Sukhada Smith-Repass Reiki and Sound Healing, (Shambala Holistic Centre)
Reiki is a Japanese Technique for relaxation and stress reduction. Beneficial for all ailments. Sukhada has been giving reiki therapies since 1999, and she offers restorative reiki-yoga workshops. See reiki.org for more infomation on reiki. Sound Healing is the use of tuning forks on the body to restore harmony and balance. It works on similar principles to Reiki, and helps to restore harmony and balance & reduce stress. Each energy centre within the body has its own note, so when one receives sound healing, it's an aid to restore the body's natural vibration. Sukhada has completed 100 hours of sound healing training.
Sukhada is also qualified to do Rahanni. This is a gentle therapy that balances the masculine and feminine energies, working deeply at a heart level. It helps to heal emotions and is administered by a light hands touch with the client fully clothed on a massage couch.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
An ancient form of healing massage for the back, shoulders, scalp and face. To begin the client lies face down to receive a back, shoulders, neck and scalp massage, then the client sits up for the treatment to be completed with a chest, neck, face and top of scalp massage. This massage improves circulation, reduces stress, helps relieve eye strain, encourages muscle relaxation and promotes hair growth. It is a beneficial form of stress management, revitalising and balancing the body’s energy system.
REFLEXOLOGY
A gentle therapeutic pressure point massage, working on the reflex zones of the feet, which correspond to different parts of the body. Stimulating these reflex points can help with many health problems and boost the body’s healing ability. Restores natural balance and
promotes a sense of wellbeing. Wonderfully relaxing.
HOT STONE THERAPY MASSAGE (unavailable in 2017 and 2018)
Warmed volcanic stones, rich in minerals, are gently placed on the body’s vital energy centres, to create a healing and relaxing experience.
