Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy massage is a very light massage; essential oils, which are plant-based, are added to massage oil or
lotion. The vapours are inhaled and enter the body through the nose and into the limbic system, influencing
emotions, the nervous system and hormones. When inhaled, essential oil molecules transmit messages to the
limbic system, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, stress levels, and the immune
system.
No Hands Massage
Deep Touch
Nourishing Touch
Energising Touch
Transforming Touch
No Hands Massage is deep, releasing, rejuvenating and nourishing. Devised over 20 years ago by Gerry Pyves, No
Hands Massage is a therapeutic treatment described as ‘The Gentle Giant of Massage’. The technique involves no
hands and instead uses the soft surfaces of the arms. This results in a deeper, more relaxing massage compared to
conventional ones. No Hands Massage works on the physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual levels and
can be so powerful that you can feel the effects long after the session.
The massage can be a full-body treatment or work on specific areas, depending on your requirements.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is aimed at the deeper tissues of the muscles and fascia. Deep Tissue Massage uses many
Swedish Massage movements, but the pressure will be more intense. It is more of a focused massage where the
therapist concentrates on muscle tension or knots.
It is essential to drink lots of water after a Deep Tissue Massage; this will help to flush the lactic acid out of the
muscles. There is a possibility that you may feel some soreness the following day, so make sure you drink water
regularly so the body can flush the toxins from your body.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage can greatly benefit the mother and the unborn baby. Massage during pregnancy can be a magical
experience; it supports women both emotionally and physiologically during the time when their bodies are
undergoing many changes.
After your 12-week scan, pregnancy massage can be beneficial, helping with those aches and pains. You will need
consent for a pregnancy massage from your GP or Midwife.
