Gaia Natura

I have been a therapist for almost 30 years, and I have seen some wonderful healings take place. I started my life as a therapist offering reflexology and clinical aromatherapy massage.

I combine the two, using the techniques of reflexology and the aromatic oils that I fell in love with to bring about deep relaxation to mind, body and soul. As we know, if the body is relaxed and at peace, even for a short time, it can begin to heal.

Essential oils are more than gorgeous smelling substances that you can put in the bath or spray around the room. They have deeply profound qualities, and they work on multiple levels. For instance, take the pungent, sharp and deliciously floral lavender essential oil. People usually use it for relaxation and to help with insomnia, but did you know that lavender essential oil is linked to the throat chakra and can assist in clear communication and open dialogue with yourself and others. Another interesting fact about lavender is that it is  associated with the Archangels Gabriel, Chamuel, Raphael and Uriel. If you meditate using this essential oil in an incense burner or deeply inhale it, it can help you to connect with these angels and ask for their assistance. There are many essential oils and a full body massage using essential oils is a wonderful experience.

Over the years I have added to the therapies that I offer. When I first trained as a reflexologist it was only just becoming popular but since then fertility reflexology and facial reflexology have been developed and I added them to my repertoire. I have also been very lucky to be able to develop my own method of menopause reflexology, which many women have found very helpful.  I offer all three as separate and individually tailored therapies.

Facial reflexology is an alternative to foot reflexology. Some people do not like having their feet touched or may find it ticklish and so reflexology on the face is a great way to have a reflexology session. The treatment is given on the face, head and neck and includes a deeply relaxing facial massage. It begins with deep cleansing and exfoliating and finishes with a gorgeous facial mask and head massage.  As well as the benefits of a traditional reflexology treatment the face is left glowing and lifted. Many people, both male and female, have reported seeing colours and images and of drifting into a deep state of relaxation.

I love what I do and am so grateful to be able to share these therapies. We seem to live in a world where we all have to detach from one another but receiving a hands on therapy such as reflexology or aromatic massage can help us to reconnect with our inner self and offer some peace to our minds and bodies.

Foot Reflexology

Using essential oil infused balm, a foot reflexology treatment promotes relaxation and improved wellbeing and allows the body to move towards homeostasis

Fertility Reflexology

Modern life can take a toll on the body. When this happens hormones can become out of balance. Fertility reflexology aims to normalise the hormones and aids in relaxation in order to prepare for conception and pregnancy

Menopause Reflexology

Promotes balance throughout the body and helps supports during this magnificent change. Menopause is a totally nature event and can be freeing and liberating but it may not always feel like that. This treatment will help to normalise hormones and help with menopause symptoms such as the hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia and anxiety.

Facial Reflexology

This treatment works in the same way as foot reflexology but is performed on the face, neck and head. It gives all the benefits of a traditional reflexology treatment with the added advantage of draining lymph and improving circulation to the face therefore improving skin tone and texture.

Aromatherapy Massage

Using a range of essential oils for specific ailments an aromatherapy massage provides deep relaxation to mind body and soul, as well as improving circulation, soothing muscles and draining lymph.

Emotional Freedom Technique
Have you ever wondered what on earth EFT or tapping is? It does seem a bit out there but there is proof that if you tap on parts of the face, head and neck and repeat positive affirmations whilst doing so, the tension and anxiety will leave the body. EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Technique, or tapping which it is also known as.
The underlying principle of EFT is that our emotions and thoughts are a form of energy and that they lodge in pressure points in the body. Following the same principle as acupuncture and acupressure, by manipulating/tapping these points we can release the build-up of energy and find relief in doing so.
I am offering 15-minute free treatments that will explain the concept and give a taste of what a session would be like. If you would like to try it, please do get in touch.
Reiki
Reiki is not bound by time or space. A Reiki treatment can be given in person or online. In fact some people do not even offer treatments online, they just arrange a time and place, the client gets comfortable and the Reiki practitioner send the healing over a distance. I like to offer treatments in person and online. The same principle as an in person treatment applies if the treatment is done over Zoom. We will arrange a time to meet, you will get comfortable in any way you wish and I will give the treatment. I do like to offer a short meditation before I start the treatment. This will help you to become nicely relaxed. I also like to have a chat beforehand so that we can get to know one another and strike up a rapport.
