WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful, nonintrusive method of hands on healing that taps into the energy referred to as Ki or Chi. Reiki means universal life force and is based on the teachings of Dr Mikao Usui, who taught and practiced Reiki in Japan during the 1800’s and was later brought to the West by Hawayo Takata in 1935. Reiki addresses both chronic and acute conditions, promoting healing and balance among all the body systems.
The effects of Reiki vary from individual to individual but most people experience deep relaxation and may perceive a tingling or pulsing sensation and a feeling of warmth and comfort. It is possible that you'll experience powerful sensations or emotions during or after a Reiki session, thus stimulating healing at all levels of being.
Reiki is a wonderful complementary therapy with medical treatment, natural therapies and massage therapy. Medical research has shown a "highly significant reduction in pain" including cancer pain, following Reiki treatment, improved immune and nervous system functioning and increased mobility in patients with MS, lupus, fibromyalgia, as well as the reduction of use of pain medications and shorter hospital stays with pre and postsurgical Reiki sessions.
AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy massage is the art of applying powerful plant extracts known as essential oils to the body to bring about physical and emotional harmony and balance. Together with light remedial massage this is an excellent way to help release muscle tension and general stress from the body.
The hundreds of different chemicals contained in essential oils have a very complex and subtle healing effect on the human body and mind. Each essential oil has it's own individual properties and a massage oil, personally blended for your own individual needs is chosen for a specific reason which will relate to your physical and emotional well-being. Combined with a luxurious massage this enables the passage of the oils through the skin, into the bloodstream and then to circulate every organ system in the body.
Aromatherapy Massage is a truly enjoyable way of keeping stress levels low, immune systems high and emotional equilibrium.
AROMA MINI FACIAL
A relaxing Aroma Mini Facial includes gentle cleansing, toning, mild exfoliation, Aromatherapy facial massage, which is a gentle massage of the muscles and skin of the face and neck with a blend of pure carrier and essential oils, followed by a deep cleansing mask and moisturise.
This treatment uses Weleda products selected for your skin type.
Whilst the masque is applied you can also enjoy a relaxing hand and foot massage
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Massage is a wonderful way to help you relax, increase your energy and relieve discomfort during pregnancy. The caring touch of massage can help you experience the changes to your body in a positive, accepting way.
Massage can also be something special for you at a time when so much of your attention is on the baby to come.
Pregnancy massage helps loosen tight muscles, calm the nervous system, increase circulation, relieve pain in muscles and joints, increase flexibility, ease constipation, gas and heartburn, reduce excess fluid retention and slow the progress of varicose veins.
Louise may suggest ways to make you more comfortable at home and help with pillows for support when lying down.
Massage is also important during the postpartum period. It is as important to care for yourself now as it is during pregnancy. Massage can also help to nurture and comfort you whether or not you experience postpartum “blues”.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Deeply relaxing, yet effective massage techniques using trigger point and connective tissue therapy, gentle stretching and stretching advice can help to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with muscle imbalance, poor postural alignment, sports injuries, poor flexibility and general stress related tension.
The benefits of regular massage are many including:
Reduced stress levels

Blood flow stimulation, helping to remove toxins from the body

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT STRESS
Today many of us are plagued with the disease of our time known as stress. Stress in itself is not always bad for us, however, there is a fine line between natural excitement and stress. Even prolonged healthy tension can result in stress.
Stress can be one factor that impairs or threatens our health and can have a negative effect on the proper functioning of our systems. Some of the common illnesses directly related to stress include: high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, rheumatism, migraine headaches, backaches, acne, infertility, hormonal imbalances, reduced mental and physical activity and repressed immune function, which may lead to infectious diseases.
If not controlled, stress can result in a vicious cycle of depression, insomnia, exhaustion, as well as the possibility of the illnesses mention above. Often we deal with stress through avoidance behavior, excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, overeating and possibly prescription and other drug abuse.
Regular Massage, Reiki and Aromatherapy are ideal ways of helping to reduce stress whether physical or emotional. By relaxing tight muscles, massage helps bring about physical, mechanical and psychological effects to help maintain the body at optimal health
