About the Business

For over 25 years I have worked full-time in stressful jobs, always conscientious, going the extra mile, working long hours and weekends too. I used to think that taking time out for myself was lazy and a complete waste of the precious little spare time I had.

How wrong I was! Eventually my body protested and made me evaluate the way I viewed life and my health. When I found out that I had Fibromyalgia (M.E.) I was devastated and my whole world turned upside down.

Initially through Tai Chi and Reiki I came to accept what had happened to me. I realised that I was responsible for my own health and well-being and that we do actually create our own reality. This insight led me to take a course in Usui Reiki Healing Level 1 and 2 so that I could help to heal myself. Through Reiki and a technique called 'Reverse Therapy' and Crystal Light Therapy I overcame the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and realised that there was something more I wanted to do with my life.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy Massage

The history of the application of essential oils to the human body goes back to at least 2000 B.C. The first evidence of the wide-ranging use of aromatic oils comes from ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks were among the first to appreciate the benefits of essential oils. However, it was around the 13th century that the use of aromatic oils reached England's shores. During the Renaissance period when the plague swept through Europe, because essential oils have antiseptic properties, those who used them were said to survive it.

Although Culpeper's Complete Herbal (1652) listed the medical properties of plants, scientific study didn't start until the 1920's. It was the French chemist Gattefosse who discovered that essential oils can be absorbed by the skin and can reach the organs through the body's circulatory systems.

Gattefosse coined the term 'Aromatherapy' but the work of Marguerite Maury in the 1950's was particularly important because she introduced the idea of Aromatherapy as a holistic treatment, customised to the unique needs of each client.

Aromatherapy aims to treat the whole person by helping to restore the harmony of body, mind and spirit. It works with the pure properties of plants, using their essential oils in a natural, complementary therapy, which can help improve both physical and emotional well-being.

You can benefit from essential oils in two main ways: either by being absorbed by the skin or through your breathing. When gently massaged into the skin the oils can have a physical effect by causing chemical changes in your body's systems. Aromatherapy is most effective in therapeutic massage (also known as Aromatherapy Massage), often using relaxing or uplifting fragrances.

Reiki Healing

Reiki Healing

Reiki (pronmounced "ray-key") is a Japanese word. 'Rei' means 'Universal wisdom' and 'Ki' means 'Life Energy. Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing re-developed over 100 years ago from ancient Buddhist teachings by Dr Mikao Usui.

Karuna is a Sanskrit word used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Zen. It is translated to mean 'Compassionate Action'. William L Rand developed the Karuna system of Reiki between 1993 and 1995. The Karuna Reiki energy works on all the energy bodies at the same time and is different to and believed to be more powerful than, Usui Reiki.

Both systems of Karuna and Usui Reiki continue to be taught by Reiki Masters passing traditions from Master to Student. There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment, the only pre-requisite is the desire to be healed.

The method of receiving a Reiki treatment is a very simple process. The client simply lies on our therapy couch and relaxes. There is no need to remove any clothing, as Reiki Healing energy will pass through anything. The therapist gently places their hands non-intrusively on the client in a sequence of positions. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. A treatment usually takes around an hour with each hand position being held for several minutes, whilst relaxing music is played in the background.

Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique. The body has the ability to heal itself and to do so complete relaxation is beneficial. Long-term imbalances in the body sometimes require several treatments to allow the body to reach the level of relaxation necessary to bring the body back into balance. Reiki energy can be experienced in different ways, sometimes as warmth, or a gentle coolness or slight tingling. Sometimes no sensation is felt at all, other than a feeling of calm, restfulness, peace and general well-being.

It is possible to heal at any level of being: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. It can even be used on animals and plants. Reiki can be given anywhere, at anytime. It is an intelligent healing energy where the practitioner is a channel through which the energy is drawn by the need or imbalance in the recipient.
