Our Treatments

Swedish Body Massage

Massage is used to maintain physical health as well as inducing relaxation. It helps to alleviate the build up of stress and tension in the muscles from every day use. Swedish massage uses massage techniques specifically aimed to relax your muscles as the main purpose is to increase oxygen flow to the muscles and aid the body to remove the build up of toxins. Swedish massage tends to be a much deeper massage than Aromatherapy therefore is more suited to sports people. We use soft relaxing background music to help draw the mind and body into a completely relaxed state.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot stone therapy is an exciting massage treatment sweeping the country. Basalt stones are heated and applied to the body in totally unique, and super relaxing ways.

Harmonizing, restoring and rejuvenating the body at its deepest level.

Hot stone therapy goes beyond the physical experience of typical massage and enters deeper dimensions of relaxation, health and well-being. Physically the circulation and metabolism are stimulated; mentally the client reaches a state of deep relaxation and spiritually is balanced whilst healing takes place. Hot stone therapy combines traditional massage with the use of smooth, heated basalt stones, which are applied to the body as an extension of the therapist's hands. Cold stones can also be used to aid healing and this therapy is clinically known as "Geothermotherapy".

The massage is 10 times more effective than a normal massage. The warmth of these heated stones penetrates muscles and balances the nervous system like no other treatment. Crystals can also be used during the treatment to help balance the body's energy chakras.

Benefits include

• Deeper relaxation than standard massage techniques
• Toxin removal
• Increases range of motion
• Calms the nervous system
• Increases rate and flow of blood circulation
• Provides relaxation, decongestion and detoxification
• Accelerates lymph drainage

Hopi Ear Candles

Hopi Ear Candling, or Thermo Auricular Therapy as it is also known, can be used to treat many conditions of the ear, nose and throat area. The candles work by vapourising their ingredients once lit, causing convectional air flow towards the first chamber of the ear. The candle creates a mild suction which lets the vapours gently massage the eardrum and auditory canal. Once the candle is placed in the ear it forms a seal which enables wax and other impurities to be drawn out of the ear. There is evidence of ear candling from all over the world, from Siberia, Asia and the native communities of North and South America. It is the Hopi Indians of north-east Arizona that lend their name to the treatment. They used candles in medicinal ceremonies and initiations to clear negative energies from the head and aura.

The candles can be used today as a relaxing treatment to ease away the stresses of our Western culture and to address a number of problems relating to the ear, neck and face areas.

The Hopi Ear Candles used in my treatment sessions are Biosun candles. These are one of the only EU standard candles on the market. They are specially designed with a safety filter and a red line marked on them to designate the maximum burn level. Biosun candles are made from linen, pure beeswax, honey extract, and essential oil of St John's wort, chamomile and sage.
