Complementary therapy at Memanat

Your mémanat complementary therapist is ;

Having both experience of private therapy practice & working within the NHS treating cancer patients & their families, I welcome you to the Chateau de Mémanat, for individual therapy treatments in:

Relexology

Reflexology is a holistic complementary therapy involving the treatment of various disorders by applying pressure to the feet or hands. Precise areas of the feet or hands relate directly to particular parts of the body and the whole body can be treated via their “reflex points”. It is gentle, non-invasive & relaxing.

Treatment involves applying pressure to the precise reflex points with the thumb or fingers & different sensations can be felt. These can be interpreted by the therapist to indicate where imbalances are. The therapist accesses the body’s energy through zones in order to clear any congestion which may be causing the imbalance.

Reflexology can help overcome the effects of a stressful lifestyle, demands on the body like pollution, additives & pesticides in our foods.

Headaches, migraines, tension, backache, digestive disorders, a weakened immune system, high blood pressure, skin conditions, frequent colds & infections & M.E can all be treated with Reflexology.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “Universal life force energy”. Reiki therapy is a simple, gentle yet powerful form of natural healing that balances, harmonises & restores your own energy system. It is based on the concept of an unseen life force energy flowing through us.

If this energy is low, then you are more likely to become stressed. Reiki is
deeply relaxing, eases stress & has a calming effect. Reiki can accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance the emotions & may provide a closer connection with innerwisdom & build on a more resourceful state of being.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head massage is based on the Indian Ayurvedique healing system & involves a seated, massage of the upper back, the shoulders, the neck, the head & the face.

It is incredibly relaxing yet stimulating. A range of massage movements are used to bring oxygen to tired or tense muscles & the scalp to help them relax & to liberate toxins. An Indian head massage leaves you feeling warm, calm & relaxed. It is also a great “pick me up” for those suffering from a feeling of lack of energy & stimulates the concentration & memory. Headaches, migraines, sinus congestion, depression & anxiety can all be treated with Indian head massage.

Chakra and Aura balancing

Chakra and Aura balancing using gifts provided by mother nature; colour, sound, crystals, Bach flower remedies & essential oils to balance, harmonise & stimulate the 7 principal chakras of the body, which in turn, heal & restore the body aura to protect the physical body and maintain good health.

After scanning the energetic body using a dowsing crystal, the kinesiology muscle testing technique is used to select the “right” remedy form a choice of crystals, oils, Colours, sounds, flower remedies. A very thorough, gentle, healing experience.

Chakra Basti

Chakra Basti is a technique used in the Ayurvedique medicine tradition of India & Nepal consisting of identifying, cleansing,
harmonising & stimulating the 7 major body chakras using warmed sesame oil & specially selected essential oils to support the needs of each individual. The warmed oils are drizzled into dough moulds placed on the chakras in need of a “cure”. Once the dough moulds & oils are in place, the energy of reiki is used to intensify the work of the chakra basti. A sense of deep relaxation, warmth & love is felt during & after the treatment.

Fujithérapie - Hot stone massage

Come & discover the deeply relaxing benefits of Fujithérapie, the Japanese hot stone therapy treatment. Using heated, polished volcanic stones & deliciously scented oils, this full body massage relieves tension, drains & detoxify’s the body leaving a lasting feeling of well-being & relaxation.
