Therapies
What are Holistic Therapies?
Holistic Therapies, also known as Complementary Therapies are treatments which harness the power of nature and your own body. They aim to restore balance within the body systems so that your own ability to heal is accessed. The Therapist will always consider the client as a whole rather than a set of separate physical or emotional problems.
A course of treatments starts with an in-depth health and lifestyle questionnaire to allow the therapist to establish a rounded picture of the client's issues and ensure that any treatments are not only safe and appropriate for them, but also most suited to their individual needs.
For example a client may book a Reflexology treatment for help with the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but during the consultation it becomes apparent that the client also suffers from headaches from long hours of working at a computer. The therapist may then recommend of course of treatment which also includes Indian Head Massage to help with the tension in the neck, head and shoulders.
All Therapies starting at £50 p/h
Your First Appointment
On your first appointment you will be taken through an in depth health and life style consultation. Please bring any information about medication you are taking or details of any other therapy you are under taking and contact details of your therapist or medical health practitioner. I may seek permission to treat you from your other health professionals if appropriate. Please allow an extra 15-30 minutes for this consultation.
It's advisable to wear loose comfortable clothing for your treatment. If you are having a back, neck and shoulder treatment you may get oil in your hair so don't go to the hairdressers before coming along!
Treatment Plan
You will achieve maximum results from Holistic Therapies by receiving regular treatments. It is generally accepted that in some cases it can take up to 3 treatments to really start to feel the benefits. I aim to develop a treatment plan with you which suits your availability and your needs, this will be supported with home care advice to extend the effects of your treatment.
Costs
To simplify the costs of treaments I charge a very competitive £50 per hour for all my therapies. Minimum charge of £50.
Aftercare Advice
After a treatment I will discuss with you how your body might feel and give you some guide lines to follow. As a minimum this will always comprise of increasing your intake of fluids, preferably water, juice or herbal tea, and avoiding stimulants such as coffee, alcohol and nicotine.
You may feel relaxed and sleepy, or you may feel energised and this can vary from treatment to treatment depending on the individual and how they feel on the day. The important thing is be aware of how your body is responding to the treatment and react accordingly. So rest if you feel tired and allow yourself to do more if you feel energetic.
