REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is deeply relaxing yet surprisingly energizing. All part of its great balancing capacity. You may feel you are being pampered during a reflexology session but do not underestimate the powerful effects this treatment can have on all of your body systems.
Reflexology is primarily a relaxation modality which deals with the principle that their are reflex points within the feet and hands that correspond to all the glands, organs and structures of the body. Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers in a pressure/massage style of manipulation. It assists the bodies own natural healing abilities in returning it to a state of balance.
Proven benefits of Reflexology are:-
Reduces stress
Balances the nervous system
Improves sleep quality
Boosts lymphatic function
Improves circulation
Detoxifies the body
Enhances the body's natural healing process
Assists all body systems
Promotes body awareness
Increases vitality
MASSAGE
Massage assists the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It relaxes and tones the muscles preventing injuries, increases circulation and therefore improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all body cells.
I practice therapeutic massage through the use of a variety of massage techniques. I am trained in deep tissue, cross fibre, ischemic compression, Tui Na, Kahuna, Hot Stone and Swedish Techniques.
After discussion with you the client, we will identify what your needs are. The techniques which will be used will be dependant up the outcomes you are wanting. Massage sessions can range from 30min, 60min, 90min dependant upon your requirement. My area of specialisation is Relaxation Massage.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE - 75min treatment
The importance of a well-functioning lymphatic system in maintaining health, removing wastes and pathogens, as well as fluid balance is of utmost importance.
The lymph vessel system carries excess water, proteins and wastes from the connective tissue back to the blood stream. During the transportation process the lymph is cleaned, filtered and concentrated. Many immune reactions occur in the lymph nodes. If the pathways become congested, blocked, damaged or severed, then fluids can build up in the connective tissue leading to edema and fibrosis. Eventually cell pathology may begin. If there is damage in the connective tissue (e.g. burns, chronic inflammation, ulceration, hematoma), then the lymph vessel system must transport the damaged cells, inflammatory products and toxins away from the area. The quicker this can happen, the faster recovery will be.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle pumping style massage technique. Dependant upon body size a whole body treatment will take between 60-90 minutes. I am trained in the Vodder Method of MLD.
MY GOAL FOR YOU
My goal is to provide a professional treatment tailor designed to meet the needs of your body, mind, spirit on that given day. Ultimately your body knows what it needs to heal, so I make no claims in this area. I do know however, like most things in life, given the ideal environment our bodies will use this natural ability to achieve homeostasis. Homeostasis is the medical term for balance in all areas of the body. All our bodies are constantly trying to maintain is homeostasis.
It is through the use of Reflexology and Massage that I can assist you to help regain the ideal environment for your body, mind and spirit to do what is natural - regain balance and heal.
Much research these days tells us that the major cause of imbalance with in our bodies is stress. With the benefit of personal experience and the proof of hundreds of client interactions I can atest to the results of both Reflexology and Massage for a holisitic approach to lessening the affects of stress on the body.
It is through the use of deep relaxation we give our body and psyche the time it needs to reorder the unrest within. If you are experiencing a sense of being unbalanced, take time out to listen and feel what your body is telling you.........if you listen you will hear what you need to do.
