My special interest is in lymph drainage therapy which has taken me overseas to study at The Upledger Institute, U.S.A. with Dr. Bruno Chikly.

Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage is a firm massage style useful in treating musculoskeletal problems and is commonly used for relieving muscular tension. Alternatively this therapy can be combined with relaxation massage to beat everyday stress.
Lymph Drainage Therapy
The major function of lymph drainage therapy is to assist the lymph fluid to flow freely through the body draining stagnant fluid where toxins can accumulate inhibiting optimal health on a cellular level. Lymph drainage therapy acts as a deep cleansing treatment: detoxifying tissues, regenerating cells and improving circulation. Lymph Drainage Therapy is a gentle whole body treatment that helps stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems and activates fluid circulation. This special technique stimulates a sluggish immune system, enhances immunity and reduces fluid retention. See my website for more information. A shorter session focusing on the face and head is a great introduction to this specialised therapy.
Why have lymph drainage therapy?
This is an excellent treatment when undergoing a detoxification program or if you are experiencing recurring infections, fluid retention (as in pregnancy), sinusitis or recovering from an injury or preparing for surgery. Also, the soothing rhythm of this special technique has a calming effect on the nervous system, excellent for deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress and loss of vitality. Other conditions which respond well to this type of therapy are rheumatoid arthritis and lymphoedema a condition in which the lymphatic system is not functioning efficiently resulting in an extreme accumulation of fluid.
Your practitioner’s qualifications
Lymph drainage therapy is a specialised technique which requires further training focusing solely on the lymphatic system. As with any subject there are many levels of training. This specialised technique is often performed in hospitals by physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nurses and is commonly used in Europe. I have completed advanced training and I teach lymph drainage therapy.

Hot stone massage therapy
Hot Stone Massage Therapy is the revival of a form of healing practised by ancient cultures which believed in the healing properties of heated stones to release muscular tension and soothe the mind. My technique is a hybrid of Swedish massage and traditional hot stone therapy. Warm stones are used in the therapist's hands as the body is massaged. Other stones are strategically placed to further enhance the treatment. The heat from the stones will leave you incredibly relaxed and rejuvenated.
Pregnancy massage
Pregnancy massage is offered after the first trimester. This valuable treatment enables mother and baby to relax and addresses discomfort that can occur from the physical changes taking place during pregnancy. Remedial, Swedish and Lymph Drainage techniques are all beneficial and safe throughout pregnancy and post-natally.
