AROMATIC BODY MASSAGE Ina Thompson Essential oils have been extracted from various plants, trees, and flowers since ancient times.  Oils can stimulate or calm the emotions, alleviate tensions, and fight infection, each oil having a distinctive therapeutic property.  Small quantities are blended together to reflect the patient’s mental and physical health.  Oils are applied during a massage that is enjoyable, effective and suitable for all ages.  It is fast becoming the most popular complementary therapy available today. CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE Niki Oates MA, MBAcC, RCHM This safe and effective form of medicine has developed in China over thousands of years, and is used there alongside acupuncture, exercise, dietary therapy and Western medicine. Chinese herbs can help most conditions, although they are best known in the UK in the treatment of skin problems. People of all ages can benefit from herbal treatment, including children, as prescriptions can be tailored to individual needs as powders, pills, teas or tinctures. Dosages are also personalised so side effects are rare.  COUNSELLING Sue Stevens CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY Justine Rees Ed Edwards BA, RCST, MTI Craniosacral (CST) therapy is a safe and gentle way of addressing day to day stresses and strains and more deep-seated problems in a person’s system. This therapy appeals to the patient’s own system to know how it should be at its optimum and uses that as a guide. CST works on all levels of a person’s being - physical, emotional and spiritual – and can help with back problems, headaches, ear problems, digestive disorders to name a few. It can also be of great benefit to babies and children. All that is required from the patient is total relaxation. HOMOEOPATHY Gillian John A very popular and medically recognised therapy, Homoeopathy is based on the principle “like cures like”.  The Homoeopath will take a comprehensive case history in order to build up a complete picture of the patient.  Minute quantities of natural substances are then prescribed, which could, in large doses produce similar symptoms to the patient’s condition. These stimulate the body’s intrinsic ability to heal itself.  The remedies are non-invasive, safe and can be highly effective. HYPNO-PSYCHOTHERAPIST Carmen Power Bsc(hons),CRAH,ITEC The practise of hypno-psychotherapy uses hypnosis as a tool for psychotherapeutic purposes. Using an altered state of awareness through deep relaxation it can enable people to tap into their own resources and potential achieving therapeutic changes. Hypnotherapies work with the belief system of the patient and can only support and reinforce changes, which they have consciously chosen to make. It can help with stress, anxiety, lack of confidence and mental/emotional trauma, or improve motivation, creativity and fitness.  Deep and lasting changes can be made comparatively quickly and easily.

Therapeutic massage involves the healing sense, sensitivity of touch, insight and tuition. It is a unique way of communicating, sharing energy, enjoying pleasurable relaxation, and experiencing peace of mind.  Massage is often attributed to promoting ethereal spiritual effects, akin to those of mediation.
