Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a holistic thearpy combining soothing massage techniques with the blending of pure essential oils.
It is often reffered to as a 'nerve tonic' and indeed this is true, for the gentle action of the massage can help calm and promote stillness in even the most hyper-active individual.

I find aromatherapy plays a huge role in restoring and balancing our internal well being. Often we feel stressed, tense, irritable, lethargic and over tired yet when we go to bed, restorative sleep seems to evade us.

Sleep is the one thing that we cannot do without.
It allows our bodies to relax and repair itself and lets our minds rest letting us start each new day feeling refreshed.
Essential oils have sedative properties and can help you drift off into a natural sleep without leaving you feeling lethargic or heavy eyed in the morning. The restoration of the mind and body is invalueable.

Essentail oils work in 2 ways:-
The chemicals in the oils find their way directly into the bloodstream and increase or boost the levels of vitaimins, minerals, proteins and acids that are naturally produced by the body.

They seek out the particular parts of the body that are deficient in someway and provide a supplementary adddition to the chemical balance in the body.

Secondary the oils trigger the bodys own immune system by locking on to particular molecules in the body and sends a signal to the immune system to produce infection figthing cells.

Aromatherpay massage is particularly benefical if you feel:-
  • tense
  • anxious
  • worried
  • have suffered a breavement
  • emotional upset
  • have PMT
  • difficulty in sleeping

Recommended are weekly treatments for a period of 4 weeks during this time you will find your body and mind become more responsive to the therapeutic touch and you will acquire a sense of overall well being.

Each treatment lasts 1hour 30 mins   costs £45

Transformational Workshops

Love Yourself Heal Your Life

Loving yourself is the key to healing your life.

When you really love, approve and accept yourself your life can blossom.

In the workshop you will learn the 9 basic points of philosophy which is the basis for all Louise Hay workshops and this is the starting point from where we build new beginnings. We look at 'inherited messages' and check out if we really do believe all 'that stuff'.

We use affirmations and visualisatiions and learn the principles for 'Ordering from the Cosmic Kitchen' written by Dr Patciria Crane.

Lastly the main topic of the workshop is learning to love ourselves and we have fanastic tips for you to follow on how to love yourself as this is ailen to most of us and perhaps wasnt encouraged.

We also do the mirror work that was popularised by Lousie Hay.

'We want to know what is going on inside of us, so we can know what to let go of. Instead of hiding our pain, we can release it totally'.

Things to ponder on...........

  • Feelings are our inner gauge
  • Resentment causes a variety of ills
  • Guilt makes us feel inferior
  • Resentment is anger stuffed down
  • Suppressed feelings lead to depression
  • Fear is not having trust

So if you are willing to change and if you are interested in personal/spiritual growth and are interested in Louise Hays work this is what you can obtain

  • you can release your anger in a positive way
  • stop all criticism
  • treat doubt as a friendly reminder
  • reprogramme the sub-conscious mind
  • believe you deserve good
  • believe affirmations do work
  • change your self-talk
  • understand your pain
  • learn to order from the cosmic kitchen
  • know that forgiveness is the key to freedom
  • heal your past hurts
  • communicate with your inner child

'We are far more than our bodies and personalties. The inner spirit is always beautiful and loveable, no matter how our outer appearances may change.'

D-Tox via the Feet

Your body detox's every day naturally by eliminating or neutralising toxins via the:-
  • colon
  • liver
  • kidneys
  • lungs
  • lymph
  • skin

Due to our environment and food combined with little or no water intake our body systems and organs like the skin are now completely overloaded so that many unwanted substance remain in our tissue.

You are more likely to have an overload of toxins if your regularly:-

  • smoke
  • drink excess alcohol
  • eat junk/processed food
  • drink excess amounts of coffee/tea/fizzy/caffeine drinks
  • come into contact with chemicals/pollutants through your work
  • come into contact with large numbers of ill people
  • lead an inactive lifestyle
  • have problem skin
  • suffer from bloating

Foot D-Tox helps in the elmination of the build up of these problems by re-stabilising the cells so that the normal physiological functions run at the optium levels.

Your experiences always reflect your inner beliefs

Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if we could live our lives without ever being criticised by anyone?

We would feel totally at ease, totally comfortable.
Every morning would be a wondeful new day because everyone would love you and accept you and nobody would criticize you or put you down.

You can give this happiness to yourself by becoming more accepting of the things that make you unique and special.

The experience of living with yourself can be the most wonderful experience imagineable.

You can wake up in the morning and feel the joy of spending another day with yourself.

When you love who you are, you automatically bring out the best in you.

You will find more positive ways to fulfill your needs and more positive ways to express more of who you really are.
Lousie L Hay

Your experiences always reflect your inner beliefs.
If negative experiences are presenting themselves to you it is a great opportunity to determine what your beliefs are.

Everything in our lives is a mirror of who we are.

The subconscious body resides in the solar plexus. This is where we carry those 'gut feelings'. When something happens we immediatley get a strong feeling in the gut.

Since we were little children every message we have ever heard, everything we have ever done and all the experiences we have had and all that we have said, have gone into the 'filing cabinet' that is our solar plexus.

If something is happening out there and it is not comfortable, it is an opportunity to determine what your beliefs are.

Today is an new day and only you can change the way you think, the way you feel and the way you act. You are you own power.

All too often we give our power away to other peoples idea of whats right or wrong.

Stop now and consider where and to whom do you give your power away to? Whose opinion do you adhere to and whose approval is it you seek?

Starting to resist now? Feeling agiatated? Good.
Resistance is the first step to change. Most of us want our lives to change but not so keen on having to make the changes.

Remember only you can change the way you think, the way you feel and the way you act.
You are your own power.

Our solar plexus is our store house of power and the Tigers Eye is the crystal you may find helpful. You can carry it on your person or meditate and feel the energy that it radiates.

The Tigers Eye crystal is known as the 'confidence stone'. It inspires brave but sensible behaviour. It is also used to aid the digestive system. A sluggish digestive system may indicate that you are holding on to past hurts and old buried guk.

You can purchase your tigers eye crystal which comes complete with instructions on how to cleanse you crystal, a colour print of the 7 main crystals used in chakra balancing and a complete guide to colour affirmations that take you through your chakra balancing routine.
All of this for £6 (includes P&P)

Chakra Balancing

Chakra balancing is a shorter version of Reiki being a 30min treatment instead of 1 hour. The aim is to re-balance the 7 main chakras in the body, first having determined which chakra/s are out of balance.

A chakra is an energy system that is constantly receiving and transmitting energy. During your treatment re-balancing will be promoted by using colour and crystal therapy alongside traditional hands on healing. Both crystals and colours have their own unique enegy frequency which help to re-balance the chakras. Each colour and crystal is selected and placed in the correponding chakra.

Peace follows.

Imbalances can cause much disruption in the body, from feeling a loss of energy, suffering from low moods, being overly emotional and being physically unwell. There are many different causes for imbalances with the main factors being mental, emotional and physical stress, trauma and major upsets, over activity, little or no relaxation, fatigue and past or present hutrs.

Chakra balancing or indeed Reiki has a beautiful calming restorative effect on the body and indeed the mind, which can be felt almost immediatley. There is a feeling of being enveloped in warmth, security and protection followed by a period of deep relaxation or perhaps sleep.

These treatments can be used to help restore harmony within and are also used as a means of relaxation prior to learning meditation. They are often received by many people who have embarked upon their 'spiritual journey' and who seek the quiet time to 'go within'.

It is a treament that is suitable for everyone whatever their reason for having it and often you can be 'prompted' to have this type of healing treatment without knowing the reason why you are drawn to it. You are simply acknowledging your intuition, your inner wisdom.

I listen, I trust, I take guided action. I trust.

As a Reiki Master/Teacher I offer Level 1& 2 Reiki initations for anyone wishing to carry out self healing through this Japanese system of self healing. Level 1 is for personal work and personal development on yourself and preparation for Level 2 where as on Level 2 you may under take to offer these treaments to family, friends or clients, animals and nature.

Loving ourselves and loving others are the most important tasks we have on this planet. Louise L Hay.

There is so much love in your heart that you could heal the entire planet. But just for now let us use this love to heal you. Lousie L Hay.

Expereince for yourself Chakra Balancing, Reiki or go a step further and be inititated in the Japanese system of healing.

New Thai Foot & Leg Masssage

This is a fanastic treatment that works on the reflexes on the soles of the feet. These are the same reflexes that are worked on during a reflexology treatment, while also working the 'zen' lines along the legs to unblock accumulated congestion.

This thai foot & leg massage involves hands on stretching, along with deep tissue work on the strong calf muscles and accupressure on the reflex points with the 'thai' stick along with passive yoga techniques that improves flexibility and reduces muscle stiffeness.

Benefits

  • Imroves circulation
  • Promotes lympathic activity
  • Reduces muscle stiffness
  • Improves flexibility
  • Reduces muscle tension & muscle fatigue
  • Drains fluid from ankles and legs
  • Promotes a great feeling of well being

The test of having this treatment is in the feeling of lighteness in the feet and legs after your 1 hour session. It is an absoutle must for those with a sedentary occupation to promote circulation and help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis as the calf muscle, on useage acts as a strong pump squeezing the arteries and veins thus returning the blood back to the heart to be re-oxgyenated before being re-circulated through the body.

It is ideal also for people undertaking sporting activity of any kind, who over use these muscles with strenous activity and exercise with insufficient stretching, warming up or cooling down.

I have seen this treatment soften the shape of the calf muscle that has been over worked particulary on females who dont desire such an aggressively shaped calf muscle and again a huge benefit for people who spend long periods of time in high heels straining both their skeletal system and their muscular system therefore putting un-neccessary strain on these areas and comprising their posture and their health.

A great way to detect this at home is to become aware of any difficulty you find when transfering from 'heels' to 'flats' and or suffer from lower back tension, calf strain or an inability to keep on the 'flats' on a particular foot.
