Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to address psychological and physical conditions. Our sessions help overcome phobias, manage chronic pain, and reduce anxiety. Clients receive audio recordings for reinforcement, with proven success in dental phobia treatment and stress management.
Reflexology
Reflexology applies pressure to specific points on feet and hands to promote systemic healing. This evidence-based practice improves circulation, reduces stress, and alleviates chronic conditions. Sessions integrate seamlessly with other therapies for enhanced treatment outcomes through holistic stimulation.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal remedies in tinctures, teas, and creams treat acute and chronic conditions. Formulated according to individual needs, these natural solutions address hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and skin conditions. Treatments combine traditional knowledge with modern scientific understanding of plant-based medicine.
Indian Head Massage
This seated upper-body massage improves blood circulation, relieves tension headaches, and reduces stress. Using rhythmic movements on head, neck, and shoulders, it provides quick relaxation benefits while addressing musculoskeletal discomfort through traditional Indian techniques.
Food Intolerance Testing
Applied kinesiology identifies food intolerances through muscle response testing. This non-invasive method detects dietary triggers for chronic symptoms like bloating and fatigue. Personalised elimination plans help manage digestive issues and improve overall energy levels through targeted nutritional adjustments.
