REIKI
Reiki is a healing energy which can be used to treat the whole person including Body, Emotions, Mind and Spirit or focus on specific problems.
It is administered by “laying on hands” over clothes and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The Reiki energy will be drawn into the area that needs healing. The Healing energy will remain in the most depleted/imbalance area.
Reiki creates many beneficial effects that include relaxation, a deep sense of peace, security, creativity and wellbeing.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement.
HOLISTIC MASSAGE
The term “Holistic” derives from the Ancient Greek word “holos,” which means “whole.” By definition, Holistic massage treats the ‘Whole Person’ – Your Body, Mind & Soul in Unison. Holistic massage is an ancient method of healing that clears the lymphatic drainage system and releases toxins from the Body, as well as relieving mental and emotional stresses & tensions, balancing the energy and contributing in maintaining a healthy body.
Holistic massage is a treatment designed to bring about a deep state of relaxation and reduce muscle tension and stress. By recognizing that illness and stress affects not only our physical but also our emotional, spiritual & mental well-being, we can allow Holistic massage to encourage the body’s natural healing abilities to come forth & balance the entire body as a whole.
It will:
• Increase relaxation
• Reduces muscular tension
• Renews energy and alertness
• Improves circulation
• Helps the body to break down toxins
The massage will include a variety of techniques using oils, manipulation of the soft tissues of the body also including joint manipulation, pressure points and healing. The techniques and pressures are adapted to the individual needs, depending on your personal choice. It is a unique massage specifically tailored to each client.
I will also look at your lifestyle and dietary choices to improve Your Life.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
Is a relaxing technique of manipulating soft tissues in the shoulders and scalp. I will use a range of different massage pressure and rhythms to stimulate the head , neck and shoulders area.
The combination of techniques used will:
• Aid the circulatory, muscular and nervous system
• Stimulates arterial circulation and increases venous and lymphatic flow
• Reduces stress and can induce a feeling of euphoria
• Free knots f muscular tension and relaxes connective tissue
• Stimulates the skin and underlying nerve endings
• Aids in the elimination of toxins and waste products
• Improves clarity and confidence
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology can reduce stress by stimulating points on the feet to help balance into our body. Meridians that flow through all of us can become blocked and can manifest into dis-ease. A wonderful and gentle therapy, yet extremely deep and powerfully transformative.
Working on these points can help to:
• Reduce stress and improve circulation
• Deep relaxation
• Balance the whole system
• Cleanse the body toxins and impurities
• Revitalize energy
• Stimulates creativity
METAMORPHIC TECHNIQUE
It is a very gentle yet deep and transformative therapy.
Traumas clearing if the person is ready to release. The practitioner uses a light, non-invasive touch on specific areas of the feet, hands and head while at the same time providing a space free from direction towards a particular outcome. In this regard, the founder, Gaston Saint-Pierre, defined the Metamorphic Technique® as simply being a practice of detachment. The practitioner does not look to address specific symptoms or problems, nor do they impose their will or seek to direct the recipient’s life in any way. An environment may then emerge in which it is acknowledged that the power and intelligence, already inherent in the person, is the best guiding factor for the unique life of the person.
We get a sense of the Metamorphic Technique® by looking at how life expresses
In the practice of the Metamorphic Technique®
Practitioners cannot predict or guarantee what will happen after a session because this depends on the uniqueness of each person’s own life. People may feel energised or relaxed or both, however practitioners have absolutely no expectation of there being any right or wrong way for people to feel after a session.
The Metamorphic Technique® is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, circumstance or life situation.
