Treatments
CUPPING MASSAGE THERAPY

- Increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair.
- It may help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
- Increasing circulation with cupping also helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- Cupping encourages tissues to release toxins.
- Reducing anxiety. Gliding the cups across skin causes parasympathetic nervous system to engage. This promotes deep relaxation to move through entire body (parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing heart rate, assisting in digestion, and increasing intestinal and gland activity.)
- Cupping can clear congestion and help treat asthma. Congestion (the buildup of fluid or phlegm in lungs) caused by a cold, bronchitis, or even asthma can be treated with cupping. The suction from cups breaks up and expels congestion. It brings oxygen rich blood and lymph toward lungs and other respiratory muscles. Cups are usually placed on back, but may be placed on chest as well.
- Cupping can clear colon blockages and aid digestion. Cupping helps to engage the parasympathetic nervous system, which increases blood flow to the digestive tract. Gentle cupping over the abdomen also stimulates the insides of digestive organs. It aids in peristalsis (contractions that push food through digestive tract), helps clear colon blockages, encourages blood and body-fluid to move through organs, and helps relieve indigestion.
CLIENT’S TESTIMONIALS:
“Yesterday I had my treatment, cupping and massage on some tight areas, directly after coming from training, a time when I feel most lethargic, tired and stiff. I felt the cupping really helped with my recovery as I didn’t wake up once during the night after the treatment, and when I woke up the next morning my body was so refreshed it didn’t even feel like I had trained at all! Straight away after waking up I went to an early training session and I felt full of energy and loose. The more I get of these treatments, the more I’m feeling the good effects and becoming more accustomed to the treatment itself.” John HickeySOUND THERAPY WITH TIBETAN BOWLS

HAWAIIAN LOMI LOMI CORE & SKELETAL ALIGNMENT MASSAGE

PRINCIPLES OF HUNA PHILOSOPHY
:- IKE – the world is what you think it is
- KALA – there are no limits
- MAKIA – energy flows where attention goes
- MANAWA – now is the moment of power
- ALOHA – to love is to be happy with
- MANA – all power comes within
- PONO – effectiveness is the measure of truth
The advanced Ho’omana Core & Skeletal Alignment techniques are administered focusing on the releasing of joints at the level of the tendonous and ligamentous attachments. This approach allows to address acute injury without exacerbating painful symptoms. Emphasis is placed on following the symptom to its’ source ultimately assisting in increasing range of motion at the joint level and alignment and function of the musculoskeletal system. From a Hawaiian perspective, our spine is a symbol of an ancestral connection and the stability offered as a result of ancestral support. The bones are our living record of being, the doorway to life and ancestral wisdom of the soul. The intention behind the work is that by bringing the physical body into alignment, there is a space held for the spiritual, emotional and mental body to realign.
Some benefits of Lomi Lomi Massage:
- Increasing range of motion at the joint level
- Aligning of the musculoskeletal system
- Relaxes and calms
- Increases metabolism and energy
- Improves circulation of blood and lymph
- Breaks up fibrous nodules and “knots”
- Improves all systems and organs, cleansing and detoxifying
- Reduces muscle spasm
- Energises and revitalises
- Relieves stress
- Reduces pain and stiffness
- Helps to manage anxiety and depression

- Boosts immunity

- Outburst of emotion-as the IET energy continues to rebalance the cellular memory, the client may experience short episodes of supressed emotions rising to the surface and clearing
