Reflexology is a safe, holistic, non-invasive therapy involving the reflex areas in the feet, hands, face and ears.  By using a combination of pressure techniques on those reflex points, imbalances in the mind and body can be addressed and a healing response can be activated.  The body starts progressively clearing blockages, re-establishing energy flows and balancing itself, resulting in better health.

Subtle yet powerful, reflexology is becoming increasingly popular in the world of complementary therapies. Reflexology is a simple way to cope with the pressures of everyday living and bring about a balance of body, mind and emotions. Proven benefits lie in its ability to switch on the para-sympathetic nervous system – “rest and digest” and counteract the effects of stress.

Reflexology is used to assist with many conditions as well as simply maintaining good general health.

Your reflexology treatment is enhanced with a relaxing foot bath and nourishing foot balm.

Scent, as the most enduring of our senses, has the power to transform our emotions, and heal our bodies. As a holistic treatment, aromatherapy can have a profound effect on our physical and psychological well-being. 

In an aromatic relaxation massage, individual blends of essential oils are prepared in a base oil and then applied with relaxing massage techniques - we will check the type of pressure you prefer. The massage also incorporates hot stones to sooth the tension you are holding in your muscles. 

Aromatherapy is useful on any number of skin conditions; reproductive issues; respiratory infections; nervous system disorders; autoimmune diseases; digestive disorders; muscular and joint aches and pains as well as detoxification.

Facial reflexology is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that works by stimulating reflex points and zones on the face and scalp which accumulate deposits when our body systems are out of balance. These points and zones are stimulated using fingertip pressure techniques to activate the meridians and cranial nerves.
