Massage: I generally do a combination of Remedial and Relaxation massage. My pressure is light to firm, with attention to detail. My intention is not to force the body to relax. I work in a more subtle and intuitive manner. Allowing the body time, with positive intention and a good breathing technique the body and mind are able to relax to a more harmonious and natural state.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
is a treatment designed to reduce your pain and muscle contraction in a specific area of your body after an injury or strain and because of general life stresses and poor posture etc. Stretches may be performed during the treatment and take home exercises may also be given. Massage in general aids in detoxification of your body and can improve your energy levels through promoting better physical, emotional and spiritual health. I am a great fan of the semi-suppine posture (Alexander technique) which is wonderful for muscle, joint and whole body relaxation.
RELAXATION MASSAGE aims to help your body unwind and let go of its stress and tension, to improve your range of movement and revitalize yourself. Massage is grounding and it can help a person focus more on the present moment. Everyone needs the nurturing and therapeutic benefits of a massage treatment at least on a monthly basis. Weekly to fortnightly sessions are also of great benefit.
Often we live in a sub-conscious state of physical and emotional contraction. Massage through its self-nurturing and therapeutic touch allows the body's muscles to release their tension, through a gentle re-education and for the person to breath as they would in a relaxed manner. This occurs when the mind is at ease and when the body feels safe to let go. The combined effect of music, aromatic oils and creams and the masseur's knowledge of working with and reading the body and relating to each client allows this to happen.
Who Benefits from the healing effects of a massage or reflexology treatment?
In a word everyone from healthy people who wish to maintain their level of health and fitness to people with stress and illness in their lives.
Other conditions which may benefit include:
Post pregnancy for improved circulation and removal of toxins. De-stress yourself before and after birth, tone the uterus and prevent baby blues.
Please note prior to birth a relaxing session would be given to the mother. When the body is in harmony and in a relaxed state then the body is better able to carry out its natural functions. As a reflexologist I work with intention, the aim is not to force anything but to work with the body. I would not induce labour. A midwife who is also a reflexologist may assist in this area.
Children with digestive and breathing concerns such as asthma and sinus problems.
People with; high blood pressure, stress and muscle tension, oedema, Chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, diabetis, obesity, cancer, Parkinson's disease etc.
When we nurture ourselves, we are in a better position to nurture others.
Body work is calming and nurturing, helping people to relax to a beneficial alpha-theta level. At this level our bodies are better able to heal and feel at peace. Freedom of movement and an increased range of movement can occur after a treatment. Pain levels can be reduced. People can feel happier, lighter and healthier.
If you wish to be pampered like the ancient Egyptians then come and enjoy a REFLEXOLOGY treatment
Reflexology works on a peron's mind, body and soul. Reflexology enhances both physical and emotional wellbeing. As the feet are a mirror of your body, by working on the feet, the whole body and person is also worked on. Harmony is restored. Where the life force has accumulated it is encouraged to flow through the therapist work and the client's internal doctor as the body's natural instinct is to heal itself.
Reflexology has the potential to transport a person into a different realm of consciousness, where a person is at peace and nothing else matters. People may dream, see beautiful colours in their mind's eye and blissfully sleep.

REFLEXOLOGY
treats the feet in order to have an outcome somewhere else in the body. Undulating pressure is used on reflex centres on the entire foot to destress and decongest not only the foot but the body and mind. The premise is that the reflex points in the feet affect and relate to every organ and structure in the body. Congestion may relate to a physical condition that is present in the body, it may be an imbalance in the meridian flow of energy, it may relate to an emotional condition or it may be a structural feature of the foot. Foot readings can be given during a reflexology session in regards to physical and emotional health and wellbeing.
I am interested in working with menstrual issues, working with children, stress and anxiety related issues. I have had some good results in these areas.
Reflexology Foot massage is an holistic therapy which is deeply relaxing and therapeutic. It suits pre-conception, pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adults to palliative care.
That is because Reflexology works the
nervous system,
the immune system,
the circulation,
the lymphatic system,
the excretory system,
the reproductive system,
the respiratary system
and the digestion.
Reflexology
is such a wonderful holistic, healing treatment. Over my two and a half years of Reflexology work I am constantly amazed at how the body and it's health is mirrored in the foot. Also, in regards to the grounding and calming effect that it has on people. You have to experience it to believe it for yourself. Children love it as well, it both relaxes them and is good for their health and wellbeing.
First I soak the feet in a foot spa with epsom salts and aromatherapy oils while you enjoy a refreshment such as a herbal tea. Then I do a foot warm up and work all the reflex points of the feet and I finish with some relaxing and energising meridian work the Brazilian Toe Hold (some people sleep with this technique and others feel energy or a "sensation" in different parts of the bodies, such as in their hands, legs, on their head or face etc), and the Still Point ankle hold, for assessing a person's energy levels and for relaxation. A lovely way to end a session. You won't want to get up!
Many clients fall asleep and experience a deep sense of relaxation from a reflexology session. As there are 6200 nerves in the feet, 26 bones in each feet and numerous ligaments. That is why most clients just can't stay awake and have to at least close their eyes. Snooring is not unusual.
I enjoy offering an angel card/s at the end of a reflexology session and sometimes after a massage. The law of attraction often gives a very relevant message. Doreen's cards are beautiful with lovely positive messages. I love the metaphysical nature of Reflexology. When I end a session I love to do energy work to promote balance, wellbeing and stillness. I call numerous angels by name and also allow angel names to come to me. I ask the angels to support my client in the session, their healing and with their life. I ask the angels if they have a message for my client. On occasions I have been given a picture or a few words to pass on to my client. I have felt angels around me and my client.
Reflexology for children
Ages 8 to 80. They love it and it's good for their health as well.
Great for stomach e.g constipation and breathing problems and cranky kids. As it is very calming and nurturing.
Vertical Reflex Therapy or VRT
Another form of reflexology is Vertical Reflex Therapy which is a short, profound and effective treatment. This takes about 10 minutes at the start and/or finish of a treatment. The feet are briefly treated in a standing, weight-bearing position.
VRT can benefit orthopaedic conditions such as sore shoulders, hips, necks, backs etc as well as other health conditions. The treatment is short and may be combined with a traditional reflexology session or can exist as a treatment in itself. Duration about 10- 15 minutes. Hand reflexology can be used with VRT to compliment the treatment and you can learn some hand reflexology to take home with you.
