Reflexology has its origins in the ancient civilisations of China and Egypt. Studies by Eunice Ingham in the 1930’s developed a technique known as “the Ingham method of compression massage” and she referred to it as “reflexology”

Massage

Swedish massage developed in the 1800’s is defined as the manipulation of soft body tissue for therapeutic purposes. Skilful, well-schooled hands produce amazing effects, taking into account the client’s wishes, expectations and condition. Every massage is tailored to the client’s requirements. A stimulating massage has physical effects on the body and also psychological effects on the mind and spirit.

Indian head massage
An Indian tradition, practised for thousands of years is designed to stimulate, refresh and improve scalp circulation, strengthening hair growth and reducing headaches. Lymphatic drainage to the face area, relieves eye strain and stress relief.

Aromatherapy
Essential oils enhance the effects of massage. Properties of oils can have a positive effect on your well being. The physical benefits of massage, such as relaxed muscles, improved circulation and the physiological feelings of being cared for, produce a sense of well being.
