The Philosophy: This session is designed to down-regulate a stressed nervous system using light to moderate pressure and long, fluid strokes. Rather than focusing on deep "knots," this treatment targets the sensory receptors in your skin and the superficial layers of muscle to signal to your brain that it is safe to relax. What This Does for You: Nervous System Reset: By using a rhythmic, consistent pace, we help lower cortisol levels and encourage your body to move into "Rest and Repair" mode. Circulatory Support: The gentle movements assist in moving oxygen-rich blood through the tissues, helping to ease general fatigue and mental heaviness. Systemic Peace: This is the ideal choice for those experiencing burnout, anxiety, or general overwhelm who need a gentle, supportive space to reconnect with their body.

The Philosophy: Modern life often leaves the body in a state of high electrical and emotional "noise." This treatment uses hand-carved Himalayan Salt Stones to provide a unique, grounding sensory experience. Unlike standard stones, these contain 84 essential trace minerals that work in harmony with your body’s own chemistry to encourage a deep state of stillness. The Benefits of the Salt Stone Protocol: Biologically Grounding: The natural properties of Himalayan salt are used to help neutralize the "wired" feeling associated with high-stress lifestyles. This helps move the nervous system from a state of alert to a state of profound physical security. Mineral-Infused Thermotherapy: As the stones are heated, they facilitate a gentle exchange of minerals with the skin. This supports the body’s recovery processes while the warmth reduces "muscular guarding"—the way our bodies clench when we are under pressure. Skin & Systemic Health: While the smooth salt surface provides a light, non-invasive exfoliation to refresh the skin, the rhythmic application encourages the movement of lymph, aiding the body's natural ability to clear metabolic waste. The Experience: This is a supportive, gentle-pressure treatment designed specifically for those navigating chronic health conditions or burnout. It is an invitation to step away from the digital world and reconnect with your physical self through the healing power of mineral-rich heat.

The Philosophy: Kinesiology Taping (or K-Tape) is a specialized, flexible cotton or nylon tape designed to support your body without restricting your movement. Unlike traditional rigid taping, K-Tape mimics the natural elasticity of your skin, acting as an external "support system" that helps your body heal while you stay active. How K-Tape Works for Your Recovery: Decompression & Pain Relief: By gently lifting the skin, the tape creates a microscopic space between the skin and the tissues underneath. This helps "decompress" the area, taking pressure off pain receptors and allowing for more comfortable movement. Reducing Swelling: This "lifting" effect also encourages the body’s natural drainage system (the lymphatic system) to work more efficiently, helping to clear away bruising, swelling, and inflammation faster. Muscle Support & Awareness: K-Tape provides a gentle "reminder" to your brain about your body’s position. This helps support weak muscles, improves your posture, and prevents you from over-stretching an injured area. Safety & Contraindications To ensure the best results for your skin and health, K-Tape is not suitable for those with: Allergies to acrylic adhesives or highly sensitive skin. Open wounds, broken skin, or active eczema in the area. A history of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) or blood clotting disorders. Note: If you are currently undergoing active cancer treatment, please provide a note of approval from your GP prior to application.

Harness the physiological benefits of Targeted Thermotherapy. This treatment utilizes heated basalt stones as an extension of manual therapy to increase local circulation and soften hypertonic (tight) tissues. By combining thermal application with guided stretches and remedial techniques, we can bypass the body's natural "guarding" mechanism to address chronic pain and restricted mobility. Ideal for those seeking deep-seated muscular relief and full body system regulation.

The Philosophy: Chronic pain often stems from "trigger points"—small, hyper-irritable spots within the muscle tissue that can cause discomfort not just where they are located, but also in seemingly unrelated parts of the body. This treatment is a focused clinical intervention designed to identify these points and manually reset the muscle's resting tone. How This Treatment Supports Your Recovery: Deactivating Trigger Points: Using precise, sustained pressure, we target the "hidden knots" responsible for radiating pain and stiffness. By releasing these points, we help restore normal blood flow to the muscle and "switch off" the persistent pain signals being sent to your brain. Myofascial Release: Instead of just working on the surface, this technique addresses the deeper layers of connective tissue (fascia). This helps break up long-term "stickiness" in the tissues, improving your overall flexibility and making movement feel smoother and less restricted. Vascular & Nervous System Support: While the focus is on deep physical release, the treatment also encourages your nervous system to let go of "holding patterns"—the way your body clenches in response to old injuries or daily stress. This leads to improved circulation and a profound sense of physical lightness.

The Philosophy: The Shakti experience uses the principles of acupressure to help your body "self-correct" areas of chronic tension. By using thousands of calibrated points to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues, this treatment encourages your nervous system to switch from "alert" to "recovery" mode. It is an excellent choice for those struggling with deep-seated muscle knots or disrupted sleep patterns. The Science of the Sensation: When you lie on the mat, the focused pressure triggers a natural response in the body. The Warming Effect: You will feel a distinct wave of heat as blood flow increases to the area. This helps muscles relax significantly faster than through touch alone. Circulatory Boost: This "micro-circulation" helps deliver fresh oxygen to tired tissues and assists the body in clearing away the chemical markers of stress. Deep Relaxation: Research indicates that a 20-minute session can significantly lower the body's stress response, providing a deep sense of physical relief. What to Expect During Your Session: Minutes 1–5 (The Adjustment): Initially, the sensation will feel intense. This is your body reacting to the new stimulus. By breathing deeply and allowing your weight to sink into the mat, you help your brain recognize the sensation as "safe." Minutes 5–20 (The Melt): The initial uncomfortable sensation typically transforms into a warm, tingly, and deeply soothing feeling. This is a sign that your muscles are letting go of their "guarding" response. The Result: Most clients leave the session feeling a unique combination of being "physically light" and "mentally grounded." Enhancing Your Experience: Gradual Progression: We tailor the length of your session to your comfort level, ensuring your body adapts at its own pace. Targeted Support: For those carrying tension in the upper cervical area, we can integrate the Shakti Neck Pillow to specifically address tension-type headaches and neck stiffness.

The Philosophy: Glide Cupping is a modern, dynamic approach to tissue recovery. While traditional massage techniques rely on compression (pressing into the muscle), cupping utilizes negative pressure to lift the skin and connective tissue (fascia) away from the underlying muscle. This "decompression" creates space for blood to flow, nerves to de-stress, and restricted tissues to move freely again. How the 'Glide' Method Works: This technique involves moving specialized medical-grade silicone cups across the skin in a continuous, rhythmic motion. Fascial Release: The suction gently separates layers of tissue that have become "stuck" together due to poor posture or repetitive strain. This effectively "unwraps" tight muscles, allowing for an immediate increase in your range of motion. Circulatory Flush: The movement acts as a powerful pump for your circulatory system. It draws fresh, nutrient-rich blood into the area while helping the lymphatic system clear away metabolic waste and inflammation. A Mark-Free Experience: Because the cups are in constant motion, you avoid the intense, long-lasting bruising often seen with "fire or static cupping." You may experience a healthy, warm glow (redness) signalling that your circulation has been successfully stimulated. The Benefits: Rapid Pain Reduction: By lifting the tissue off sensitive pain receptors. Improved Flexibility: Addressing "sticky" fascia that limits your movement. Deep Muscle Recovery: Ideal for chronic tension in the back, IT bands, and shoulders. Pre-Treatment Protocol To ensure your tissues are primed for the best possible release and to minimize skin sensitivity, please follow these professional recommendations 24 hours before your appointment: 1. Prioritize Systemic Hydration Cupping relies on the fluid exchange within your fascia (the "shrink-wrap" around your muscles). If you are dehydrated, your tissues become "sticky" and less responsive to the suction. The Goal: Drink an extra 500ml–1L of water the day before and the morning of your session to ensure your cells are "plump" and ready for movement. 2. Manage Skin Sensitivity Because the silicone cups create a vacuum seal and glide across the skin, we want to avoid any surface irritation. Avoid Hair Removal: Please do not shave, wax, or use hair removal creams on the area being treated for at least 24–48 hours before your session. Freshly sensitized skin can feel "prickly" or tender under the suction.

The Philosophy: This is a sophisticated mechanical resurfacing protocol designed for those seeking a "deep reset" of the skin’s surface. Utilizing medical-grade diamond-tip technology, we remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal the healthy, vibrant tissue beneath. This isn't just a surface clean; it is a clinical intervention that triggers the skin’s natural healing response. The Clinical Benefits: Enhanced Cellular Turnover: By removing the "barrier" of dull, dead cells, we accelerate the rate at which your skin produces new, healthy cells. This results in a smoother texture and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and superficial scarring. Lymphatic & Vascular Activation: The controlled suction used during the treatment provides a deep lymphatic massage. This helps reduce "puffiness" by clearing metabolic waste and draws oxygen-rich blood to the surface, feeding the skin from the inside out. Optimized Absorption: With the dead cell layer removed, your skin becomes a "sponge" for clinical-grade serums. This makes your at-home skincare routine significantly more effective. Long-Term Results (Cumulative Therapy): While a single session provides an immediate "glow," a prescribed course of treatments is recommended for: Correcting uneven pigmentation and sun damage. Refining enlarged pores and clearing congestion. Smoothing fine lines and improving dermal elasticity. The Clinical Upgrades: To further support the skin’s recovery and hydration, consider integrating: JELLYLAB Hydro-Infusion Mask: A high-electrolyte mask that creates a vacuum seal over the skin, forcing hydration and nutrients into the deeper layers. Targeted LED Phototherapy: Utilizing specific wavelengths of light to stimulate enhanced skin health.
