Reflexology is the study of the areas on the feet and hands, which reflect all body structures and zones. The aim is to stimulate the body’s energy flow resulting in the release of tension and congestion at every physiological level. This is achieved by application of pressure using specific thumb and finger manipulations, on the feet and hands, thereby promoting optimum homeostasis and harmony of being.

Reiki is a unifying healing system of probable Tibetan origin rediscovered in late 1800’s by Dr Mikao Usui. Translated REI means spiritually guided, and KI means life force energy. A one-hour therapeutic session consists of twenty or more hand placements on the body from head to feet finishing with the back. The transferred energy produces feelings of profound relaxation and well-being thereby aiding reduction of stress and tension with reported reduction of pain levels. Reflexology and Reiki are conducted with the client fully clothed and generally in a semi-recumbent position.

Swedish massage stems from the ancient healing art of massage, which was first recorded in China 5,000 years ago, and has been extensively used in most cultures for centuries. A Swedish doctor created a technique known as the Swedish massage, a systematic manipulation of the body’s soft tissues. This replicates muscle movement effectively producing therapeutic responses.
