Modalities
This type of massage is firm and specific. If you have pain in the back, neck, or anywhere due to muscle tightness from stress or previous muscle or structural injury this is probably the massage you require. Specific problems usually require a series of treatments to deal with the pain and stiffness, then dropping it back to a deep tissue maintenance rub every few weeks or months as required. Women having back trouble and/or sciatic pain during pregnancy may gain relief from remedial massage treatments after the 1st trimester.
Hypnotherapy/HypnobirthHypnotherapy is the application of hypnotic techniques, to bypass the conscious or critical mind, in order to facilitate positive change. The critical mind is constantly distracted by environmental conditions, experiences and suggestions that are not always in our best interests. Therefore faulty habits, thoughts and beliefs are created and imprinted. The therapist will assist to activate the inner resources of the client to eliminate old, undesirable imprints and, in the hypnotic state of heightened suggestibility, replace them with new messages.
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic tool and can be useful for the expectant or birthing mother - and her birthing companion. It can be used for smoking and alcohol cessation, the treatment of morning sickness, breech turn and other pregnancy and labour related issues. It has also proven useful to release fears if a surgical procedure is unavoidable.
