Holistic Therapies

Spirit is dedicated to therapies rooted in ancient principles that reduce stress and reintroduce balance and harmony to the three cornerstones of being: mind, body and soul. At Spirit we focus on three of the key holistic therapies designed to bring physical and spiritual communion.

La Stone Therapy massage, Indian Head massage and Reflexology.

Our practitioners are highly trained specialists, with years of experience at hand. Following your chosen therapy, we thoroughly recommend that you spend some time in your calm and sophisticated treatment room making the gradual transition back to everyday life.

La Stone

With the aim of inducing a tranquil, meditative state for the mind and soul, together with relaxation of the body, it is unsurprising that in today’s hectic world La Stone  is one of the fastest growing massage therapies found in spas today. Typically lasting an hour and a half, this more lengthy treatment uses hot and cold lava and marble stones, hot oils and aromatherapy to both cleanse and warm the system. This allows the therapist to work on specific areas of the body, giving a highly individualised experience, while leaving you in the comfort and peace of deep serenity.    

Reflexology

The popular therapy Reflexology uses massage techniques on the feet to stimulate and regularise several of the body’s systems, particularly the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for many of our automatic bodily responses. In essence, this therapy takes you into a deep state of relaxation assisting, among other things, blood pressure to normalise sleep patterns which assists the body’s natural ability to self-heal. Almost everyone can benefit from the state of positive well-being for which Reflexology is renowned. 

Indian Head

Undoubtedly one of the most ancient therapies, Indian Head massage, alternatively known as Champissage, has been practised in eastern climes for thousands of years. Traditionally used as the basis for family grooming in Indian society, it appeared in England in the 1970’s. It has been developed here as a therapy to deliver relief from physical conditions of the head, neck, shoulders and upper arms. Using gentle massage movements, this treatment helps bring balance back to the body’s energy systems alleviating such problems as migraine, eye strain, tinnitus, chronic muscle strain and mental fatigue. By the end of each treatment, you will leave feeling wonderfully light, calm and peaceful.
