The value of natural plant oils has been recognized since ancient times. They have natural healing, cleansing, preservative and mood-enhancing properties as well as the simple pleasure of their fragrances. Aromatherapy is the practice of using plants essential oils, or the pure essence of a plant, to provide both psychological and physical benefits. Essential oils are concentrated aromatic plant extracts usually collected through a process of steam oil distillation. We use these oils in many products including shampoos, candles, soap, and baby lotion. They ease many symptoms such as:

• Anxiety
• Low Energy
• Stress
• Insomnia/Sleeplessness
• Irritability

It is important to note that perfume oils are not the same as essential oils. Essential oils should not be used directly on the body or skin in an undiluted form. Aromatherapy is a wonderful enhancement to massage, facials, meditation, hypnotherapy, bathing, and in compresses.

Polarity is an energy therapy. It is focused on the energy fields of the body rather than the physical body. The skilled practitioner balances out the various energy fields by working together with the client in a very calm, relaxed environment. The session can release intense emotions thus freeing the client.

The therapist talks to the client about their life, and asks if there is an area they feel needs work. They use gentle touch to identify areas of held tension and blocked energy on the body and they use their powers of observation to look at the client's energy flows. The client remains fully clothed.

Polarity has been proven to improve posture, release areas of muscle pain and tension, and relieve depression and stress.

Reflexology is based on the premise that there are reflex areas, zones, and meridians in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to all organs, glands, systems, and parts of the human body. For example:

• The tips of the toes reflect the head
• The heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
• The liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot
• Low back and intestines are towards the heel

Specific pressures are applied to the reflex points. A scientific explanation is that the pressure may send signals that balance the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce pain and stress. Reflexologists work from the ankles to the toes, and from the wrists to the fingers, and around the surfaces of the outer ear. If you are ticklish, don’t worry - the firm pressure will not tickle. One remains fully clothed, only the shoes and socks are removed.

Reflexology promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages overall healing.

According to the 'International Center for Reiki Training' Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation thus promoting healing. It comes from two Japanese words Rei which means "God's wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki means 'spiritually guided life force energy'.

Reiki is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress.

Most say that a treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It treats the whole person, the body, emotions, mind and spirit . Many benefits include relaxation, feelings of peace, security and well being. Reiki is natural, safe and healing.
