A combination of acupressure and massage, Reflexology is an ancient technique that identifies zones in the feet, hands and ears that are connected to body parts and organs. Reflexology postulates that these zones are a microcosm or map of the whole body. Stimulating these zones can have a healing effect on the whole body, as they connect energy pathways that travel through the body to particular organs, structures and glands.
By systematically massaging specific areas on the feet, the reflexologist locates weaknesses, stimulates the connecting energy system to the problem areas and improves health in an enjoyable and effective manner. Reflexology may be applied on it’s own or combined with other healing modalities for an enhanced affect.

Stress may be difficult to avoid, but Reflexology is a perfect way to diffuse our daily anxieties.

You may benefit from the following techniques that are adjuncts to your reflexology session:

Brazilian Toe Massage (rebalancing of body grids) and
Metamorphic Technique (release of pre-natal patterns) also available.

Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that has its origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the historical massage techniques of Japan. It is a deep and relaxing technique that is sensitively applied using hands, elbows and knees along the network of meridians and acupressure points through which vital energy (“Ki”) flows.

Shiatsu strengthens a person’s innate healing power by freeing and balancing the energy flow along the meridian channels. Generally it is performed with the recipient lying comfortably dressed on a traditional Futon mat, on the floor, with the practitioner applying firm, steady pressure.

Shiatsu not only treats, but also prevents illness by aiding the body’s natural forces to correct diseases, even before they become pathological. It can target general areas or specific points.

Menopausal symptoms, period pains, fertility and pregnancy difficulties, endometriosis, prostate problems, incontinence – help may be at hand for all of these.

The lymphatic system is our front line of defence in fighting bodily infections, detoxifying the body and transporting metabolic wastes, excess water, bacteria and toxins out of the body.

Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle whole body treatment that relaxes the nervous system and aids the body’s immune system. It is highly recommended for those prone to and recovering from sore throats, colds, infections, on-going tiredness, excess fluids, low immunity, swollen nodes and also for the physically inactive.

A long hollow candle, with a pure cotton wick, is gently placed in the ear canal, while the recipient lies on their side. The practitioner carefully lights the candle and monitors it. Concurrently, massage and lymphatic drainage of the ear, face and neck can be carried out. The overall sensation is pleasant and relaxing.

The healing effect is based on the simple laws of science. Under-pressure (vacuum), vibration and warmth are created in the ear by the lit candle. This gently massages the eardrums, stimulates the sinuses and vascular system and also aids the lymphatic system.

This safe and effective natural therapy, used in various cultures since ancient times, can be a pleasant and rewarding experience for adults as well as children.
