Reflexology and Holistic Treatments
Reflexology
Reflexology is a specific kind of foot massage based on the principle that energy lines link the feet to various parts of the body and that the whole body can be treated by working on the feet. By working on particular parts of the feet a qualified practitioner may detect the parts of the body which are out of balance and not working correctly.
The reflexologist applies pressure from the thumbs and sometimes the fingers. The treatment is usually very pleasant and extremely relaxing. Occasionally a little discomfort may be felt but this is usually fleeting. Reflexology relaxes the patient whilst working to stimulating the body's own healing mechanisms. It is one of the most natural of all the complimentary therapies.
Each treatment takes approximately one hour. At the initial consultation the reflexologist will discuss the client's lifestyle, diet and medical history and the number of treatments will depend upon the individual's needs.

Hopi Ear Candle Therapy
Ear candles can be traced back many thousands of years in Asia, North and South America. The Hopi tribe of Arizona are said to be responsible for bringing the knowledge of ear candle treatment to Europe.
The "candles" are thin, usually made from honey extract or beeswax and often containing essential oils, with a filter. A candle is carefully inserted into each ear and lit. The healing properties of the ear candle work in two ways; the pressure inside the ear candle and the vibration of the rising air works like a chimney, which massages the ear drum and promotes secretion of the frontal and paranasal sinuses. This has an immediate effect of regulating ear pressure. Secondly the warmth stimulates vascularisation, invigorates the immune system and stimulates lymph flow.
A face massage is performed after the ear candles are removed which stimulates acupuncture points and reflex zones. Following the massage each ear candle is opened so that the therapist can examine the contents which can be an indication of the condition of the ears.

“I’ve been having reflexology for nine years. It really helps me out and has helped with my sinus problems. Linda is a kind and bubbly person who makes you feel at ease and relaxed as soon as you meet her. I often feel cold after my treatment.
