Reflexology
Reflexology involves working on various pressure or reflex points in the feet, which relate to different parts of the body. Despite its effectiveness at treating a vast range of illnesses and injuries, reflexology does not set out to heal specific ailments. Rather, its aim is to produce in the body a state of relaxation and homeostasis, a Greek work meaning balance. Reflexology helps to give one a greater sense of well being. It improves circulation, stimulates the lymphatic system and so helps to cleanse the body of toxins. Reflexology helps to release blockages in the body due to the stresses and strains of life by reducing stress, accelerating the repair work done by the body and boosting the immune system. The theory behind reflexology is that the tension, congestion and possible disease in the body are mirrored in the feet and hands. In general if a particular reflex is tender or feels granular when pressed, it indicates that the corresponding body area is in need of stimulation to boost its natural healing powers.

Indian Head Massage Indian Head massage originated in India over a thousand years ago. It began as an everyday activity performed within the family as a way to keep long hair in beautiful condition.
This head massage involves massaging the head, upper back, neck, shoulders and upper arms. You can be clothed or unclothed, use oils, cream, powder or nothing. It helps to relieve the stress and tension that fill our day-to-day lives. It can also help to deal with scalp and hair problems, aid localized blood and lymphatic circulation, relieve eyestrain, boost immune system, relieve muscle tension, and help restore joint movement.
Reiki
Reiki is a healing art that works on every level of our being to bring harmony and balance into our life. Reiki energy has intelligence and science can prove this, it always knows where to go and on what level the healing energy is needed. It is both hands on healing and also absentee healing. The word Reiki translates into English as Universal Life Force Energy. The Rei being the universal part of the energy and the Ki being the life force energy that is in all of us and plants and animals. Reiki is a safe treatment and compliments conventional medicine as well as all other complimentary therapies. However those who suffer illnesses and need controlled medication, like diabetes and cancer should have their medication doses monitored while having extensive Reiki healing. Reiki can help to relieve stress, by making you feel calm and relaxed. We are like onions with many layers built up of fear, worry, stress and trauma. Reiki helps to remove these layers one at a time as it works on our physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. Reiki is safe on pregnant women, young children and the elderly.
