Our complementary therapy treatments:
Massage Treatments
Soft tissues of the body are kneaded, rubbed, tapped, and stroked. Massage therapy may help people relax, relieve stress and pain, lower blood pressure, and improve circulation. It also helps promote relaxation. Massage therapy targets the source of the body’s pain by eliminating tense muscles, increasing flexibility and further relaxation to the affected muscles as well as the body as a whole.
Treatment duration: 25 mins or 50 mins
Reflexology
A technique that applies gentle pressure to your feet or hands. Reflexology is the calm and soothing massage of the pressure points of the feet. Its basic principle is that the pressure points of the feet correspond to different organs and that through the feet the entire body can be balanced and harmonised. Working in a similar way to acupressure and acupuncture, it aims to bring about a state of relaxation and help the body’s own healing process.

Reiki
An energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing, people use Reiki to decrease pain, ease muscle tension, speed healing and improve sleep.
Treatment duration: 50 mins
Crystal Healing
In Complementary Therapy, the word ‘healing’ refers to the gentle use of positive energy.
Crystal healing is a holistic, non-invasive, vibrational energy-based system of healing. The technique uses precisely placed crystals either on and/or around the physical body while the client is laid comfortably on the therapy bed. Crystals may also be laid in precise geometric patterns (grids) within the environment.
Treatment duration: 50 mins
Clincial Hypnotherapy
The experience of hypnosis is neither asleep nor awake and a little like daydreaming, with a pleasant feeling of deep relaxation behind it all.
Hypnosis is an effective way of making contact with our inner (unconscious) self. No person can be hypnotised against their will and even when hypnotised, a person can still reject any suggestion. Thus hypnotherapy is a state of purposeful co-operation.
Treatment duration: 90 mins
