Indian Head Massage
I trained in Indian Head Massage with the
London School of Indian Champissage (LCIC), the School set up by Narendra Mehta in 1995.
Indian Champissage (Head Massage) includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face, ears and energy balancing and is based on the traditional form of head massage practised in India for over 1,000 years.
It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy, safe to give and extremely beneficial for the following:-
Muscle Relaxation
Loosening of Tense Shoulders/Stiff Neck
Relief from Headaches, Eyestrain, Sinusitus and Insomnia
Promotes a wonderful sense of relaxation and calm
A Treatment will last approximately half an hour with an initial consultation before the first treatment.
Naturopathic Nutrition
I qualified in Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy at the UK School of Naturopathic Nutrition based in Woking, following a two year Diploma course.
Naturopathic Nutrition is a holistic therapy which treats everyone as an individual, seeking out and removing the cause of disease rather than just supressing the symptoms.
It can treat people with all manner of health problems, some of the more common ones being acne, anxiety, IBS, cystitis, depression, eczema, fatigue, headaches, infertility, insomnia, low blood sugar and stress.
Our health is a reflection of how we treat our bodies and with today's modern living, combined with poor diet, high stress levels, a polluted environment as well as inherited tendencies, it is often no wonder that so many of us become ill.
Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy helps the body to heal itself through diet, lifestyle and, if necessary, supplementation.
If you wish to supplement your diet or already are, it is always worth remembering that, as with most things, with supplements you get what you pay for! Many of the cheaper supplements are cheap because they contain fillers, binders and synthetic ingredients. If your supplement tells you to take it with food this is probably because it is not natural and needs food to 'trick' the body into accepting it. Many cheaper supplements have a limited absorbancy.
I personally use and always recommend a company called Cytoplan (www.cytoplan.co.uk). Cytoplan's products are food state which means they are nutrient-enriched wholefoods.
Have a look at their website, they have lots of great information and articles you can read. If you would like some advice on which products I would recommend then please feel free to email me with your questions.
The main five 'conditions' that I advise on supplementation regularly are:
1) Fertility, both for the male and female.
2) Pregnancy.
3) Stress related conditions inc. feeling stressed/tired/not coping/low energy.
4) IBS
5) Painful periods/regulating painful periods.
If you would like advice on the above problems and which supplements I would recommend then please feel free to contact me.
If you would just like to change your supplement from your regular supplement to a food state product then you can order products direct from Cytoplan (either by telephone or on line). You may be asked for Practitioner details so please give my name. They are usually delivered within 2 days.
Ayurvedic Facial Rejuvenation MassageThis is a traditional routine using marma points that aims to relax the face muscles, improve muscle tone and enhance the natural metabolism of the skin, thus improving skin texture and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to prevent the formation of new ones. As a holistic therapy, it aims to promote balance and harmony throughout the whole body.
Thermo Auricular Therapy (Ear Candling)Ear Candling is good for removing ear wax, recurrent ear infections, sinus problems, helping colds, helping with balance and inner ear problems, tinnitus, headaches and sore throats. The candle is inserted into the ear to draw out impurities and relieve pressure in the head and sinuses. The treatment is suitable for children who often have frequent ear infections.
Ear Candling promotes great relaxation and reduces pressure in the ears and sinuses.
I only use the best quality candles which are different from conventional wax candles. These candles are a cotton tube, with a filter, and contain beeswax, honey, sage, camomile and oils.
The treatment involves the client laying on one side, with their head supported by a pillow. The candle is then lit and held while it gently burns down, creating a warm feeling. Often the client will hear hissing or crackling but this is part of the treatment. This is then repeated on the other side.
After the treatment, the client will remain laying down while I perform either a gentle facial massage or a short reflexology treatment focusing on the sinus and congested areas.
Most deposits removed from the ear will evaporate during treatment but some are found in the candle when we open this after the treatment.
It is a wonderfully relaxing treatment.
