What is Holistic Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy provides a means of relaxing, de-stressing
and relief from many
physical and mental symptoms.
It does this by using a blend of Essential Oils in a Carrier Oil that is
massaged into the skin of the client.
The Essential Oils are powerful extracts
from plants that have many and
varied properties. Some can stimulate blood and energy flow, others
calm the
mind and emotions. Some can help to strengthen the immune system, some
can
raise blood pressure, others can help to lower it, some are diuretic
and
enable toxins to be released.
The range of effects is extremely
varied, depending on the blends used and
reasons for coming for treatment.
This is why a consultation is required before the treatment starts.
The Carrier Oil helps to transport the Essential Oils through the
layers of
the skin and into the bloodstream and helps with the massage strokes
by
lubricating the skin's surface. Carrier Oils also contain vitamins
to help
keep skin supple and toned.
The Massage aspect of Aromatherapy helps to keep muscular tone, releases
tension and helps with releasing toxins, through the skin and other
ways! It
also provides the comfort of healing touch.
The Holistic aspect of Aromatherapy balances energy flows on a subtle
level
as well as a physical one, as meridian lines and "tsubo points" release
blockages and tensions.

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese term for "spiritually directed universal energy" and is used to balance on all levels, spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. It is a form of hands-on spiritual healing and is performed with the client fully clothed. It can be relaxing or energising, per what the client requires at that moment. A quick consultation is requested to ascertain what the client is looking for in the treatment session and sessions can be booked according to how long the client feels is necessary.
