Breaking down and reducing adhesions

Aiming to improve postural faults

The Mindful Massage
A unique massage tailored for the ultimate in relaxation. Once you are comfortably positioned on the treatment couch your journey to ultimate relaxation will begin.
Your journey is designed to improve your well being by allowing you time to totally switch off and relax, disconnecting from the fast paced world we all live in. Allowing yourself to experience this special journey is so important to rebalance and heal your body and mind.
Step 1 of your treatment journey will begin with a grounding exercise followed by a soothing period of Mindfulness meditation which entails silently paying attention to thoughts, sounds and the sensations of breathing or parts of the body, bringing attention back whenever the mind starts to wander. Your breathing exercises will be incorporated into your meditation to assist you in relaxing and help reduce any stress, anxiety and tension you may have.
Step 2 of your journey will continue with a full body massage feeling the warm, blended oil being brushed lightly onto your body and then very gently and slowly massaged into your skin using very light touch techniques.
Step 3 involves your facial and scalp massage using the beautiful Made for Life Organics balms and oils. These are all handmade products and 100% organic. Your journey into total relaxation is almost complete.
Step 4 completes your journey. You will be given time to allow your body to rebalance and adjust prior to leaving, feeling totally relaxed and rejuvenated.
