Evoke Holistic Therapy

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means ‘universal’ and Ki which is ‘life force energy’. So Reiki literally means ‘universal life force energy’.

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by the laying on of hands, and is based on the idea that flowing through our bodies is life force energy, and it is this energy that causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low and unbalanced then we are more likely to get ill or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement.
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.

Do you suffer from Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Reiki can offer relief from these painful, debilitating conditions.

Reiki can also help reduce the side effects of medicines, including those that occur as a result of chemotherapy in cancer treatment.

Here at Evoke Holistic Therapy, you are offered Reiki whilst lying comfortably, fully clothed, on a therapy couch, in a calm and comforting environment.



Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing which has been practiced in India for several thousands of years. It provides Indian families with relaxation and healing on a daily basis, as well as playing a part in rituals such as weddings and births.

The aim of Indian head massage is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.

At Evoke Holistic Therapy, an Indian head massage is given with the client seated for the first part of the massage, to concentrate on the upper back, shoulder, neck and head. The second part of the massage is given with the client comfortably lying face-up on the therapy couch, to concentrate on the neck, head and face areas. A range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas are applied. In addition, I will gently stimulate and stroke pressure points on the face.

Indian head massage helps increase joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension, and also for reducing insomnia, fatigue, headache, migraine and sinusitis.

Pre-treatment and post-treatment consultations are included in treatment times. Initial appointments may last slightly longer (no extra cost).

A 50% cancellation charge will be made for treatments that are not cancelled at least 6 hours before the appointment.

Failure to attend your appointment without prior notification will incur a charge for the full cost of the treatment booked.
