In Susie's practice she endeavours to balance her knowledge of Eastern and Western techniques, creating a deep, yet flowing massage that will ease stress and tension in body and mind. To tune into the clients system as a whole, Susie will begin a treatment using cranio sacral therapy. This will feel like a very gentle touch allowing space for listening and sensing into the various rhythms of the body. From this calm quiet space, Susie's main goal is to help the body become conscious, enabling self healing on a deep energetic level. Depending on the individual’s needs, Susie will use a variety of techniques shown below on a massage bed possibly using oil.

This treatment is ideal to treat injuries. The therapist can work on specific areas to break down tensions, and it can also be a preventative treatment dealing with the health of muscle and connective tissue.
Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles. It is used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, lower back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
Research has showed that having holistic treatments like massage and reflexology during pregnancy can help with the many aches and pains one can experience, easing back ache, headaches and other difficult symptoms like anxiety. There are many techniques that can be used to ease swelling, balance hormones, reduce sciatic nerve pain, improve circulation and oxygenation of soft tissues and muscles, all aiding better sleep. Post natal massage can be incredibly nuturing for the mother, again easing many of the symtoms involving mind and body.
A holistic massage is unique, following no fixed routine and focusing on more than just superficial aches and pains. In a session a wide range of massage techniques are used including gentle massage, stretches, relaxation work and deep tissue techniques. A holistic approach treats the body as a whole, taking into account a client's emotional and spiritual wellbeing, as well as their physical body.
Indian head massage originates from an Indian medicine system called Ayurveda. It is understood that Indian head massage can not only improve physical well-being, but it can also improve mental and emotional wellness too. I have been on a day seminar to learn about this method and am trained in similar techniques. I can carry out this style of treatment mainly focussing on the head, neck and shoulder area.
Reiki originates from Japan and is a form of non invasive energy healing focusing on the unseen life force sometimes called chi. Susie automatically integrates this form of healing within massage sessions and many clients are surprised at how deeply they feel this incredibly gentle therapy.

Foot massage has been documented as a healing therapy for hundreds of years, dating back to ancient Egypt and China. In the middle of the twentieth century the term Reflexology was born. Reflexology is a holistic treatment involving massaging various pressure points on the feet, affecting the energy and health of the whole body. It is a wonderful way to rebalance your energy system, bringing consciousness down through the body, helping you feel more grounded and aware of your connection to the earth.
Reflexology can help many conditions including; stress, sleep problems, anxiety, chronic pain, women's health issues, bereavement, pregnancy, constipation, IBS, lack of body connection, and other imbalances.

"Susie's facials are so much more than splashing creams on your face. With her knowledge of the human body she takes you on a blissed out journey, working through tight muscles, applying scrumptious Neal's Yard lotions and potions, and generally making you feel totally revived, refreshed and relaxed. Can't recommend her highly enough."
Hot stone massage is a wonderful calming treatment that brings another level to cellular relaxation. The smooth stones are made of ancient volcanic rock, a substance that naturally holds heat for an extended period of time. The heat gently radiates deep into your body increasing blood flow, whilst inducing a profound sense of relaxation, which is key to initiating your innate healing capabilities.
I find this treatment can greatly help clients with deeply held tension patterns, and stressed over active minds.

Creating a positive atmosphere in the workplace has proven to increase moral and work output immensely. What better way to do this than having a wellbeing day where a highly professional holistic therapist visits your office and invites all your employees to have a 15 to 30 minute treatment. Depending on the space available a massage table or portable massage chair can be used or people can have at treatment their own desks.

Meditation has been central to Susie’s life for the last 15 years, enabling her to increase her awareness when treating clients. She has taught meditation techniques on Detox retreats in Europe and is very passionate about sharing her knowledge with her clients to help improve wellbeing.
Here is a section from an article she wrote for a health magazine.
“Imagine a life where you accepted all your emotions and felt at peace in your centre, with an awareness that is beyond the suffering of the mind. Where you experienced and appreciated the moments in between dates in the diary or specific tasks, living everyday to the full. We can experience life with all the senses given to us a human being, rather than being governed by the mind. Meditation is a fantastic tool to help attain the above. It is so simple yet incredibly life changing. When you make meditation part of your daily life you gradually become much more in tune with the thoughts that are useful to you in a given moment, and those that are causing unnecessary suffering. Your intuitive intelligence can become much stronger, enabling you to make choices that are most beneficial to you and you will find that your inner world becomes much more calm, quiet and spacious."
Susie is happy to incorporate sharing her knowledge during a treatment. She can also offer a 30 minute meditation lesson which she asks for a donation.
