Reflexology
The benefits of Reflexology are many, for example:
- It can reduce stress levels, inducing deep relaxation and stimulating the immune system
- It improves circulation, cleansing you of toxins and impurities, revitalising energy
- It can relieve pain through the release of certain hormones, such as endorphin and oxytocin, improving neural pathways’ communication and stimulating creativity and productivity
Reflexology is an ancient, safe and non-invasive holistic therapy that relaxes and stimulates the body to heal naturally. It deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet, hands and face, which are believed to correspond to all organs and parts of the body.
Reflexology is a unique method, in which we use a bespoke blend of natural and organic oils as a medium to sooth and hydrate the feet or hands, whilst applying different techniques involving massage and pressure through their different areas.
NLP (Neuro Linguidtic Programming) & Hyonosis
Rewire Your Mind for Lasting Change
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis are powerful techniques that help reprogram unconscious patterns, shift limiting beliefs, and create lasting emotional and behavioural change. By working with both the conscious and subconscious mind, they can help with stress, anxiety, trauma, phobias, addictions, low confidence, and sleep issues.
These methods are ideal for anyone looking to break free from negative cycles, overcome fears, or regain control over their emotional well-being. NLP focuses on rewiring thought patterns, while hypnosis accesses deeper levels of the mind to reinforce positive transformation. Together, they provide a fast and effective way to restore balance, confidence, and resilience.
What Can NLP and Hypnosis Help With?
NLP and hypnosis work together to create deep and lasting change by addressing both the conscious and subconscious mind. These techniques are highly effective for:
• Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm – Releasing mental tension and fostering resilience.
• Trauma and emotional blockages – Helping to process and reframe past experiences.
• Phobias and fears – Overcoming irrational fears and anxieties.
• Addictions and habits – Supporting behavioural change and self-control.
• Low confidence and self-doubt – Rewiring negative self-talk for empowerment.
• Sleep issues – Encouraging deep relaxation and better rest.
The Havening Techniques®
The Havening Techniques are a healing modality that is designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of traumatic encoding. They belong to a larger group of methods called psychosensory therapies, which use sensory input to alter thought, mood, and behaviour.
The Havening Techniques are a system comprised of protocols and methods that uses touch as a therapeutic tool, which we call Havening Touch®. There are three distinct applications—the first is for emotional disturbances and encoded psychological trauma; the second is for wellness, stress management, and peak performance; and the third is a self-help tool, and can be shared with family members and friends.
Lymphatic Drainage
Helps with relaxation, PMS, and IBS, as well as aiding cleansing the body systems by activating circulation, and can be an useful treatment to reduce sinus problems, fluid retention, swollen legs and ankles, muscle damage and puffy eyes.
Lymph is a clear fluid which moves water, protein, cells and electrolytes around the body. Using gentle, flowing, rhythmic movements, the lymph is stimulated through the one-way drainage pathways within the body. This method is done on the massage table, with a towel covering you.
The Perin Technique
Primarily used to treat patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E. by disturbing the drainage of toxins from the brain and muscles. Toxins caused by viruses, bacteria, microbes, parasitic infection, pesticides or the over production of chemicals which help the immune system fight infections, inflammation and stress.
First you will receive a 90 minute consultation where you will go over your medical history, before an examination of your spine, abdomen, head and lymphatics of the thorax (including breast tissue). The Perrin Technique itself involves gentle stroking towards the collarbone and gentle manual treatment to the cranium and spine to relax surrounding muscles.
Craniosacral Therapy
Releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system, it improves the functionality of the central nervous system, and consequently improves the function of the whole body. It is used to treat conditions such as Alzheimers and dementia, back and neck pain, migraines, stress, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, central nervous system and immune disorders, brain and spinal cord injury and concussion.
It is a hands-on, gentle and non-invasive therapy, usually given while you are are fully clothed and lying on your back on a massage table. Whilst subtle in it’s delivery, it is a very powerful therapy. Unwinding kinks in the body’s facia through it’s gentle, “listening hands” technique.
Aromatherapy
An improvement in general health and wellbeing, the colour and texture of your skin, a positive effect on mood and thought, plus elimination of toxic waste from skin and muscle systems.
Aromatherapy is the systematic use of essential oils in holistic treatments that seeks to improve physical and emotional well-being. Essential oils, extracted from plants are thought to possess distinctive therapeutic properties, which may be utilised to improve health and prevent disease. The natural oils are applied either by massage, adding a few droplets to warm bath water, through inhalations or blended into creams and lotions.
SOMATO EMOTIONAL RELEASE
Somato Emotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic approach within Craniosacral Therapy that helps to release the emotional and physical tension stored in the body (fascia, muscles, and other tissues). This approach is based on the understanding that trauma – weather physical or emotional – can leave imprints in the body.
Dr. John Upledger, founder of Upledger Institute of Craniosacral Therapy, explained that Somato Emotional Release (SER) operates on the understanding that both physical and emotional traumas can leave lasting imprints, referred to as “energy cysts,” which can disrupt the body’s natural functions and potentially lead to various health issues over time. These imprints can create blockages that can affect the body’s ability to function properly and maintain balance.
In an SER session, gentle hands-on techniques are employed to identify and facilitate the release of these energy cysts. This process often involves guiding clients through the recall and processing of suppressed emotions and memories linked to the trauma, thereby promoting both physical and emotional recovery. By addressing these deeply held tensions, SER seeks to restore balance and enhance overall well-being.
Massages
I offer a variety of massage treatments, which are all different and appropriate for numerous conditions and preferences.
Indian Head Massage
Helps with headaches, eye strain and release of tension. It is known to improve sleep and concentration, relieve mental and emotional stress and relax facial and eye muscles. It can also help hair growth plus the condition of your scalp, hair and skin.
Having been used in Asia for over 5,000 years, Indian Head Massage works specifically on the area surrounding the head, scalp, face, neck, shoulders and upper back. It usually lasts for around 45 minutes, although a back massage can be incorporated, making it up to 1 hour. There is also an optional use of oils, where a towel will be used to cover your modesty, or if you would prefer no oils, you can remain fully clothed.
Pregnancy Massage
With all the same benefits as general massage, pregnant women may benefit from a reduction in pregnancy symptoms. Strain in lower back, abdomen and shoulders, muscle tone weakened by pregnancy and fatigue. It can also improve sleep, encouraging rest and relaxation, aid digestion and stabilise hormones – increasing gland secretions.
Pregnancy massage can be received after completing your first trimester, and in a consultation we would find out if massage is safe for you and your baby.
Hot StoneS Massage
Promoting deep muscle and tissue relaxation, alleviating stress and releasing toxins. Known to relieve pain, improve circulation whilst calming the psyche.
Hot Stone Massage or Stone Therapy is the application of either heated or chilled stones to the body for the purpose of changing physiological responses. It is rooted in ancient therapy practices and is used to create a balance within the body. The positioning and temperature of the stones are tailored to the individual client.
Lymphatic Drainage
Helps with relaxation, PMS, and IBS, plus reduces sinus problems, fluid retention, swollen legs and ankles, muscle damage and puffy eyes.
Lymph is a clear fluid which moves water, protein, cells and electrolytes around the body. Using gentle, flowing, rhythmic movements, the lymph is stimulated through the one-way drainage pathways within the body. This method is done on the massage table, with a towel covering you.
