MASSAGE

Traditional massage is a hands-on therapy that manipulates soft-tissue to assist in the release of muscle tension, pain, stress and depression. It is particularly beneficial for those who feel generally depleted in body, mind or spirit and just want to unwind and relax.

I occasionally combine massage with hot stone therapy.

HOT STONE MASSAGE

Smooth, basalt stones of various sizes are heated and sanitised in fresh water to a comfortable body temperature and applied to the body to warm and release the musculature.  The warmth and smoothness of the stones increases the ability of muscles to relax and results in a powerfully uplifting and deeply healing experience.

Hot stone massage is a truly relaxating experience. 

 The Benefits:

• Relaxation on all levels of your being - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually
• Improved circulation
• Reduced stress levels
• Enhanced immune system
• Pain relief
• Heat penetrates deeply into the muscles to aid the release of toxins and waste
• Lymphatic support

I massage the back, neck, shoulders, face and scalp to promote wellbeing throughout the entire body.

 Things to know before Treatment:

• If there is any inflammation on your body I will not use hot stones over the inflamed area. 
• When working on the face, I will remove any make-up so that I can work on clear skin.  Please bring makeup to reapply after treatment, if desired.
• I will use a light massage oil during treatment. 
• As a qualified aromatherapist, and only if necessary, a herbal oil may be used to further facilitate relaxation.  If you desire this, please ask.
• I will use a hair-band to protect your hair, although inevitably, a little oil may get onto your hair.  You are welcome to bring your own hair protection, if desired.
