About me
Hello, and welcome to my profile. I am an experienced and qualified holistic therapist, and have been working for many years with a number of therapies, that can help ease a wide variety of conditions.
It is my belief that body and mind work together to create harmony both inside and out, and I therefore always look at the emotional aspect of any presenting physical problem in order to offer the most effective soothing and healing treatment that I can. I can also offer a more in depth look at emotional issues, please see my listing at www.counselling-directory.org.uk
Therapies I Offer
Holistic Massage:
Holistic massage is a therapeutic application of touch that can benefit individuals, body, mind, soul & spirit at the same time. While loosening tight muscles, this technique may also help to encourage lymphatic drainage, improve skin elasticity, boost the immune system and increase mental clarity.
...promoting a deep sense of relaxation...
Aromatherapy Massage:
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from aromatic plants and flowers to create balance and harmony, enabling the body to heal itself and bring about a feeling of well being. Aromatherapy massage can be wonderfully soothing, relaxing, uplifting or energising depending on which oils are used.
...balance & harmony of mind and body...
Reflexology:
Reflexology aims to release tension and direct the free flow of energy throughout the body to bring about self healing and normalise the functions of the body. Every organ, structure and system of the body is mirrored in the feet and hands through reflex points. These different reflexes of the feet and hands are connected to the body through energetic channels or zones, which can easily become blocked through stress, emotions, trauma or illness. Reflexology applies a gentle pressure which stimulates these reflexes, encouraging energy flow and unblocking and thus promoting self healing and well being.
...steps to healing....
Indian Head Massage:
Indian head massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stress. It has been practiced in India for over a thousand years as part of everyday life. This treatment can help calm the mind and is deeply relaxing. A firm and gentle rhythm is used to help relieve muscular discomfort, improving circulation to the head, it calms the spirit, enhances the senses and promotes clear thinking.
...relax, re vitalize and re energize....
Counselling:
Setting aside the time and money to go and talk to a skilled listener can be invaluable. With the therapist that's right for you, counselling sessions can be a way to stop, reassess your life and current difficulties and give yourself a much needed focus on a regular basis. Counselling helps people to look at their lives differently and to begin to effect change.
"Asking for help doesn't mean that we are weak or incompetent, it usually indicates an advanced level of honesty and intelligence" (Anne Wilson Schaef)
