Ayurveda covers all aspects of health and well-being for a happy life.




Ayurveda

A consultation provides an assessment of your current health status. . . and includes an Ayurvedic Body-type Assessment with lifestyle and dietary guidelines.

Beginning with an assessment of what we understand as your Body-type and what it needs to eat in order to function properly. Seasonal adjustments to our lifestyle show us as well, how to rest and recreate in accordance with the daily round. Practical study and application of these principles/guidelines involve diet and exercise, seasonal and daily routines to maintain balance, massage and its therapeutic uses, Panchakarma cleansing and purification techniques. Treatment is rightly understood as the process of re-establishing health and not killing the pain or disease. All of these notions rely on the constitution of man and nature, which is based on three functional centres governing all of life.

Principal treatments involve the unique Ayurvedic practice of massage with herbal oils. Every human being needs regular oil massage. While self-massage is adequate for people most of the the time, everyone should seek professional massage from time to time. Massage makes the skin soft and unctuous reducing dryness, cold, rough and ageing skin. The rhythmic massage motion allays joint and muscle stiffness and makes all body movements free and rhythmic. The circulation of the blood increases, encouraging quicker removal of metabolic wastes. Massage also relaxes the body prior to more vigorous exercise. Massage is particularly benefi cial for those who work more with their mind than their body. With reduced anxiety and tension body-awareness develops leading to an expansive sense of ourselves or well-being. This state of ease brings an improvement of mental and emotional
functioning, with a body felt as light and full of energy and vitality.

  • Increases body-heat and improves blood circulation

Kansa Wand

Kansa means bronze. Bronze is a combination of copper and tin with the trace mineral zinc. Known in ancient India as the Healing Metal. Traditionally, Kansa is said to draw from the body via the skin, Pitta or excess acidity and heat that accumulates in the tissues.


Kansa Wands were first used in foot massage and also have a long history of relieving eye conditions. In todays technological world with many suffering eye problems such as eye strain and tension, redness & soreness, blurred vision, headaches and general aches or pains, Kansa Wands are an ideal treatment.

Due to bronzes high electrical conductivity Kansa Wands work easily and effectively with the bodys subtle electrical fields as well as the piezo-electricity that runs in the collagen layer and fascia.

* When piezo-electric material is placed under mechanical stress, shifting of the positive and negative charge centres in the material takes place, which then results in an external electrical field. When reversed, an outer electrical field either stretches or compresses piezo-electrical material.

Testimonial


It is very rare to find a therapist who is so highly qualified, greatly skilled and vastly experienced, and who brings such an extraordinary depth of knowledge, understanding, insight and awareness to the massage table, she simply bestows the gift of healing upon you.

I have found Jennifers massages to be not only divinely relaxing, rejuvenating and energising, but also mentally transformative and able to ever so gently take me to that place of inner stillness where time stops and I simply am, in pure bliss!
