Energy work in all its variations is a great alternative to handling stress in life or in the physical body. At times when we can feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward, clearing the body’s major chakras and the auric field can completely shift your perspective through reconnection to the Higher Self. While every session is quite different depending on the individual’s needs, balance and peace always result.

There are many benefits to receiving regular massage treatments. Apart from the obvious release of muscle tension, it can also be used to bring relief from headaches, stress, exhaustion and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It can help to improve a disrupted sleep cycle.

The well-known and popular Swedish Massage, also known as a Classic Massage, is a full-body massage treatment that applies circular and relaxing pressure combined with movement of the joints.

Kate will apply various techniques such as effleurage (long, sweeping strokes) petrissage (muscle kneading and rolling), tapotement (rhythmic tapping) and friction directed towards the heart to increase lymph and circulation flow.

Swedish Massage helps the body to heal itself by physically manipulating and stimulating the body’s circulatory and lymphatic systems. This works to energise and help eliminate toxins in the body, and of course, through Swedish massage, a high level of relaxation can often be achieved.

Lymphatic drainage is a very gentle technique that works directly on the lymphatic system of the body. Our lymphatic system is part of our immune system, and complementary to the circulatory system. It is a very complex system that medical professionals are still learning about. This marvellous system maintains fluid levels in our body tissues by removing all fluids that leak out of our blood vessels. When the lymphatic system is not formed well or has been damaged (e.g. by surgery, radiotherapy or other tissue damage), swelling of part of the body may occur (usually, but not exclusively, the legs or arms). When this swelling lasts more than about three months it is called lymphoedema.

You do not need to be suffering from lymphoedema to enjoy this very relaxing treatment.

The purpose of this technique is to increase the body’s natural flow of lymph drainage. Working with the stretch receptors in the skin enables practitioners to move the body’s lymph fluid through the system much faster than it normally would, thereby decreasing any congested fluid build-up.

Sound healing, which is also known as sound therapy, has been practised since ancient times. The concept of sound therapy is based on the idea that every part of your body creates a vibration that resonates in a certain way. Put another way, vibrational healing is based on the idea that everything in the universe - including our bodies - is in a state of vibration.

The body has a natural affinity to quartz. On a molecular level, our cells contain silica, which balances our electromagnetic energies. The crystal acts as an oscillator, magnifying and transmitting pure tone. As the sound affects brainwave activity one can enter into an altered state of consciousness. As different parts of the brain are affected, it is probable that they release different hormones and neurochemicals.

It is believed that crystal singing bowls produce a vibrational sound that resonates with the chakra of your body. A series of pure crystal bowl therapy is said to help rebalance your body to optimal health. This therapy is believed to transmit energy to your aura and directly affect your brain wave activity, supporting an improved state of consciousness. Various alternative health practitioners believe that crystal singing bowls are powerful tools that can help heal mental and physical ailments.
