I provide massage, facial skin care therapies and work as a fully qualified Ayurveda Health Consultant.

*MASSAGE THERAPY*
Massage has many benefits and is often chosen for deep relaxation. However, massage offers many other benefits which include:
• easing stiffness and increasing flexibility
• improving the circulation of blood and removing toxins from the
body
• removing aches and pains
• aiding breathing through relaxation
• making you feel vibrant and energetic -
enhancing the feeling of overall well-being
• promotes feelings of calmness and
reduces anxiety levels
*What to expect at your first visit*
The first therapy will consist of a free consultation when a medical and overall history of your needs will be taken. If you have a medical condition that is complex, we may need to consult your GP to ensure they are in agreement before your chosen therapy can be carried out. Once the chosen therapy is carried out and completed you will be given time to enjoy the treatment and leave feeling relaxed and restored.
*After-care*
Following the completion of your chosen massage, advice and after-care information will be given to ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your therapy.
*Massage for Relaxation and Well-being*
Massage actually speeds up the natural healing process by creating a calming of the mind and settling of emotions; aiding healing and modern day stresses (including sitting exams) that cause backache, headaches and migraines, constipation, fluid retention (swollen ankles and legs), lack of energy, poor skin tone, emotional distress and feelings of fear, anger and frustration.
*Massage for Illness*
Healthcare systems throughout the world recognise that massage can play an important role in treating illness. In particular, holistic therapies that include massage have been of significant help; especially in connection with disease caused by personal stresses and associated with modern day living, that cause discomfort and personal distress. Regular massage has proven benefits in supporting the well-being in those persons suffering from asthma and related breathing difficulties through the use of specific massage techniques.
*Massage and Older Age*
Massage is particularly valuable as a therapy for problems that are associated with rising age. Reduced mobility, arthritis, poor circulation, aches, pains and stiffness all benefit from a massage therapy. Regular massage provides the toning and relaxing benefits which will enable older adults to continue their active interests more comfortably and confidently. Massage in older age is comforting and reassuring for those persons who have become isolated through loss of relationships. Hand massage is a particularly soothing therapy for an older person and those suffering with memory loss and dementia.
*Massage for Injury*
Massage has now become established as an effective therapy for sports persons and dancers. Regular massage helps to reduce muscle tightness and soreness after strenuous activity and restore the muscle group. Those person’s involved in manual and physical work find massage useful in easing tightness and aches and pains. A personalised massage therapy plan is always assessed prior to being carried out to ensure the most effective massage therapies are offered to support individual needs.
