Treatments

I offer a wide variety of treatments designed to restore optimum health and well being, including Holistic massage, Deep tissue massage, Lymphatic drainage massage and Hot and Cold Stone massage as well as Indian Head massage and Reflexology.

I also offer Pregnancy massage during the 2nd and 3rd trimester, which offers relief from symptoms such as heavy legs, swollen ankles and offer a special yummy tummy massage to help reduce stretch marks. Additionally, from August I will also be able to offer Maternity Reflexology. There is a rapidly growing interest in the use of Reflexology in maternity care and there is now evidence that reflexology can be useful to aid conception and to support the woman through pregnancy and birth.

Chinese Tui Na is a therapeutic approach guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and was first used to treat paediatric disease through massage manipulations. Tui Na is a very important component of Chinese Medicine alongside acupuncture and herbal prescription. Find out more on my Tui Na page.

I team Tui Na with Cupping. This uses glass cups to draw the muscle up from the body. Cupping stimulates flow of blood, lymph and Qi (energy) to the affected area. Its uses include relieving pain in the muscles, especially back pain from stiffness or injury, or conditions like frozen shoulder, and clearing congestion in the chest, which can occur with colds, flu and conditions such as asthma. Gwyneth Paltrow is one celebrity fan of Cupping, and in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said, “It feels amazing and it’s very relaxing…I have been a big fan of Chinese medicine for a long time because it works…”
