Holistic Therapies have been around for thousands of years and were commonly used in ancient Egypt, China and India for their therapeutic effects.
Holistic means Care for the whole person, mind, body and spirit. They aim to help an individual through restoring balance, thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally.
Reflexology is based on the theory that different pressures on areas of the feet correspond to the body’s systems and organs. We stimulate all these areas to improve function, restoring the body’s natural balance.
Reiki, in Japanese, means ‘Life Force Energy’. A treatment entails hands placed over chakra points whilst the therapist tunes in to this energy and allows it to flow into you. You may feel heat from their hands and experience dreams or see colours. The clearing and balancing of the chakras leaves you with a sense of peace and relaxation.
Different forms of massage are also available and can be tailored to your needs. You could add on heated basalt stonesor Chinese fire cupping to aid the improvement of muscle tension.
