Benefits

• Improves lymphatic and cardiovascular circulation and drainage.
• Acts as a 'mechanical cleanser' increasing the elimination of wastes and toxic debris. The Body will run 'cleaner'.
• Improved immune function to fight infection, virus and disease
• Decrease general Stress and relief from its effects.
• Re-Balances all systems of the body.

Massage reveals how it feels to be more relaxed.  When we are relaxed we can drop into a deep quiet level of consciousness where nourishing energy can be received.  The stroking, kneading and pressing of the soft tissues through massage induces profound relaxation, feeling nurtured and a sense of wellbeing.  This facilitates the body's ability to re-balance its self-healing potential and normalize all body functions.

What happens?
After completing a  short health history questionnaire the treatment will begin. Relaxing massage oils are used for treatment. Towels will cover clients at all times during your treatment and they will never be 'exposed'. Clients just relax quietly and enjoy the treatment. Each massage will suit the client's needs and the pressure of the strokes will be as light or as deep as they wish. Some tense muscles may be tender to touch since toxin deposits are being directly worked on, let Catherine know when there is discomfort. The client's comfort and safety is of the utmost importance.  

Clients should always give themselves time to takes things easy for an hour or two after the treatment. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day (6-8 glasses) and taking a relaxing Epsom salt bath will help flush any toxins that have been released.

During and after treatment people's experience varies ; clients may feel profoundly relaxed/drowsy - this will pass, leaving you calm, with increased flexibility and energy that can last for days.

Catherine helps to facilitate the recovery/healing process rather than who can 'cure' health issues, each client can become an active participant by taking personal responsibility for their health. By taking action in addressing their lifestyle (stress, exercise, sleep and health habits), maintain a health promoting diet and have a positive mental attitude, clients can succeed in creating a happy, healthy work-life balance.
