The physical benefits of massage include increased circulation, muscle tone, strengthened immune system and a calmed nervous system, re-establishing balance and harmony to your whole being.

Aromatherapy incorporates the use of therapeutic essential oils, which are extracted from plants, flowers, trees and herbs, and are personally blended to suit the client's need, thus deepening the effects of the massage.

TOUCH PRO Chair Massage

Chair Massage has been developed since 1986 by a physiotherapist, David Palmer, in the USA, in order to facilitate receiving massage in the work place rather than having to come to the therapist practice. Because it is done on seated clients over their clothing, this massage is based on a traditional Japanese acupressure sequence which in 15 minutes includes the neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands and scalp.

Chair Massage is specially designed to enhance circulation, making you feel vibrant and refreshed. A regular Chair Massage (twice a month) is an effective way to prevent or ease stress related symptoms such as headache, insomnia, digestive problems and RSI. Research proofs that this massage lessens absenteeism by increasing your productivity, your capacity to concentrate, your creativity and contributes to a positive atmosphere.

Massage at the workplace

Deep Tissue Massage

Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage is a technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It is a slow and firm massage which aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep pressure on the contracted area, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles. The therapist may use fingertips, hands, elbows and forearms during the massage. You may be asked to breath deeply to facilitate the release of deeper tensions. The purpose is to "unstuck" the fiber of a muscle while releasing deeply held patterns , removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle .The potential goals of a deep tissue massage are pain alleviation, better posture, more flexibility and a deep sense of relaxation and well being. It is performed with the client lying on a table and covered with a towel. Small quantity of oil is use for this type of massage. A private room in your company is preferable.

Also possible to book for special events or parties. Depending on the size of your company, more than one therapist can be arranged. There is a minimum of two hours booked for a longer term arrangement but you can always book for one hour to try without further commitments, and thus experience what chair massage feels like.

Prenatal preparation with Yoga for pregnancy -

An ACTIVE BIRTH describes a woman's natural response to labour and birth when she allows instinct and intuition to guide her, thus enabling her to become more aware of the physiological needs of her own body.

Through regular practice, a woman prepares herself for labour and birth, learning to surrender herself to the experience, and ultimately allowing the process of birth to unfold naturally, with confidence and trust.

This approach places emphasis on practicing yoga throughout pregnancy. Yoga brings mind and body into union through the awareness of breath and the practice of gentle movements. It encourages emotional and physical release, which serves as a great aid in calming restlessness and anxiety. Physically, the benefits are numerous. Relief from the normal aches and tensions of pregnancy is gained through learning massage, gentle stretching, breathing, and support from partners and props.

This preparation encourages fathers to participate in the experience of pregnancy, birth, and parenting thereby enhancing the commitment of both parents to the responsibilities of mutual support and parenting.
