They are the concentrated essence of the plant and have properties which will relax, stimulate, and rejuvenate the body and mind. Most Aromatherapy treatments focus on using massage to let the oils enter the bloodstream. The massage is flowing and generally relaxing. Although this will vary on each client and what they require at the time. Jane uses a form of massage which incorporates various elements of Swedish, Thai and holistic massage. After your massage you are left with a deep sense of well-being which may last several days. It is recommended that you make aromatherapy a part of your regular life style. A massage every 3 weeks can help you focus, give you a sense of self. Each time you come for a massage your body will recognise that it has a chance to fully relax and you will gain more each time to come. Suggestion points:

Our Reiki practitioners are Jane Tilton. HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathic Remedies originate from a huge variety of plant, animal and mineral sources. They cure by stimulating the body's natural healing energy, or vital force, to bring it back into healthy balance. They can be used simply to target specific symptoms, or to tackle chronic disease on a deeper level. The remedies can be safely used alongside prescribed medication or to gradually reduce the need for drugs such as anti-depressants, HRT and steroids. It is also an effective alternative to many drugs such as antibiotics. A consultation takes about an hour and involves a detailed discussion of your medical condition and health history. From this information you will be given appropriate homeopathic medicines to take. Consultations are initially a month apart, but may be more or less frequent depending on your needs. Our Homeopathy practitioner is Julia Linfoot COUNSELLING
Counselling provides the opportunity to explore personal issues in a private, confidential and non-judgemental setting. This ‘talking therapy' may be used to focus on a specific difficulty or problems or may be used to develop personal growth. The counsellor meets with the ‘client' on a regular basis (usually weekly), working to help them gain a greater self-awareness of their thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The process can empower them to find ways of managing their own lives in a more effective and satisfying way. The range of issues that counselling helps with includes:
The first session will be an opportunity for you and the counsellor to begin to get to know each other and to talk about your hopes and expectations of the counselling. If you feel comfortable with the counsellor and would like book some sessions, it is helpful to agree an initial number, say of six, and then review. It can be surprising how much can be achieved in a few sessions! However, you might decide to continue counselling so that you can work at more depth. You can discuss this together and you choose. If you are considering counselling and would like to discuss this or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Our Counsellors are Derek Mason and Silvia Baba Neal PsychotherapyIf you recognize in yourself patterns of feeling, thinking and behaviour which cause you severe distress and difficulties in relationships, and if these patterns seem to go a long way back, then psychotherapy would be a more appropriate treatment of choice. These “stubborn” inflexible ways of being in the world are hard to break with positive thinking and willpower alone. In psychotherapy we can look at: Childhood loss and trauma Self-aggression, self-blame Dealing with change Lack of assertiveness in relationships and at work Becoming more independent and responsible Tapping into personal creativity Feelings of worthlessness and chronic self-doubt Psychotherapy requires significant commitment of time (at least six months). It involves looking at the fuller picture, such as childhood experience and trauma, uncovering "lost" aspects of the Self, and reintegrating these. We may choose to meet more than once a week, if we decide that a more sustained intensity of work is necessary, or if you are at risk of suicide, self harm or harm to others. Our psychotherapist is Silvia Baba Neal KINESIOLOGY
Working with the body's own intelligence the practitioner identifies what the body wants and in what order it wants to be treated. By stimulating the body's natural healing responses through massage, acupressure, nutrition, flower essences, and positive statements the body will respond. This is why Kinesiology is so beneficial in treating conditions that have remained stubborn for years. As a therapy it provides the perfect balance between Western and Eastern therapies. It uses acupuncture meridians, homeopathy, flower essences as well as the latest nutritional developments and principle of NLP. Your first treatment will last 1 ½ hours and treatments thereafter are 50 minutes. Nutrition is often an important part of your well being and this will be supplied as a separate cost. Invest in your health Kinesiology can help you develop your full potential – emotionally, physically and mentally. Would you like to take a fresh look at :
Kinesiology can help you identify what your body needs. The programme will consist of 6 treatments at fortnightly intervals, with suggestions for 'homework'.

Aromatherapy is the art of using essential oils to help the mind, body and spirit recover its balance and harmony. This makes it easier for the body to heal itself. 
The principle behind reflexology is that the body is mapped out on the feet. This enables the therapist to pin-point various areas that require work. 
A very relaxing treatment, ideal when times of deep emotional relaxation are needed. 
Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that can treat any form of illness on all levels; physical, mental and emotional. It can address the many different causes of ill-health such as toxicity, organ weaknesses, allergies, inherited tendencies and emotional factors, thus bringing about deep and lasting healing. Many people chose Homeopathy because it is not harmful, it is sensitive to individual needs, and of course, because it works. 
Simple things can put our bodies out of balance: A pulled muscle, not enough water, a food that aggravates the digestive, or a negative emotion. These can all build up to where the body is always out of balance and so has to compensate to avoid harming itself.
