Acupressure Facial Treatment team update

In August, both myself and Jo spent the day with Bristol College of Massage learning Acupressure Facial Massage, and we are both now certified to offer this.

Facial Acupressure therapy treats the unique structure of the face to support emotional and stress relief. It also incorporates working with the Chinese  Acupressure facial map to benefit the whole body.

Treatments involve preparing the skin and having an extremely relaxing treatment in which you will feel pampered and become deeply relaxed. You will feel and look revitalised and it is a very safe treatment and good for those with chronic conditions.

It’s All About The Bump

The body is a wondrous thing, particularly when it is working hard to bring another beautiful baby into the world.  Pregnancy is different for everyone and our bodies respond in different ways to the changes happening within – this can leave us tired, stressed, anxious, achy and swollen to name but a few side effects.

Massage is a well-known treatment to reduce aches and pains, relieve stress and worries and aid restful sleep.  During pregnancy, it is so important to treat the body delicately and seeing a professional pregnancy massage specialist is a simple way to feel safe whilst reaping the rewards of massage therapy.
Below are FIVE reasons to get yourself booked for a pregnancy massage pronto:

  1. Pain relief – our bodies are going through a lot and pain is usual during this time.  Massage can help with leg cramps, tension and stiffness by improving circulation and getting the blood flowing to these areas.
  2. Anxiety and stress – growing a human is a big deal and that responsibility can manifest into worries and negative thoughts.  A peaceful, relaxing massage can help settle the mind and allow you time to connect with the baby in your tummy.
  3. Sleep – one of the most common complaints during pregnancy is the inability to sleep – too hot, too big, too uncomfortable – the list is endless.  Massage can help you fall to sleep quicker and stay asleep.  Massage encourages the release of the happy hormone serotonin, which in turns transforms into the sleep promoting hormone melatonin.
  4. Swelling – cankles are not our favourite look, but by improving circulation and blood flow massage plays a part in reducing swelling in the body.
  5. Preparation – freeing the body of tightness, aches and pains can aid us in our preparation for labour.  Opening up the pelvis, reducing swelling and allowing better movement during pregnancy is perfect for when the baby is ready to come out.  If you are having a long first stage of labour a good massage can help the body relax and help you to stay calm and at peace, allowing the body to work it’s magic.

We are so lucky to have a few specialist pregnancy and baby massage therapists at both our locations in Bath and South Devon. With over 40 experience between us , we offers pre and post-natal massage, baby massage courses and Hypnobirthing.

Radio Bath

On Tuesday 21st March, Polly will be in conversation with presenter Steve Fountain at Radio Bath where they will be discussing everything from the rise in wellbeing services since covid, Hypnobirthing and maternity support in Bath and BANES. Tune in to hear the interview.

Mother’s Day gifting

With Mother’s Day approaching this month we are delighted to be launching a new treatment just in time for them – Acupressure Facial.

This gorgeous new treatment works on specific points on the face, as well as massaging the muscles to release tension and stress leaving you feeling lighter, relaxed and invigorated. By applying pressure it can help to unblock congested energy, strengthen weak energy or calm overactive energy.

As our face structure is designed specifically to allow us to express how we feel it can result in a lot of emotion being held here, especially in the jaw.

The treatment Includes a neck and scalp massage working the tissues to release tension, a facial cleansing to clean and prepare the face ready for the facial massage (we use VerdeKin products) and a facial massage working the body’s organs located on the face using the Chinese face chart to support the whole body

The benefits are numerous and include: Deeply calms the central nervous system and therefore very beneficial for chronic conditions, releases tension in the face by working through the different layers of tissue (these are the most used muscles in our body), Releases fascia (tissue surrounding the skin & organs) and therefore stimulates the production of collagen (reduce those lines!), Increases the blood supply to the face and aids lymphatic drainage supporting the removal of toxins, Stimulates acupressure points to free the energy so the body can begin to re-balance and is a deeply relaxing treatment for your whole body, not just the face!

Appointments are available for 30, 45 and 60 minutes
