The Healing Practice

This treatment is designed to iron out any areas of tension or knots. Depending on your concerns, it can either be an all-over massage working from head to toe, finding and releasing tension as we go, or it can be a very targeted and focused session (e.g. lower back, shoulders and neck session, or glutes and legs session). It helps to improve flexibility and release stress and tension in the muscles. Your body will feel lighter and more flexible after the treatment.

Manual techniques applied to release the fascia, particularly in the shoulders, neck and scalp. By using advanced myofascial release techniques, targeted areas that normally hold a lot of stress and tension from physical and / or emotional stress or trauma can be released. To finish the treatment, we use a soothing herbal compress to further relax worked muscles. Suitable for someone who suffers from high stress or has poor posture.

This customised treatment will work on the face,scalp, neck and shoulders by using facial acupressure techniques combined with lymphatic drainage massage. This treatment is highly relaxing and will help to reduce tension or stress. Our facial release treatment has been designed for people suffering from high stress, headaches or migraines, a tendency to clench their jaw while sleeping, someone who is a light sleeper or suffers from insomnia or has sinus issues. Acupoints for light needling may also be used to deepen the efficacy of this treatment.

This treatment uses Gua Sha techniques to gently work the skin and facial muscles by using a gentle ‘scraping’ technique to smooth and lift the face, making the face feel invigorated, radiant and smooth. Facial cosmetic needling may also be used to deepen the efficacy of this treatment. The face is an important area to work on to relieve congestion, detoxify the body systems, and stimulate the circulation via the meridians (energy channels) and increased blood flow. In addition, a head massage and stretches can be included that will stimulate the scalp and relieve tension areas at the occipital line (back edge of skull) and temporal lobes (above ears). This is a deeply relaxing treatment.

The face is an important area to work on to relieve congestion, detoxify the body systems, stimulate the circulation and tonify freshness to the complexion. Meridians (energy channels) start from the top of the head ending in the feet, making a Face & Feet treatment the ideal combination to make an effective difference to your health.

A treatment consists of small gentle moves each at a specific site on the body. There is no forceful manipulation, just light cross-fibre moves over a muscle, tendon or ligament.This cross-fibre muscle release technique stimulates and balances energy flows, resulting in a deep sense of overall relaxation. There are regular pauses between the series of gentle moves to give the body the required time to allow the body to reset and heal itself.

Hypnosis or hypnotherapy as it’s also called, albeit with some differences, goes one step further (than straight talking therapies) and helps the person to create change and understanding at a deeper level of reconstruction. Like moving with the current and allowing yourself to be carried by it rather than being stuck in a rip that short-circuits your efforts, and wears you out getting nowhere.

A woman goes inward a lot during pregnancy and the growth and wellbeing of her baby is constantly on her mind. A real ‘navel-gazing’ occurs about the what if’s, the what might’s and what will the future be like questions. This internal questioning is a natural state of affairs, but for some women, it can provoke higher levels of anxiety, turmoil and self-doubt. It’s normal and natural to have conflicting thoughts of motherhood, let alone of pregnancy, labour and the birth process. For some women though, it’s a continuing struggle to hold onto their daily reality and reconcile the conflict of their anxious thoughts. It is at these times that pregnancy counselling can be a helpful option, to settle any distress or concerns that you may be having, and to undo thinking that you are causing your baby harm with your ‘thoughts’.

Holistic Counselling is an interpersonal or humanistic approach with broader overlays of other counselling models, such as existentialism, gestalt, and mindfulness approaches that serve to influence how best to support a person’s discovery of self. It underpins a body of thinking that presupposes for the most part, that we are our own best ‘healers’ in body and mind, albeit there will be times when we will struggle to adhere to that viewpoint or ‘lose our way’.
