Massage

The basis of my treatment is California massage. This form of massage is the first that I learned, in the mid 1980's. During my training as a naturopath in the 1990's I learned other techniques of classical massage, Shiatsu and Joint Release. I also employ elements of Ayurvedic massage and Tibetan healing massage in my treatments.

I use St. John's Wort oil almost exclusively. The flowers are harvested in in the midday sun in June and July, and steeped in oil in the sunshine for three months. As a result, the oil has the quality of bringing light and sun into the body. St. John's Wort can therefore penetrate deeply into the muscles and tissue and release tension afterwards.

Massage can be an ongoing component of treatment for a chronic condition or it can be booked simply for help with relaxation.
