What is this service?

Massage is both mentally and physically relaxing helping to reduce stress and tension to promote deeper sleep and to ease aches and pains. Massage takes many different forms and can range from a full body massage, neck, back and shoulder, hand or face massage.

Reflexology is based on the principle that the whole body is reflected in miniature on the feet and hands. Using a specific pressure technique on the feet and hands it can bring about a sense of wellbeing and feeling of relaxation.

Aromatherapy uses pre blended or individually selected essential oils. These oils are extracted from flowers, plants, herbs, fruits and seeds each with their own therapeutic properties. 

Reiki is a gentle treatment that is suitable for all as there are no contraindications. The practitioner gently places their hands on or near the body and can work on the whole body or on specific body parts. It allows the body to rebalance which in turn may ease symptoms physically, mentally and emotionally.

Shiatsu is acupressure massage which treats the body and mind. Unlike with conventional massage, you remain fully clothed throughout the treatment which uses gentle stretching and pressure techniques along the body’s meridians and acupuncture points.

Breathwork is a 6-week online mindful relaxation and breathwork course where you can learn a variety of techniques to help bring calmness and peace into your everyday life.  You will learn gentle yet powerful relaxation routines you can use as a calming tool during times of stress and anxiety.

Soul Midwife offers a non-medical, holistic comfort, care and support to anyone facing end of life.  Understanding the emotional, physical and spiritual aspects that might be experienced by someone who is dying we can offer time to listen.  Soul Midwives can also give practical planning advice and support as well as gentle and simple techniques to ease anxieties.

Acupuncture aims to balance the flow of energy or life force known as chi or qi to treat a range of symptoms. Most clients notice that it promotes relaxation, and results in a feeling of improved wellbeing. An Acupuncture treatment involves very fine needles being inserted through the skin at strategic points of the body which are briefly left in position.

Aromasticks are a nasal inhaler impregnated with essential oils with particular properties to bring about a desired effect.  We can make bespoke aroma sticks for individuals to help improve sleep, manage feelings of nausea, bring about calm or with an uplifting effect. Simply twist to open, hold under your nose and take a long deep breath.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a type of acupressure; it involves tapping on meridian points on the skin surface.  The tapping is carried out by the client with the guidance of the therapist, repeating phrases of positive reinforcement.  Negative patterns and behaviour can be changed using EFT it can also be used to treat fears, phobias and pain.
