What does Holistic welfare therapies include:
Below is a list of holistic welfare therapies given. Please check out them for rejuvenating your body, mind, and soul.
Acupuncture
One of the most ancient methods of healing. It harmonizes internal energy by the insertion of very fine needles into acupuncture points along meridian lines. Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is not painful and often releases a surge of instant energy into the system.
Alexander Technique
Helps us to regain poise, grace, alertness, and focus without stiffness and undue strain. Movement becomes freer and more enjoyable. The teacher will use a guiding touch to rediscover balance and ease within yourself. It is often used in conjunction with the performing arts.
Aromatherapy
A natural healing massage using pure essences extracted from aromatic plants. Following an initial consultation, a unique blend of oils is applied with firm but gentle massage using pressure points and lymphatic drainage techniques.
Counseling
The ultimate aim of this approach is to encourage self-help through periods of change, crisis or distress and to support a realization to full potential. After an initial consultation, an appropriate length of treatment is discussed.
Craniosacral Therapy for holistic welfare
Craniosacral therapy helps women prepare for labor. It helps resolve structural restrictions, the residue of past trauma, fear, impasses, or experiences remembered in the body, like the effect of past birth experiences that can interfere with normal childbirth. The therapy helps mothers to access her inner wisdom about how to give birth in a way that is easiest for her and her baby.
Postpartum CST sessions help the new mother process and integrate her birth experiences emotionally and physically. Soon after birth may be the best preventative and least intrusive medicine parents can provide for their newborns. An infant is fully conscious at birth, in fact, it is known that moments after conception a human being is unique in shape, position, and structure (Blechschmidt 1977). The study of embryology teaches us the principle “wholeness is our conception right”.
Holistic Massage
Full body massage releases muscular tension and relaxes the nervous system. The movements increase blood and lymph flow, improve metabolism, assist the breaking down of unwanted toxins, and help to release life stresses. During the massage normally sweet almond oil is in use.
Homeopathy
After an initial consultation, homeopathic remedies are prescribed to stimulate and enhance our natural curative properties. These are completely safe and in most cases can be used in conjunction with mainstream treatments.
Indian Head Massage
This is a firm, yet relaxing massage of the neck, shoulders, head and face. Helps to release tension and soothe away the stresses of modern life, 30 minutes of bliss!
Medical Herbalism
Herbal Medicine is an ancient medical system that uses plant remedies for the maintenance of health and to promote healing and can be traced back at least to 1000 BC in China. Training to become a Medical Herbalist involves the rigorous study of medical sciences, diagnostic skills, pharmacy, materia medica (the study of herbs), nutrition, in addition to a minimum of 500 hours of supervised clinical training.
