Aromatherapy massage is the art of applying powerful plant extracts known as essential oils to the body to bring about physical, emotional and spiritual harmony and balance.
Each essential oil has it's own individual properties and will be chosen by the therapist for a specific reason which will relate to the client's physical and emotional well-being.
Once several oils that will complement each other have been selected and diluted in a carrier oil, a full body luxury massage will follow. A combination of strokes and heat ensures the passage of the oils through the skin, into the bloodstream and then circulate every organ system in the body.
Over the next 24 hours these magical oils will work to a schedule to help create positive change within the individual. Aromatherapy Massage is a truly enjoyable way of keeping stress levels low, immune systems high and emotional equilibrium
The above describes the 1 Hour treatment. This treatment needs to be carried out within the confines of a private room.

The ancient spiritual masters of India taught that all living things were based on underlying energies. This became the foundation for Ayurveda, the world's oldest system of medicine, which developed as a method for balancing energy to promote optimal health and longevity.
AYURVEDA (pronounced "I-your-vay-da") is a system of holistic medicine from India with roots going back at least 5,000 years
Its influence has been noted in the roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as the healing arts practiced by Hippocrates, the Ancient Greek founder of Western medicine.
The word "ayurveda" is a combination of the Sanskrit word "ayura," meaning "life" or "life span," and "veda" meaning "wisdom." Ancient ayurvedic texts, compiled by master herbalists and healers and tested over centuries, trace the sources of illness from the physical body through the mental plane, the "subtle body" (similar to the energy systems used in acupuncture) all the way up to vast cosmic cycles.
The ayurvedic system is based on the belief that the universe is made up of five different elements -- ether, air, fire, water and earth, which are present in all things, from planetary systems to subatomic structures, from colors and moods to sounds and feelings. Human sickness is seen as being caused by an excess or imbalance in these elemental influences; the goal of ayurveda is to bring them back into balance.
For example, excess air can cause gas (physical) or light-headedness (mental). Too much fire can lead to heat rash, heartburn or a hot temper. An overabundance of water may lead to laziness, obesity or bronchial congestion.
Therapies used by ayurveda include herbal mixtures, nutrition, meditation, aromatherapy, music and color therapy and deep cleansing techniques known as Panchakarma.
Panchakarma methods include oil rubs, massage, herbal sweat baths, and medicated inhalations aimed at flushing out harmful toxins which damage sensitive cells and tissues.
Because it is a holistic system closely related to yoga and other spiritual disciplines, much ayurvedic knowledge is aimed at maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This includes a proper diet, regular exercise and meditation, and living according to DINACHARYA, the cycles of nature, both daily (rising with the sun) and seasonally (eating less oily foods in the summer).
One of the great strengths of ayurveda is that, unlike Western medicine, it takes a more individual approach to patients. People are not seen as interchangeable biological machines, but as fitting in a particular DOSHA, or body type, based on the combined influence of the five elements.
There are three basic dosha types: VATA, PITTA, and KAPHA. The nervous, sensitive vata dosha (or "air type") is made up of ether and air; the temperamental, ambitious pitta dosha ("fire type") consists of fire and water; and the cool, phlegmatic kapha dosha ("water type") combines influences of water and earth.
Ayurvedic treatment usually begins with the practitioner carefully interviewing a patient to determine their body type and mental state, as well as specific health problems. Treatments for the same ailment will vary based on individual dosha.
Some ayurvedic therapies focus on MARMAS, or "nerve doorways," and SROTAS, or "channels" -- nerve centers and meridians similar to those used in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Ayurveda also does not reject Western medicine, thanks to the traditional Vedic philosophy of SANATANA DHARMA: accept everything in its appropriate time and place. Ayurvedic practitioners realize all aspects of medicine can be useful at times.
Ayerveda is recognised by the World Health Organization. More than 300,000 Ayurvedic physicians belong to the All-India Ayurveda Congress, making it the largest medical organization in the world.

Background:
The ancient Chinese viewed the ear as a miniature representation of the
whole body. They found that inserting small fine needles in to the relevant
body parts on the outer ear led to an improvement in body functions. This
system (auricular acupuncture) is helpful for stress management, relaxation,
detoxing and as a general tonic. It is also used for a wide range of other
conditions including stopping smoking, weight control, tension, insomnia,
fatigue, digestive problems, depression, allergies, PMT and headaches.
What does it involve?
It is a simple, safe procedure which involves the insertion of very fine
needles in to the outer ear. These are left in place for around 20 minutes
while the client relaxes - seated and fully clothed. All needles are pre-packed,
sterile and used only once. For those who are afraid of needles or can
not have regular treatments, small magnets can be applied to the ear.
Suitable for: offices, demonstrations, corporate days, product launches. All treatments are clothed.
Shiatsu is a holistic therapy based on a Japanese healing art. It literally means "finger pressure" although during the course of a treatment hands, forearms, elbows and even feet may be used. Originating in Japan as a type of relaxing massage, Shiatsu has developed, incorporating the ancient knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, into a therapy using a number of techniques and is not strictly just massage.
As a result of our lifestyles, diets, family or work situations, tension and stress build up creating blockages in our bodies. This often results in physical, emotional and psychological "dis-ease". Shiatsu seeks to redress this imbalance by encouraging energy to flow smoothly, offering support while your body relaxes and allows itself to open up to the healing process.
Pressure is applied on energy channels in the body called 'meridians'. Individual meridians relate to different systems, eg nervous system, digestive system, reproductive system, etc, as well as organ functions. The aim and intention of a treatment is to bring balance and harmony to the energy channels, removing any blockages to allow the smooth flow of energy ("Chi" in Eastern terms).
