Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage 

 

 

Ayurvedic face massage

Friday 7th May 2010 ~ 10.00 - 4.00

Taught by Terri McLean ~ £90 

 

Ayurvedic Face Massage is possibly one of the oldest facial rejuvenation routines in the world. The massage is deeply relaxing and uses oils to encourage the removal of toxins, promote harmony and balance in the body as well as stimulating facial muscles and marma points.
The massage has many different names, including Indian Face Lift, Ayurvedic Face Lift, and Ayurvedic Facial Rejuvenation etc. Essentially they are all the same routine and all have the same effects. 
The massage focuses on the head and neck and uses specific oils to release deeply held tension making the skin appear toned and healthy.  It also detoxifies, stimulates circulation and enhances lymphatic drainage.

Russian Honey and Cupping Massage

Next date ~ TBA

Taught by Terri McLean ~ £90 


Honey Massage
Russian Honey Massage – also sometimes known as Tibetan or Ukrainian Honey Massage -  is an ancient treatment that has been practised in Asia and eastern European countries for hundreds of years.

Since the abolition of the Soviet Union, the therapy has spread to western European countries, where it has become very popular with massage therapists and in spas.

Honey is applied to the skin then massaged until it becomes sticky, then it is worked using special techniques until the consistency changes and white pellets appear on the skin surface. These pellets are believed to be toxins and salts that have been drawn from the body and have been absorbed into the honey.

In addition, beneficial nutrients from the honey are transferred to the body’s tissues and the skin is left feeling nourished and moisturised.


Cupping massage
Although most commonly associated nowadays with Chinese medicine, cupping and cupping massage has been practised in nearly every country and on every continent at one time or another, and was regularly practised in the UK until the early 1800s

By creating suction and negative pressure,  cupping massage is a deep tissue massage used to stimulate the peripheral nervous system,  bring blood flow to stagnant muscles, loosen adhesions and drain excess fluid and toxins.

Massage with cups still forms part of Traditional Russian massage and is used prior to performing honey massage by increasing circulation to the skin, so that toxins are more easily absorbed by the honey and  the beneficial nutrients of the honey are more easily absorbed by the skin.

Another beneficial aspect of cupping massage is its use in therapist injury prevention. This method allows  rest for the hands from repetitive movement and enables the therapist to get deeper without discomfort to the client or herself

Although they traditionally go together, both honey massage and cupping massage are treatments in their own right and can be used separately

The course is one day in length and will cover -
Cupping and Honey massage of the back
Cupping and Honey Massage of the Face
Cupping and Honey massage for cellulite

Recognised by FHT, others pending
