HOW TO CHOOSE ... ?
The usual, orthodox way of making an appointment for Holistic Therapy, is to have an awareness of your body, and to choose the therapy that seems to fit – and book it.
A less utilised method is to let your therapist be the guide. Let them use their intuition, experience and knowledge to provide a ‘Therapy Path’ for you that is right for you at that particular moment. Then the fusion of the services becomes an alchemy, transforming the session to a higher plane and treating you as a complete entity.
Rather than a service user ordering from the Therapy Menu.
Crystal Therapy
There is no ‘magic’ behind Crystal Therapy. It is a complementary and natural approach, meaning it can be used alongside traditional medicine and has no negative side-effects.
Perhaps the most common benefit reported is the very deep relaxation, with potential enhancements on the Physical, Emotional or Spiritual.
Whilst clients have found it useful when treating stress and anxiety, it may also help ease tense muscles, potentially lessening physical pain and sleeping problems. Further, on an emotional and spiritual level, crystals may enhance self-esteem, encourage clarity and inspire a sense of peace and centredness.
Some people say they feel a difference in themselves immediately, for others it takes longer for the Therapy to take effect.
60 minutes - £50
Reiki
By channelling the universal energy that surrounds us, your body can be encouraged to realize the potential of its own self-healing capabilities.
Originating in Japan, Reiki forms a wonderful complimentary therapy in either a personal wellness or healing programme. Here, Reiki is intended to be used to improve your own personal wellness – not just for illness.
Reiki is used for stress reduction, relaxation and symptom relief in efforts to improve overall health and well-being. Invariably, it is a very relaxing and peaceful experience.
Worldwide, Reiki is used in many settings including hospitals and hospices, as well as in private practice. Reiki works effectively alongside orthodox health-care and natural remedies, expanding your treatment options.
Life is a constantly changing process and in order to stay healthy we need to adapt continually to the changes occurring, both inside the body and out, otherwise the body/mind starts to lose balance and become dis-ease.

Sound Healing
WHAT MAKES SOUND HEALING SUCH AN EFFECTIVE THERAPY?
When I started my Sound Healing course, I was a little dismayed to find I was doing [effectively] basic foundation work. Yet very swiftly I appreciated the breadth and depth of the syllabus, plus the need for me [ME!!] to sing, chant and make noises over the body of the client. To me, the following explains both how and why sound healing is such an effective therapy.
Firstly, it is a simple therapy. There is no need for anything complicated, special clothing or clothing removal. The client lies on a couch, and in the ‘Basic Sound Healing’ session, turns over half way through.
Secondly, it is not an intrusive therapy. No physical manipulations, pullings and strainings, prodings or pokings. [Apart from a sensing of neck and lower back in the ‘Basic Sound Healing’ session]. A potential re-assurance for female clients in view of my being a male.
Thirdly, in every session of my case studies, the immediate response has been ‘relaxing’ through to ‘extremely relaxing’. The ability of the human body to stop, relax, and unwind its muscles and tensions is by its nature therapeutic and healing. The tension and stress of being tightly and highly strung inhibits natural movement and performance. It also entraps toxins such as lactic acid within the muscle tissues and fibres.
Fourthly, it is so natural. It is ‘normal’ for people to be soothed, be it by the sound of nature such as the waves on the beach or the sigh of the breeze stirring the leaves. Or it could be the result of music, like the song that ‘tugs at the heart stings’, or is a transport of delight to a peaceful realm or way of being. Conversely, it may be motivational, such as military music enthusing the soldiers, or productive, such as lively music in industrial settings.
Fifthly, and similarly, it is Holistic. In combination with other therapies, it can amplify and intensify the clients therapy. Soft music and sounds are useful in both a therapeutic massage as well as hypnotherapy and meditation as the client is enabled to relax and unwind.
Lastly, and importantly, it is Wholesome. All the client has to do is just …. ‘Be’. Nothing artificial is needed, such as drugs and chemicals. After all, how evocative is the sound from childhood of the ice cream van chimes? 60 minutes £40
