Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy Massage combines the therapeutic use of essential oils with massage. Essential oils are extracted from plant materials and can be likened to hormones. Essential oils carry many beneficial characteristics such as anti inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, and sedative properties. When blended your aromatherapist can tailor your massage treatment to support whatever your current needs. Essential oils work to support emotions as well as physiological changes within the body.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses a series of movements to ease tension in the soft tissues and revive the muscles; deeper tissue and trigger point therapy can be utilised for more stubborn areas of tension. In addition to relieving tired and weary muscles, massage can be deeply relaxing, soothing the mind as well as the body.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage like many other ancient therapies has been practised across many cultures over thousands of years often for medicinal purposes and pain relief. The treatment involves natural basalt stones been placed on the body and used to massage, deeply penetrating muscles to give relief. The cosseting warmth of the stones leaves soft tissues relaxed and you with a deep sense of calm.
Warm Bamboo Massage
Bamboo massage originated in Asia over 5000 years ago, bamboo symbolises qualities such as strength, life energy, growth and longevity. Physically the use of bamboo in various lengths and widths enables a therapist to work with deep pressure in muscles that can be more difficult to access with hands alone. The addition of warmth to this treatment brings further benefit to tension in the muscles whilst invoking relaxation.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a wonderfully gentle massage that can be enjoyed by you and your baby in utero during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Pre natal massage can help reduce anxiety, relieve muscular aches and pains, acupressure points can be used to help alleviate common symptoms such morning sickness, and mild oedema. There is evidence to suggest that the reduced stress and increased dopamine and serotonin levels triggered by massage can support a healthy birth.
