Shiatsu is a fantastic whole body treatment performed fully clothed. Thousands of years old, this ancient form of Oriental therapy was brought to the West during the 1900’s, where the ancient theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Zen Harmony fused with Western Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology. A Shiatsu treatment can involve many techniques including stretching, moving, freeing, rotating joints, pressure, meridian balancing, holding and stimulation of the acupressure points. Shiatsu can be gentle or firm. It is a unique treatment that can leave the receiver feeling relaxed, peaceful, freer in body and mind and taller than before!
Barefoot Shiatsu is for those who like a stronger therapy because it is performed using the feet more than the hands. This means a larger surface area is in contact and greater pressure can be applied using the practitioner’s natural weight and gravity combined.
Shiatsu can be useful in relieving stress, pain, depression, headaches, backaches, anxiety, digestive problems, emotional trauma, reduced mobility, tension and stiffness and can also improve posture.
A Stone Therapy massage is a luxurious experience. Hot, smooth, volcanic stones are used to massage the body. The heat penetrates deep into the muscles, allowing profound relaxation, greater blood circulation and increased removal of toxins. It is great for stress relief, muscle tension, muscular back pain, crunchy shoulders and general well-being. Cold stones can be used in cases of inflammation.
Indian Head Massage is actually a massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face. It’s fantastic for people who struggle to ‘switch off’, have difficulty sleeping, or who suffer from stress or shoulder and neck tension.
Stress Busting Massage is an hour-long treatment combing the best techniques from body massage, hot stone massage and Indian Head Massage. It includes the back, shoulders, neck and head.
Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the feet and lower legs performed using the hands and a tool known as a ‘Thai Stick’. It can be firm and invigorating in places and gentle and relaxing in others. Feet are a much neglected part of our anatomy and this massage will help to improve flexibility of the ankles and feet, improve circulation and toxin removal, decrease tension in the legs and can reduce pain caused by structural imbalances. It also has a very calming effect on the receiver.
Hopi Ear Candling is a deeply relaxing treatment that focuses on the ears and sinuses and includes a face massage. “A light suction action and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the ear candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for headache, earache and sinus problems.”
Natural Face Lift Massage is designed to smooth, stretch and tone, leaving the skin feeling invigorated, rejuvenated, lifted and supple without the need for surgery. A whole hour is spent working on the facial muscles helping you to look and feel younger. Individual treatments are effective but a course of treatments has a cumulative effect. Suitable for anyone but essential for special occasions – weddings, parties, modelling, etc.
