Alternative Therapies

Aromaflexology

1 hr··£50

Like Reflexology you are using the reflex points on the feet, with the additional use of a base cream blended with essential oils, amplifying the treatments effects.

The feet are first soaked in a salt foot bath, followed by a foot scrub, cooling floral waters are placed on cotton pads over the eyes, whilst the reflex points are stimulated and the foot massaged.

A Fantastic treatment for elderly clients and people less comfortable with body massage. You leave feeling like you have had a whole-body treatment, this is because the meridian lines come to the surface on feet hands and face.

Closing The Bones

2 hrs··£120

Closing the bones is a powerful post partum healing ceremony. Created to nurture the mother after her passage through giving birth and her journey into motherhood. Its a celebration, a setting of a sacred space, to create a moment of peace, stillness and reflection in the rollercoaster of emotions of new motherhood. The whole body is rocked, pulsed then bound/wrapped to 'close'. Other body areas are also swaddled/cocooned to create a physical feeling of being held. This can be done anytime from post birth (6 weeks post cesarean).

Craniosacral Therapy Children

30 mins··£35

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on method of treatment where the therapist applies very light touch to the client's body to assess and enhance its level of health.

The therapist helps the client's body heal and release areas of trauma or restriction, so improving overall physical and mental well being.

Being very gentle and non-invasive, Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for everyone including babies, children, those with acute and chronic pain, the elderly, and during pregnancy.

Designed to compliment the body's own natural healing process, Craniosacral Therpay is often used as preventative health measure.

Treatment is carried out fully dressed and in a relaxed position, usually lying on a treatment table. During treatment, you may feel mild discomfort or other sensations as the physical body adjusts. However, generally treatments involve you feeling a deep sense of relaxation and calm. Following treatments there may a temporary worsening of any symptoms from chronic health problems, but this is often part of the process of their improvement.

Fascia Release Bodywork 75 mins

1 hr 15 mins··£75

For those of you who are new to the word or concept of Fascia, Fascia is a living web of connective tissue that weaves its way throughout our bodies from a cellular level up. It is the largest tissue in the body that plays a crucial role in movement and overall function.
What is Fascia Bodywork beneficial for?
Scar work, post surgery including keyhole, restriction, physical trauma, muscular and joint pain, emotional trauma, a sense of feeling emotionally stuck or holding, bracing within the body. When we experience trauma, our body does not differentiate from physical or emotional and lays down scar tissue in both scenarios.

In a healthy state, Fascia supports our ability to move freely and be comfortable, this is when it is hydrated and free of restrictions, allowing the slip slide gliding action between all the different layers. In a less optimal state it can limit us, this is when extra collagen layers have been laid down, AKA scar tissue as a protective measure after trauma. When a scar forms it does not distinguish between a muscle, ligaments or bone, but lumps and sticks them all together, this compromises its overall global integrity and the body’s health.

Fascia Bodywork aims to unstick and release these restrictions, which allows for the uptake of fluid, hydration of the tissues, increasing mobility and function and when doing so, decreases pain. People often report noticing a softening, a relaxing sensation and expansion of tissue were previously tight and adhered.

For many clients who feel they’ve tried everything, Fascia release can provide a welcome relief from pain and discomfort.

Thai Foot Massage

1 hr··£40

Thai Foot Massage is a soothing but energising treatment that combines elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology and Chinese Massage which have been used therapeutically for more than two thousand years. Thai Foot Massage uses hands on massage, stretching and acupressure to stimulate reflex points in the feet and lower legs.

Most Asian bodywork is based on the concept that there is a system of energy lines (meridians) in the body and, if blocked, health problems can develop. Unblocking this energy flow can result in improved health. In Thailand this energy is called Sen. Thai Foot Massage stimulates and 'opens' these 'Sen' lines.

It is particularly good for energising tired feet, improving the circulation and lymph flow in the feet and lower legs, and improving flexibility. You will be left feeling relaxed, balanced and invigorated.

Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage 90 mins

1 hr 30 mins··£105

Thai herbal compress massage dates back to the 14th century, these herbal compresses are a wonderful way to combine heat therapy, herbal therapy and aromatherapy into one modality.
Steamed herbal poultices are patted, rolled, stretched, kneaded into muscles and joints; by warming the tissues first with a selection of some 10-20 therapeutic herbs, including ginger and turmeric, known for the circulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, residual tension is eased giving a boost to the body's circulation and energy levels. As the pores open allowing the herbs to deeply penetrate, ailments such as sore overworked muscles and joints are almost instantly relieved.
Great as a winter warmer, or post physical exertion. The herbs induce deep relaxation, rejuvenation and alleviate stress. The room is filled with the luxurious spa like aroma and the herbal poultices are given for home use.

Facial Rejuvenation Massage 90 mins

1 hr 30 mins··£80

This is an indulgent facial work out! It is super relaxing and rejuvenating, you will leave glowing, and your whole face is softened.

The first half of the treatment is done without oil, allowing the fingers to work more deeply the individual facial muscles, fascia, and connective tissue, thus releasing held tension.

The second half of the treatment is done with a facial oil, chosen for your skin type. A lighter, fluid, repetitive, superficial touch is applied to work with the lymph and circulation of the facial skin.

This treatment is beneficial for sinus, headaches, teeth grinding, general tension releasing. Clients often report to feeling like they have had a holistic overhaul.

We often don’t realize how much tension can be held in our faces, think of all the many tinny muscles that we use to express our feelings, around our eyes, mouth, and brow. The jaw is one of the most powerful muscles which again can hold so much tension.

The abdomen is often so overlooked in massage treatments or totally missed out, although it houses so many organs. The abdomen is considered the seat of our emotions, think of phrases like “gut feeling” “I’ve got butterflies in my stomach.” 90% of the body’s serotine is made in the gut. Serotonin main job is to help regulate our mood. 80% of your immunity is based in the gut. 80% of the gut brain axis is information going from the gut to the brain, not brain to gut! Massage of the abdomen also stimulates the Vagus nerve which provides a whole plethora of health benefits when stimulated.

A wonderful Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage by Laura. The massage was for 90 minutes and it's only when I was out that I realised that she'd over-run by an extra hour! Wow! What a treat! I don't know where the time went, it felt so quick!
Amazingly relaxing, totally pampered! I was completely in another world. Many, many thanks!

Another mind blowing treatment from Laura!

Amazingly relaxing - I left feeling soo calm, destressed and loved.

There were amazing ‘tailor made’ essential oil blends and other carefully selected spritzes and lotions.

The thoughtful meditation at the beginning of the treatment helped me forget about life and slide into relaxation.

Thank you Laura ❤️
