Treatments: Holistic Therapies |
Reflexology (60 minutes, £35)
Our reflexology treatment works on the feet to help heal and balance the whole person. Our feet have several reflex areas that form a map of the body and so reflexology offers a means of treating the whole body, allowing not only symptoms to be treated but also the causes of symptoms. Applying pressure to the reflex points on the feet improves blood circulation, relaxes the body and balances organs and glands. Reflexology is a gentle therapy that encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.

Chakra Balancing and Reiki Therapy (60 minutes, £30)
The body contains many centres of energy, known as Chakras, which help us to process the universal energies that are around and within us. We have seven major energy centres that correlate with our physical body and also our mental, emotional and spiritual state. When the Chakras are ‘open’ and aligned, energy can flow freely through them, and balancing them enables a more even flow of energy around the body, leading to harmony and peace.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy that is all around us. Reiki therapy is a gentle healing technique that treats the person as a whole, bringing about a balance and harmony between your body, mind, emotions and spirit, balancing the Chakras. Reiki is a high vibrating energy that is channelled into your body through the therapist who gently places her hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions that cover the whole body. Reiki is wonderful at promoting natural self-healing, treating symptoms and causes of illness, relieving pain, enhancing personal awareness, aiding positive thinking and reducing stress.

Hopi Ear Candles (45 minutes, £30)
Hopi ear candles provide a relaxing treatment, creating a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation in the ear and head area. Ear candles work by causing a light suction action (chimney effect) and this, with the movement of the flame, creates a vibration of air in the ear candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This causes a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache and headache, ear noise, stress and nervousness. The treatment may also spontaneously cause freer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell.
