Bowen Therapy and Massage

Massage

I’ve been assisting people with various health issues since the late 80s. Your body responds to touch, prompting the release of endorphins – the brain chemical that produces feelings of wellbeing.

Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissue of the body and is one the oldest health care practises known to history with references found in Chinese medical texts dating back as far as 4 thousand years. Most of us have a massage because we are suffering pain somewhere in our body with many people think it is age related and that nothing can be done to resolve the problem. Invariably the first massage brings about a feeling of relaxation and with it a “letting go” of tension. It may take a few sessions depending on how long a  particular issue has been with you.

What to expect during a massage

My room is air-conditioned for your comfort and towels are heated. On your first visit, you are encouraged to share anything that is relevant to your health that may be bothering you, physically or emotionally. Naturally this information is extremely helpful and is absolutely confidential. Essential oil blends are individually prepared and have therapeutic qualities that work on a deep level during and after your treatment. Massage therapy is the tactile movement of soft tissue which eases the discomfort of injuries, strains and accidents, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to work more effectively.
