Treatments
Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique consists of a very precise sequence of moves at specific points on a person's body. Your muscles and tendons are gently manoeuvred resulting in a general feeling of well-being and pleasant relaxation. But it is only the beginning. The body's natural healing responses are triggered and improvement is usually experienced within a few days. Two or three treatments, usually at weekly intervals are often sufficient, each treatment lasting about 45 minutes. The technique is gentle, non-invasive and does not involve the use of messy oils. It is not necessary to undress as the technique can be done through light clothes.
Bowen Technique strives to find the origin of a problem and therefore is very effective for musculo-skeletal problems, including ankle, knee, back and neck pain.
The beauty of the Bowen technique is that it facilitates whole body healing. Bowen technique activates the body's own ability to heal itself. The process is not limited to the presenting physical symptoms but extends to the emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of the individual concerned. It is an amazingly effective therapy for acute and chronic problems.
Other problems assisted by the Bowen Technique include:
- Frozen Shoulder
- Headaches
- Frozen Shoulder
- Repetitive Stress Injury (wrist, elbow and hand problems)
- Many muscle and joint pains
- Emotional stress and anxiety
Jaw Balance
RESET is an energy technique, which relaxes the jaw muscles, to balance the jaw and the whole body. We know that approximately 80% of the electrical messages from the brain to the rest of the body pass through the Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ), the hinge joining the jaw to the rest of the skull. If energy in the jaw is not balanced, messages sent from the brain to the rest of your body become scrambled, causing problems. Stress in your jaw can interrupt blood circulation to the brain. This can disturb the hormonal, digestive , endocrine, circulatory and central nervous systems.
You will feel improvements in your jaw and reduce teeth pains, neck and backaches, sinus problems, headaches, knee pain from arthritis and tinnitus. You will experience a wonderfully balancing and relaxing treatment for teeth grinding, "clicky" jaws or if you have TMJ pain. Energy is directed through the hands on the face, jaw and forehead to balance specific muscles and ligaments. Generally two treatments are required but sometimes it is necessary to explore emotional and other issues using Kinergetics.
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle, non-intrusive, yet very powerful healing technique. It is a hands-on healing therapy utilising spiritually directed "universal life-force energy". It will tap into this universal life forcet to facilitate the body's own life force moving freely,. Sometimes our life force is blocked by strong emotions such as fear, sadness, anger, worry, stress and negative thoughts. Physical pain may be felt as a result of these energetic blockages that prevent us from reaching our full potential.
Reiki will enable you to reach a a state of deep relaxation, allowing healing on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. It will also help you release any pain and discomfort which will then boost your energy, reduce stress and anxiety levels. It will bring about a feeling of harmony and well-being. As it is pure energy, Reiki can boost your immune system and improve your health. It is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can benefit from.
During a Reiki treatment, you will be asked to lie fully clothed on a padded table in a warm, quiet and comfortable room. Hands are placed in a series of positions on or just above the body. Energy is channelled from the universe through my body into the receiver. A session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. For stress reduction, one or two sessions are recommended. However, for chronic conditions, it may require more sessions. Due the soothing nature of Reiki , many people find it blissfully relaxing and refreshing to the mind and body. Many find that after Reiki sessions, they feel more motivated and focused..
Reflexology
Reflexology is a specific form of acupressure. It is a unique method of pressure using thumbs and fingers on reflex points on the feet and hands that correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. It promotes health, relaxation, well-being and balances the body. It can be used to treat specific ailments.
Practised in diverse cultures for centuries, reflexology is much more than a foot massage. For either preventative care or in response to physical or emotional distress, reflexology creates physical changes that can bring about balance, ease and healing.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We have over 7,000 nerve endings on the soles of our feet, making them quite sensitive and responsive to reflexology treatments.
If you are stressed, overworked or injured, I can send a calm and intentional message to the nervous system by skilfully touching the feet. Reflexology uses the innate healing powers of the body to heal itself. Reflexology promotes relaxation and letting go of tension. Beyond relaxation, reflexology improves circulation, boosting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and other tissues.
Reflexology speeds up the elimination of waste products and lactic acid. Muscle, tension and soreness is reduced and healing time for injuries or illness is decreased. Immune function, skin tone and the ability to concentrate also improve when circulation is increased.
It is an one hour treatment which includes an aromatherapy foot bath and half leg massage. There is no need to undress, simply take your shoes off and relax. It is a wonderfully relaxing treatment and one of the favourite treatments at the Centre.

Aromatherapy/Massage
Aromatherapy combines the ancient art of specialised massage with individually chosen essential oils help to maintain and restore vitality, balance and well-being. Scents travel to the brain via the nose and skin encouraging desired outcome by gently soothing the psyche and emotion. It is a one hour hour massage using a combination of remedial, swedish massage, lymphatic drainage and acupressure techniques.
Lymphatic Drainage
Your lymphatic system is your front line of defence in fighting bodily infections, detoxifying the body and transporting metabolic wastes, excess water, bacteria and toxins out of the body. The lymph glands (at neck, armpits, groin etc.) are connected by a broad network of vessels which transport the fluid. Muscular movement is required to move it around the body, as there is no actual pump. Therefore, fluid tend to accumulate with a low immune system, illness and not being physically active.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle whole body treatment that relaxes the nervous system and aids the body’s immune system. It is very relaxing and clients have consistently reported more energy after a treatment.
It is highly recommended for those prone to and recovering from sore throats, colds, infections, on-going tiredness, excess fluid, low immunity, swollen and sore nodes in armpits, neck and groin and for the physically inactive. It can also assist with weight loss and reducing cellulite.
Kinergetics
Kinergetics is a branch of Kinesiology using a combination of modalities such as Reiki and Kinesiology, to speed healing. Kinergetics is a powerful healing process as it can uncover the underlying causes for physical and emotional pain. It is effective for releasing emotions buried in the subconscious. A number of techniques are used including crystal healing and discovering the nutritional cause of allergies.
Nutrition
The foundation of your health is determined by the health of your individual cells that make up your body. The cells in your body are constantly rejuvenating by using the food that you eat by digesting and assimilating it. With the combination of a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise you will avoid illness, look younger and feel wonderful.
Do you feel lack of energy? or feeling constantly tired? You may not be digesting and assimilating the nutrients from your food. Eating the wrong types of foods, or worse still skipping meals can lead to nutritional imbalances that can lead to many health problems like cancers, heart diseases, strokes and diabetes.
