Holistic Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy is the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots etc to enhance psychological and physical well-being. A blend of natural essential oils is prepared for your individual needs. The aroma of a blend works to calm your nervous system, mood and emotions. Through massage therapy the blend is absorbed through the skin, where it circulates to benefit the physical body. Aromatherapy is used to relieve a wide range of physical and emotional conditions. Aromatherapy Pregnancy Massage
A calming, restorative treatment which will help alleviate the effect of the intense changes in a woman’s body, as they prepare for childbirth. Using a unique blend of pure essential oils, appropriate to your needs and stage of pregnancy, this massage will help reduce stress and anxiety, ease shoulder and back pain and clear lymphatic congestion which can build up in your lower body. Holistic Aromatherapy Facials
This rejuvenating treatment uses the restorative benefits of aromatherapy products and the precious oils of Rose, Neroli, Jasmine & Frankincense, to deeply cleanse, purify and regenerate your skin. This treatment will lift your spirits and leave your skin feeling nourished and renewed with healthy glow. Therapeutic Massage
Based on the ‘Swedish Massage’ technique, this treatment is a good ‘all round’ massage. It will ease muscular aches and pains, increase flexibility and restore balance to your body. Emotionally it will enhance a meditative state that helps relieve stress, tension and anxiety, the pressure required is up to you. Deep Tissue Massage
This treatment is good for contracted, injured and underperforming muscles. Using strong, slow and precise movements on specific areas of the body, it works to ‘detox the muscle’ by flushing out toxins and increasing circulation to help re-nourish the muscle. This treatment will ease pain and restriction and help your muscle perform effectively once again. Reiki Healing
Reiki is a non-invasive natural form of healing which works to restore balance in both mind and body. The practitioner lightly rests hands over the chakras of the body to promote the flow of energy in our Meridians and Chakras, which can become disrupted, weakened or blocked. Reiki is excellent for healing any physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues. Prices available on request with Catherine Jacobs or via hotel concierge.
