It's a very blustery day out there, and although fairly warm under the wind, the chill is coming!  So if you feel your cold weather aches and pains starting to return now is the time to get your regular massage session booked in.

Research has shown that massage and/or Reiki can help us to manage anxiety and depression. It can soothe feelings of anxiety and depression by reducing cortisol levels.  Research has also shown that the same increase in delta waves, which can help to improve sleep, can also promote feelings of relaxation.  Not hard to see the link there.  This then decreases the brain waves that can induce anxiety.

The healing power of touch is undeniable.  Our need for human touch is exactly what makes us human.  And a massage is a simple and effective way of inducing all these healing benefits.  And if you feel good and at peace with yourself it naturally makes your world an easier place to be.  Your friends and family will notice you are different, happier, more comfortable in your skin.

Thai foot massage is wonderful for all seasons and will really come into its own as the seasons change.

I live in flip flops through the summer and many of you will know I like to work barefoot!  So this time of year, as the weather changes, I find it hard to 'cage' my feet in shoes on a daily basis.  If you're like me, Thai foot massage may help your feet with this transition by giving it some loving care...

Thai foot massage works the tops of the feet and the soles of the feet with warming massage strokes that really encourage blood flow.  We then work more in-depth into the soles of the feet.  Similarly to reflexology, Thai foot massage aims to stimulate the internal organs of the body via the reflex points of the feet.  The massage also works along the energy (sen) lines of the feet and lower legs to balance and harmonise the flow of energy around the body. 

Sen lines are invisible channels that allow energy to flow throughout the body. This stimulation of the internal organs and the energy lines is intended to facilitate the body’s normal functions and by doing so the body remains healthy.  And it really feels amazing too - re energising you as a whole.

The session ends with relaxing foot wrapping to leave you feeling cosy and nurtured.

I was diagnosed with severe asthma at 17 and suddenly I couldn't leave the house without my inhaler.  Thankfully I am now not so reliant on medication.  In fact, in the last three years I have taken up running and even though my breathing will always be my weak area, I now refer to myself as a 'recovering asthmatic' rather than labelling myself asthmatic.  But 'disease labels' are a topic for another day.

If you would rather live without medication get in touch with me.  Whether through Reiki, massage or Homeopathy, let's see what difference we can make to your life.  Call Leslie on 07871 697000 for a chat or click 'BOOK NOW' below.  You can have a 15 minute consultation in person, by phone or by Skype to see what approach would work for you.  Speak soon....
