Swedish Body or Classic Massage

This can be quite a firm massage, with the movements beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. The Swedish/Classic massage system includes long smooth strokes (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), friction (cross fiber) and rhythmic tapping (tapotement) all of which work to relax tired and aching muscles whilst encouraging the flow of blood and lymph and enhancing skin tone. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain & joint stiffness.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy Massage is a much gentler form of massage which incorporates aromatherapy oils into carrier or base oil for the massage. Aromatherapy is a wonderful system of treating the body holistically with specific oils i.e. peppermint oil is stimulating therefore a good aid to concentration when studying for example; it is also useful for pain relief such as headaches or migraines. Black pepper oil is very warming and can help those with arthritis or, muscle or nerve pain due to its analgesic and anti inflammatory properties. The classic relaxation oil is lavender which is a first aid kit in a bottle! This almost magical oil is wonderful to help relieve headaches, aid sleep or soothing if applied directly to a burn or an insect sting or bite.

Indian Head massage or Champissage

This massage concentrates on the head, neck, back and shoulders. There are some fifty four different ‘movements’ in Indian Head Massage although not all are used at any one treatment. This treatment can leave you feeling quite ‘spaced out’ and it’s advisable to sit quietly for a few minutes and drink a glass of water before leaving the treatment room. This treatment sometime incorporates an oil treatment in the hair and scalp.

Hot Stone Massage
This is a deeply relaxing treatment using hot or cold stones to massage with, depending on the therapeutic needs of the client. The heat from the stones sinks into the body to relieve aches and pains. For a luxurious touch you can add custom blended aromatherapy oils for £5, making your treatment even more personal.

Hopi Ear Candling or Thermal-auricular therapy

A treatment consisting of placing a ‘candle’ usually made of cloth which has been soaked in special waxes and oils, just inside the ear. The candle is about eight inches long. This is held in place gently by the therapist and lit. As it burns, it vibrates gently in the ear helping to loosen any wax and rebalances the ear. It is a treatment recommended for sinus problems, tinnitus and ear problems post flying amongst many others. It is very relaxing and can be followed by an additional, gentle face and head massage.

Reiki
Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique which can reduce stress, relax you and also promote healing. 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. It is mainly a ‘hands off’ treatment. No two people feel the same sensations when receiving Reiki, there is no set pattern or ‘way it should work’. It is deeply soothing and can be very physically and mentally emotional.

Nail Nibblers Course By Hils Davis
This course is aimed at people who suffer from Onychophagia or nail biting!! This is a course of manicures as a treatment, costing £95. This is payable at £35 on week 1 & £30 on weeks 3 & 6. (3 weekly & 3 fortnightly appointments). This is a course (to the best of my knowledge) unique to me and Time Out Therapies. The principal of it is that you if you pay in advance for the treatments you will keep the appointments and your nails will grow as you are coming back to see me on a regular basis. It has worked very successfully for several clients in the past.

Paraffin Wax Treatments By Hils Davis
This is a treatment which uses a soft paraffin wax which has a low melting point. The liquid wax is applied either directly to the skin with a brush, spray or strips of special paper are dipped into it and it is applied like a bandage. This is a wonderful treatment to use as part of a luxury manicure routine or post massage on the back for example to keep the massaged area warm and supple, particularly if the muscles are tight or knotted. Paraffin wax is available unscented or with the addition of lavender, tea tree or other scents.

Callus Peel Treatment By Hils Davis
This is a treatment which is used to get your feet ready for the Summer and holidays! A skin soft peel ‘patch’ is applied to the callused area of your feet and left to soak for fifteen minutes, the product on the patch soaks into the hard skin build up on your feet, softening the callused area which can then be removed with a custom scraper. The area is then buffed with a file and moisturiser is applied to finish.
