****PRICE LIST, ABOUT ME and the DIFFERENT TYPES OF MASSAGE AND SKIN THERAPIES PROVIDED AND THEIR BENEFITS****

I founded my massage business in 1999 initially gaining experience providing massage to family and friends. Once I became proficient I then set up my business as a part time interest. By keeping up to date with training, and learning new therapies, I have an established and regular client base which has grown through personal recommendations.
I provide massage and facial skin care therapies to help restore well-being and work from my own therapy room tucked away in a mini woodland area of my garden. This setting ensures privacy and peace and quiet to enjoy the full benefit of your chosen therapy.

I also work with younger and older people providing massage therapy and armchair exercise in residential and dementia care homes settings.

*MASSAGE THERAPY*

Massage has many benefits and is often chosen for deep relaxation. However, massage offers many other benefits which include:

• reducing feelings of stress and tension
• easing stiffness and increasing flexibility
• calming and relaxing the nervous system
• improving the circulation of blood
• removing aches and pains
• improving muscle and skin tone
• aiding breathing through relaxation
• improving lymphatic drainage which
assists in removing toxins from the body
and reducing the appearance of cellulite
• making you feel vibrant and energetic -
enhancing the feeling of overall well-being
• promotes feelings of calmness and
reduces anxiety levels

*What to expect at your first visit*
The first therapy will consist of a free consultation when a medical and overall history of your needs will be taken. If you have a medical condition that is complex, we may need to consult your GP to ensure they are in agreement before your chosen therapy can be carried out.

Once the chosen therapy is carried out and completed you will be given time to enjoy the treatment and come out of the relaxed state you would have experienced.

*After-care*
Following the completion of your chosen massage /therapy, advice and after-care information will be given to ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your therapy.

*Massage for Relaxation and Well-being*
Massage actually speeds up the natural healing process by creating a calming of the mind and settling of emotions; aiding healing and modern day stresses (including sitting exams) that cause backache, headaches and migraines, constipation, fluid retention (swollen ankles and legs), lack of energy, poor skin tone, emotional distress and feelings of fear, anger and frustration.

*Massage for Illness*
Healthcare systems throughout the world recognise that massage can play an important role in treating illness. In particular, holistic therapies that include massage have been of significant help; especially in connection with disease caused by personal stresses and associated with modern day living, that cause discomfort and personal distress.
Massage can help this state by relieving the discomfort caused by inflammation which diverts the blood supply to a specific area. Stimulation of the blood supply will relieve congested areas of pressure. Regular massage also has proven benefits in supporting the well-being in those persons suffering from asthma and related breathing difficulties through the use of specific massage techniques.

*Massage and Older Age*
Massage is particularly valuable as a therapy for problems that are associated with rising age. Reduced mobility, arthritis, poor circulation, aches, pains and stiffness all benefit from a massage therapy. Regular massage provides the toning and relaxing benefits which will enable older adults to continue their active interests more comfortably and confidently. Massage in older age is comforting and reassuring for those persons who have become isolated through loss of relationships. Hand massage is a particularly soothing therapy for an older person and those suffering with memory loss and dementia.

*Massage for Injury*
Massage has now become established as an effective therapy for sports persons and dancers. Regular massage strengthens and tones the entire body mechanism; helping to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might occur due to excessive tension and any resulting structural weakness. Massage helps to reduce muscle tightness and soreness after strenuous activity and restore the muscle group. Those person’s involved in manual and physical activities such as running, building, hairdressing and gardening work find massage useful in easing tightness and aches and pains.

Massage therapies can be tailored to suit specific needs and preferences. This will enable you to enjoy your own personal therapy programme, maximising the benefits massage provides to the body and mind.
