Bowen Technique
At a glance...
The Bowen technique was developed by Australian Tom Bowen (1916 – 1982). He recognised that, given the opportunity, the body can heal itself.
Healing takes place when the body is at its most relaxed and this principle is the cornerstone to the technique’s success. As muscle tension reduces, energy is released and neural pathways communicate more effectively.
The Bowen technique is a non-invasive/imposing practice. The practitioner’s work allows the body, and its inherent wisdom, to begin to make subtle adjustments, helping it to return towards natural alignment and balanced health. Symptoms are individual to the sufferer and the rate of healing will be equally unique.
Treatment involves...
The patient remains clothed whilst a series of light, rolling moves over specific locations are performed, initiating the natural healing process. Between these moves the practitioner leaves the treatment room for a short time, thereby allowing the body to respond without interruption.
Length: 1 hour
Massage
At a glance...
Massage is a treatment which aims to relax, revive and heal the body by use of manual hands-on movements and manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles in the body.
The treatment can be for relaxation purposes, sports recovery or pain relief.
Treatment involves...
In a comfortable and warm room, you will lie on a massage table, draped by a sheet or large towel with only the area being massaged exposed. The certified professional massage therapist will work on areas accordingly within their scope of practice and in an ethical manner to ensure your comfort and wellbeing throughout the treatment.

Reiki
At a glance...
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy, commonly referred to as energy healing, involving the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to their patient.
Energy healing targets the energy fields around the body. According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.
Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. This can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
Length: 1 hour
Treatment involves...
The patient will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the head, limbs, and torso using different hand shapes, for between 2 and 5 minutes. During this time, the transfer of energy takes place. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy has stopped flowing. When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has abated, they will remove their hands and may place them over a different area of the body.
Reflexology
At a glance...
Reflexology is a special type of foot massage. Pressure techniques are applied to specific points on the foot which relate to parts of the body. This in turn may help the body remove blockages and achieve a healthy balance.
Reflexology is a great stress reliever, helping a client to feel revitalised and energised.
Length: 1 hour
Treatment involves...
In a similar way to a massage, the practitioner will use their hands to apply pressure to the feet, stimulating the reflex points on your feet.
Sometimes the reflexologist will be able to feel imbalance in the feet and can work on these areas accordingly. As this is a gentle, non-invasive treatment, it is suitable for everybody including the elderly and children.
