Therapies Offered #01

Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on particular areas of the hands or feet, reflexology serves to relax tension, improve circulation and promote the natural function of the related area in the body.


How does it work?
The treatment works on a holistic level, that is it works on the body as a whole. It helps the body to regulate itself, therefore if any organs are overworking or under working, the treatments will help to bring them back into balance.


Reflexology treatments can help to relieve stress and tension. Stress can act like a tourniquet around the body systems, so by releasing this stress, you improve the nerve and blood supply to every organ and gland in the body. Reflexology also improves lymphatic circulation to aid the dispersal of waste products and stimulates the immune system.


Importantly, having a treatment offers a chance to rest – the act of slowing down and actually taking time out for the treatment allows the body to start the self-healing process.


Benefits of Reflexology
Reduced stress
Feelings of deep relaxation
Increased energy levels
Release of endorphins, the body’s feel good hormones (which can also provide pain relief)
Improved circulation
More efficient removal of impurities and toxins
A stronger immune system
A sense that the whole body is better balanced, or in harmony



Therapies Offered #02Facial Reflexology (Sorensensistem™)
A new generation complementary therapy and is a separate therapy to traditional Foot Reflexology. It is a unique treatment that combines ancient alternative therapies: Chinese meridians and acupuncture points, Vietnamese and Andean tribal body maps, with modern neuro-anatomy.


The stimulation of more than 500 nerve points on the face sends impulses to certain organs, increases blood circulation, improves nerve supply, regulates body chemistry and treats emotional tension. This stimulation of zones and points of the face is utilised to alleviate health conditions in other parts of the body.


Working on the face allows direct access to the brain via the nerves in the face, and is profoundly relaxing. As the treatment is performed on the face, the result of nerve and blood circulation stimulation and lymphatic drainage, is improved health and a glowing complexion.


Benefits of Facial Reflexology
Improves blood circulation
Balances the body's systems
Harmonises the emotional state
Helpful for anxiety, fatigue or insomnia
Excellent for wrinkles (improves and builds up new tissue)

The physical benefit is a release in muscle tension which because the pressure used is quite deep and the muscle fibres are also stretched. The therapy can also help with specific conditions such hot flushes during the menopause, digestive complaints, stress, anxiety and other conditions.


A facial reflexology session can form the equivalent of a body massage where parts of the face relate to the physical aspects of the body. The therapy heals the individual on all levels; physically and psychologically.

Thai Foot Massage takes its origins from China where the art has been practiced for thousands of years. The treatment incorporates elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology, Chinese massage and Yoga, and is said to stimulate the activity of internal organs. The massage, which has started to catch on throughout the world, originally developed from other Oriental foot massage practitioners.


The treatment involves massage of the lower legs and feet that involves hands-on stretching and massage to "open" Sen (energy) Lines, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body. Thai Foot Massage stimulates these points to promote general health and well-being.


How does it work?
The massage routine lasts for 1 hour and involves stretching and massaging the feet and lower limb, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points.

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga massage is both a physical and energetic massage, leaving the receiver feeling relaxed as well as energised, grounded and calm. Practised on the floor through loose clothing, gentle pressure and stretches are applied using palms, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet. It can be described as assisted Yoga, where the recipient enjoys the unique experience of 'passive exercise', and the practitioner moves harmoniously with and around the recipient's body. All movements are flowing and smooth.

Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art which has been handed down from teacher to pupil since the 3rd century BC.
Thai Massage works on an energy line system (the Ten Sen) through which the body's natural life force flows. Blockages in this life force cause aches, pains and dis-ease.
The therapist uses hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure to important points along these lines, in combination with gentle stretching and applied yoga. This releases blocked energy and frees the body's own natural healing potential, thus restoring balance, health and harmony. Thai yoga massage is a unique and powerful massage therapy.
Treatments are tailored to the needs of the individual. Traditional Thai massage is applied through the clothes. For this, loose comfortable clothing should be worn
