Dermaplaning Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Dermaplaning is a super effective exfoliating treatment in which a surgical scalpel is used to gently remove any dead skin cells on the surface of your skin (along with the peach fuzz on your face). This help reduce the buildup of dead skin and microscopic hairs that can make your complexion appear dull, flaky, and can even cause breakouts due to clogged pores and hair follicles. Which is why this form of mechanical exfoliation is beneficial for maintaining an even, healthy glow.

The dermaplaning treatment should not be painful but you will experience some scraping and sensitivity depending on your personal sensitivity threshold.

30 minute treatment £30.00

60 min treatment £45 includes painless peel and soothing spafind mud maskM

Microdermabrasion

The SkinBase™ Facial microdermabrasion treatment uses a stream of non-allergenic crystals to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. Your therapist will use the handset to direct the stream of crystal over the treatment area and, where necessary, target specific zones. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the crystal and skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.

The SkinBase™ Facial is chemical free and non-invasive yet achieves amazing results revealing younger, healthier looking skin from the very first treatment. The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production as your body produces a new layer of skin.

Express treatment 30 minutes £40

Luxury treatment 50 minutes £55 – the Luxury treatment includes a relaxing mask and massage

Lash Extensions are individual lashes and last for weeks. Made to be 
identical to natural lashes the lash base is flat and the lash tip is fine and 
polished, just like real lashes.
Lash Extensions are applied directly to the client’s own 
lash, one extension to one natural lash.

This is repeated until the client has a full set of Lash Extensions creating fuller, thicker more defined lashes.

Reflexology / Shiatsu

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet.

These areas and reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems.

Millions of people around the world use Reflexology to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and sinusitis.

Book Now

Reflexology symbols are thought to be recorded on the feet of statues of the Buddha in India and later China.

The Chinese classic, the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, which was written around 1,000 BC, has a chapter on “Examining Foot Method” and is the beginning of discussions in print about the connection of life force and points and areas on the feet.

Pre Natal and pregnancy Reflexology

I would like to share information with you about this amazing therapy.  I believe its positive effects may help prepare the ground for natural fertility processes.

Shiatsu  Traditional Energy Therapy

Each session lasts approximately one hour. The first session may be slightly longer since your practitioner will make a detailed case history to develop a complete picture of your health according to the principles of oriental medicine.
The session usually takes place on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive Shiatsu in a chair if you are unable to lie down. The client stays fully clothed. Following a treatment there can be a feeling of increased vitality and you may feel invigorated yet relaxed.

Book Now

Common conditions which have been helped by Shiatsu – Back pain, headaches and migraines, whiplash and neck stiffness, joint pain and reduced mobility, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthmatic symptoms, sports injuries, depression. Shiatsu helps to relax the body, restores and balances energy, ease tension and stiffness, improve breathing, posture and
circulation.

Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. It can help in a wide range of conditions—from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health.

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent a build up of stress in our daily lives

The philosophy underlying Shiatsu is that vital energy (known as Ki iin Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians.
For many different reasons energy can stop flowing freely and this then produces a symptom.. Your Shiatsu practitioner will consider your state of health, the symptoms that you are experiencing and depending on your constitution and general energy levels will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include
gentle holding and pressing on the meridians and where appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches. As the quality of energy changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being— not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level.

GUIDELINES FOR TREATMENT

– Please bring or wear loose, warm, comfortable clothing, preferably cotton e.g. sweatshirt, tracksuit trousers and cotton socks.
– Do not eat heavily in the two hours prior to treatment.
– Do not drink alcohol before or after treatment.
– After treatment drink plenty of water to smooth the flow of changes through the system.
– If at all possible avoid strenuous or stressful activities after your session.

SHIATSU BODY WORK OUT

An exceptional, Comprehensive body workout.

Tailored to each persons special requirements the therapy session will cover a range of stretches and relaxation techniques to relax, balance and revitalize stressed or tired bodies.

I will be using traditional Do-In tapping methods to stimulate sluggish meridians and awaken energy systems and the ancient wisdom of the meridian stretching exercises to open blocked Ki energy. Thai yoga style body stretches will ease out tired muscles and release held tension leaving you feeling refreshed, relaxed and energised

Treatment may be worked on the floor on a futon, on a forward facing massage stool and on the full body massage couch. Clients are advised to wear comfortable, cotton style clothing, such as a t shirt and track suit style trousers, that are not restricting to movement.

Guidelines for treatment are as for Traditional Shiatsu as above.

Shiatsu Natural Face Lift

Natural face lift massage is a wonderful relaxing treatment that benefits your face and your whole body. A number of different massage movements are used, all of which work the skin and muscles of the face in different ways and levels, relieving tension in the muscles, smoothing away lines and bring elasticity and a healthy glow back to the skin.

The massage works on releasing deep seated tensions and freeing the layers of connective tissue so that facial muscles can relax easing restrictions and lifting up the face.

A sequence of acupressure points are stimulated during the treatment which not only stimulate the face but benefits the whole body aswell.

The lymphatic system is stimulated during the treatment which helps reduce eye bags and puffiness around jaw line, eyes look brighter and the skin looks more radiant and refreshed.

No massage oils are used so it’s suitable for those with sensitive skin.

Results can be seen after one treatment but to fully appreciate the benefits of this wonderful massage a series of six treatments at two weekly intervals is recommended. Followed thereafter, with a monthly maintenance treatment.

The Natural Face Lift Massage can help improve the appearance of your face and you may see some of the following benefits after receiving a treatment:-

  • Lessens wrinkles and habitual expression lines
  • Releases tension in surrounding muscles

what to expect during a Himalayan massage treatment

The therapist will review the clients medical history to ensure there are no contra indications before staring the massage. The client removes all their jewellery and clothing, except for underwear, before lying on the massage table where they are covered with warm towels.

The therapist will use various techniques during the masssage to achieve desired affects. For example, direct stone pressure applied to knots and tight muscles. Long sweeping strokes using the hot stones may be used to bring about deep relaxation. Kneading and rolling techniques may be incorporated to increase the circulation.  Also during the massage  specialised organic oils will be used to support the flow of the movements and therefore helping muscles to relax and revive.

Following on, a number of hot stones may be placed in particular areas of the body and left for several minutes  for maximum heat and weight impact.

Once the hot stone massage is complete and all the stones have been removed, the client may be asked to relax for a while to enhance the full effect of the treatment.

Some of the benefits of massage with Himalayan hot stones can be the promotion of deep muscle and tissue relaxation. Relaxation assists in alleviating stress.  Release of toxins from the body helps with pain relief.  Improved circulation leaves you feeling of calm and bouyant.

Some health conditions that may benefit from a hot stone massage include, muscular aches and pains, back pain; MS, arthritis; fibromyalagia; stress and anxiety; circulatory problems; insomnia and depression.

Why It’s Called Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology as opposed to energy work that is more common in Asian-style massage. Both Swedish massage and physical therapy were pioneered by a Swedish physiologist, Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839)at the University of Stockholm.

In the early 19th century he developed a system called “Medical Gymnastics” which included movements performed by a therapist. These became the known as “Swedish movements” in Europe and “the Swedish Movement Cure” when they came to the U.S. in 1858. Today it is simply known as Swedish massage, a treatment for full relaxation and rejuvenation of tired muscles.

Regular monthly treatments can really help to maintain a balanced body and assist in the prevention of many common ailments.

Tasters last for 20 min and cover mainly the back face and feet areas.

The benefits of Indian head massage

Indian head massage has been practiced in India for over a thousand years as part of everyday family life as a form of grooming. Indian head massage was brought to the west by narendra mehta in the 1970’s and the therapy was extended to include the face, ears, neck, shoulders and upper arms.
Indian head massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stress. In western culture today we spend much of our time in our heads, so this treatment can really help to calm the mind and is surprisingly deeply relaxing. Working with a firm and gentle rhythm it helps to relieve muscular discomfort and tension as well as calming the spirit and aiding relaxation, it also improves circulation in the head, enhances the senses and promotes clear thinking.

Book Now

The massage usually begins with the upper back, where a combination of deep massage and pressure points help to relax the muscles and to loosen and melt knots. Moving through the shoulders and upper arms further releases the common spots for holding stress and tension, and then working deeply into the neck where tension accumulates relieves headaches and improves cerebral spinal fluid circulation. Moving up to the scalp, techniques are used that stimulate, relax and revive the whole of the head, increasing circulation and promoting healthy hair. Finally the treatment may include a gentle face massage with techniques that help circulation, skin tone, and sinus and headache problems.

This therapy can be performed without oils with the client sitting and fully clothed, so it is ideally suited to the workplace or situations where it may not be appropriate to give a full-body hour long massage.
Indian head massage soothes away tension, leaving you relaxed, revitalised and re-energised. This is a very popular treatment, perfect for promoting a calm mind, a stress-free body and for maintaining optimum health.
