7 Solutions for Reducing Stress

Like many people, you’ve probably got plenty going on in your life – family obligations, work, keeping track of the bills, to-do lists, doctors’ appointments and much more. Sometimes it’s like climbing a mountain, never knowing if you will ever reach the top, but somehow you manage to keep moving forward. Every so often a major unexpected event comes up: a financial setback, dramatic increase in workload or an illness of a loved one. Pressures like these, on top of our normal pressures, can tilt our emotional balance. Getting back on an even keel can be challenging.

Being emotionally out of balance is a pretty common experience in today’s fast-paced society. Anxiety, fatigue, anger, sleeplessness and the feeling of being overwhelmed are among the symptoms of stress that millions of people may feel every day. Without effective emotion-management skills, being emotionally imbalanced can turn into a downward spiral.

Our training and treatments offer a unique range of ways that you can overcome these issues. Massage treatments stimulate the body to enter its parasympathetic stage usually entered when you sleep - where it slows down the metabolism, rests, restores and repairs its cells, tissues, organs and brain function. It also improves blood circulation which is vital for transporting oxygen and toxins around the body to keep your body alive and well. Skin brushes and body exfoliation treatments help the skin, the largest organ in the human body, to renew itself and perform its tasks such as toxin removal, protection and temperature regulation. Well-Being treatments such as relfexology, reiki, meditations, counselling, hypnotherapy, emotional freedom technique (tapping), ear candling, shirodhara, metabolism tests, chakra balancing, detox programmes, facial treatments, weight loss and organic oils for health, can all help you rebalance in different ways that are appropraite your health condition and stress levels.
