The everyday fast pace of our modern lives makes it increasingly important to look after our health. A massage creates a window of time to unwind and let go of the stresses and strains of our hard working week.
The blend of deeply relaxing massage and soothing sounds encourage one to drift into a profound level of relaxation. (In addition, if essential oils are also used the sumptuous aromas add yet another layer of healing.)
During a massage, carrier oils (with the additions of essential oils - aromatherapists only) are applied to the skin and worked into the body, using massage techniques focused upon relaxing or stimulating the nervous system. The massage relaxes tight muscles, clears blocked tissue and releases toxins into the lymphatic system for the body to excrete.
The nervous system communicates with the internal organs, glands, nerves and circulatory system. The effect can be stimulating or calming - depending upon the type of massage/oils used and the needs of the individual receiving the treatment.
Where essential oils are used (blended in a carrier oil), these are compatible with the basic structure of the skin, penetrating it layer by layer - moisturising it, making it more supple and stimulating the production of new cells.
Having attained and honed your core massage techniques, further skills can be added to use within your massage sessions. E.g. facials, many remedial techniques, learning to work with your client's breath, foot and hand reflexes and much more.
Regular massages are proven to be a truly effective method of maintaining wellness. Carefully chosen techniques target the various communication systems that are inherent within every one of us, re-establishing the equilibrim needed for balancing our health.
