Advanced holistic massage

Advanced Holistic massage is an approach that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on specific symptoms or areas of discomfort. It combines various techniques, such as deep tissue, and aromatherapy, to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. The goal is to create a balance in the body, addressing emotional and mental stress alongside physical tension.

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It uses firm pressure and slow strokes to alleviate chronic tension, pain, and stiffness. This type of massage is particularly effective for areas of chronic muscle tightness. Abbie will focus on specific muscle groups, using techniques like trigger point release and stretching to break up adhesions and improve blood flow. While it can be more intense than other forms of massage, many people find it beneficial for relieving stress and promoting overall muscle recovery.

Clinical aromatherapy

Aromatherapy massage is a type of massage therapy that incorporates essential oils derived from plants. These oils are blended with a carrier oil and used during the massage to enhance relaxation and well-being. Each essential oil has unique properties. The combination of the massage techniques and the aromatic oils aims to relieve stress, improve mood, and promote physical and emotional healing.

Clinical reflexology

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, known as reflex points. Abbie works directly onto the feet. These points correspond to different organs and systems in the body. The belief is that stimulating these areas can promote healing, relieve stress, and improve overall health by enhancing circulation and encouraging relaxation.

Practitioners use various techniques, such as thumb walking and finger pressure, to manipulate these reflex points. Reflexology is often used as a complementary therapy to support wellness and alleviate conditions like headaches, digestive issues, and anxiety.

Reflexology lymphatic drainage

Reflexology lymph drainage is a specialised form of reflexology that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system through targeted pressure points, primarily on the feet. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in detoxification and immune function, and this technique aims to enhance lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and promote overall health.

By applying gentle pressure to specific reflex points related to lymphatic function, practitioners aim to facilitate the removal of toxins and improve circulation. This method can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions such as lymphedema, post-surgery recovery, or general fluid retention. Overall, it combines the principles of reflexology with a focus on supporting the lymphatic system.

Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialised massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and enhance the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. It involves gentle, rhythmic movements and light pressure applied to the skin, typically focusing on areas where lymph nodes are concentrated.

MLD is often used to reduce swelling, particularly in cases of lymphedema, post-surgical recovery, and certain medical conditions. The technique helps to promote detoxification, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. By encouraging the movement of lymph, MLD can aid in the removal of waste and excess fluids, contributing to overall health and well-being.

Pregnancy massage

Pregnancy massage focuses on the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy, providing relief from common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and muscle tension.

This type of massage typically uses techniques that are safe and comfortable for the mother and baby, often involving side-lying positions or supported postures. Therapists may also adjust their techniques to address specific areas of tension, helping to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and improve circulation.

Reiki

Reiki healing is a form of energy therapy it involves Abbie using her hands to channel healing energy into a client, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional balance. The term “Reiki” translates to “universal life energy,” reflecting the belief that this energy flows through all living things.

During a session, clients typically lie down fully clothed while the practitioner lightly places their hands on or near the body. The goal is to facilitate the flow of energy, which can help alleviate physical and emotional issues, enhance well-being, and promote a sense of calm.

Crystal healing

Crystal healing is a holistic therapy that involves using crystals to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Different crystals possess unique energetic properties that can influence the body’s energy fields.

During a session, specific crystals are placed on or around the body, or the individual may hold them. Each crystal is thought to resonate with particular chakras or areas of concern, helping to balance energy, reduce stress, and support healing.
