Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage (often known as Swedish massage or remedial massage) works on the muscles to release muscular pain and tension, and ease movement in the body.
The physical manipulation of the muscles helps improve muscle condition and reduce muscular tension. Many of the techniques also calm the autonomic nervous system switching it from it's sympathetic mode (adrenalin driven, fast paced, stressed) to the parasympathetic mode (concerned with relaxation, healing and cell renewal). This provides an invaluable opportunity for the body to rest and repair itself on a deep level.
Massage therapy is useful in treating muscular tension that can arise due to postural problems, sedentary lifestyles and prolonged stress. It is very useful in the management of stress when received regularly.

Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage involves blending highly aromatic essential oils with base oils (non aromatic oils) which are then applied to the body using a variety of relaxing massage techniques.
Aromatherapy is a deeply relaxing treatment which combines the powerful effects of massage with powerful plant extracts.
Aromatherapy can be used purely to harness the powers of relaxing essential oils and create a pleasant smelling blend, or can be used more medicinally. A great variety of conditions can benefit from the medicinal properties of the powerful plant essences. Each essential oil has properties that are unique to the plant from which it was extracted.

Particular attention is focused on the back (especially any areas of muscular tension or pain) and the legs (helping to relieve cramps and reduce fluid retention).
Pregnancy massage is particularly beneficial during the third trimester but can be enjoyed during the second and third trimester.

Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian) Massage
Traditional Hawaiian massage, called Lomi Lomi, incorporates lots of long flowing strokes up and down the whole body, and also involves massage work on different areas of the body simultaneously. This makes it very different in style to therapeutic or aromatherapy massage and creates a unique experience in which all parts of the body feel connected.
Lomi Lomi massage is a healing massage that has been handed down through Hawaiian families for generations and is very nurturing. It aims to bring the body back into balance and instils a deep sense of harmony, connectedness and wellbeing.
