Hilary North
Holistic Therapist ITEC Dip Sports Therapy, VTCT Dip Swedish and Indian Head Massage
Hilary has been practising massage in various forms since 2004.
These include Swedish and Indian Head massage, Sports and Hot Stone therapy.
The latter, an ancient treatment is proving extremely popular and involves the use of smooth water-heated basalt stones covered in oil. The therapist is able to reach ten times deeper into the soft tissue, making the treatment more intense, but less rigorous than Swedish or Sports Massage.
As with other forms of massage the body is encouraged to relax, detox and heal.
Hilary also offers Acupressure Massage which is a way of accessing and releasing blocked or congested energy centres within the body. Acupressure is related to Acupuncture, but does NOT involve the use of needles.
The practitioner uses their hands, thumbs, forearms and elbows to release the blocked energy in the body, by applying pressure directly over one or several acupressure points, whilst the client remains seated and fully-clothed.
Acupressure can help reduce some kinds of physical and emotional conditions,
but is not recommended during pregnancy or for those with low blood pressure.
