Therapies

I use natural and organic products where possible. I have been treating men, women and children with a huge variety of symptoms and conditions since 2002. I am delighted to offer customised, natural, adapted and inclusive treatments specific to your unique physical and emotional needs. 

Visit me in my home-based, ground-floor treatment room in Strensall, (not wheelchair accessible due to 2 big steps in at both the front and back door.)

Or enquire about a treatment in your own home or holiday cottage near York. I can treat people in their wheelchairs, profiling beds, or on chairs or stools to suit your needs.

You can pick a treatment to suit, or we can discuss your issues and agree a treatment plan from the following therapies;

Natural face-lift massage.

An hour of facial rejuvenation including massage techniques, acupressure points to face and scalp, hot flannels and natural products, all or many of which are organic.

This facial massage targets dry, rough skin, fine lines, first signs of ageing, reduces redness and stimulates up to 27 acupressure points which work on many conditions of the head, ears, eyes and nose to boost your health. Several points work on drooping of the upper eyelids and swollen and puffy eyes.

Reiki healing

An hour of gentle energy treatment for the whole mind, body and spirit. This treatment brings you back to balance.

Are you in pain, feeling heavy, lacking in energy, stressed or anxious, distracted or unable to focus your mind or settle your body? Perhaps you are recovering from an operation or illness? Reiki is wonderful to promote healing and remind your mind and body how to be well again. It can also reduce or remove pain, relieve stress and quieten a busy mind.

Choose to have your reiki face-to-face or at a distance.

Reiki works exceptionally well at a distance; meaning you do not need to be in the same room, town or country to receive an effective treatment. Anyone, anywhere can access a treatment.
