MASSAGE THERAPY

THE HEALING POWER OF TOUCH COMBINED WITH DEEP INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HUMAN BODY & ENERGY BODY IS ESSENTIAL TO A TRULY UNIQUE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE.

​

​

WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED VARIOUS FORMS OF  PROLONGED STRESS IN OUR LIVES.  TOO OFTEN WE NEGLECT THE FACT THAT WE ARE WIDE OPEN TO ABSORBING  & COMPOUNDING THIS STRESS.   LEFT UNCHECKED AND CARED FOR, IT HAS THE  ABILITY  TO  NEGATIVELY  'ALTER' OUR OWN STATE OF WELL-BEING & HEALTH.

 

IMBALANCE IS THE RESULT.  

 

  OUR BODIES' MUSCULAR, MENTAL AND ENERGETIC SYSTEMS ARE PUT UNDER SEVERE PRESSURE TO COPE AND INEVITABLY BEGIN SHUTTING DOWN.

 

THIS IS COMMUNICATED BY THE BODY THROUGH FEELINGS OF LOW ENERGY, SLUGGISHNESS, BRAIN FOG AND TIRED, TENSE,  AND SORE MUSCLES.  INFLAMMATION IS AT A HIGH WITHIN THE BODY CAUSING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO WEAKEN.   DISRUPTED SLEEPING PATTERNS, ANXIETY AND EVEN DEPRESSION CAN OCCUR.

​

THE POWER OF MASSAGE THERAPY IS TRULY REMARKABLE & TRANSFORMATIVE.

This treatment is spectacular in the winter as I massage the muscles and tissues with warm basalt rocks.

 

The heat from these rocks releases and lifts any tension from the muscles, but also increases the oxygenation and blood supply to the muscles, aiding in faster stress and tension release. 

​

Pure bliss.

KATE WALKER

Had an excellent stress release treatment today at short notice.  The setting is private with a peaceful atmosphere.  The therapy is one of experience and fundamental knowledge and understanding.  The prices are lower than most spa options in the area.

Julia runs an excellent business with essential treatments to sustain health and wellness.

No fuss and relaxing experience all round!
