Aromatherapy
Widely acclaimed for its uplifting, soothing and balancing effects, aromatherapy is one of the most popular and enjoyable complementary therapies today. As a holistic therapy it aims to work on physical, mental and emotional levels to restore balance and harmony, and it is recognised as one of the best treatments for promoting relaxation and relieving stress.
Aromatherapy is based on the use of natural essential oils extracted from aromatic plants. These pure, fragrant oils have powerful therapeutic properties, and when inhaled or absorbed through the skin, they can influence our emotions, stimulate our physiological systems, fight infections and enhance the body’s ability to heal itself.
Aromatherapy massage treatment combines the benefits of essential oils with therapeutic massage, which boosts the circulation of blood and lymph, and relaxes and tones tense, tired muscles. It is both profoundly relaxing and revitalising.
Clinical Aromatherapists are professionally qualified to use essential oils to treat or alleviate many different ailments and chronic conditions, e.g. stress, insomnia, headaches, muscular pains, arthritis, ME/CFS, skin conditions, digestive problems, PMS and menopausal symptoms.
In professional hands aromatherapy does not interfere with orthodox medical treatments. It is a safe and beneficial complementary therapy for people of all ages.

Reflexology
Reflexology originates from practices of healers in Egypt, Greece and China used more than 4000 years ago. It is a specialised form of massage of the feet, stimulating reflexes that can affect all parts of the body.
The massage is meant to unblock energy channels to restart or improve the flow of energy to specific parts of the body, thus promoting the process of natural healing.
Research has shown that reflexology was also known to some primitive, African tribes, the Red Indians, and early Egyptians. It was rediscovered in the early 1920s by an American ear, nose and throat consultant, Dr William Fitzgerald, who found that by applying pressure to a certain area of the foot he was able to anaesthetise the ear. His findings attracted the attention of others and eventually a nurse by the name of Eunace Ingham became a pioneer in the field in America. One of her students, Doreen Baily, returned to England in the early 1960s to introduce the methods to this country.
