Massage Therapy is the physical manipulation of soft tissues, connective tissues and the nervous system to release areas of restriction and facilitate healing. With training in various massage techniques (such as: Swedish/Relaxation, Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Pre-natal/Post-natal and Infant with additional techniques such as Myofacial Release, Cupping Therapy, IASTM, and Kinesiology Taping), I am able to provide personalised treatments tailored to your specific needs.

Aromatherapy is described as the art and science of utilising naturally occurring aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonise and promote health of the body, mind and spirit via topical use or inhalation.

What are essential oils?
Essential oils are concentrated volatile, non-oily aromatic liquids which occur naturally in various parts of plants. They are composed of hundreds of different chemical components that vary from plant to plant. Each plant's unique combination of chemical components brings a unique set of healing benefits. Via topical use, essential oils are able to penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, accessing our circulatory and lymphatic systems rapidly. By inhaling essential oils, they are also able to go directly to the brain via the olfactory nerve and respiratory system, bringing their therapeutic properties where it is needed the most.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a holistic Japanese healing technique to promote relaxation, balance and health.
Rei- Spiritual Wisdom; a deep understanding and wisdom of the world around us.
Ki- Life Energy; the vital life force or the universal life energy that is present in everyone and everything.

The practice of Reiki is the use of Ki, guided by spiritual consciousness via various hand placements (placed either on or over the body) with the intention to restore, balance, and heal. Reiki energy can never do harm and always works for the highest good for each individual.

In one-on-one yoga sessions, we work together to create yoga sequences that are customised to the clients specific needs. I am trained in a verity of styles including, vinyasa, yin, restorative, pre/postnatal, children's yoga, mindful movement, and meditation! The sessions can be focused on targeting specific body imbalances, overall mobility, flexibility and strength, relaxation, meditation, breathwork or more. Different styles of yoga can be used to benefit one or more of the focuses listed above.

We not only hear sound, we experience it physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Sound Healing is a holistic practice that uses soothing tones and frequencies (from instruments such as chimes, tibetan and/or crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, drums or even the voice) to bring your body and mind into a deep state of relaxation. Within this deep state of relaxation, the body is able to facilitate healing and balance.

as of right now Sound Healing can be incorporated into another session such as Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Yoga, and/or Reiki session.
