• Swedish Massage more vigorous to stimulate
• A deep massage for stiff, tense and sore muscles
• Hot Stone Massage this is extremely relaxing and very soothing while getting in deep with the stones
• Sports Injury massage for those problem areas that seem like they will never go away
• Pregnancy Massage to relax and relieve the tiredness and heaviness associated with pregnancy

Reiki

This is a healing treatment where the earth’s energies are channelled through the hands to balance the energy of the body and encourage healing and promote good health.

Reflexology

This is a treatment which is usually done on the feet, but can be done on the hands. It is believed that all of the organs and systems of the body are reflected in the feet. Hence working on the feet stimulates all of the organs of the body to balance naturally. This promotes general well being and good health.

Sports Injury

Maria offer sports imjury treatment using specialised techniques to release tension in muscles following a specific injury or very localised tension or muscle spasm/strain. This helps athletics and fitness enthusiasts get back to full strength and fitness.
