Many people feel stressed or unwell because the energy in their body is not balanced. The mind, body, soul and spirit are out of kilter. 

I take an holistic view of the whole person to encourage ‘energy re-balancing’ combining
• Aromatherapy Massage
• Knowledge of Western and Oriental medicine
• Counselling/psychotherapy skills
• Emotional freedom technique (EFT)
• Intuitive energy work and therapeutic touch                to assist the body to heal itself.

What people say about Anna's treatments
"It is the best massage I've ever had. Anna really finds the points in my body which need to be worked on. Noone has ever done that before."

"Anna works intuitively so I don't need to tell her where to work. She finds out anyway."

"I come to Anna for healing because she is one of the few people I find safe enough for me to work with. I would describe her as a ‘safe pair of hands'."

Treatments
Energy balancing treatments usually last between 75 and 90 minutes depending on what is required.

Fees
I work on a sliding scale basis depending on income which will be discussed before the session.
Although you may feel some benefit from one treatment, a sustained change is only made possible by regular treatments over a period of weeks or months. Reduced fees available for six energy rebalancing treatments booked at weekly intervals. (Pay for six and get one free).

What to expect
In the first treatment I will spend more time finding out why you have come to see me and may take a medical history if appropriate. This information is treated in the strictest confidence.

Aromatherapy massage forms the central part of the treatment. So I would ask you to remove some of your clothes and lie on a massage table. You would be covered in warm towels and kept comfortable throughout the treatment so you can relax as much as possible. During the treatment, I will approach you with great care and check what effect my touch is having on you. The pressure of the massage varies to suit your body's needs.  I will apply essential oils, specially blended to your specific requirements, to your body. I may suggest that you take a blend of oils with you to use at home. I work with the pure, mostly organic, essential and carrier oils.

The relationship between me, the therapist and you, the client is what makes change possible. The development of trust is very important and helps each person engage in the discovery of more about themselves. I work in close cooperation with you, being sensitive to both comments and the body's non-verbal signals.

The mind-body connection means that working on the body may release emotional issues. Memories can be held deeply within the body.  People find that they engage with their life issues in doing bodywork with me. It helps to make connections between the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of your lives. This approach enhances the body's own self-healing capacity.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils which are obtained from volatile essences of plants and flowers. These are usually combined with body work which works on the tissues as well as meridians and energy pathways within your body. The oils act on the body and the mind to rebalance them and regain a sense of well-being and vitality. Using oils is beneficial when there is too much unhealthy stress in your life and it is difficult to see a way forward.

Each oil possesses individual qualities and healing properties. The choice of oils is very important so finding out what is important for you at this particular moment is part of the process. Oils are then mixed together creating a blend that smells good. I often give you an oil blend to use at home. I work with the purest essential and carrier oils that I can find, which are mostly organic.

Holistic massage combines techniques in a way which is intuitive giving tailor-made treatment to help a variety of ailments. It assists relaxation and helps the body heal itself, so increasing health and wellbeing.

I have experience of working with muscular dystrophies.

Therapeutic touch is a healing technique which transfers universal healing energy at an emotional, physical, spiritual level for creating harmony of the body, mind and soul. It helps you to connect with your body and creates a sense of well-being and assists in the transformatory process. It can help release body blocks held from issues in the past. The healing works to balance the body's chakras or energy centres and is performed through clothing. I may touch your body or work just above it.

EFT works through tapping on acupuncture meridians in the body whilst focusing on a statement of personal belief. Disruptive emotional blocks in the system are gently released and 'emotional freedom' is experienced.  More information
