Energetic Massage Therapy (EMT) is a holistic therapy, which promotes a sense of balance and harmony. It helps maintain good health and well-being by treating the body, mind, emotions and spirit as one entity. With every treatment (unless contra-indicated) I use a Jade Stone healing heat pad which enhances the benefits of my massage enormously. Clients have found amazing relief from aches and pains for days after treatments. The combination of the power of touch, infra-red heat and the ancient healing properties of jade stones ensures that a 'Time for You' treatment is one of the most relaxing and beneficial gifts you can give yourself. Time for You treatments encourage self-healing, relaxation and tension release through breathing techniques, visualisation and the power of touch. EMT works on the body’s soft tissue and muscles by gently, yet firmly, stroking, kneading and stimulating them. All of the body’s systems react in a positive way from the inner-most cells of the nervous system through to the circulatory, muscular, skeletal, respiratory and lymphatic systems.
The treatment is very subtle but can have significant impact. The emotional and energetic balance EMT provides is just as vital and valuable as the more tangible, and immediate, physical benefits. Pre-treatment consultations are designed to raise clients’ awareness of how they are living their lives and changes are discussed, often very simple, that can be incorporated into everyday life to bring about improved health and vitality. Clients are frequently reminded that we are "human beings, not human do-ings". Information and guidance on diet and nutrition is an integral part of each treatment. Candlelight, soothing music and a very safe environment creates an oasis of calm and tranquility during a Time for You treatment. Balancing the body’s natural energy or lifeforce (chi) through the chakra system is the most important element of TfY treatments. This is achieved through both hands-on and hands-off body work, connection with spirit and an intention for the session. Just one session can unblock stagnated or blocked energy resulting in subtle, but important, changes to a client's life. Crystals are placed on various chakras for additional and specific stimulation, if required. During the initial consultation, I take a detailed case history to build a life-style profile. This includes medical history, diet, stress levels, sleep, thought and reactive behavioural patterns. This case history also identifies any contra-indications to massage that may exist. I provide on-going support between treatments and I refer clients to other complementary therapists as approrpriate. |
