ALSO AVAILABLE AT MY CHESTER PRACTICE
THAI FOOT MASSAGE £25 (ladies only)This is a deeper, more invigorating leg and foot massage which is ideal for clients in need of an energy boost however it may not be suitable for everyone (eg children, the elderly or pregnant women). A special stick can be used for a deep effect on the reflex points of the soles of the foot. Loose trousers need to be worn for this treatment and it is available for women only. The treatment takes up to one hour 15 minutes.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE £18
This is generally a thirty minute treatment carried out with the client sitting in a chair. There is no need to remove clothing and is ideally carried out over a T shirt. The upper arms, shoulders, neck and scalp are massaged. Oil is generally not used. The treatment is especially suitable for people who suffer from neck and shoulder tension, headaches or simply have difficulty in switchig off. IHM can be combined with reflexology or Thai Foot Massage in an hours session.
HOPI EAR CANDLES £28 (includes face massage and mini reflexology)
This is a traditional American Indian treatment inolving the use of hollow candles made of natural cotton which are impregated with beeswax and essential oils. The lit candle is carefully placed in the clients ear and a gentle suction effect takes place. Clients often find it beneficial to help soften ear wax and to clear the nasal passages and sinuses, as well as for general relaxation. The client lies down for this treatment and each candle takes about 10 minutes. The total treatment time including the additional therapies, if required, is one hour but a shorter version is available (£22). Both prices include the cost of the candles.
RELAXATION AND GUIDED VISUALISATION EXERCISES
A deep relaxation exercise can be undertaken either before or after your reflexology treatment. The client ensures they are lying in a comfortable position and I will then talk them through a deep breathing exercise, a muscular relaxation exercise and finally a mental visualisation exercise to calm and quieten the mind. These can also be undertaken on their own for £15. I am in the process of developing this area further and have recently completed a course in relaxation techniques. I am increasingly able to offer more tailor made sessions, for example, for pregnant ladies and those who are trying to conceive.
