reflexology

Reflexology is a centuries-old holistic therapy that ​utilizes a gentle, non-invasive touch to promote ​natural healing. By applying pressure to specific ​points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face, or ears – ​known as 'reflexes' – it aims to address imbalances ​within the body. These reflexes correspond to ​various organs, muscles, and glands, creating a ​profound healing effect on the entire body.


With roots dating back over 5000 years, reflexology ​has evolved from a simple 'treat' to a recognized ​'health treatment.' It supports the body's innate ​ability to heal itself, maintaining equilibrium and ​balance even in healthy individuals.

The treatment covers the whole of your feet or ​hands. Starting with foot massage therapists then ​use their thumbs or fingers to ‘caterpiller crawl’ ​over every area, applying pressure to particular ​points.


Though some areas can be highly sensitive, the ​overall feeling should be relaxing and not ticklish or ​painful. For this treatment you will be comfortable ​seated in a Lafuma chair. Any clothes are fine as ​long as I can access your hands or feet.

Reiki

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that originated ​in Japan and is centered on the concept of energy ​flow within the body.


It involves the gentle laying of hands on or just ​above the body to channel energy and encourage ​physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. When ​energy flow is disrupted, it can lead to imbalances, ​which may result in physical or emotional ​discomfort. By restoring the balance of energy, ​Reiki aims to support the body's natural healing ​processes.


Clients often report feeling warmth, tingling, or ​deep relaxation during the treatment.

Reiki is gentle and non-invasive, and can have ​profound effects, promoting relaxation, reducing ​stress, and fostering a sense of overall well-being.


For a Reiki session, you'll typically lie down fully ​clothed on a treatment table. The atmosphere is calm ​and soothing, with soft music playing in the ​background to enhance relaxation. There's no need ​for special clothing or preparation; simply wear ​something comfortable that allows you to relax.

Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese therapeutic practice that ​combines acupressure with gentle stretches and ​manipulations to promote overall well-being. ​Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, it works by ​applying pressure to specific points along the ​body's energy pathways, or meridians, with the goal ​of balancing the flow of "Qi" (life force energy). By ​doing so, Shiatsu aims to release blockages, ​improve circulation, and support the body’s natural ​healing abilities.


In a Shiatsu session, thumbs, fingers, palms, and ​sometimes elbows or knees are used to apply ​rhythmic pressure to key points on the body.

This pressure is firm but not painful, designed to ​stimulate energy flow and release tension. The ​treatment also involves gentle stretches and ​rotations of the limbs to enhance flexibility and ​alleviate stiffness.


Shiatsu is performed on a padded mat / futon, ​clients remain fully clothed during the session. ​Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended to ​allow ease of movement. The overall experience is ​deeply relaxing and grounding, helping to reduce ​stress, relieve pain, and restore balance to both ​body and mind.

myofascial therapy

Myofascial therapy is a specialized form of ​bodywork aimed at relieving tension and ​discomfort within the fascia—the connective tissue ​that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs.


This therapy involves applying sustained pressure ​to areas of tightness or restriction in the fascia, ​helping to release built-up tension and improve ​mobility.


By targeting specific areas of stiffness or pain, ​myofascial therapy promotes better circulation, ​reduces inflammation, and helps restore the ​natural movement patterns of the body.

It is commonly used to treat chronic pain, postural ​issues, and muscle tightness, offering relief and ​improved flexibility for conditions such as back ​pain, migraines, or injury recovery.


Using hands, fingers, or specialised tools to gently ​stretch and manipulate the fascia, gradually ​releasing areas of tension. Though some spots may ​feel tender, the overall experience should be deeply ​relaxing and rejuvenating, leaving you with a ​greater sense of ease and movement throughout ​your body.

scar therapy

Scar therapy is a holistic approach designed to ​improve the appearance and flexibility of scar ​tissue while supporting the body's natural healing ​process. This gentle, non-invasive treatment ​focuses on manipulating the scar and surrounding ​tissue to promote better circulation, reduce ​tightness, and minimize discomfort.


By applying targeted pressure and specialized ​massage techniques to the scar area, the aim is to ​restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve the ​overall health of the skin.

Scar therapy can be beneficial for scars of all types, ​whether they are from surgery, injury, or burns, and ​can enhance the body's ability to regenerate ​healthy tissue over time.


While some parts of the scar might feel more ​sensitive, the treatment is designed to be soothing ​and comfortable. The therapist will ensure that the ​pressure is adjusted to your comfort level, ​providing a relaxing experience that helps the body ​recover more fully.
