Relaxation or Holistic treatments benefit both mind and body. It is rare that we take an hour to stop, close our eyes and just ‘be’. An hour’s peace and quiet away from ringing phones, emails, co workers, demanding children has a definite restorative effect, it bit like taking a holiday in just an hour.
Relaxation Massage
If you’ve ever treated yourself to a massage at a Spa during a special getaway, you probably enjoyed the benefits of Swedish or Holistic relaxation massage. Tailored to your individual needs, a relaxation massage can be a full-body massage or focus on specific areas of the body where tension is centred. This type of massage involves deep pressure and a variety of intensive massage techniques to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles, whilst soothing and relaxing strokes are used promoting a sense of physical and mental well-being.
Shiro meaning mind, head and neck and Abhyanga meaning therapeutic massage, is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that originated in India over a thousand years ago and is an integral part of Indian family life.

Reiki
Reiki (pronounced “Ray” “Key”) is a safe and simple form of ancient natural “hands on” healing. Reiki is a Japanese word- Rei meaning “universal” and Ki meaning “life force or energy”.
Illness can be understood as an imbalance in a person’s life force; emotional or health problems tend to occur when the flow of energy is disrupted, weakened or blocked. Reiki works to bring about balance in the life energy bringing health and well being to the recipient.
Reiki is a fully clothed treatment with the recipient laid down in a comfortable position on a treatment couch and can work in conjunction with most other medical or therapeutic techniques and may be used when other therapies may be contra indicated or cannot be used.
