amazing energetic vibrations of the beautiful oils with myofascial healing massage, gentle stretches and lymphatic drainage.

Cancer Care Massage

With the statistics that one in two of us will get cancer at some point in our lives, the chances that we, or someone we know, has or will have cancer are sadly very high.

But research now shows that using holistic therapies like massage, reflexology, breath work, and reiki may help with pain, cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life. Massage may also play a role in the prevention of neuropathic pain related to chemotherapy drugs and treatment, as well as helping to relieve stress and provide some much-needed soothing touch.

I can help support and signpost, providing a much-needed space to just “be”. The cabin is a gentle healing space and will give respite from the clinical world of hospitals and sterile environments that are associated with cancer treatment.

Whether you are actively in treatment or through it, whatever stage of your cancer journey you are in, I can support you.

Crystal & Sound Therapy

I use the healing energies of crystals and the energy of sound to enhance many of the treatments that I do.
Crystal therapy has been used by mankind for thousands of years as each Crystal carries different vibrating energies that can be used to help balance the body and restore energy when placed on or around the body.
Sound also works to heal the body by sending vibrations through the body to create deep and profound shifts, on the physical and emotional level.

Holistic 7-Step Crystal Facial

7 steps to a smoother, brighter complexion! This relaxing and therapeutic treatment consists of a deep cleanse, exfoliation, hot towels, mask, tone, moisturise and massage, with my signature range of gentle yet luxurious natural artisan vegan products. It is then finished off with a jade roller, as well as rose quartz and jade guasha facial massage crystals to tone and aid lymph drainage. This facial can be combined with other treatments for the ultimate luxury pamper session, personalised to your requirements and time scale.

Hot (& Cold – Optional) Stones Massage

One of the most versatile, popular and relaxing massages, it is said that one sweep of the stone is worth 5 with the hand alone! The natural volcanic stones are heated and used with luxurious coconut oil to massage stress, knots and tension from the body. The stones, combined with the heat penetrate stiff muscles and warm deep into the surrounding joints. This treatment can be finished with smooth chilled marble stones to invigorate the skin, which is great in the summer and a must to soothe and clear the sinuses after a facial.

Indian Head Massage (Spa Style)

Deeply relaxing head massage, lying on the couch, with back, neck, upper arm and shoulder massage, along with stretches. Pressure points will be worked on, on the scalp and face, while warm crystals for healing and grounding will be placed on the feet. This is a wonderfully relaxing experience and a really enhanced luxurious treatment when combined with hot stones.

Indian Head Massage (Traditional Seated)

This is the traditional seated form of the incredibly relaxing Indian Head Massage treatment. It can be given with or without oils and the client can remain fully clothed or with just shoulders and arms exposed, so that oils can be used. This massage will relax, de stress and help to relieve headaches. Facial acupressure and chakra balance is also included.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

MLD, manual lymphatic drainage is a very gentle technique that has a variety of benefits to many conditions, that affect the lymphatic drainage system, where normal massage techniques are not suitable or are ineffective*. Clients who respond favourably to MLD include those with post-traumatic and post-surgical swelling, those recovering from such surgeries as cosmetic procedures (face lifts, breast augmentation, liposuction, and orthopedic surgeries such as hip or knee replacement). MLD is also very effective in helping a variety of autoimmune disorders , such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and rheumatoid arthritis, reducing pain and aiding in sleep, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, and boosting the immune response. *Note; While a manual lymph drainage practitioner is able to address simple medically uncomplicated lymphedema, more complex clients, especially those with additional medical issues, should see a lymphedema specialist.

Myofascial Healing Massage

A slow gentle “holding” massage. The fascia is the thin membrane that runs throughout our entire body, from the tips of our toes, through all the muscles and fibers, even into our brain! We store trauma and emotions in our fascia, which, if not released build up and cause pain and tension throughout the body. This massage is ideal if you have fibromyalgia or other conditions that cause pain, where deeper massage is uncomfortable. It helps to release emotions, and works on the nervous system, “dialling down” the stress response in the brain, and so is also good for people who have anxiety, or who have gone through trauma and need help releasing that.

Natural Lift Facial

A slow gentle “holding” massage. This “non botox facelift” rejuvenating facial uses a combination of facial reflexology, Indian and Japanese acupressure moves to lift, tone and bring a youthful glow to the skin, as well as helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines. It will be deeply relaxing and aids lymphatic drainage on the face to reduce puffiness and stimulate the immune system. A course of 6 sessions is recommended initially, with one every 4 to 6 weeks maintenance thereafter for maximum benefits. (option to book in a full course of 6 for £270, saving £30 – pre paid).

Pregnancy Massage / Pre & Post-Natal Massage

Nurturing gentle massage techniques are used to bring relaxation, reduce stress and enhance well-being at this most special time, bringing much benefit to mother and baby. Regular massage throughout pregnancy can result in an easier and less painful birth, as well as helping to relieve muscle tensions and pain that the changes during pregnancy can bring. Massage post-natal can help realign the body as well as bringing about much needed self-care and relaxation post baby.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that uses the application of pressure to the feet and hands. It is extremely relaxing yet very powerful therapy for helping to bring the body back into balance and stimulate the body’s own healing response. It can help to greatly relieve pain, reduce anxiety, improve sleep and mood. It works really well with other therapies, particularly Reiki.

Reflexology and Reiki Split Treatment

One of the most non invasive, nurturing, healing and balancing therapies I offer. The combined energies of Reiki and Reflexology work together to deliver the ultimate in relaxation and healing.

Reiki

This is a stand alone energy therapy that can be combined with many other treatments, working especially well with reflexology.

Reiki means “universal life force energy” and is a Japanese healing modality that utilises the energy of the universe surrounding us. Unlike spiritual healing, the practitioner does not use their own energy but is merely a channel for the healing process to take place. Reiki will go directly to the source of the issue, whether that be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual; it can do no harm. As the client lies fully clothed on the couch, covered with a blanket, the practitioner’s hands are placed on, or over various parts of the body or aura, often corresponding to the chakras.

I have trained in many different energy techniques, including Celtic Reiki, Dragon Reiki and Bio-Energy Healing and bring these into the session, along with what ever else may be needed, sound healing, crystals, essential oils or flower and tree essences – enabling you to find a sense of balance and inner peace reconnecting you with your own intuition and inner lake of stability.

Thermal Auricular Therapy (Ear Candles)

This treatment can help to relieve stress headaches, migraines and sinus problems. A facial and scalp massage, along with pressure point sinus drainage is used. This is a very relaxing treatment and works really well with Indian Head Massage and all facials. Hot and cool essential oil infused towels transform this into a really luxurious but useful therapy, clearing the sinuses and the head.

This can be booked as a stand alone treatment, but works really well combined with one of the facials, or a back neck and shoulder massage and particularly Indian head massage.
