BLISS MASSAGE

Now stocking GreenPeople products - organic, natural products for all the family.

Who am I?

My name is Helen and I decided to practice massage whilst trying to concieve our second child.  I found that massage and other holistic therapies had relaxed me after the birth of my first baby and relieved the stress of secondary infertility. 

I took a great interest in how different types of holistic therapies could assist in the body in self healing and how it could aid people with different problems and how it could be used as an excellent relaxation therapy.

What qualifications have I got?

'I have CIBT Diploma and IIHHT'..

IIHHT qualifications are prestigious and internationally recognised external qualifications awarded by VTCT (Vocational Training Charitable Trust). VTCT is the major awarding body in the UK for S/NVQs in Beauty Therapy and has been established for over 40 years.

I am fully insured with BABTC.

It is the premier UK association for beauticians and therapists and is widely recognised as one of the longest standing and most influential bodies for the industry.

What is massage?

Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy involving of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax the body and mind, stimulate the blood flow, and tone the body.

Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues(the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves.

Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.

Massage can help calm the mind which can stimulate the body to heal itself and aid with positive emotions.

How can massage help you

Massage can help in many ways.  Here are some of the benefits.

1.Relaxing.
2.Soothing.
3.Healing.
4.Reassuring.
5.Eases tension, stiffness, and pain.
6.Improves breathing.
7.Improves circulation.
8.Enhances well-being.

How many sessions should I have?

Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire body mechanism, and so help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses.

It is better to have a massage on a regular basis and continue for as long as possible rather than have many sessions, but for a short period of time.  The time between sessions will be recommended at the consultation. 

Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system and thus help reduce fatigue and will leave you with a feeling of renewed energy. At its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.
