Massage
What is massage?
Massage is a nurturing process of touch and response. The body is treated as a whole, taking into account the emotional and spiritual well-being as well as the physical body. The idea is to work ‘with’ you, rather than doing it ‘to’ you. By understanding the body’s structure, function and malfunction, the therapist will be able to assess the effects on you as a client and adjust the massage techniques to suit you.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine which originated in China over 3000 years ago and it is also the most researched form of complementary therapy.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine we all have a vital energy or life force known as Qi which flows along invisible pathways or meridians. Any constitutional weakness may disturb this flow of Qi causing it to stagnate in the channels. By inserting fine needles into specific points along these meridians, will free the stagnation and stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms. Research shows that acupuncture stimulates the brain to produce endorphins. These chemicals affect various body systems, reduce pain and make you feel good.

Nutritional Therapy
What is Nutritional Therapy?
- Nutritional medicine involves the use of vitamin and mineral supplements in combination with diet to gain optimum health.
- There are a whole series of trace elements such as zinc, magnesium and chromium and a number of vitamins which, if deficient, can lead to disease.
