Reflexology

Reflexology is the application of varying degrees of pressure to specific areas on the feet (or hands). The therapy is performed with the client lying on a massage couch, fully clothed, with only the footwear removed, while the therapist works on the “reflex points” on the toes, feet and ankles. While working on the feet the therapist stimulates more than 7,000 nerve endings which encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways. Reflexology reduces stress and induces deep relaxation, improves circulation, balances the whole system and revitalizes energy.

The therapist uses a variety of different massage strokes and techniques to manipulate the soft tissues of the body with the hands, knuckles or elbows using
a suitable massage lotion or oil. Massage therapy may also be used to help relieve stiff and tired joints, assist with the circulation and help to promote physical and mental relaxation.

Facial Rejuvenation

Facial rejuvenation is a natural facelift through massage. It is designed to be a gentle non-invasive approach to looking younger. It works primarily by freeing constrictions both within the facial muscles and in the connective tissue.
Tension can build up within our facial muscles from the pressures of everyday life without us realising it. It can be easy for certain thoughts and emotions to become habitual, locking themselves into expressions on our faces. Under such conditions muscles can actually “dry up” and contract. This can encourage ageing and the formation of wrinkles as the face loses its muscle tone and elasticity and begins to sag.
