Life Coaching

Is a very powerful process that supports clients in making choices. It provides a framework and support mechanism for the client to set clear objectives and take steps to accomplish those objectives.

Does your life work?

Step into a world beyond words…

Step 1
Taking the time to tick the boxes that apply to you...
Relationships

Change and Transition

Step 2
Taking the time to tick the boxes has helped to identify areas in your life that need attention. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny compared to what lies within us”.

Pyramid Soul Therapy

The pyramid shape has an energy centre much like the energy centre in the human body called chakras. Pyramid Soul Therapy stimulates your chi, cleanses the chakras and promotes peace of mind.

Down the ages, pyramids have inspired wonder and awe. In the word 'pyramid', pyra means fire, the universal life energy or cosmic force, and mid stands for middle. Scientists have focussed attention on this issue for the past century and experiments and testimonials affirm changes in the mental, physical and emotional states of individuals after exposure to pyramid vibrations. Exposure to these vibrations stimulates the body’s natural electro-magnetic field.

There is more vital energy contained within the geometric shape of a four-sided pyramid than in the air surrounding us. Pyramid Soul Therapy promotes cellular regeneration and memory and helps reverse environmental pollution caused by pylons, radiation, mobile phones, TV transmitters and dishes that can affect your health and well-being.

Meditating within the pyramid has an energising and cleansing effect on the aura. It gives you answers to questions, promotes peace of mind and alleviates stress, fatigue and headaches. You can experience this and much more by laying inside the pyramid with its combination of carefully selected crystals and magnets - take three long deep breaths, close your eyes and let your mind be open to a richer life from creative thoughts and feel life at a new level. Cost £30 for 60 minutes.

The meditation takes one hour

Indian Head Massage

Is one of the most relaxing and popular forms of massage that you will ever receive and involves massage of the upper back, neck, scalp and face.

This popular massage has been performed in India and the East for thousands of years to relieve the stresses of a physically arduous day.

The benefits of a treatment

Indian Head Massage stimulates and improves scalp circulation, which helps to improve hair growth, relaxes the scalp and helps relieve headaches, eyestrain and stress. The neck and the shoulder massage eases muscle tension and will improve circulation. The head massage helps lymphatic drainage, restores joint movement and stretches and mobilises the tissues, it also helps with sinus congestion, and helps to prevent dandruff.

Aromatherapy Massage

Is a relaxing therapy that involves massage of the back, neck, scalp, trunk, limbs and face to bring balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit. It stimulates and improves circulation, which helps to improve lymphatic drainage. Massaging the scalp and the face relieves headaches, eyestrain, stress and sinus congestion.

The massage movement on the body eases muscle tension, restores joint mobility, warms and soothes the tissue.

The medicinal properties of scented plants, flowers, and woods were known to all the great ancient civilisations including Egypt, Babylon, China, India, Arabia, Greece and Rome and was revived in the 1930s by a French chemist, Rene Gattefosse, who first coined the word "Aromatherapie".

Essential oils are gentle, yet powerful healers that are emollient, softening, healing, nourishing and rejuvenating to the skin. The therapeutic blends work by making their way through the pores of the skin, through the fat cells and in small quantities into the bloodstream.

When properly blended they can have a positive effect on just about any physical condition. On the mental, emotional and spiritual levels, we depend on the first sense developed in the baby; the sense of smell. When we choose the appropriate oils for the circumstance at hand, we can positively affect any emotional, mental or spiritual concern.

BODY MASSAGE

Massage is nothing more than a systematic manual application of pressure and movement to the soft tissue of the body-- the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (the membrane surrounding muscles and muscle groups).

It encourages healing by promoting the flow of blood and lymph, relieving tension, stimulating nerves, and stretching and loosening muscles and connective tissue to keep them elastic.

There is also some scientific evidence to support claims that massage enhances the immune system and aids recovery from soft tissue injuries by increasing blood circulation to injured areas. Some studies indicate that massage can even reduce blood pressure. The healing powers of massage have been recognized since antiquity.

What to expect from a Swedish Massage

I use the Swedish technique, which is the kind you're most likely to encounter at the gym or at a spa. The therapist applies either oil or lotion to the skin and uses gliding, kneading, tapping and shaking strokes to relax your muscles and loosen your joints. All of this rubbing and kneading can really boost your circulation, which can help reduce swelling from an injury. Massage can also induce a state of mind called the relaxation response, which has been shown to minimize the effects of stress and boost your immune system.

Depending on whether you are having a half or full body massage, a treatment normally last between 30 – 60 minutes.

Serious enquiries only please.

AROMATHERAPY BODY WRAP

Body wrapping was known to all the great ancient civilisations, including Ancient Egypt, who are renowned for their Essential oils. For years, beauty and health experts have explored the secrets of wrapping the body for detoxification, sluggish circulation, cellulite, fluid retention and weight loss. Although not all types of wraps are healthy for your body, most will help in loosing inches for a short time.

The Aromatherapy Body Wrap is not only safe but is tremendously restful in addition to stimulating lymph flow and circulation as it uses essential oils to treat specific areas in conjunction with Thalassagel, a carefully balanced and highly effective product rich in seaweed extracts, minerals, vitamins and deep level moisturising agents. Seaweed is renowned for its stimulating and detoxifying effect on the body and is the ultimately luxurious treatment normally only available from the most exclusive of health spas.

The benefits of a Body Wrap

A build-up of toxins causes accumulated fatty deposits and cellulite and this encourage water retention, which exacerbates the problem further. The products used in the Aromatherapy Body Wrap drain some of these toxins away into the lymphatic system. This is brought about by vaso-constriction and you will experience a cooling of the body surface during the treatment.

Results vary from client to client, but all clients experience inch loss, in addition to a firm and smoother skin

SPORTS MASSAGE

You don't have to be an athlete to go in for a sports massage (a deep tissue massage). This variation on the Swedish technique can increase your range of motion and speed recovery of sore muscles whether you're a seasoned jock or just starting an exercise program.

Before physical exercise, massage helps get blood moving to assist in the warm-up. Massage after a workout has been shown to reduce the waste products (lactic and carbonic acid) that build up in muscles after exercise and cause cramping and discomfort. So book a sports massage before a workout to loosen you up and help protect against injuries or one just after to reduce soreness.

What to expect from a Sports Massage

A sports massage therapist uses the palm of the hand to bear down on the muscles in your legs and back to separate and relax them and his fingers to put direct pressure on a muscle in spasm, which can be painful but will reduce your pain later. The massage can also be applied to specific areas, e.g. if you're a runner, the massage can be concentrated on your legs and if you're a swimmer on your upper body, etc.

Depending on whether you are having a half or full body massage, a treatment normally last between 30 – 60 minutes.

Serious enquiries only please.

Reflexology

Is a healing method based on the fact that the meridian lines of the human body start at the feet. These are energy highways, which can be stimulated by foot massage. Different parts of the foot correspond to different organs and a treatment can establish which parts of the body are out of balance and working inefficiently. Over a period of time, with multiple sessions, the meridians are stimulated so that the body is healed. In addition, foot reflexology feels wonderful - it is luxurious as well as therapeutic.

Benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology relieves congestion, aids circulation, relaxes muscles, calms over-activity in any part of the body, and stimulates under-activity. It massively improves co-operation and co-ordination between the bodily systems.

It also improves and strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, PMT, menopause, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, aids in the relief of rheumatism and arthritis pain. Helps sinus problems, chest problems, IBS, muscular problems and many other problems within the body's system. A Reflexology treatment can correct imbalances and so return the body to a healthy state.

Not only is reflexology useful for treating ill-health, but it is also effective in maintaining good health and preventing illness. With reflexology, health problems can be detected early and imbalances corrected and this can prevent serious symptoms from developing.

HOPI EAR-CANDLING

For hundreds of years the American Hopi Indian tribes have used the gentle art of ear candling to protect and cleanse their ears. The technique originated with the Egyptians (who apparently used reeds) and the Chinese have also used this method for centuries.

Hopi Ear-candles are placed gently in the ear and the outer end is lit. They are traditionally used to cleanse and harmonise the different energy fields in the individual Aura, in preparation for a state-like trance, and to drive out the negative energies. This may seem a strange concept for the modern observer – but the use of candles evolved in an age where therapy and religion formed a natural unit.

Benefits of a Hopi Ear Candle Treatment

Ear-candles are considered a classic clearance Therapy (also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy) and can be used successfully for many problems related to the head and ear area. The lymph system and metabolism can be favourably influenced by this intensive but pleasant and completely painless method of local heat application as well as the following:

• Irritations to the ear, frontal and paranasal sinuses
• Pressure regulation in cases of headache, migraine, sinusitis and rhinitis
• Activation of blood flow, the metabolic process and lymphatic system
• Local reflex stimulation of the circulatory energy flow
• Co-ordination of the cerebral hemispheres
• Relaxant calming in cases of excessive excitement, irritation and stress symptoms
• Noises in the ear (ringing, crackling)

Hopi Ear-Candling treatment takes 30 minutes.

Tera-Mai™ Reiki & Seichem Healing

Is a gentle hands-on method of healing that helps to release any blockages in the body and accelerates the healing process.
What happens during a treatment?

I work in your aura, the electro-magnetic field that surrounds the body, on many levels. A treatment will help to balance you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. During a treatment (1 hour) you remain fully clothed and may feel a pleasant sensation of warmth, coolness, tingling, deep relaxation - to falling asleep.

The benefits of a treatment

• works on many levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
• a great stress buster that promotes deep relaxation
• soothes pain and improves joint mobility

Rejuvenating Face Massage

When was the last time you took yourself off to the gym to exercise your face? No? Of course not – we only exercise our bodies and totally neglect our faces. The solution? Why not try a rejuvenating Indian Face Massage.

This very special face massage uses particular muscle stimulating techniques which ‘remind’ the muscles to align more closely to the bone structure.

As tension and stress held in the face fall away, the body responds and this has an amazingly relaxing effect. At the same time the treatment improves circulation of the blood and lymph, clearing away metabolic waste. This massage will uplift, firm and bring lightness back into your features. 60 minutes

Luxury Facial

Why not try a luxury facial for that real “Look Good, Feel Good Factor”, ideal for those special occasions. 30/45 minutes

Thai Seated Massage

This massage is a very popular stress-busting treatment that involves massage and stretching to the back, shoulders, arms, neck, scalp and face.

Thai Massage has been taught by Buddhist Monks for many centuries in South East Asia and the art is still taught in the temples of Thailand, with the client on the ground. The Thai Seated Massage has been especially adapted using these massage techniques.

This massage will increase blood flow, improve circulation and relieve stress and tension in the body. It also improves muscle tone, stiffness and flexibility in the joints and enhances the immune system.
30 minutes.

Physio Professional

...is an hand held electrical massage machine helps in the break down of unwanted cellulite and deep fatty tissue. It is especially effective when used in combination with other cellulite eliminating treatments such as the Aromatherapy Body Wrap and Swedish Massage.
30 minutes

Crystal Chakra Balancing

Crystal wands (Etheric Weavers) are used in conjunction with Reiki to balance the major and minor chakra centres of the body, allowing natural self-healing and regeneration to occur.

Each colour of the crystal wands creates a specific frequency that resonates with the body and realigns the energy field in the etheric layer. This alignment connects us with information from the soul level and allows us to function more in alignment with our life purpose.
