A little bit more about…

  • Aromatherapy is one of the most popular complementary therapies. It aims to enhance well-being, relieve stress and help in the rejuvenation and regeneration of the human body.

    Aromatherapy blends naturally extracted essential oils from aromatic plants, to balance, harmonise and promote the health of body, mind and spirit.

    Essential oils can be extracted from flowers, leaves, roots, resins, seeds and fruit, with each essential oil having its own unique healing properties.

    Aside from their potentially therapeutic benefits, essential oils smell amazing, and just smelling a particular oil or oil blend has the potential to lift our spirits and make us feel uplifted or relaxed.

  • Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself. It involves applying finger or thumb pressure to specific points on the feet (or hands).

    These points are called ‘reflexes’ and they reflect, or mirror, the organs and structures of the body as well as a person’s emotional health.

    The concept of reflexology is that the hands and feet are ‘mini maps’ of the body that can be used to restore homeostasis and to encourage holistic healing.

  • Reiki healing is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself.

    It may sound strange or even scary but in reality it is a deeply relaxing treatment which involves a sequence of special hand holds by the therapist along the body.

    Firstly clients lay on their backs and then part way through the treatment they turn onto their front. Clients are fully clothed at all times.

    If you’re feeling lacking in energy, generally 'out of sync' or just fancy giving it a try - reiki is the treatment for you.

    Whether you are interested in spirituality or not, everyone can receive the positive ‘greatest good’ energy and benefits obtained from a Reiki healing treatment.

  • All my aromatherapy treatments use 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils, purchased from a UK supplier whom works with growers to pay fair prices, for the finest quality oils.

    The oils are produced from properly managed environments. None of the oils are tested on animals.

    Each oil is carefully blended by Antonia to create a choice of relaxing blends, if you would prefer a bespoke blend made to your own individual needs, I would be delighted to create one for you.
