You may decide that you only need a simple neck and shoulder massage or you may prefer a more comprehensive treatment session. Perhaps you would like to have a massage during your lunch break or just after work.  Your treatment session may include some massage, reflexology and Reiki. Simply choose a treatment time that's suitable for you - 30 minutes or 1 hour - then relax and enjoy! 

Below is some information that may help you decide which therapy is for you. 

Massage and Aromatherapy

Touch is an important component of good health for everyone - regardless of age.  These days massage isn't just for feeling good - it's a holistic therapy that reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion and increases endorphins - the body's natural pain killers.  Massage has beneficial effects on both body and mind. 

Aromatherapy - is the use of natural plant oils for their healing, cleansing and mood-enhancing properties.  The art of aromatherapy affects the most powerful of senses - smell and touch (massage) to restore harmony to mind and body. 

Massage and aromatherapy can help:

• aid relaxation and reduce stress
• improve blood and lymph circulation
• boost the immune system (helping to fight infection)
• relax and reduce muscle tension
• relieve muscle and joint pain
• help increase energy levels and promote a feeling of well-being.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a traditional healing method.  It is based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all parts of the body.  The purpose of a reflexology treatment is to release congestion, promote the flow of energy and promote well-being. Reflexology is carried out using gentle pressure using the thumb and fingers to specific points on the feet or hands. 

Reflexology is a non-invasive treatment for the whole person, it reduces stress by generating deep, tranquil relaxation and in doing so it provides many benefits:

• improves circulation
• cleanses the body of toxins and impurities
• it is preventative heatlh care
• revitalises energy
• balances the whole system
• promotes deep relaxation.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word which simply means Universal Life Energy.  The Japanese call this energy Ki.  It is also known as Chi by the Chinese, and Prana by some Asian cultures.  Many successful disciplines such as Reiki, Tai Chi, Yoga and Acupuncture have been developed to control and greatly enhance the flow of this energy. 

This universal life force flows and radiates through every cell in the living body, however this life force can be depleted, blocked or weakened by modern day lifestyles, resulting in tension, insomnia, migraine, negativity, depression and many other conditions.  When this energy or life force is allowed to flow unencumbered it fills the body with a profound sense of well-being - healing, repairing and rejuvenating as it goes.

Reiki is a simple technique for transferring this healing energy.  It is a completely safe, natural and holistic treatment which works on many levels - psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual.  Since Reiki works on each person's own energy levels it can bring about profound changes in people's lives. 

Reiki is carried out by the practitioner placing his/her hands over the fully clothed body - touch is not necessary in a Reiki treatment.  Treatment may last up to 1 hour.  Reiki works well with other therapies and has been seen to enhance the efficacy of other treatments.
