Complementary Therapies
Foot treatment in which the therapist applies pressure to the reflex points on the foot. This can help to bring about whole body balance and relaxation.
I can also show you how you can apply reflexology to your own hands for painful neck, shoulders and back.

Shamanic healing is thought to be one of the oldest healing practices, stretching back thousands of years and linking to indigenous cultures across the globe. Shamanism is rooted in the belief that everything has an energy and that, sometimes, work needs to be done to bring things back into balance.
The shamanic practitioner sees health issues as being connected to the loss of energy, or power, and will work to balance these issues, often seeking to return lost energy and helping to return the client to wholeness.
During the session there may be the use of drums, rattles and chimes as well as 'smudging'- a method of burning herbs or incense to cleanse and bless the area. Shamanic healing can also be used alongside other treatments such as massage or reflexology.
1 hr - £45
Massage to back, neck, shoulders and head. Incorporating massage and acupressure to face and scalp. Can be offered with or without essential oils.

A Crystal Healing treatment is carried out lying down in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing. The Crystals specific to your needs are then placed around or on your body.
The practitioner will then work with the energy of the crystal to assist healing and change. Treatments are also deeply relaxing, ease stress, and have a calming effect.

Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient therapy known to be over 4000 years old. There is pictorial evidence in the tomb of Ankhmahor, an Egyptian physician showing a reflexology treatment in progress. The Chinese are also known to have used reflexology in conjunction with acupuncture.
Reflexology as we know it today was introduced to the West by Dr William Fitzgerald an American surgeon who conducted research into ancient Chinese healing techniques. From this he found that by applying pressure to certain parts of the body produced an anaesthetising effect on another part of the body. From this he developed Zone therapy.
His work was further developed by Joe Riley and Eunice Ingham. Eunice Ingham, known as the Mother of Reflexology, devoted over 40 years of her life to developing and advancing reflexology in the West.
Reflexology is an holistic therapy which means that when you receive a treatment your body is helped to balance itself on many levels including physically, spiritually and psychologically.
Reflexology may help the following conditions:
- Stress related conditions
- Musculoskeletal skeletal disorders
- Breathing disorders
- Headaches
- Hormonal imbalances
- Issues with Sub-fertility for both men and women.
- Digestive disorders

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of Enlightenment and a Hands on Healing art developed in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan.
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki, meaning Universal Life Force Energy. The term "Reiki" is used to describe both the energy and the Usui system of using it.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It is effective in helping many illnesses and always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy that can be used without fear of any side-effects or receive too much. It may be used with confidence alongside conventional medication or natural remedies as it acts in a complementary way.
Reiki is usually carried out either lying down or sitting, in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing. The practitioner places their hands gently, in a series of positions, on or over the body. The client's system automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed. Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases stress, and has a calming effect.
