Craniosacral & Manual Osteopathy Treatments
Craniosacral therapy  and manual osteopathy are both very gentle non-invasive healing systems which bridge the gap between energy work and structural body work. 
The body has a rhythm, a subtle yet palpable wave-like fluctuation of cerebral spinal fluid, whose dynamics are intimately related to the functioning of the central nervous system.
Trauma, whether it is habitual postural strain, systematic imbalance, disease, injuries (falls, whiplash, etc.), psychological/emotional stress or a difficult birth process, can have a long term negative effect on all systems.
This can manifest as an impaired joint, sutural of bone movement, myofascial restriction, reduced flow of cerebral spinal fluid and a weakened imbalanced rhythm.
Eventually this leads to chronic pain and dysfunction.
The craniosacral system, and in particular cerebral spinal fluid, is imbued with an innate intelligent energy which is always seeking to restore harmony and balance in the body.
In treatment, a safe and supportive approach will be created in which the client's body  can tell its story of imbalance and/or disharmony so that the body and its systems can be encouraged along a healing path. All systems are addressed as needed.
Through respectful listening and by using light touch, the tissues of the body are followed so that they can unravel, unwind and realign in their own unique expression of release.
This results in a therapeutic release as the tissues soften and become more elastic, improving fluid circulation and allowing the rhythm to become noticeably stronger and more potent.
The client will often experience symptomatic relief, greater mental clarity and a deep spiritual calm.
Not uncommonly, treatments also help facilitate greater insight into one's issues and life process, thereby empowering clients to make positive changes in their lives. 
Treatments are effective for people of all ages.

Reflexology Treatments  
Reflexology is a focused pressure technique. Reflexes are stimulated by applying pressure to reflex areas and zones that correspond with specific organs, glands and other parts of the body. When these reflexes are stimulated, the body's natural energy works along the nervous system to release and clear any blockages in the corresponding zone.  The benefits of reflexology are:  
1.Relaxation with the removal of stress    
2.Enhanced circulation  
3.Assists the body to normalize metabolisms naturally  
4.Compliments all other healing modalities.
Reflexology sessions effective for people of all ages.  
A complete session is performed on both feet. Using a firm pressure, the reflexes are worked according to the client's requirements.  
Stress removal is the first priority followed by enhancing circulation.
