About Me:

I became aware of the benefits of massage in early 200, after a personal experience. In 2004 I decided to study Massage Therapy and from this I have completed a variety of attitional course and specialities within the industry of Massage and Natural Therapies.

Services Offered:

Relaxation Massage - Involves using long, gliding strokes and kneading techniques on the more superficial layers of muscle, generally in the direction of blood flow toward the heart. Some of the benefits of Relaxation Massage include:

- Improves circulation

- Relieves muscle tension

- Promotes general relaxation

- Relieves mental stress

- Enhances nourishment and health of the skin

Pregnancy Massage - Massage during pregnancy can be very beneficial for both mother and baby. Some of the benefits include:

- Can help reduce the incidence of morning sickness

- Promotes relaxation and relieves stress

- Increases blood and numph circulation, and therefore reduces swelling

- Reduces muscle cramps in joints and prepares muscles that are used during childbirth

- Eases problems that arise during pregnancy such as sciatica, leg cramps, and back & shoulder pain

- Decreases insomnia

- Reduces calf cramps

Enjoy the relief of being pampered while lying face-down. By using a specially designed pregnancy contour cushion, it will allow your body to lie safely and comfortably ensuring your experience is deeply relaxing every time.

Side lying is also available if required.

*Please note it is recommended that massage during pregnancy only commences after the first trimester (12 weeks)

Hot Stone Massage - Allow your body to totally relax as heated volcanic stones are used to massage your body, deeply soothing tight muscles. Heated smooth flat stones are placed on key points of the body. This allows tight muscles to soften while at the same time other stones are used to massage certain areas of the body.

The warmth of the stone increases circulation, and calms the nervous systems while at the same time offering a deeply relaxing form of massage.

*NB This form of massage is not permitted during pregnancy

Ear Candling - This is a natural way to clean out accumulated wax and debris from the ears. It is painless and harmless and a totally relaxing experience. During an EC session you lie on your side and a specially designed candle is gently placed in the ear. Extra long and extra wide candles are used which enable more to be drawn from the ear. The procedure takes between 60-90 minutes to perform and light cranial massage is performed to assist in the drainage of the toxins, wax and debris.

Expect to be amazed at what is collected in the candles!

Ear Candling may assist with the following:

- Headaches

- Chronic sinusitis

- Excessive ear wax

- Vertigo

- Ear aches and pain

- Ear infections

- Regulation of ear pressure
