Reflexology

Most of us are on our feet all day, putting a lot of stress on them.

Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. It derives from a long established principle that energy zones run throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts.

Benefits of Reflexology:

Reduces stress and induces deep relaxation
Improves circulation
Cleanses the body of toxins and impurities
Balances the whole system
Stimulates creativity and productivity
Is preventative health care

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a physical approach to health and wellbeing. Originating in Japan, practitioners work on supporting and strengthening the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself.

A contemporary bodywork therapy, Shiatsu works on all the different energetic levels of your body: physical, emotional and spiritual. Shiatsu is about living your potential and opening your mind to the possibilities available to you.

Shiatsu touch is simple and profound, bringing awareness to all parts of the body. It induces deep relaxation in which mind and body both find healing.

These days many people are hovering between the healthy and sick. There is no positive way of helping them until they become ill in the western sense. With Shiatsu, TCM and other oriental approaches, we can immediately begin treatment to these half-healthy people, before their symptoms develop into a concrete disease that can be categorised. Shiatsu can help to guide people to the goal of health, and that is why I consider it an important health care method that can not only treat but mainly prevent disease.

Shiatsu treatments are given with the client fully clothed, and lying on a futon, massage table or seated. It involves gentle pressure applied by the thumbs and palms, rotations, movement and comfortable stretches.

Clients’ feedback provides evidence of the many benefits their sessions have provided.

‘Ludmila identifies problem areas before I have noticed them properly. She observes my body language and accurately pinpoints areas of tension, clenched muscles and tight shoulders. Then she proceeds to iron out these problems before they can cause lasting damage on my skeletal frame.
Aside from the physicality of the treatments she encourages a nourishing enjoyment of food. She makes me feel more balanced more positive and better able to cope with whatever life throws at me.’

Seated Acupressure Massage

This is a gentle and non invasive treatment.

It is a meridian based therapy in which pressure is used over many of the acupressure points in the 12 major meridians accessible on the back, arms, neck, head and legs. This helps to promote the flow of energy throughout the body, stimulating the circulatory, muscular, nervous, immune and lymphatic systems. During the treatment 60 acupressure points are stimulated, stretches and joint mobilisations carried out. The muscles are relaxed, blood circulation increases and feeling of well being promoted.

After this treatment you will feel relaxed, yet energised, your mind able to focus better on the tasks ahead.

Seated Acupressure massage can help to relieve:

Backache
Repetitive strain injury
Migraines
Eye strain
Toothache
Fatigue
Sinus problems
Period pain
Anxiety
Insomnia and irritability
Helps to stimulate lymphatic drainage
Helps to boost the immune system

Deep tissue massage

Massage is wonderful. Important and well deserved. It should not be a luxury enjoyed only when we start to experience aches and pains. Benefits of massage are well documented and there is overwhelming evidence of massage helping to restore health and well-being.

Deep tissue massage is a form of a treatment that focuses on releasing the restrictions of the deeper muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body. It uses techniques to work below superficial connective tissue with the intent of breaking up old structural patterns, and allowing the free flow of nutrients around the body because of improved circulation.

For best results it requires the therapist to apply a considerable amount of pressure which in some cases may cause some discomfort to the client – however, we will always work within the comfort zone of the client.

Deep tissue massage also helps to free trapped nerves, oxygenate poorly circulated areas and allows the spine and joints to relax into alignment.

Emotions are often released during the session, as the body holds onto emotion in the deeper layers. The release of emotions will help the body to start the healing process.
(Contraindications – Aneurysm, unhealed fractures, acute soft tissue injuries, fever, cancer, inflammatory conditions, osteoporosis, recent scar tissue).

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Are you feeling tired, low on energy, constantly “under the weather”?

Manual Lymphatic drainage will benefit you if you are susceptible to frequent illnesses, have depressed immune system, injuries, emotional stress and low energy.

This type of massage uses very light pressure and gentle rhythmic strokes to stimulate and increase the flow of the lymph, therefore enhancing the immune system. Lymphatic vessels carry substances vital to the defence of the body and remove waste products. Lymph is the key to your immune system working properly, so improving the flow and drainage has many benefits.

It is a super relaxing treatment, during the session you will be so at ease you may fall asleep.

Please seek advice from your GP if you are affected by Diabetes, Low blood pressure, Thyroid problems, Kidney problems, Epilepsy, Removal of spleen, Organ transplants, Joint replacement, or have breast implants.

Esperanza 2 hour Tailored Treatment

After finding the most comfortable position on the warm massage couch, you will receive a reflexology session or a foot massage, followed by deep tissue massage of your lower limbs. Moving on to upper limbs, the treatment will continue with gentle but firming massage targeting acupressure points, and gentle stretching.

A bliss lasting for two hours, the most relaxing and rejuvenating treatment on offer.

Face and head massage incorporates the moves from the Indian Head Massage treatment. Using a Kansa facial wand will soften lines, brighten the skin and relieve eye strain. It will prepare your skin for a better absorption of a specially blended rose oil, your skin will glow long after this treatment.

Readjusting your position on our extremely comfortable massage couch will allow you to enjoy a deep tissue back massage, following the pattern of your breath. The firm yet relaxing strokes of the massage pattern will promote the replenishment of your energy levels, as more invigorating moves will be incorporated towards the end of the treatment. Full body compressions and deep breathing will allow you to return to a more awake and conscious state of being. The session will finish by gentle “grounding ” of your feet, to allow your body to complete a full circle of the Esperanza nurturing touch.

A short rest, a warm drink served in a fine china cup, and after treatment advice will be provided.

Distance Energetic/Reiki session

A simple yet profound method of healing the body on many levels – physical, vibrational, emotional and spiritual.

Energy session can bring a clear improvement in even seemingly hopeless situations. The energy helps to relax muscles, ease pain and therefore soothes the emotions.

This session can only be done with your permission, your acceptance and willingness to be a step closer to the spiritual awakening. You will most likely feel something happening, it could be in different forms – such as seeing colours, felling warmth, tingling or feel sleepy with a sudden jolt of energy. (Here I am using my clients feedback as this example, your reaction might be different.)

I cannot put a specific time of a session like this, it will take as long as is needed, but set aside at least an hour. Wear very comfortable clothing, have somewhere to rest afterwards.

Self-Shiatsu Supervision Session

Best suited for clients who have already received a Shiatsu/Acupressure massage in the past. Under my guidance you will be able to tune into and listen to your body’s needs.

This session is done via an internet platform, such as Zoom.

This very empowering session will allow you find the way to rectify your posture, ease discomfort and renew your energy.
