Depression can cause symptoms that affect your day to day life. It can cause difficulties at home or with your family and can affect your ability to complete tasks at work.

Symptoms of depression can range from mild to severe. How much depression impacts your day to day life will depend on how severe it is.

It’s not always possible to tell that you have symptoms of depression right away. It can start and progress gradually.

A lot of people don’t realise they’re ill and try to carry on and cope with their symptoms. Sometimes it takes a friend or family member to notice that there’s a problem.

If you think you might be suffering with depression then let’s talk and take the first steps towards an easier better you. 💫

PEACE

When the world outside is in disarray and chaos abounds, it is vital that you live the life you dream of in your own little bubble. Make the world you want. Kindness, love, patience, acceptance and care. Throw it around like confetti and create the world you will not see on the news. You cannot fix the world or change everyone’s mind but you can BE the peace you seek. And it is beyond vital that you do. It spreads like ever increasing ripples outwards and will find those like-hearted souls you need to reach. When the world is in unrest, be the peace you seek.

Are you interested in trying Swedish massage but not too sure what the difference is with normal massage, or what the benefits are?

I have 30+ years of experience in Holistic healing. I also perform hopi ear candling, aromatherapy massage. Reiki. Reflexology and so much more!

Book in now to treat yourself or a loved one to a mind, body, spirit day of relaxation and pampering.

Swedish massage, also known as a relaxation massage, is a type of massage that differs from other massage techniques in a few ways, including:

Pressure
Swedish massages use light to medium pressure, while deep tissue massages use firmer pressure.

Focus
Swedish massages focus on relaxation and relieving tension, while deep tissue massages focus on treating muscle pain.

Techniques
Swedish massages use long, sweeping strokes, kneading, and circular strokes.

Intended use
Swedish massages are often listed at spas and are good for people who want to relax and unwind. Deep tissue massages are good for people with chronic pain conditions, muscle injuries, or who enjoy firmer pressure.

Duration
Swedish massages usually last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the areas being massaged.

Have you wanted to try reflexology but you're unsure what it does or what it's benefits are? Take a look below and if you have any more questions feel free to drop me a message and we can have a lovely chat.

What Does Reflexology Treat?

Reflexology triggers relaxation, resulting in reduced levels of stress and tension. This practice is also helpful in increasing blood flow and circulation throughout the body. While reflexology should not be used as a replacement for medical therapy, it can nicely complement your ongoing medical treatments.

Reflexology Can Minimize the Symptoms Associated with:

Stress

Tension or migraine headaches

Arthritis

Menopause

Infertility

Menstrual pain

Back pain

Reflexology Can Result in:

Deeper sleep

Improved digestion

Increased cell function

Healthier skin

Breakdown of congestion

Improved mobility and flexibility

After Effects

The effects of reflexology are unique to the individual. While some will experience a sense of relaxation and well-being, others find it to be quite energizing. Your body’s response to the treatment could be instantaneous, however, most people usually notice the full benefits after 4-6 sessions.

How to Reap the Benefits of Reflexology?

After-care for treatments is crucial to its efficacy. In order to aid the healing process and gain the maximum benefits, in the 12 hours after treatment you should:

1. Stay hydrated

Do your best to drink plenty of water to help flush the excess toxins and waste released by the reflexology. Pro-tip: hydrating your body before treatment is equally as important. Staying hydrated will prevent excess soreness, improve metabolic waste, and aid in detox.. Aim to drink half of your body weight in ounces per day, especially on treatment days.

2. Eat Light

Avoid heavy meals for up to two hours after your treatment. While nourishment is important, eating a large meal will divert blood to your digestive tracts, rather than to the areas of the body needing the oxygen and nutrients for healing. If needed, consider eating a light snack such as a piece of fruit or some veggies.

3. Avoid Caffeine

Beverages such as coffee, teas, and sodas contain stimulants that can dehydrate your body and increase your heart rate. This can trigger or elevate symptoms of anxiety, potentially counteracting the benefits of your reflexology treatment.

4. Avoid Alcohol

This is an extremely important substance to avoid after a treatment. Alcohol has diuretic effects, impairs judgment, and can undo the benefits reaped from treatment. Try to avoid alcohol and smoking for up to 24 hours, as the effects are intensified post-treatment.

5. Rest and Relax

It’s important to let your body recover naturally after a session of reflexology. Give your body time to relax during the day and be sure to indulge in a good night’s sleep.

Our reflexology sessions are very affordable, relaxing and will improve yoir mental, spiritual abd physical health in no time.
