Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine - over 2000 years old. It is very safe. There is a lot of scientific research to support the effectiveness of acupuncture.
A natural and safe beauty therapy. Ruth specialises in Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture (FRA). During your course of treatment a variety of FRA techniques may be employed. For example, acupuncture, derma-roller, electro-acupuncture, facial massage and gua sha or Tens.
Cupping involves creating a vacuum in glass or plastic cups, either by using a flame to burn out the oxygen inside or using a suction pump. The vacuum created by cupping may help loosen muscles and encourage blood flow. Cupping may be used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety and even cellulite.
Tight shoulders? Sore back? A deep tissue massage is a favourite. Often combined with other techniques such as infra-red heat, cupping and sometimes acupuncture - depending on your needs and preference.
Facial gua sha is a technique used by the ancient Chinese to keep their facial skin looking youthful and healthy. Referred to as an ‘Eastern Facelift’ facial gua sha may improve the health of your skin while creating lift and a glowing complexion. Gentle gua sha techniques to the face encourage circulation and lymphatic drainage. Also available: Facial Gua Sha private tutorials Facial Self-Care Workshop: Facial Reading & Gua Sha 5th Feb 2022
De-stress with a firm IHM targetting the commonly tight areas of the shoulders, neck and head. Loosening off restricted muscles may really help with headaches, scalp and jaw tightness and calm the mind. No oil is used in the hair, but it will get ruffled!
Regular massage throughout pregnancy relaxes tense muscles, eases sore spots, improves circulation and mobility and is tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies. A pregnancy massage is a popular gift - gift vouchers available.
Hopi Ear Candles are hollow tubes made of cotton, soaked in beeswax, honey and herbs. When lit, the candle acts like a chimney, causing the warm air inside it to rise and creating a vacuum at the bottom. This vacuum gently stimulates the ear, facilitating removal of excess wax and impurities. Hopi candles may be used for many conditions including deafness caused by excess wax, congested sinuses,headaches. A course of 3 treatments is recommended.
Lifestyle changes are integral to a tCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) approach to health and wellbeing. Ruth's weekly mindful yoga classes are suitable for beginners and weave movement with breath.
