PRACTITIONERS
Saturday Massage Therapies
AROMATHERAPY: promotes relaxation and wellbeing through the use of pure essential oils. These oils are concentrated extracts of plants and fruit, each prized for their therapeutic properties. The massage is based on Swedish massage techniques, but the massage is slowed down, and strokes are usually slower and lighter. After initial consultation a blend of essential oils is created by the practitioner (specific to the client’s needs) and used in the massage. A small amount of plant/fruit extracts is absorbed through the pores of the skin, but the majority of the effect comes from inhalation of the vapour.

AYURVEDIC PREGNANCY MASSAGE: 07778 667 247 (Sarah Ramiah)
DEEP TISSUE: focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue aiming to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia. Working a specific joint, muscle or muscle group, the practitioner can access deeper layers of the soft tissue. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. The purpose of deep tissue massage is to “unstick” the fibres of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, this generally will last no more than a day or two and after this initial soreness the whole area will feel better, more mobile and comfortable than before. 07921 086 745 (Simone)
HOT STONES MASSAGE: 07778 667 247 (Sarah Ramiah)
INDIAN HEAD: works on both a physical and a mental level, supporting the nervous system by alleviating stress. By concentrating on major muscle group areas where stress and tension is most often felt (i.e. shoulders and neck), the whole body can be de-stressed. It utilises a variety of stimulating and tension-releasing techniques which assist some specific body systems directly and affects all body systems indirectly. For example, stimulation of the lymphatic system encourages the elimination of toxins, cleansing and purifying the body more efficiently. A good Indian Head Massage can leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed and re-energised. 07921 086 745 (Simone)
PREGNANCY MASSAGE: relaxes tense muscles, eases sore spots, improves circulation and mobility and is tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies. Carrying a baby changes the centre of gravity and puts a lot of stress on back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes ligaments, so that pelvic joints are less stable, which can change posture, pulling the pelvis forward which can lead to back pain or discomfort. 07921 086 745 (Simone)
