How will a therapy session help you?
 • It offers ‘time out’ totally for you – you don’t have to think about anyone else
• It helps balance your body, calm your mind and soothe your stress
• You will have individual attention from someone who will listen
• You have the chance to relax & unwind
• With ongoing treatment, your therapist can support your efforts to address your health concerns
What happens in a therapy session?
 At the start of your session, the therapist will ask some simple questions about your health.
For Reiki, you just need to remove your shoes, for Reflexology your shoes and socks.
Massage can be given with your clothes on, but results are better if you remove your top. For counselling and homeopathy, no undressing is needed.
All our therapists are professionally qualified and very experienced.
After the session, drink extra water to help bring your body into balance and de-tox.
Which therapies are available?
A wide range of complementary therapies is available:
 |
AROMATHERAPY works with the pure properties of plants, using their essential oils in a natural, complementary therapy and may help to improve physical and emotional well being. Aromatherapy oils can be used in a variety of ways, most often by massaging into the skin to allow body and mind to absorb their benefits. |
|
AYURVEDIC MASSAGE uses traditional herbal oils from India. It works on both the physical and mental levels, transmitting a life-giving energy that may assist all systems of the body to repair and renew themselves, by working on Marma points. Different treatments are available, some using medicated powder and warm oil. |
 |
COUNSELLING offers a private, confidential place to explore issues or problems with a trained, qualified professional. A counsellor offers the chance to discuss difficulties and express feelings openly, in a way that may be difficult with friends or family. Counselling may help people see things more clearly and enable them to make choices or changes.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE is usually applied to large muscle groups, working more deeply into the tissues and muscles to help promote relaxation of tight muscles, increasing circulation and nutrition to the muscles, tendons and ligaments. It targets painful trouble spots where help is needed to release tension. |

HOMEOPATHY has been established for over two hundred years and has a simple, holistic approach to healing. The practitioner assesses the health of each client on an individual basis, then prescribes a highly diluted remedy to match their overall health picture as closely as possible. In homeopathic philosophy, the aim is to stimulate the body's own healing processes. As with other complementary therapies, homeopathic treatment is not a substitute for conventional medical care, but can be followed alongside it.

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE is based on the ancient wisdom of traditional Indian Ayurvedic healing. The face, scalp and upper body are massaged using a range of techniques and may help ease away tension, stress, fatigue and aches & pains. Healing oils are usually applied, though this treatment can also be performed through clothes. |
 |
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE aims to encourage the flow of lymph throughout the body and may reduce tiredness and fatigue by removing toxins and boosting the immune system. The lymphatic system drains fluid from tissue spaces, cells and blood, cleans it up and returns it to the blood circulatory system. |

PHYSIOTHERAPY offers treatments for all types of muscle, bone and joint problems, including spinal and peripheral joint mobilisations, with the aim of eaing pain and increasing mobility. |

REFLEXOLOGY sees the feet as a mirror of the body, with particular reflex points on the foot linked to different parts of the body. The therapist gives a relaxing foot massage then presses on specific zones of the foot which may stimulate the body’s own healing of imbalances in the system linked to disease, disturbance to health or distress. |

REIKI (pronounced Ray-key) is Japanese word meaning ‘universal life energy’. This powerful healing technique has ancient origins and was rediscovered in the late 19th century by Dr Mikao Usui. The client lies on a treatment couch while the Reiki practitioner places their hands in a series of positions along the body to channel energy according to the person’s needs. |
 |
YOGA THERAPY is a traditional discipline rooted in India’s earliest history. Each individual is offered a programme including posture work, breathing, voice work and meditation to work on at home. It may be helpful for working on specific areas of the body and improving breathing. |
