A qualified and experienced complimentary therapist working from the therapy room at Nature’s Bounty health-store in Newton Abbot, and offering treatments in:
- Reflexology
- Indian Head Massage
- Facial Acupressure
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an holistic, non-invasive and calming natural therapy based on Chinese and Eastern traditions that benefits the whole body. It is a ‘touch press’ therapy which stimulates reflexes on the feet or hands that associate with different areas, organs and functions of the body. The therapy has been shown to aid relaxation and relieve anxiety and stress, which are known as major causes of illness. Benefits can also include improved circulation and better sleep patterns. Treatment is carried out with the client reclining on a comfortable couch with only shoes and socks removed. Reflexology usually focuses on the feet with treatment that incorporates relaxing foot massage, but Hand Reflexology with hand massage is offered where foot treatment may present difficulty for clients.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
This treatment incorporates a variety of massage movements on shoulders, neck and head together with acupressure and reflexology techniques on face and ears to relieve muscle tension and provide deep relaxation. It can also stimulate circulation, relieve anxiety and stress, ease joint stiffness, provide relief from headache and aid facial lymphatic drainage. Treatment is given with the client seated, ideally in a loose or a vest top, or with top removed, to allow easy access to neck, shoulders and upper arms. Please bear in mind that organic oils are used during treatment and will be massaged into scalp and hair. The oils can be beneficial for dry hair, but you may want to postpone washing your hair until after your treatment.

FACIAL ACUPRESSURE
This therapy involves gentle massage of the shoulders, neck and scalp, and the stimulation of Chinese acupressure points on the face which benefits the whole body. Treatment is deeply relaxing and works to ease tension and support emotional and stress relief. It can aid circulation, reduce tension headaches, tension in the jaw, sleep issues, improve lymphatic drainage, and stimulate collagen production, which is associated with rejuvenation of the skin and underlying structures. Treatment incorporates a face cleanse using organic products, a warm towel face-wrap, and a facial massage with natural oils. It is carried out with the client reclining on a couch and wearing a loose top or with top removed, to allow access to the area above the pectoral muscles and around the clavicle.
Initial treatments include a confidential consultation covering medical issues, general health and lifestyle details.
