Your Practitioner
My background is in family law but I have always had an interest in complementary therapies. I was introduced to Bowen by my GP when suffering migraines during my third pregnancy.
My positive experiences with Bowen encouraged me to also qualify in Reflexology and Indian Head Massage in order to help both my own family and others.
I have also completed the Bowen for Mothers & Babies course and offer a pre & post-natal package to maintain optimum health for both.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over 5000 years. Your treatment would involve me using my hands to knead, rub and squeeze your muscles, focusing on your head, neck, shoulders and scalp. An Indian Head Massage is very beneficial for both physical and emotional health. Some of the benefits are as follows:
- Promotes total relaxation and is excellent for all types of stress related problems
- Increased blood circulation to the brain means more oxygen is delivered; this helps mental fatigue and improves circulation
- Increased circulation helps stiffness in the neck and shoulders as waste products are taken away
- Relieves eyestrain and tension headaches
- Helps with irritability and promotes sleep
- Triggers the release of endorphins thus creating a feeling of contentment and happiness
- Breaks down "knots" which develop from tension within the muscles
Good for:
Muscular aches, sinus problems, stress related disorders, dry hair, nasal congestion, fatigue, upper back pain, tension in neck & scalp and headaches.
Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient therapy which involves me using my thumb and fingers to apply pressure to reflex points on your feet. These points are linked by energy pathways to all parts of your body. I will aim to restore balance and harmony to your whole body whilst also treating your symptoms and the cause.
Bowen Technique
Put simply, the Bowen Technique resets the body to heal itself.
It is a gentle form of body work. A treatment session consists of a series of gentle moves performed over your muscles and connective tissue, sending messages deep into your body. As it is a truly holistic therapy, clients often report improvements in areas seemingly unrelated to the original problem. I can target a specific problem or address your body as a whole
