SERVICES
What is Remedial Massage?
Holistically treating the whole body when muscles & tendons become tense, knotted, immobile or damaged, using techniques that can be gentle or strong deep or light. Aiming to find the original cause to heal the disorder as well as the symptoms. Treatments are tailored to meet each client’s needs and preferences they can include:
Postural assessment - to identify areas of postural imbalance
Trigger point - used to deactivate small contraction knots in the muscles
Cupping - helps activate the lymphatic system, promote blood circulation, and deep tissue repair
Deep tissue - focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue
Stretching - easing tight muscles
Myofascial release - a gentle blend of stretching and massage
Special testing - used to pinpoint specific areas of dysfunction and movement restrictions.

What is Dorn Therapy?
This is a gentle, simple, non-invasive method of realignment; there is no cracking or forcing of any joints.
Sessions are interactive - the client performs gentle movements for example moving the leg as the therapist applies pressure into the hip joint, allowing the body’s own natural movements to realign the body.
What to expect?
The therapist will take your medical history and discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, while you are lying down on your back, leg length is checked, followed by the hip, knee and ankle joints, next you will stand up while the therapist works on the pelvis and lower back, finally you will be seated while the upper back and neck worked on. Finishing with a Breuss massage that focuses on the spine using stretching strokes to gently gap the joints.
Self help exercises
Often there is a movement that can be performed by the client at home that mimics what the therapist has done during the session.
What can it treat?
Potentially it can treat any painful condition that involves muscle or joint pain, some examples include:
• Functional scoliosis
• Hip pain
• Pelvic pain
• Headaches
• Neck & Shoulder pain
Initial consultation 1 hour (to allow for medical history prior to treatment)
What is Relaxation massage?

• Improve circulation
• Eases and tones muscles
• Provides a deep relaxation that allows our minds & bodies to recharge & rejuvenate Initial consultation 1 hour (to allow for medical history prior to treatment)
return treatments: 30 minutes 1 hour or 90 minutes
What is Metamorphosis?
Metamorphosis is about ‘undoing’ rather than creating, releasing blockages to the point that we become in balance with all aspects of life. The theme of Metamorphosis is that everyone is his or her own healer and the healing comes from the inside, out.
Practitioners act as ‘Catalysts’ - a catalyst for change. The aim of the session is not to ‘heal’, but to facilitate change. Metamorphosis is ultimately about realizing your true potential from within by eliminating blockages/behavior patterns sitting within the unconscious and holding you back.
Everybody can benefit and Metamorphosis is suitable for all ages. Issues manifest because we have created blockages within us (from our thoughts, feelings and beliefs that can stem back to our time of conception and beyond) that stop us from being in balance.
Treatments last 30 minutes or one hour and are a stand alone session. Advisable not to be mixed in the same session with any other therapy due to the nature of the healing working from the inside out, therefore conflicting with massage which works from the outside in.
