Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a specialised complementary therapy which uses naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants, flowers, fruits, leafs and seeds to balance and harmonise the body at all levels – physical, emotional and spiritual.
Essential oils are specially prepared to suit the client’s profile and needs, and massaged into the body.
This process stimulates the release of beneficial chemicals within the body responsible for healing various imbalances.
Therapist: Florentina Lam-Clark
Acupuncture
Acupuncture, in practice, is the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture is a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as qi or chi — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.Many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue.
***All initial appointments for this treatment are a minimum of 90 minutes, as they require a longer consultation.
Prices of acupuncture appointments are also slightly different than other therapies. Please refer to our prices page for more information.***
Therapist: Naoko Taoka
CHAVUTTI THIRUMAL
This massage by foot pressure is unique as the practitioner uses their feet to deliver almost the entire treatment. Muscles are ironed out and toned with flowing continuous strokes.
It is suitable for anyone as the pressure can be deep but is completely controlled.
Chavutti feels like no other massage, it is powerful yet surprisingly fluid and smooth.
Please note that the minimum time for this massage is 90 minutes.
Therapist: Karina Messer
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
MLD is an advanced therapy that targets the Lymphatic Vessels and “speaks” directly to the Nervous system. A range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques are used to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels, increasing the flow of lymph, which carry substances that are vital for the defence of the body and removes waste products.
It aids the detoxifying, decongesting processes helping the body to reduce inflammation. It is also a useful treatment for those who are highly stressed out or experience anxiety, as it is deeply relaxing!
MLD has been found to be an effective treatment that can help the body deal with recurring infections and can be used to treat a variety of conditions including: low Immune System, headaches and migraines, sinusitis, Carpal Tunnel, IBS, MS, ME, muscular and joint pain, hayfever and asthma, recovery from injuries, and surgery.
Therapist: Florentina Lam-Clark
Deep tissue / sports massage

Deep tissue work is especially useful for treating imbalances, pain and tension caused by the overworking of certain muscle groups.
It is also highly effective in addressing problems such as RSI, tendonitis, and sport-related tension.
Therapists: Karina Messer and Ian Stoneham
Hot oil massage
The exceptional quality of this massage lies in its use of heated oil combined with a variety of techniques drawn from ayurvedic and holistic massage, lymphatic therapy, deep tissue and sports massage.
Tailored to your individual constitution and specific requirements, this type of massage can ease a lot of aches and pain, and is deeply relaxing.

Integral sound healing
Integral sound healing brings together modern science and ancient healing wisdom.
During the course of the treatment, sound, voice and specialist instruments are played in therapeutic ways, and combined with both self-reflection techniques and breath work to encourage deep relaxation, release traumas and offer healing.
Sound helps to entrain our brainwaves by providing a frequency they can attune to. Entrainment is a process which helps synchronise our brainwaves to the vibrations of the sound, inducing a state of deep relaxation. Science has produced strong evidence that music has mental, emotional and physical health benefits improving mood, wellbeing and reducing stress. The autonomic nervous system is stimulated, allowing the body to reduce the fight, flight and freeze response and to encourage the rest and digest and re-balance response.
Using sound as therapy has reported to provide positive results for a variety of issues including sleep disorders, anxiety, fatigue, physical and emotional trauma, stress management, migraine and much more.
Each session is completely unique and intuitively designed for the individual’s current needs. The instruments used may include hand-held drum, tongue drum, tuning forks, Koshi chimes, rattles, Tibetan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls and voice toning. These are played on and off the body according to the receivers consent for inner transformation.
Therapist/s: Cinnamen Johnson and Florentina Lam-Clark
Reiki healing
Reiki & Seichem healing is a gentle and tranquil full body treatment that is received fully clothed, lying down on a treatment table. It involves hands on or off the body to transmit and channel the healing vibrational energy that works on the physical and subtle energy fields of the body. It can be felt as warm, sometimes cool, radiating, tingling and calming energy.
The frequency and vibration of the energy allows the mind to slow down and relax, moving from sympathetic nervous system dominance to the relax, rest and replenish aspect of the parasympathetic nervous system, thus initiating the innate healing system in the body. With such a deep relaxation response and calming effect, Reiki Seichem can help to alleviate pain, tight tense muscles and release mental and emotional stress. To receive a treatment is to take time out to stop, rest and recalibrate on a level that harmonises mind, body and spirit.
Therapist: Florentina Lam-Clark
Reflexology
Reflexology treats the whole body by working on the feet.
The feet reflect the organs and structures of the body.
The therapist detects and clears any imbalances or blockages in points in the feet, helping to heal and restore balance, as well as promote positive energy flow in the body.
It works effectively on a variety of levels and is deeply relaxing.
It can energise, boost the immune system, improve circulation, help with detoxification and elimination, balance hormones, rebalance the body and strengthens body function.
Therapists: Florentina Lam-Clark
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing Japanese healing therapy, working with vital energy or “ki” that flows through your body.
It can help us recover our life force and help us feel better physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Signs of trapped or unavailable life force are symptoms that won’t go away, feeling unmotivated or fed up with your job or relationships and wanting something to change.
As things begin to shift you may feel in better health, more joyful, creative and confident. The world can quite literally look clearer and brighter.
Shiatsu is your own private healing session and can also play a nurturing role in your Yoga and Pilates practice.
You will need to wear warm comfortable clothing with socks and loose trousers.
You will lie comfortably on your back, side or front on a shiatsu futon as you are stretched and specific points are worked using thumbs, palms and even feet.
It can be gentle, or sometimes dynamic, but always relaxing.
The most common issues that people bring to a session are: stress, sciatica, back pain, migraine, fatigue, anxiety, depression, PMS, sports injuries, digestive disorders, insomnia and asthma.
Therapist: Caroline Bozkurt
Thai yoga massage
Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art that has been an integral part of traditional Thai medicine, related to Tui Na (Chinese), Ayurvedic (Indian) and Shiatsu (Japanese) massage.
It is based on the concept of ten sen, an energy system through which the body’s life force flows.
The massage releases blocked energy, and frees the body’s natural healing potential, thus restoring balance, health and harmony.
The therapist applies a combination of acupressure, gentle rocking and twisting, joint and spine mobilizations and assisted yoga stretches, using body-weight instead of strength, in a steady and meditative rhythm.
Thai Yoga Massage is done on a firm futon on the floor with the recipient dressed in light clothes.
Therapist: Emanuela Celletti
Yoga & Sound Healing
A journey of slowing down through fluid movement, breath, sound healing and embodied awareness.
During the course of this treatment, you will be guided into a deep listening of the body’s innate intelligence to regulate, balance, and restore body and mind back into their inner softness and stillness.
These deeply experiential sessions are bespoke to your needs. After a brief chat about your intention and what you need from this session, Shira will guide you through this embodied journey. These sessions are designed for people who may be experiencing physical aches, pains and discomfort or any emotional challenges they may be facing.
You can expect the use of hands on assist during the movement section, and sounds on and around the body.
Therapist: Shira Hess
Zero balancing
This unique bodywork is the perfect integration between the structure and the energy fields of the body. Tensions can reside quite deep in the body and leave a memory of past injuries or emotional events that are often “buried” in the layers of connective tissue, muscle, organs right through to the bone. More simply, it can just be the daily habitual patterns of movement or accumulation of stress that create tension and discomfort in the body. The focus of attention is therefore on the densest form of matter , the skeletal system. Engaging the energy of it by applying fulcrums (held stretches) along points of tension can help to release tension that is old or new.
The treatment involves light traction that helps ease out tension and aids a more efficient alignment in the body. To receive a treatment is to feel the clarity of touch and connection that encourages the body to release aches, pains and stiffness in a gentle way. Some wonderful work around the head and neck fulcrums help to clear deeply held stiffness and increase range of movement.
There are times when we can feel off-kilter, Zero Balancing is a whole body treatment in that it is useful to aid the balance of mind and emotions. The effects permeate through to all levels of being and so it can be beneficial whether the cause is physical, mental or emotional.
