						The Stress Buster
						My own experience of 'beauty salon' massages is that they send you to sleep very 
						nicely but (in my experience) have no lasting effect. If you are stressed out or 
						worn out, being relaxed into a state of unconsciousness has little effect on its own. 
						Having the skills to recognise and treat the physical causes and effects of tiredness, 
						stress and lethargy means that I can provide a treatment that is both thoroughly 
						relaxing AND effective in the longer term.
  
						The whole tone of a relaxation session is very different from my other treatments. 
						I can use yoga breathing and visualisation, learned from many years of practice, to 
						ensure that you are mentally relaxed. The techniques and movements used are similar 
						to those used in deep tissue work but are applied with less pressure and more continuous 
						movement.
  
						Muscles are gently stretched and relieved of toxins, subcutaneous tissue lesions are 
						broken down and any deeper muscular problems are dealt with appropriately. Aromatic 
						oils can be used if requested and the treatment can finish with a face or scalp massage 
						if you wish. If I am not able to treat any specific muscle tension that I find without 
						disturbing the 'flow' of your relaxing treatment, I will give you the choice as to how 
						I proceed.
