Homoeopathy is a complete system of natural medicine. Its gentle methods treat the person as a whole and can be applied to any condition - physical and emotional.
The principles of homoeopathy date back as far as 460 BC to Hippocrates, the "Father" of Medicine.
The brilliant German Doctor Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843) through his scientific experimentation, confirmed that certain substances caused "symptoms" of disease in healthy people. By diluting these substances in measured doses he found that they could then cure the same symptoms as they caused.
Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating filiform needles into "acupuncture points" on the body with the aim of restoring health and well-being, e.g. treating pain and diseases.

Therapeutic Massage is loosely based on the Swedish Massage Technique, to become more intuitive to the client's needs and is tailored to suit the individual.

Yoga
All the major systems of the body benefit from regular yoga practise - through stretching and breath work the spine strengthens and becomes more flexible, muscles become more supple, digestion and circulation improve and the nerves calm.

Thai Foot Massage is one of the world's oldest healing arts and originated in India over 2500 years ago.

A stick is used to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body, thus resulting in benefits to general health and wellbeing.
