HOLISTIC MASSAGE
This style of massage is the traditional western style of massage. It's also known as Swedish Massage. The techniques used here are extremely relaxing, but in addition to that can be quite invigorating depending on what you would like to achieve. We tailor all of our treatments to you, our holistic massage, like you, is individual.
AROMA MASSAGE
Using the same movements as in Holistic Massage, we have a variety of pre-blended oils that can enhance your massage to suit you. They can help you to relax, revilatise or invigorate.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep Tissue Massage is a little bit different, as you can see from the name, we work deeper into the muscle fibres to release deeply held patterns of tension. The techniques used here are progressive to slowly warm and soothe the muscle so we can work deeper without you really realising. If you do a lot of sports or physical activity, this massage is for you.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
has great benefits for the pregnant woman. With extensive body changes and extra tension in the muscular skeletal sytem, caused by hormones and a shift in your centre of gravity, having a massage can be a real life saver. Pillows and supports are used to ensure that you are lying in a comfortable side-lying position. Massage during pregnancy can reduce peripheral swelling, help to prevent insomnia, reduce muscle cramps and back pain, and soothe the nervous system. During labour, massage is an effective pain relief tool.
PARTNER PREPARED! - LABOUR PREPARATION
If you want to earn brownie points forever with your partner, you'll need to take this massage class. We will teach birth partners how to massage to ease labour pains during the first transistion of labour. These effective massage techniques have been clinically proven to reduce the amount of drugs needed during labour and help with the management of pain. The session is for both mother and birth partner.
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology involves a pressure technique using the thumbs and fingers on the reflex areas found in the feet. Reflexology is extremely effective and is based on the principle that reflexes in the feet correspond to each organ and structure in the body, and are linked to those organs by energy channels, zones or meridians. When illness occurs in the body, the corresponding energy channels become blocked, and Reflexology is applied to clear these blockages, allowing the energy to flow freely again, so restoring the body’s natural balance and therefore good health.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
Indian Head Massage includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face and ears. It is based on the traditional form of Champi (head massage) practised in India for over 1,000 years. It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy. The massage is safe and very effective to give, without the need to undress or use oils. It can provide relief from aches and pains, stress symptoms, insomnia, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and rebalance your energy flow which gives you a deep sense of peace, calm and tranquillity.
CHAIR (ON-SITE) MASSAGE
Chair massage is a revitalising acupressure massage adapted from traditional Japanese Amma, which is closely related to Shiatsu. We don’t use any oils, which is why the massage is received fully clothed while sitting in a specially designed chair. This massage includes the back, shoulders, neck, arms, hands and head – targeting all the areas most susceptible to tension and affected by long hours at a desk or computer.
