Why choose massage?
Massage is an ancient therapy that has been used for thousands of years to heal and bring comfort to body, mind and spirit. Descriptions of Massage techniques have even been discovered in China which date back as far as 3000 BC! At the Treatment Room I offer you a variety of relaxing and restorative forms of Massage - fragrant and relaxing Aromatherapy Massage, plus Hot Stone Massage for those times when your body needs an even deeper treatment. I also offer Pre-Natal Massage to Expectant Mothers from their second trimester onwards. Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful way of relieving all those aches and pains caused by the miraculous changes occurring in the body at this special time in a Woman’s Life. My most recent addition to the Massage Menu is a totally unique Aroma Sound Healing Massage which incorporates Sound Healing in the form of ancient Himalayan Singing Bowls which I use both on and around the body to generate the most profound sense of peace and release. The awakening of both your olfactory and auditory senses within this treatments creates a totally unique sensorial experience which transports you to a magical place far away from your every day reality.
The experience of massage at my Treatment Room runs much deeper than just pampering yourself, since having a massage is widely acknowledged as a great tool for improving your overall health and well-being. In fact, if you make the decision to regularly commit to massage, it can improve many areas of your life, leading to stronger immunity, a reduction in stress and even raising self esteem by helping you foster a deeper connection with your body in a very positive way.
What to expect at your massage Treatment
Aromatherapy Massage (1.5 hours) - If you have selected an Aromatherapy Massage for your appointment, I will invite you to chose from a selection of fragrant Neal’s Yard aromatherapy blends that are expertly crafted from pure, wild-harvested and organic essential oils. Whether naturally uplifting, revitalising or deeply relaxing, there is an aromatherapy blend that’s designed to stimulate the exact mood that you desire. Your Aromatherapy massage will deliver a complete relaxation experience which treats the whole body including the face and scalp, and incorporates the stimulation of acupressure points which releases physical and emotional tensions that have become stored within the body. The Aromatherapy massage strokes follow a flowing rhythm which enhance the absorption of the precious aromatherapy blend, de-stressing both body and mind.
Sound Healing Aroma Massage (2 hours) - Massage meets Sound Healing – Experience 2 of the most uniquely relaxing hours of your life! Enjoy a totally indulgent hands-on full body aromatherapy massage with the very special addition of Sound Healing woven into your treatment to transport you to an ultra deep state of relaxation. Allow the vibrations of the Himalayan Singing Bowls to shift energy blockages and entrain your brain to an altered state of consciousness - one of the purest, deepest peace.
The Magical Himalayan Bowls are incorporated within this treatment as a massage tool so that you can feel their vibration throughout your body; and they also sing around the body in order for you to experience their unique healing resonance within your aura. Massage & Sound Healing – the perfect combination to release tension in the body and achieve a new level of peace within your body and soul.
Hot Stone Massage (1.5 hours) -If you are coming to see me for a Hot Stone Massage, you are in for such a treat! The exceptional ability of these volcanic basalt stones to store heat means that massage with the stones simply melts away tension and soothes the soul, whilst delivering the extra benefits of enhancing lymph flow, removing toxins and fortifying the immune system. A Hot Stone Massage with me will take the release of your stress and tension to the next level
Pregnancy Massage (1.5 hours) - If you are expecting a baby, I can treat you with a Pregnancy Massage from week 13 onwards. Pregnancy can put a lot of stress and strain on the body, from tense shoulders, aching back right down to swollen feet. However, each Mama To Be is unique, so during a full consultation, I will create a massage treatment that is focused on your very own needs, paying special attention to wherever you need most care with gentle gliding strokes to relieve pain, headaches, swelling & stress. A pregnancy massage will also bring you so much more than these amazing therapeutic benefits, it is also your opportunity to create time and space for your mind and soul to relax and prepare for motherhood.
At the end of your chosen massage treatment you are likely to feel extremely relaxed with a renewed sense of well-being. I will give you time o come back down to earth and bring you cool water to sip while you slowly return from your meditative dream-space back to reality.
