Stress is indeed a big problem for everyone these days, and massage is a way to eliminate that stress. People who are "big exercisers" also need to give their bodies a break. In today's fast track world we need to give ourselves a focused time to relax. You can’t avoid all stress, but you can counteract its negative effects by evoking the anti-stress response, a state of deep rest that is the polar opposite of the stress response. 

The stress response floods your body with chemicals that prepare you for “fight or flight.” But while the stress response is helpful in true emergency situations where you must be alert, it wears your body down when constantly activated. The anti-stress response brings your system back into balance: deepening your breathing, reducing stress hormones, slowing down your heart rate and blood pressure, and relaxing your muscles.

In addition to its calming physical effects, research shows that the anti-stress response also increases energy and focus, combats illness, relieves aches and pains, heightens problem solving abilities, and boosts motivation and productivity. Plain and simple, the effects of stress on the body can be extremely detrimental. When a muscle is stressed, circulation is reduced and both oxygen and nutrients are blocked. Our Anti-Stress Massage is a terrific way to loosen up the muscles, increase the circulation and bring oxygen and nutrients back to the area. It may also release stored toxins, so it's important to flush out your system by drinking water after a treatment.

Our Anti-Stress Massage will allow you time to unwind, calm down and refocus in a peaceful environment that nutures healing. This treatment focuses on the full body and aims to improve physical, mental and emotional well-being.

This massage is aimed at the person who is feeling run down, possibly demotivated, has little "get up and go" energy. The aim of the treatment is to awaken the various sytems in the body and in turn kick start them into action and to restore the motivation. This is a fast paced massage that will get the circulatory system moving at a faster pace and in turn motivate the toxins to leave the body.

The Hopi, the oldest Pueblo people with great medicinal knowledge and a high degree of spirituality, brought this knowledge to Europe. The vapours are inhaled through the nose and into the lungs, where their therapeutic properties are circulated around the body via the blood. Many of the constituents of the candles have properties that calm and soothe the nervous system and also have the effect of lifting depression and promoting a "feel good factor". The ear candling treatment is enhanced by a massage to the face, neck, scalp and ears which includes pressure points, lymphatic drainage and gentle friction. This will stimulate energy, promote the circulation of lymph and blood, assist in the drainage of the sinuses as well as calming and soothing the nervous system.
