DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

The most vigorous form of massage, deep tissue massage uses firm pressure to identify where your body is storing most tension. Kath will apply a series of precise and static pressures to any knots that may have formed in your body over time. Using a series of lighter strokes to drain the toxins towards your lymph nodes, the massage creates a rush of blood to introduce new oxygen and nutrients into your muscles. Most patients also experience a release of endorphins, a pleasant sensation that’s also the body’s natural pain killer.

This deeply relaxing and restorative treatment will improve body function and eliminate toxins.

THAI FOOT MASSAGE

Thai Foot Massage is a combination of massage, stretching and compression techniques applied to the lower legs and feet that originated in Thailand over 2000 years ago to ‘open’ energy lines.  A stick is used to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body, thus resulting in general health and well-being.  The techniques that are used have been developed from traditional Thai massage and have elements of Shiatsu, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine incorporated within them.  The core belief behind Thai Foot Massage is that there are ten major energy lines running through the body from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.  These lines end in pressure points on the feet and it is these points that are manipulated to remove blockages and improve the energy flow around the body.

Kath will use a specialised, lit candle to create a light suction effect in your ears. The soothing treatment concludes with a pressure-point massage and gentle strokes on the face.

THAI HERBAL COMPRESS MASSAGE

Originating from Thailand and said to date back 5000 years the herbal compresses contain numerous herbs which are tightly bound in fabric then steamed until hot.  The heat from the compresses aid the pores to open and allow the herbs to take effect when pressed, pounded and stroked all over the body, soothing muscles and stimulating the vital organs and senses.

SKIN PEEL

A skin peel is one of the most popular anti-aging non-invasive treatments available.  It helps with fine lines, uneven skin tone and texture, pigmentation and photo-damage.  The 40% glycolic acid penetrates the upper layer of the skin, weakening the binding properties that hold the dead skin cells together.  This action allows the layer of dead skin cells to dissolve, revealing the underlying skin.  It leaves the skin feeling soft, clean and revitalised.

Recommended course of treatment:
1 treatment every week for 4 weeks, then 1 treatment every 2 weeks for a month, then 1 treatment every 4 weeks (as appropriate).

Maintenance:
Once every 12 weeks or as and when required.
