Swedish Massage
An Ancient Science
The Swedish Massage is the best known type of massage in the west and the foundation for sports massage, deep tissue massage and aromatherapy massage. It involves working on soft tissues of the body to ease day-to-day stresses and muscular tension and to promote relaxation.
A Swedish Massage can be slow and gentle, or vigorous and bracing depending on the clients tolerance. If you want deeper work and can tolerate more pressure to get relief from chronic muscle pain, please state that you would like a firm massage.
Aromatherapy Massage
Natural Healing
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extract to promote health and well-being. Medical grade aromatic essential oils are used to improve the heath of the body, mind and spirit. It enhances both physical and emotional health.
The essential oils used in aromatherapy treatment are chosen to improve physical and emotional well-being. The art of the aromatherapist lies in combining various essential oils in order to treat specific conditions. Each treatment will be individual and tailored to you and your needs.
Reflexology
Stimulates the body's own healing process by removing congestion and blockages
Reflexology is a non invasive therapy based on the theory that there are points on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs and systems in the body. Gentle pressure is applied to specific points of the foot to benefit the equivalent area of the body.
​
Reflexology works at a deep level and can also have an intense relaxing effect on the nervous system, helping the body and mind function more efficiently.
Hot Stone Massage
Helps to reduce tension, aches and pains using heated stones
Hot Stone massage is an extremely effective way of reducing tension, and aches and pains. The instant heat radiates deep into the muscle layers and provides a soothing, yet deep massage.
​
It begins with a traditional Swedish massage using therapeutic oils then the stones are introduced to warm and relax your muscles. This allows deeper pressure to be applied during your massage.
​
This treatment is perfect if you experience chronic muscle soreness. Along with relieving tension, hot stone massage can help to promote sleep, boost immunity and even decrease fatigue, depression and pain.

Ear Candling
Hopi Ear Candles
Traditionally made by Hopi Indians, Hopi ear candles have been used for centuries to aid the cleansing of the ear passages.
The candles we use follow ancient formulations of ingredients and are made from pure beeswax. The hollow tubes are moulded from natural linen fabric, impregnated with honey and powdered Indian medicinal herbs including: – Sage, St Johns Wort and Camomile.
The treatment of Hopi Ear Candles lasts approximately 45 minutes. It begins with the therapist placing the candle in one of the ears and allowing it to burn to a safe level. The ear candle is then removed and extinguished in water. The second ear is then treated with a new candle.
The use of candles is followed up with some pressure point massage on the face. This helps to relieve pressure and stimulates the flow of blood and lymph in the facial region.
The benefits of Hopi ear candles include:
Ear or sinus problems, including Sinusitis
Irritations in the nose – Rhinitis
Soothing effects for stress-related symptoms
Noises and ringing in the ears – Tinnitus
Build up of earwax*
Pressure regulation for conditions such as: – headaches, migraines, sinusitis and Rhinitis
Stimulation to blood and lymph flow
Stimulation of energy circulation
The only contra-indications listed for this treatment include perforated eardrums, where grommets have been inserted or allergies to any of the ingredients in the ear candles.
* Ear candles do not suck out ear wax, but can loosen the wax within the ear canal.
The Hopi ear candles we use, carry the CE label and are certified medical products class IIa, according to medical device directive 93/42/EEC.
What is Myofascial Release Massage?
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialised treatment that releases restrictions within the fascial network (connective tissue), enabling stuck, hardened and dehydrated areas to become pliable, soft, mobile and hydrated.
​
​
​
​
MFR is a hands-on, manual therapy focusing on soft tissue dysfunction, pain, tension and holding patterns. It involves gentle sustained pressure.
​
Palpations skills are used to assess the structure and function of the body, allowing the therapist to determine which techniques to use.
​
The client may or may not feel much happening, but will feel relaxed and feel "freer" or 'lighter" after a treatment.
​
Myofascial Release can also increase energy, increase breathing capacity, restore muscle function and postural alignment, relieve physical and emotional strain, it can help balance the body and promote self-healing and relaxation.
Fascia has a memory, much as muscle does. This means that MFR can create emotional releases, as when we release the fascia we can unlock memories that have been stored within the body.
"MFR increases the body's own restorative powers by improving circulation and nervous system transmission".
