DORN METHOD
"Better back and joint care safely, naturally and gently".
Developed in Germany in the 1980s, this technique involves the client and
therapist working together to align the spine and other joints (no clicking
or crunching involved!). It can be a quick and effective way to resolve leg
length difference, and is suitable for clients with back pain, sciatica, or
any kind of joint pain. At the session, the client is shown some quick and
easy exercises to do at home to maintain the change that has taken place in
the session, reducing the number of appointments needed. You should see
results after the very first session. May be combined with a Breuss massage
to stretch and energise the spine.

BOWEN
TECHNIQUE
This technique consists of gentle but
precise moves over certain muscles and tendons, aiming to
rebalance the body. It is especially good for musculo-skeletal
problems, and unlike massage can be used in acute phases.
I like to call it “homeopathic massage”, as it
can feel as if very little is being done, yet it can have
a powerful effect. To be effective, it is best to have 2-3
sessions spaced 7-10 days apart, but no more than that is
usually required. You should not have other treatments from
any practitioner while receiving Bowen. Can be done through
light clothing. (usually lasts 40-60 minutes)
PULSING
This non-invasive, relaxing, rocking
style of bodywork invites the body to let go, inducing feelings
of nurturance, lightness, and playfulness. One by one the
joints are moved and rocked to release tension, going through
the whole body. Can be done in loose, light clothing.
EAR
CANDLES
If the sound of having a lighted candle
placed in your ear sounds alarming – don’t worry!
These are no ordinary candles, but hollow cotton tubes impregnated
with beeswax and herbs. Lying on your side, each ear is treated
in turn. Although the candles have a light convection effect
this is imperceptible, and usually all you experience is a
gentle crackling and deep relaxation. The best quality Biosun®
candles are used, which have an inbuilt filter and maximum
burn mark. This treatment can be helpful for conditions such
as ear problems, sinus problems, and headaches among others.
A face massage completes the treatment to aid sinus drainage.
Reduced rates are available for children, omitting the face
massage.
BACH
FLOWER REMEDIES
These are gentle remedies for the mind
and emotions that are taken internally. Very useful at times
of stress, to help keep you on an even keel. Stress in the
mind eventually shows up as physical ill health, so nip it
in the bud. Rescue Remedy is a combination of five flower
remedies, and a very useful aid to keep on hand for traumatic
or stressful times. However, the remedies can work even better
if you can find the combination that is just right for you.
After a consultation I can make up a tailor-made prescription
for you to take four times daily. They are extremely safe
and gentle, suitable for all.
TOUCH FOR HEALTH (KINESIOLOGY)
Based in part on Traditional Chinese Medicine, TFH uses
muscle testing to ask the body where energy imbalances are, and to find out
which corrections are needed. Corrections include massage to points, holding
points and more. Works on physical, mental, and emotional levels, and to help
you move forward in your life.
