Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils to promote physical, psychological and emotional wellbeing. Treatments are usually offered in the form of a gentle massage after a holistic assessment by your therapist.
Alexander Technique provides a simple, practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement, balance, support and coordination. It teaches you how to create a new balance in the body by releasing unnecessary tension and to only use the appropriate amount of effort for an activity, thereby giving you more energy for other activities.
Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT) is a simple. easy-to-use technique that helps to promote effective relief from stress, anxiety and symptom relief through tapping on certain energy points.
Hypnotherapy involves reaching a deep and natural state of relaxation, which helps to relax and calm the body and mind. The therapist will help you to enter a very relaxed state and will take you through a relaxation routine. At all times during a session you will still have complete awareness and control.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a non-invasive technique which helps to remove excess fluid and waste products from the body quickly. This is done through a specialised form of massage which helps stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the flow of fluid out of the affected area into an area that drains normally.
Massage can help to promote physical and mental relaxation and stimulate the body’s vital energy to encourage circulation and lymphatic flow. The therapist will adapt the techniques used to suit your individual needs after your initial consultation.
