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.

Therapeutic Massage
Massage therapy is designed to stretch and loosen the tissues helping to relieve stiff or tired muscles and joints. For many people, the neck and shoulders are common areas of soreness and tension. Working at a desk or a computer all day is often a cause of such problems.
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.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy treatments have both physiological and psychological effects.
The combination of massage and the medicinal and therapeutic qualities of the essential oils (molecules both inhaled [aroma] and absorbed through the skin) can soothe, revitalise, uplift the spirit, encourage positive thinking and boost the immune system enabling the body to heal itself.
Due to the diversity of essential oils and their individual therapeutic properties,
the range of benefits and effects of Aromatherapy is wide ranging.

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.
