About Me
My name is Jordana Boyle, and I am passionate about providing nurturing care and treatment to women experiencing pain, stress, tension and anxiety in their lives. I also have a great love for providing massage as a service during the pregnancy journey.
It was through my own struggle with anxiety and depression, that I found the beautiful, healing art of massage.Through receiving massage I found a sense of peace within myself and my body, that I hadn't felt in a long time. I was able to tune out, and tune into nurturing myself, releasing the stress and anxiety that wracked my mind and body.
So after much soul searching, I decided to study massage, and help people feel the joy and benefits, that I felt massage had brought me.
Now I am living out my dream of providing caring, individualized massage treatments in a tranquil, warm, private setting created within my home for you to enjoy!
Massage Therapy the timeless miracle
The typical initiation to massage is motivated by a stressful or painful condition. But massage’s magical ministrations go deeper and offer you far more than you may have ever suspected. Regular massage can greatly benefit your overall health and well-being. Read on to learn some of the wonderful health aspects available to you through massage.
Massage can:
* Alleviates stress
* Aids digestion
* Improves circulation
* Relieves tight or sore muscles
* Aids detoxification
* Improves range of motion
And much more...
The most obvious benefit shared by virtually everyone is that a full body massage makes you feel great! The stress-relieving, soothing results are enough for many to include massage as a regular part of their lives. But what of the less obvious benefits?
* The first sense to develop is your sense of touch. It’s not surprising when you consider that each square inch of your skin contains roughly 50 nerve endings. With as many as five million total touch receptors in your skin relaying messages on to your brain, your body’s initial response to massage is to relax and de-stimulate. Even a simple touch has been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce the heart rate. Touch can also signal the brain to produce endorphins, your body’s natural pain suppressors.
* Going deeper, massage can restore suppleness and strength to your muscles, improving their overall function. It’s the ideal treatment for releasing tension or muscles in spasm and helps to release toxins such as lactic acid (made by muscle tissue during exercise), as well.
* Proper circulation is vital to continued health. Your blood and lymph carry nourishment to the trillions of cells throughout your body and then carry away the waste to be eliminated from the cells. Massage encourages a better exchange of nutrients at the cellular level and more thorough detoxification. Remember, the future "you" is determined by how well your army of cells regenerate themselves, so this is indeed a critical part of remaining healthy.
* The nervous system is your communication network, sending messages constantly that determine proper functioning throughout your body. Stress can affect the ability of the nervous system to do its job. The many nerve endings found in the skin and muscles are soothed by massage, and this contributes to keeping your internal lines of communication open and operational.
Modern studies have shown that massage can be used to successfully treat a range of issues, including:
• Back pain
• Headaches/Migraines
• Tight/ tense muscles
• Injury recovery
• Digestive issues
• Immune System problems
• Insomnia
• Sciatica
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Circulation issues
• Repetitive Strain Injury
• Arthritis
• Whiplash
• Pre-natal pain and discomfort
• Fatigue
Massage Therapy Improves Emotional Wellbeing
Massage Therapy has also proven to have a profound effect on our emotional wellbeing. One of the immediate benefits of a Massage Treatment is the wonderful feeling of deep relaxation and peace. This occurs because the massage actually prompts the release of endorphins, which are brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce the feelings of happiness and wellbeing.
With the increase in endorphins, the levels of negative stress hormones such as adrenalin, nor epinephrine and cortisol are reduced. This means that the body is able to heal itself more efficiently, due to a less stressed immune system, and our general wellbeing and quality of life is increased.
So if you are suffering from some of the following, Massage Therapy can be very beneficial for you:
• Anxiety
• General stress- feeling burnt out and not in balance
• Depression
• Lack of self worth
• Lack of body awareness
• Any other psychological issues that are causing you discomfort
Massage Services Offered
Therapeutic Massage:
Otherwise known as Relaxation Massage, or Swedish Massage. This is a nurturing, relaxing massage, performed with firm but gentle massage strokes to release bodily tension, and increase your sense of peace and wellbeing.
Deep Tissue Massage:
Otherwise known as Sports Massage. This massage is performed with deep, strong massage strokes. Smaller cross fibre techniques are also incorporated to break down muscle fibre constriction and stimulate blood supply. This allows toxins from the muscles to be removed, which in turn calms the nervous system to ease pain and discomfort in the tense, contracted or injured muscle tissue. Deep Tissue Massage also helps to repair damaged muscle tissue and improve joint mobility, through the body.
Trigger Point Therapy:
Trigger points form within muscles that have been repetitiously overused or injured in surgery or an accident. Trigger points are accumulations of waste products within soft muscle tissue. When touched they feel like nodules or taut bands of constricted muscle tissue. Common characteristics of Trigger points are increased muscle tension and muscle shortening in certain areas, which of course leads to a lot of pain. Trigger points can present themselves as referred pain, or referred sensations. For example tingling, pins and needles, dull ache, shooting pains or hot nervy like sensations.
Trigger Point Therapy diffuses these trigger points by locating them within the soft tissue and applying pressure through a pumping action, until the Trigger point is released. Releasing Trigger points helps to release endorphins, which eliminate pain and help the body too re-energize.
Aromatherapy Massage:
Aromatherapy is the art of using essential oils to increase our health and wellbeing. Aromatherapy massage is a relaxing yet powerful massage, incorporated with an individualised essential oil blend created to suit you. Through massage the essential oils together with a base oil are absorbed through the skin into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream the essential oils have a profound effect on physical healing and psychological well being.
Some common oils used are:
• Eucalyptus/Myrtle:Great for congestion and colds- Received through a vaporiser.
• Geranium: Great for menopausal problems, PMS and injured muscles. Received through massage and vaporisation etc.
• Lavender: incredibly versatile oil. Main uses are for relaxation, insomnia and reduction of bodily aches and pains - Received through massage and vaporisation etc.
• Bergamot: A very uplifting citrus oil. Wonderful for treating depression and fatigue. Received through massage and vaporisation.
Pregnancy Massage:
When you are pregnant it is important to pamper and nurture yourself, and take care of your mind, body and spirit. Pregnancy massage is a gentle but effective massage given after your first trimester (or 12 weeks) of pregnancy. It is a massage which can greatly relieve your muscle cramps, spasms and pains which are often encountered through the lower back, hips, legs and neck during pregnancy. The massage is performed in a comfortable side laying position, with body pillows supplied for extra comfort. Side laying is recommended during the massage to stop pressure being placed on the inferior vena cava, which can if occluded cause a dramatic drop in blood pressure.
Additional benefits of Pregnancy Massage include:
• Increase in physical and emotional well being
• Reduces peripheral swelling
• Soothes the Nervous System
• Prevents insomnia
• Gives baby a sense of calm and peace
