Full Body Holistic Massage
1 Hour Session €50

Holistic massage treats the ‘Whole Person’ - Your Body, Mind & Soul in Unison. This is a gentle and relaxing treatment. It is an ancient method of healing that clears the lymphatic drainage system and releases toxins from the body, as well as relieving mental and emotional stresses & tensions. 

By recognising that illness and stress affects not only our physical but also our emotional, spiritual & mental well-being, we can allow holistic massage to encourage the body's natural healing abilities to come forth & balance the entire body as a whole. This treatment is soothing, deeply relaxation and promotes overall wellbeing. 

The therapist uses a range of massage techniques to work on tensions and stresses in the body, tailored to your personal needs using the holistic approach.

The Holistic Facial
1 Hour Session €50

A Holistic Facial is not only a wonderful way to relax and promote a sense of well-being, but this holistic facial will also improve the texture of the skin, increase circulation and encourage rejuvenation and cellular activity.
It incorporates a unique blend of highly effective techniques drawn from both Japanese Face Massage & Indian Face and Head Massage. 

The force known as chi is believed to flow through energy centres & meridian lines all over the body affecting health & wellbeing. This facial massage helps to balance these energy centres by using finger pressure on facial meridians and pressure points, helping to release any blockages and releasing the energy flow.

Reflexology
1 Hour Session €50

Reflexology is a natural complementary therapy that works on the basis that all parts of your body have key links to certain areas in your extremities, namely your feet, legs, hands, face and ears. It has existed in some form for thousands of years, with Egyptian and Chinese natural medicine confident of its benefits. 

Throughout the years it has developed as an expert technique and has been recognised in the Western world since the early 20th century. Most commonly, reflexologists focus on using massage and applying pressure to specific parts of your feet with an aim to promote overall well-being throughout the body. Reflexologists believe that you can positively affect organs throughout your body using touch and pressure on its corresponding part in the foot. 

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

1 Hour Session €50
Lymph drainage massage is a very light, slow, rhythmical massage. The intention is to stimulate the lymph vessels that run just below the skin. Lymph drainage massage drains excess fluids from the tissues returning them to the circulatory system.  The lymphatic system is also a vital part of your immune system, meaning lymph drainage massage can stimulate your immune system during and after times of illness. The gentleness of the treatment will lull you into a state of deep calm and relaxation. 

Lymph massage can benefit just about everyone. If you're feeling tired and low on energy, or if you've been sick and feeling like your body is fighting to get back on track, lymph massage would likely serve you well.

In addition surgical patients, fibromyaliga and chronic fatigue sufferers, as well as those wanting a fresh look may want to consider lymphatic massage. Here's why.

Surgical procedures involving lymph node removal--such as breast cancer surgery--can cause limbs to swell. Severe limb swelling needs the attention of a medical team, but in milder cases, lymphatic massage alone may be enough to prevent or even treat the swelling. It’s important that your doctor be involved in your care. Let your doctor know you’d like to see a massage therapist and make sure you have medical approval.


Lymph massage can also be part of a care program for fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Because it's so gentle, it is well tolerated by these patients, who are often experiencing sore trigger points throughout the body. And by encouraging lymph flow and removing waste products, this gentle form of bodywork can help restore immune function and improve vitality.


African Reflexology

1 Hour Session €50

African Reflexology is a gentler form of Reflexology in which the therapist works both feet together.

The intention behind African Reflexology is to bring all the scattered aspects of a person back into the core of their being so that they can experience wholeness again in a completely new way.

Frequently clients have reported it as being "supremely comforting" on one hand and "outright bliss" on the other hand.


The feet reveal how we think, feel about ourselves, how we deliver or go about our daily activities, how we communicate with others and what roles we take on within our families. The feet reveal where we hold our emotions, the direction of life purpose and whether we see life as an adventure or an obligation to others. 


African Reflexology has a beautiful reflective aspect to it too.

It invites you to get in touch with your own inner wisdom, your intuitive self, your own soul/spirit. By working with practices during the course you will deepen into the knowingness of yourself and of your own spiritual self.

It will take you to places inside your own heart where wisdom is revealed, where surrender is a blessing and where peace is ever lasting.


It’s that place within your being where you feel truly at "home with you".

Deep Tissue Full Body Massage
1 Hour Session €50

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, lower back tightness, and sore shoulders. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist  uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen tight muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

Aromatherapy Massage
1 Hour Session €50

Aromatherapy massage is the alternative therapeutic technique which combines the natural therapeutic properties of the essential oils and the healing power of massage therapy. Aromatherapy uses essential oils that promote healing derived from plants to achieve many therapeutic benefits. These oils are the concentrated essences taken from the flowers, fruit, seeds, leaves and bark of certain plants. With the pressure of today's modern society, aromatherapy with its holistic approach to health and wellbeing, can be used to intervene and prevent long term problems occurring. It not only has powerful physical, emotional and mental effects but it is also a great relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The benefits of aromatherapy massage affect a wide range of health conditions of nervous, circulatory, lymphatic, immune and muscular systems. It promotes mental clarity, relaxation, stress and headaches alleviation.

The massage therapist places the hot stones on specific points on your body and may also hold the stones while giving the massage. The localized heat and weight of the stones warm and relax muscles, allowing the massage therapist to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort. This type of hot stone therapeutic treatment is thought to have originated in China almost 2,000 years ago. Since then, the technique of using stones for healing has been used in many different cultures, including the Americas, Africa, Egypt, and India.

Hopi Ear Candling

1 Hour Session €50

Thermo Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-evasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These ear candles can induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.

The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax.

The candles work on a chimney effect, a light suction action and the circulation of vapours. The temperature increase in the ear canal is transmitted through to the rest of the ear, nose and sinuses. This leads to a change in pressure and expansion in these areas leading them to drain and clear.


Reiki Healing

1 Hour Session €50

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
