Hawaiian Kahuna (Lomi Lomi )Massage

This ancient Polynesian style of massage is truly an experience. Often described as the “Rolls Royce” of massage, Hawaiian Kahuna was traditionally used during rites of passage as a transformational massage and healing system. Also known as Hawaiian Temple Style massage or Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, this beautiful form of bodywork provides a holistic approach to healing by balancing the body-mind in the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions. Continuous flowing rhythmic movements using forearms and hands are used with the incorporation of underbodywork, giving you the feeling there is more than one person working on you at one time. Balance is restored to the body allowing stress, anxiety and pain to be let go, stored emotions to be released. Clients often describe this massage as feeling as though waves are washing over them, like swimming with dolphins.


Remedial Massage
A remedial massage treatment uses a variety of techniques tracing the discomfort as far back as possible to the original cause. Treating both the symptoms and the cause the massage can be gentle or strong, deep of shallow, and passive streching moves are often used at the end of the treatment. Particularly good for muscular and skeletal disfunctions including whiplash, sports injuries, acute pain, tension headaches and migraines, back shoulder and neck pain.


Hot Stone Therapy
The use of heat to relax aches while soothing the nervous system can be traced back thousands of years through many different cultures. The deep penetrating heat of the stones combined with a variety of massage techniques and pressure allows tension, stress, muscular aches and pains to dissolve from the body with minimal effort. A variety of heated stones in various shapes and sizes are used in stationary placements along the body as well as being incorporated into your full body massage. A slice of heaven.


Pregnancy Massage
Using a specifically designed pregnancy mat so you are able to lie on your stomach in complete comfort in the second and third trimester of your pregnancy, this massage is tailored to suit your individual needs. Using a variety of massage techniques from remedial to relaxation, your body is able to relax and release stored tension resulting from your changing body during this amazing time. Extremely beneficial in reducing peripheral swelling, muscle cramps, back neck and shoulder pain.


Deep Tissue Massage
As the name implies this massage focuses on the deeper layers of the muscles, joints and fascia of the body, using deep compression and friction movements to loosen and release deeply held tension points and built up toxins. The massage focuses on specific areas to restore muscles back to their original length and may cause a small amount of soreness during and after the session. It is very beneficial for relieving muscular tension and spasms, recovery from injuries (ie whiplash, falls, sporting injuiries), postural problems and to increase flexibility.


Foot Reflexology
Reflexology was developed in the east over 5000 years ago and works on the principle that there are reflex points in the hands and feet that correspond to all parts of the body including organs and glands. By stimulating these reflex points using a specific thumb and finger technique, physiological changes take place in the body as our own healing potential is stimulated. Rebalanced energy is directed to various parts of the body and organs, clearing blockages and restoring balance. Reflexology is relaxing, non-invsive and has wonderful benefits for health all round.


Aromatherapy Massage
The Egyptians, Indians, Chinese and Greek Romans all used essential oils for health and well being dating back to as early as 4000BC. Aromatherapy massage combines a personalised blend of pure essential oils with a full body relaxation massage to work on two levels, the psychological aspect of the mind and the physical aspect of the body.


Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping is a modified version of the ancient Eastern-style cupping which targets the musculoskeletal system rather than meridian systems used by traditional Chinese practitioners. The cups are used in a moving sequence, rather than stationery, allowing the tissue to be lifted which releases surrounding fascia. Myofascial cupping is extremely effective as a treatment within itself or incorporated into a Remedial massage treatment. Some superficial bruising may occur from the suction of the cups.

What is Fascia?
Fascia is the soft tissue component of the connective tissue that provides support and protection for most structures within the human body, including muscle. It surrounds the structures and it can become restricted due to overuse, trauma and inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow.


Swedish Massage
Concentrating on the superficial muscle layers of the body this full body relaxation massage allows you to destress and unwind while increasing circulation, and soothing the nervous system. For those new to massage this is the perfect introduction.



Energy Healing

In almost every culture, energy healing has been practiced since humans came into existance. Energy flows through us and is all around us. Everything in the universe is made up of energy, it is forever moving, shifting and flowing, affecting our lives. Energy is what makes the grass grow, the wind blow and a stream to flow. It is the life force in everything, especially us.


Reiki

What does the word reiki mean?
Reiki comes from the terms "rei", which signifies "universal/spiritual wisdom", and "ki" (or "chi" in Chinese) which means "vital energy". Reiki can therefore be translated as "Universal Life Energy". It is pronounced ray-key.

What is Reiki?
Dr Mikao Usui founded the system of reiki healing in Japan in the early 1800’s. It is a very powerful hands on healing technique that is completely safe, gentle, very simple and non – intrusive. It is a holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonizing all aspects of the person – body, mind, emotions and spirit. It can also be used to encrourage personal and spiritual awareness and growth. Universal energy is channelled through the practitioner to the client, as hands are laid over specific areas of the body. The chanelled energy intuitively moves to wherever it is needed, treating the whole body, not specific conditions. Reiki is not a religion, nor a belief system. It works regardless of whether the recipient believes or fully understands it or not. Reiki is used in hospitals all over the world particularly the USA and UK.

What does a treatment involve?
The treatment starts with the client (fully clothed) lying on their back and the practitioners hands are placed gently on the body in specific places, being kept still for a few minutes. The responses during treatments vary considerably. Some people experience warmth or tingling as the reiki energy flows through them, or certain parts of their body might feel cold, especially after the practicioner’s hands are removed. Usually the client feels peaceful, relaxed and calm, often drifting off to sleep. However some can become emotional as Reiki begins to break down old patterns and blockages bringing them to the surface. After the treatment has ended clients may experience a shift in consciousnesss, a realization of the underlying causes of problems they have been having.

How can I feel following a Reiki Treatment?
Some people feel energized immediatley following a treatment while others feel sleepy and incredibly peaceful. Some people feel euphoric with happiness, laughter and positive thinking, while others feel lighter and more spiritually aware. Everybody responds differently to Reiki energy as your body distributes the energy to where it is needed, clearing different things for different people. Occasionally in the days following a treatment it is also possible to experience what is termed a “healing crisis” where temporary physical symptoms manifest like a “cold” as the reiki energy works through the blockages and the body does its best to get rid of them. It is all positive change clearing the old to make space for the new.

Reiki is safe, gentle and extremely effective. Absolutely everyone can receive reiki from new born babies to the elderly, even animals can receive reiki.


Vibrational Gem & Flower essences

What is a vibrational essence and how does it work?
Vibrational essences are based on the basic homoeopathic principle of "like cures like". Essences are based on plants, gems or minerals. Each essence has a particular vibration or resonance characteristic of the matter it is made from and that resonance corresponds with particular emotional, physical and spiritual attributes.
Essences are a form of very subtle healing that work on the energy centres (Chakras) of the human body and animals, balancing and harmonising energy flow. They are effective in removing negative thought patterns, blocked energy, negative emotions and releasing past traumas. Essences are also effective in supporting and assisting people to move forward in more positive ways eg, with increased courage, clarity or peace of mind. Using vibrational essences can be a gentle, yet effective way of bringing balance into your body healing issues and patterns that are often below consciousness to bring lasting change. Working on a subtle level essences assist in removing negative emotional and mental habits clearing the way for a more positive relationship with your body.
