Massage Therapy
Massage is the manipulation of the body's soft tissue and muscle. Pressure is applied to areas of the body and is usually carried out using the hands, thumbs, fingers, forearms or elbows, although some electrical machines can also be used. A massage can benefit you emotionally, physically and often psychologically. It can help to:
- Relax the body and mind
- Aids blood and lymphatic circulation
- Relaxes tight and stressed muscles
- Relieves stiff joints
- Improves digestion
- Improves the condition and colour of the skin
- Aids a good night sleep
- Helps to induce a feeling of calm
There are several different forms of massage that Barbara offers at Gifted and Blessed, all with the above benefits, these include:
Aromatherapy Massage
This is a body massage using natural carrier oils mixed with a blend of pure essential oils (each client is different and will have a different blend for their own needs). Nearly all essential oils have a degree of anti-bacterial properties, but all have their own natural healing ability. When the oils enter the blood stream they react with hormones and enzymes initiating chemical changes in the body - thus giving a positive physiological and psychological effect.
Indian Head Massage
In this treatment the massage is mainly focused on the upper back, upper arms, shoulders, neck - where we tend to accumulate most of our tension and stress, head and to finish, a facial. It is an extremely versatile treatment and is performed in a seated position in an appropriate chair. The nature of the massage helps to relieve stress, anxiety and perhaps depression with it's uplifting effects. The body's chakras are rebalanced during a treatment and this in turn helps refresh and revitalize the body and mind. An emotional release may be experienced by the client, this is the body's natural healing process.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a treatment that works on the feet or hands to balance the whole body. It includes the use of pressure points and massage to areas of the foot or hand to have an affect on the energy pathways or reflex zones. Each part of the foot corresponds to a part of the body. Reflexology helps maintain our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing; circulation is also increased helping to relieve the body of toxins and waste.
Hot Stone Massage
This is a beautifully relaxing treatment as the warmth from the stones help the muscle to relax almost immediately, giving greater intensity and helping to alleviate minor aches and pains. During this treatment essential oils are also used giving the client the ultimate relaxation treatment.
Sports Massage
This is a form of body massage but on a much deeper level to the muscles that are affected. The areas focused on will be manipulated by the use of the hands or an electrical massage machine (G4). The client will very often experience some discomfort during this type of treatment, however will feel much better usually the day after treatments have been received.

In The Zen Den.....
One hour sessions of single therapy treatments may be taken - or alternatively a combination of therapies may be offered and is tailored to the individual's needs. All treatments involve light hands-on touch and spiritually assisted healing.
Seichem
An ancient energy healing system originally used in Egyptian temples. The healing elements of fire (Sakara), air (Angeliclight, water (Sophi-El) and earth (Reiki) are brought together to provide a beautiful and profound healing treatment that clears energy pathways in the body, enabling the body to activate the natural ability to heal itself.
Reiki
As the earth element of Seichem this is the only healing ray that can be used as a stand-alone treatment. I is a powerful, grounding and healing treatment that can be used to treat many physical and emotional issues.
Quantum Touch
Energy healing involves the transferring of concentrated and natural healing energy. Treatments help to cleanse the body of toxins and release blockages. Both Quantum Touch and Reiki are powerful in working with physical and emotional issues. Quantum Touch is especially good at relieving skeletal pain, inflammation and tension. If the body is out of alignment Quantum Touch helps the bones to slide back into place.
Aura Cleansing
A delightfully relaxing treatment to release the negativity that can stick to and clutter our energy (auric) field. This negativity can affect our emotional and physical bodies, and an aura cleanse unblocks chakras and brings balance to our system.
