Remedial/Relaxation Massage (including Aromatherapy Oils) is used to target specific injuries that cause pain and discomfort. The benefits include increased blood flow, reduction of muscular tension and spasm, pain reduction, increase mobility, and pliability of scar tissue. Relaxation Massage is more focused on relieving stress, anxiety etc. It is rejuvenating to the body, mind and soul. Aromatherapy oils can be effectively used in either massage to assist in specific ailments whether it is an emotional or physical issue.

Shiatsu is a form of oriental healing which works on the acupressure points of the body. Desired pressure is applied using different parts of the body to relieve pain and tension. Shiatsu is used to calm and centre the body for healing, allowing energy (’Ki’) to flow freely through the body and prepare the body for meditation and promote well-being.

Facial Acupressure Massage is also based on the oriental acupressure, working on vital pressure points and certain reflex areas of the face to stimulate functions of the major organs and eliminate tension which contributes to facial lines. The benefit of this type of massage is essentially for the face, although, because it promotes vital energy flow, it has the effect of creating a feeling of rejuvenation of the whole body.

Flower Essences are simple remedies made from flowers, wood and twigs. The most commonly used are ‘Bach flower remedies’ and Australian bush flower remedies. Each remedy applies to the emotional states that can accompany many physical disorders. Flower essences can be used to relieve emotional distress, such as grief, shock, fear, hatred, irritability, despair and anxiety, etc.

Natural Magic is a concept focused on the, mental, physical and spiritual aspects of health. The services and products provided are designed to assist all of these areas, including stress and pain relief, stretching and strengthening exercises, relaxation techniques, tips and information on natural remedies for common ailments, etc. The pace of modern living seems to be increasing with our competing demands of family, friends, work and stresses created by our interactions with technology.

If we were to choose the disorder that best characterizes our current era, it might well be anxiety – that feeling of dis-ease (lack of ease and harmony) with oneself and the world. Physically it can manifest as symptoms of discomfort or pain in the stomach, as tension around the neck and shoulders, headaches, pounding heart, rising blood pressure, insomnia, digestive problems, etc.

Mentally and emotionally, it might cause you to be irritable, oversensitive, short-tempered and paranoid, and may be related to the onset of depression. Natural Magic recognizes that for the mind, body and soul to be in a state of homeostasis and for true healing to take place there needs to be a gradual shift in attitudes and outlook for peace of mind and inner happiness.
