Hello and Welcome!
I hope you enjoy my site. If you have any queries that aren't answered here, please contact me and I will respond promptly.
I have more than 15 years experience in the complementary therapy and fitness profession, and provide a professional service to clients throughout Colchester. The company is located in Stanway (Colchester).
I provide my clients with a tailored massage therapy and fitness training service and have a fully functional treatment centre. I ensure clients receive a personal and professional service at all times. The holistic treatments are intended to be relaxing and enjoyable, whilst the personal training aspect of the business aids clients in realising their goals.
I have qualified with the Federation of Holisitic Therapists, the International Institute of Health and Holistic Therapies, Fitness Professionals, and the British Wheel of Yoga.
I continue to offer various forms of massage specific to each client's requirements.
Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet that involves hands on stretching and massage, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body.
Benefits:
•Boosts the immune system and stimulates lymphatic drainage
•Improves blood circulation
•Reduces stiffness and improves mobility of the feet
•Aids relaxation and reduces stress
Hopi Ear Candling involves a specially designed hollow candle being inserted just inside the ear canal. The candle is then lit and the suction that is formed draws the impurities from within the ear. This process is known as the chimney effect. The rising air gives the ear drum a gentle massage and also helps to regulate ear pressure.
•Reduces the affect of tinnitus and glue ear
•Relieves sinus disorders
•Aids in the reduction of tension headaches
•Induces deep relaxation and promotes sleep
Massage is the kneading and stroking of the bodys soft tissues, (the skin and muscles), with varying degrees of pressures. Gentle massage affects the nervous system through nerve endings in the skin, stimulating the release of endorphins, the bodys natural feel good chemicals, to help induce relaxation and a sense of well-being.
Stronger massage stimulates blood circulation to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and helps the lymphatic system to flush away waste products. It eases tense and knotted muscles and stiff joints, improving mobility and flexibility.
Massage is perhaps the oldest and simplest of all therapies and people of all ages can benefit from regular massage. You do not have to have a specific problem to benefit from a treatment. It is an excellent way to help maintain good general health and induce a sense of well-being.
'M' Technique.Touch is one of the basic forms of communications, yet many are afraid to touch those who need it most. The 'm' technique® is a method of structured touch, where each movement and sequence is done in a set pattern and pressure. It works on skin receptors that send signals to the brain to induce relaxation and has been described as physical hypnotherapy.
Indian Head Massage has been used for thousands of years to aid healing and soothe sickness. This ancient art has been adapted to help treat the stresses and strains of modern-day life. It is a safe, simple and effective therapy that uses a series of massage strokes to treat the areas most vulnerable to stress namely the upper back, shoulders, head and neck.
The application of these techniques promotes hair growth, soothes away tension, re-balances energy flow and clears any areas of negativity, thus instilling a sense of relaxation, calmness and well-being as well as providing relief from aches and pains.
Whatever your goal may be, whether you are looking to lose a few pounds or run the London marathon, I can provide a professional personal training service. Your workout can be indoors, outdoors, at the gym, home, or work place. Your goals will be plotted over a number of weeks and we will work together to achieve them. Dietary advice is also offered.
As your training progresses, you will gradually become fitter, stronger and healthier, and you will feel an improved sense of well-being and acquire better posture and flexibility.
