Body Balance:

Body balance is a gentle touch technique that works on the body’s energy lines. Body Balance uses gentle massage on certain points on the body, usually starting with the feet or hands and moving up the body, and ending with the head.     

Applying pressure and gently holding key points on the body helps the energy flow better within the body. Energy that is blocked will flow more freely.

Most people experience a sense of well being after Body Balance; it can be relaxing and energising at the same time. Some people say it helps them feel more centered and grounded.

Because it unblocks energy, people often find it helps with problems such as indigestion, headaches, sinus blockage, menstrual problems and some injuries. However, Body Balance is a holistic therapy that is very individually based and so it can help people with a whole variety of conditions, physical and emotional.

During a Body Balance session you will be asked some questions about your general health, then you will lie on a couch fully clothed with your shoes off. During the session I will ask you to relax and tune into your body so your are aware of your body’s responses to the bodywork.

Some people find this difficult, if so I ask them to do some deep breathing and focusing work first, which usually helps.

 A Body Balance session normally lasts about ¾ of an hour and costs £28.

I also use Body Balance as part of my homeopathic practice.
