Deep Tissue Massage (Swedish Massage)

This type of massage is received all over the body while reclining comfortably on a massage couch. Oils can be introduced at your request.

Hopi Ear Candling (Thermal Auricular Therapy)

There are some schools of belief that think this type of candling was used in China, Tibet and India. In a ceremonial manner candling may have been used by the Egyptian, Mayan and Aztec cultures. However, the use of this ancient and natural therapy appears to have been handed down to us by the peoples of Asia and the Native American Indians. The common name for these candles is 'Hopi', taken from the Hopi Indians that first shared their knowledge with the Europeans.

The treatment is pleasant and non-invasive, and eases the pressure in the sinuses. It can also help alleviate excessive or compacted wax in the ears, headaches or migraines, tinnitus and ringing in the ear, irritations in the ears or sinuses, sinusitis and glue ear. Many clients have said that they felt relieved and lighter in the area of the ears and head in general. After a treatment most of the impurities are carried away through the candle ‘chimney’, though some can be found in the candle wax residue after removal from the ear.
