I have been working in Holistic Therapy since the mid 1990's and offer these ancient healing treatments in my therapy room near South Molton, Devon or in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy and the therapist uses their hands to channel this energy to the recipient, enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Reiki energy goes to the deeper levels of a person's being, where many illnesses have their origin. It works wherever the recipient needs it most, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and working to create a state of balance.

Reiki is a very simple, non-intrusive and extremely powerful process. A session is usually given with the recipient lying down, fully clothed on a treatment couch. The therapist gently places their hands in various positions on, or just above the whole body. Each position is held for several minutes.

There is no pressure, making it ideal for treating the very young, the elderly, pregnant women and those recovering from surgery. You will generally feel a pleasant sensation of warmth and as the energy comes into balance, stress and tension is released and there is a deep sensation of relaxation and a feeling of well being.

Reiki is helpful in treating most conditions including stress, back pain, anxiety, depression insomnia and sciatica. It is a wonderful tonic and if you are well, it will help you stay that way.

Aromatic Reflexology Bodysystems Method of Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient healing art, which works on the principle that the feet are covered in 'reflex' areas that correspond to the parts and systems of the body. Some of the earliest pictorial evidence of reflexology, over 5000 years old, has been found in Egypt, India, China and Japan.

There are thousands of nerve endings in our feet and these connect to all parts of the body through energy pathways. The treatment involves a stimulating pressure massage all over the foot, which helps to clear these pathways and allows the body's own healing energy to flow.

Each system in the body (nervous system, digestive system etc) is treated giving me details of the anatomy and physiology I am dealing with. As a qualified Aromatherapist, I will use specially blended oils, tailor-made for you, to encourage and restore vitality, release toxins and bring an overall sense of well being.

Indian Head Massage

A massage which is both invigorating and relaxing over the neck, shoulders, upper arms, head and scalp. The recipient sits, fully clothed, in a chair and the therapist uses a variety of different movements and techniques, including deep kneading and compression massage.

Indian Head Massage is especially beneficial for treating and relieving tension, stress, anxiety, sinus problems, eyestrain, concentration and headaches. Clients often say that they feel calm yet energised.

A choice of Jojoba, Macadamia or Coconut oils can be massaged through the hair if desired.

I like to ask clients to sit quietly for about 10 to 15 minutes after the massage.

Metamorphic Technique

The Metamorphic Technique is a simple yet powerful tool which enables us to access the potential within ourselves. We all have a natural ability to connect with this potential and the technique provides a safe and relaxing space to do so. We may have patterns and limitations we wish to change, sometimes going back to time of birth and repeating throughout our lives. The practitioner acts as a catalyst, creating the environment where we can help and heal ourselves.

A light touch is used on the spinal reflexes of the feet, hands and head. There is no diagnosis, no manipulation and no contra-indications. Metamorphic Technique can be carried out on anyone, including children and pregnant women. It is self-empowering and can work alongside any other treatment or therapy you are receiving.

The session is carried out fully clothed and will last for about one hour. You are free to decide how many sessions you would like, whenever the need is felt for change and inspiration.
