Massage and Healing

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

This treatment has developed from the traditional Indian system of medicine known as Ayurveda. The client remains seated for this treatment, with a towel around the upper chest. The treatment includes a range of massage strokes on the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, head & face. It is an ideal treatment for people who are more comfortable in a seated position (older clients, limited physical ability, pregnant women) or whose main areas of tension are in the upper body & head. It is a slightly shorter treatment than a full body massage but no less effective in improving circulation and energy flow to these areas. This improves the flexibility & mobility. There is a reduction in blood pressure, mental fatigue, pain, anxiety & tension headaches. Concentration and immunity improves and the treatment can help to regulate periods. Clients can opt whether to have oils used in the hair or not.

An initial treatment, including consultation lasts up to one hour. Follow ups about 45mins. Clients may also be given a few yoga techniques to practice to help their condition. Some clients opt to have a one-to-one yoga session & finish with an Indian Head Massage.

FULL BODY MASSAGE

This treatment incorporates acupressure, reflexology, neuro-muscular and Reiki techniques. It can help a variety of conditions and is very successful in improving sleep, PMS, arthritis, hypertension, nervous conditions, muscular pain & tension, digestive ailments and more. It improves respiration & circulation, indeed all body systems benefit from this treatment.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

This treatment is very popular. Pregnancy can be a time in a woman's life when various "ailments" arise-such as poor sleep patterns, cramp, blood pressure changes, heartburn, sciatica, anxiety & fear, to name a few! Some women are fortunate enough not to experience much in the way of ailments and instead relish the opportunity to let go & enjoy some "me" time. It incorporates all the techniques used for a regular full body massage and lots of supports are used during the treatment to ensure that the client is at her most comfortable. Each consultation also gives the client an opportunity to express herself in a supportive environment and because of Bernadette's wide and lengthy experience as a pregnancy yoga teacher she can offer techniques to help alleviate most conditions or to advise about diet, lifestyle, etc.

REIKI

Reiki (pronounced Ray-kee) is translated as universal life force and is an ancient healing system, which is said to have originated in Tibet several thousand years ago. It became known in the West in the 1940's.

The client remains fully clothed for treatment and can either be seated or lying. The treatment involves using a range of hand positions either on or just above the body in order to promote healing on every level. The energy will flow wherever it is needed most. It is a very effective system and most clients tend to enter a state of deep relaxation.
