We offer a range of treatments that can help you to address stress, release tension and find calm.
Massage – Tailored to your needs, an aromatherapy massage uses essential oils made from extracts of healing herbs, plants and flowers. The combination of relaxing massage strokes and calming fragrance helps your mind to unwind and body to release tension.
Homeopathy – For deeper or more complex stress, or stress related health issues, homeopathy may be your answer. Homeopaths look to treat the root cause of disease by using highly potentised and effective natural remedies. In this way the homeopathy helps resolve long term or complex stress that may have roots in early life experiences or ongoing health challenges.
Shiatsu – Shiatsu is a bodywork therapy that aims to bring the whole person into balance – on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. The gift of shiatsu gives the therapist the ability to listen into the subtle changes in the body and energy field, weaving together deeply relaxing acupressure massage with energy work to unblock stuck or stagnant Qi energy.
Bowen Technique – Tight muscles, structural problems or pain? Bowen technique offers a gentle yet highly effective way of releasing chronic tension using a series of rolling motions over affected areas. This treatment helps the body to release stress from the muscles and tissues, in turn affecting the overall state of wellbeing and relaxation.
Reflexology – Deeply relaxing and restorative treatment. Reflexology has been described as pressure point massage or compression technique used on the feet and sometimes the hands and face. Gentle yet effective in nature, Reflexology has its roots in zone therapy, and can help release stress in a relaxing and gentle way.
Hypnotherapy – The process of being hypnotised is to be guided into a relaxed trance state in order to influence the subconcious aspect of the mind. Healing by trance state (or an altered state of awareness) is among the oldest phenomena known to man and is found, in one form or another, in virtually every culture throughout the world. Hypnotherapy can be used to explore and change the underlying causes of stress, and create new ways to relate to challenges in life.
Craniosacral Therapy – Craniosacral therapy is a safe, gentle and respectful treatment that involves making gentle contact with the cranium in the skull, as well as other areas of the body. No manipulation or force is required, and CST is especially suitable at treating stress that is linked to shock, trauma, or dissociation.
