Therapist Christine Thompson has gained skills and experience in various modalities which enables her to utilise this knowledge to assist her clients to a healthier life
The journey to live a healthier life is one we take each day.
In our busy life schedules we often don’t hear the voice of our body calling out for attention. The headaches, anxiety, lack of sleep, pain, discomfort, and many other little niggles you experience is the body yelling HELP as it tries to gain your attention! Taking the time to listen and finding the time to care for the holistic health needs of your body gives the reward of better health, harmony and wellbeing.
Massage and other Natural Therapies enable you to understand your body, help ease pain, improve muscle movement and function, reduce stress symptoms and alleviate discomfort and anxiety, so that your body may experience wellness.
If you are unsure which treatment will benefit you, please phone me to discuss your enquiry
Remedial / Relaxation Massage has many benefits and is used to treat the whole body or target specific areas such as Back or Feet.

- The diagnosis, treatment and recovery from cancer, MS, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and other challenging conditions can bring a great deal of stress, anxiety and fear into the lives of a person experiencing these illnesses. These emotions can also be experienced by their families. Individualised massage treatments ease many symptoms.
- Being overweight should not discourage anyone from having regular massage treatments. A treatment designed to suit the comfort levels and physical ability of each client will enable them to enjoy the benefits of massage. Beneficial to any weight loss program.
- The elderly can also find great benefit from regular massage treatments helping them to cope with pain and poor sleep patterns. As the body ages, the skin, muscles and bones become more fragile and massage treatments are designed to accommodate these issues.
- Going through a time of emotional upheaval (grief, sorrow, low self esteem, etc) can impact heavily on the mind and body causing physical aches and pains as well as impacting on sleep patterns, causing digestive issues and headaches.
