Reflexology, which has its roots in ancient Egypt, works on the principle that every organ and system of the body has a corresponding point or zone in the feet.
How does it work?
A reflexology practitioner uses light pressure to massage each of the points in the toes, feet and ankles to release tension, remove energy blockages, stimulate blood circulation and promote healing of both body and mind.
What does it involve?
The client will be asked to remove their footwear and will lie on a massage couch whilst the treatment is given. Generally, most clients report that a reflexology treatment is wonderfully relaxing and soothing, and many people fall asleep. Each session will last about an hour and, in most cases, a series of sessions are necessary to resolve any problems.
What is it good for and what are the benefits?
Reflexology can be used to treat a wide range of disorders including skin and respiratory conditions, such as eczema or asthma, constipation, migraine, PMS and menopausal problems, chronic fatigue, stress, depression and anxiety or insomnia.

Reiki healing is an ancient way to activate and harmonise our natural life energy. It was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui (1865-1926) after years of researching its Indian and Tibetan origins. The Usui method of natural healing is a method of receiving and passing on Reiki energy, through laying on of hands.
This healing treatment channels energy to areas of need. Reiki is received through clothing, with you lying on a massage couch. You are left with a sense of feeling rebalanced and refreshed. During or after a Reiki treatment, you may also experience some or all of the following benefits:
Deep relaxation
Stress relief
Strengthening of the natural healing and immune system
Increase in energy and vitality
Detoxification
Release of emotional and/or energetic blockages

Seated acupressure massage (sometimes also called on-site massage) is based on the traditional Japanese acupressure technique called anma (Japanese for ‘press and rub’).
How does it work?
Unlike acupuncture, seated acupressure massage does not use needles. Instead, the therapist uses his or her hands to press the acupressure points, as well as rubbing and kneading other tight and tense muscles. The result is that muscles relax and tension is released. The amount of movement around the neck and shoulder and whole of the back is improved, along with the circulation being boosted.
What does it involve?
The client, fully dressed, sits facing forward in an ergonomically designed massage chair. As the client relaxes and rests their chin and forehead on a thickly padded platform designed for the purpose, the therapist uses their hands and fingers to apply pressure to the acupressure points on the client’s head, neck, shoulders, upper arms and spine.
What is it good for and what are the benefits?
Seated acupressure massage is excellent for relieving stress and tension. It helps with backache, repetitive strain injury, asthma, headaches, migraines, toothache, fatigue, sinus problems, menstrual pain, digestive problems, eyestrain, anxiety, irritability and insomnia.

Thai Yoga Massage |
The traditional healing massage of Thailand originated in India during the Buddha’s lifetime, over 2500 years ago. Monks in Thailand originally used this therapy as one element of their healing practices, which consisted of dietary advice, the use of herbs, meditation, and what we now call Thai massage.
How does it work?
This form of massage involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the energy lines of the body. All areas of the body are treated, from head to toe, with the aim of releasing muscle tension, improving joint mobility, boosting circulation and facilitating good health.
What does it involve?
Thai massage is carried out on a mat or thin mattress, which is laid out on the floor. The therapist uses both their hands and feet to apply pressure to the client’s fully-clothed body and to carry out a range of gentle stretching movements. It is best to wear loose, comfortable clothing and to allow at least 2 hours after a big meal, prior to the treatment or 1 hour after a light snack.
What is it good for and what are the benefits?
This form of massage is especially good for releasing stress and tension, and encouraging relaxation of both mind and body. Clients report that Thai massage is wonderfully soothing and relaxing and leaves them feeling energised, refreshed and with a deep sense of well-being. It can help with backache, knee pain, stiff joints, frozen shoulder, neck pain, headaches, digestive problems, menstrual irregularities and a range of other conditions.
