Body Soul Healing
​Aileen Durkan Holistic Therapies
Lomi Lomi Massage
Lomi Lomi Hawaiian massage is a complete healing system aimed at restoring balance and harmony within the body, mind and spirit.
This form of massage uses intuitive movement, breathing, rhythm and focused intention. Lomi lomi massage has a depth to it that perhaps other massage techniques do not carry, in that Lomi also focuses in on an energetic and soul level bringing awareness and healing to all parts of the self.
The practitioner uses their forearms, hands and elbows in a deep dynamic flowing rhythm which has similarities with the waves of the ocean. Rhythmic techniques and intuition are the great tools of the Lomi Lomi practitioner.
This massage can be adapted to suit pregnancy.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves the manipulation of pressure points on the feet that correspond to the systems and organs of the body.
By working on these 'reflex' points, the body can be brought back to balance. Reflexology is great for de-stressing the body and mind, promoting a feeling of deep relaxation.
It can help treat insomnia, digestive disorders, headache/migrane, infertility and boosts the immune system and general wellbeing.
Anti-Cellulite Massage
This massage is designed to target areas where cellulite most commonly builds up (legs, buttocks, abdomen) or can also be adapted to a full body treatment.
A combination of swedish massage, myofacial release, lymphatic drainage, acupressure and aromatherapy are used. These will increase circulation, break down fatty deposits, release tension in the muscles and improve the appearance of the skin.
Clients usually begin to see a reduction in visible cellulite from between 6 – 10 treatments depending on body types and the frequency of treatment. Clients are advised that in certain areas the pressure can feel a bit uncomfortable for example the thighs and abdomen can be quite sensitive.
Aromatherapy Facial
This facial combines the use of acupressure, facial massage and lymphatic drainage techniques with the use of aromatherapy. An aromatherapy blend will be chosen to suit the clients needs assessing skin type,energy levels, and how the client is feeling in general.
The facial begins with the stimulation of acupressure points to the shoulders, neck, scalp and face and followed by a cleanse, exfoliation and toning. The aromatherapy oil blend will then be used for the facial massage, also involving the shoulders and neck. The green clay mask will then be applied to help nourish the skin and draw out any impurities. Finally a serum and moisturiser will be massaged into the skin followed by the gentle stimulation of aupressure points to the face and scalp.
This facial is beneficial for all skin types as it is designed to provide balance. It is also beneficial for poor muscle tone, jaw pain, muscular tension, eye strain, sinusitis, headaches and stress.
Holistic Massage
Holistic Massage is an intuitive massage designed to treat the the person as a whole being, Body, Mind and Soul.
This type of therapy is designed to help the body heal itself by balancing energy levels, reducing stress and tension and increasing general health and wellbeing.
I try to incorporate all my teachings to this therapy by bringing in aspects of traditional chinese medicine, aromatherpy and sports massage techniques when required.
Deep Tissue/ Sports Massage
Deep Tissue massage aims to release chronic patterns of tension in the body by applying deep and slow pressure. I also incorporate my knowledge of sports massage by adding stretches and trigger point therapy. This is very effective in releasing spasms in the muscles.
Sports massage helps to treat common sporting injuries such as tennis elbow and runners knee etc but it is also very effective in treating tendonitis, sprains and strains, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries etc.
Pre and post event sports massage can help warm the muscles and increase flexilibity before a sporting event and loosen and relax stiff muscles or strained muscles after the event.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy massage uses a blend of natural essential oils derived from plants and plant matter to bring about healing on a pysiological, emotional and spiritual level.
Each belnd of essential oils are personailised to your needs and treats the client is a very holistic way.
Aromatherapy stimulates the immune system and provides deep relaxation. It is beneficial for all systems of the body; respiratory, digestive, lymphatic, reproductive, neurological etc.
Indian Head Massage
Indian head massage is based on an ancient Indian system of healing called Ayurveda. This treatment combines the use of marma point stimulation, gentle stretching and traditional indian massage techniques.
This massage invovles the treatment of the upper back, neck, scalp and face using nourishing oils chosen specifically for each client depending on skin and hair type (coconut, sweet almond, sesame, jojoba, macademia nut, argan)
