Deep Tissue Massage

£35 for 30 minutes

£65 for 60 minutes

£90 for 90 minutes

Deep tissue Massage is one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness whilst speeding up recovery and encouraging healing.

It can help to alleviate a number of disorders including:

· Stress

· Muscle tension

· Whiplash

· Backache and Sciatica

· Headaches and migraines

· Frozen shoulders

· Stiff neck, shoulders and back

· Sprains and strains

· Repetitive strain injuries

· Postural and alignment problems

· Poor blood flow and lymph circulation

The soft tissue of muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia respond positively to touch and so this type of manipulative massage is effective for relaxation and pain relief as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat injury.

Anyone can benefit from this deep tissue therapy, which is restorative, soothing, and addresses some of the tension created by a hectic lifetsyle.

Aromatherapy Massage

£65 for 60 minutes

£90 for 90 minutes

A relaxing massage therapy using essential oils

Essential oils are extracted from flowers and plants and have been used for centuries for their restorative and healing properties, both physically and psychologically. The sense of smell directly affects the limbic system – a part of the brain that controls emotions and the nervous system.

Essential oils have unique healing properties, for example:

Chamomile, lavender and geranium are calming.

Rosemary is cleansing and energising.

Ylang ylang and neroli are uplifting.

Eucalyptus and pine are decongestants.

The oils are combined to create a unique blend, tailored to the needs of each client, and combined with massage, they promote feelings of deep relaxation and wellbeing.

Aromatherapy massage has been proven to reduce stress and depression. It helps to undo knots and smooths out areas of tension in the body, especially the back, neck and shoulders. It can help alleviate a number of stress related conditions including anxiety and insomnia, headaches and digestive disorders, as well as symptoms such as period pain and back ache.

Barbara works in an intuitive and holistic way, tuning into the individual needs of clients for personalised, focused healing.

Indian Head Massage

An ancient Ayurvedic massage to relax, revitalise and beautify

Indian Head Massage is a deep, tension releasing massage based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. This deeply calming massage focuses not only on the head and scalp, but also on the face, neck, shoulders, upper arms and upper back, the areas of the body that tend to store the most tension.

This style of massage helps energy to flow around the body by clearing blockages, and can benefit those suffering from stress, tension headaches, sinusitis, ear problems, insomnia, hair loss, muscular tension and fatigue, while also helping to improve the condition of the skin and hair.

It is a particularly detoxifying treatment, working to clear on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Barbara integrates acupressure techniques into her Indian Head Massage treatments, as well as channeled healing energy, to add to the effectiveness and depth of the healing.

Reiki

£35 for 30 minutes

£60 for 60 minutes

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique, originating about 100 years ago. It involves the laying-on of hands and uses the vital energy that flows through the universe, and us all, to heal and nurture.

When the vital energy is low or out of balance we are more vulnerable to illness and stress. Reiki, meaning literally ‘universal life force energy’ replenishes our ki and re-balances the subtle energies within our bodies, promoting health and wellbeing.

After a reiki session, clients often report a warm, glowing radiance that flows through the body and mind. Reiki addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues, and has been known to result in major positive transformations and healings.

During a Reiki healing session, the therapist places their hands lightly on different parts of the client’s body, intuitively allowing their movements to be guided by the needs of the individual.

Reiki healing can take place as a stand alone treatment, or can be integrated as part of a massage session.

Barbara is a qualified Reiki Master, and can offer Reiki attunements to groups or individuals.

VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing

A powerful healing art that works with Divine energy and consciousness

£35 for 30 minutes

£60 for 60 minutes

VortexHealing works to release old, limiting patterns and conditioning on the physical, energetic, emotional, spiritual, karmic and pre karmic levels. It is a very powerful healing art that works with Divine energy and consciousness, enabling seemingly insurmountable issues to be transformed.

The healings are very profound, bringing a lot of light into the system, and can help bring in a different manifestation for physical and emotional issues, focussing in on the organs, body systems, energetics or emotional areas in need of transformation.

Physically, Vortexhealing can help with issues including viruses and infections, subclinical viruses, autoimmune disease, boosting the immune system, deeply energising generally, optimising and balancing the body's organs and systems, including the endocrine, brain and nervous system, clearing and fortifying the energy pathways and working to optimise genetic expression, bringing homeostasis and wellbeing.

The focussed nature of the healing means it can be effective for many physical conditions, also working to clear any underlying patterns and conditioning too, resulting in a thorough and nuanced healing, taking in all aspects of the issue, on a very deep level.

The healings can act as an energetic tune up, fortifying the system and freeing up the flow of energy in a general way. If you wish to work on deeper issues, a few sessions may be needed to bring the healing to all aspects of the issue, and clear it at a deeper level.

Barbara has been practicing VortexHealing since 2002, and is currently qualified to MI level.

Angelic Heart healing

£35 for 30 minutes

£60 for 60 minutes

Angelic Heart healings are part of, and are facilitated by the VortexHealing® lineage. The healings bring through Angelic energy and consciousness, creating a deeply transformational space. The human emotional system responds very well to it, facilitating the release of old emotional patterns and the remembering of our own heart and deeper being.

Angelic Heart is a powerful energy with personal situations (providing clarity and new solutions), with emotional distress and anxiety (providing comfort and hope), and with confusion or a loss of hope (providing clarity, or a feeling of safety and new possibilities). It creates a mirror that reflects issues, but with a bliss aspect, to light up another way of being within the situation. Often you will find solutions to or understanding of challenges appearing for some days after a healing.

The healings work through the energetic bodies and the LifeField - a fundamental part of the human consciousness, which forms a deep source of support for our issues. This creates a new consciousness space within the LifeField, or within specific areas of it, where we hold individual issues. We are pulled into the new space (for it has lovely angelic consciousness), which weakens the identification with the conditioning that is still there. Sometimes, this will enable the conditioning and sometimes the whole issue, to be seen in a new light, creating emotional transformation.
