What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient form of therapy, thought to be thousands of years old and believed to have originated from Tibetan Buddhist practice. It was rediscovered in Japan by Mikao Usui in the 1800's. Reiki can be translated to mean universal life force or universal guided energy. It is a natural, safe therapy which positively boosts well-being and complements other medical or therapeutic treatments. There are no religious connotations with Reiki, therefore no belief system is necessary to receive this method of treatment.  Benefits may include deep relaxation and the promotion of a calm peaceful sense of well-being.

How does Reiki work?
You will be asked about your general state of health and if you have any illness and will be asked what you would like the session to achieve and it will give you the opportunity to ask any questions.

This gentle treatment is given over clothing, normally lying down but can be performed sitting. It involves placing hands non-invasively on or above certain points of the body. Reiki energy is channelled and drawn to areas of particular need or imbalance. You may feel a pleasant warmth or heat coming from my hands, the treatment is relaxing and allows you to "let go" of stress and strains. There is a choice of either 30 minutes or 1 hour treatments.

Hopi Ear Candles

Hopi Ear Candle treatment specialistWhat are Hopi Ear Candles?
The historical roots of Hopi Ear Candling, also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy, can be traced back to the Hopi Indians from North and South America. Is a soothing, relaxing and non-invasive treatment of the ears. Ear Candles are made from 100% natural ingredients such as cotton, beeswax, honey extract, sage, St John's wort and camomile which sit at the opening of the ear canal.

The Hopi Candles have many positive benefits and can be used to treat a variety of conditions including:

  • Excessive or compacted wax in the ears
  • Irritation in the ears
  • Sinusitis
  • Tinnitus
  • Hayfever and Rhinitis
  • Calming and relaxing treatment

What a typical treatment session entails
Whilst listening to relaxing music, a lymphatic facial massage is given to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. You will then be asked to lie on alternate sides, where the candle is gently placed into the auditory canal and sits comfortably and safely on top of your ear drum. The candle is then lit and held steadily in the upright position and sinus drainage is encouraged with gentle strokes to improve the benefits of the candles. You will experience an enjoyable crackling sound as the candle burns which is relaxing and soothing. After the candles have been removed you should feel very relaxed with your ears feeling much clearer with more clarity. Treatment lasts for 45 minutes.
