Shona Rae Reflexology

Reflexology in Dundee

Hi, I'm Shona Rae and I'd like to tell you a little bit about the therapies I offer in the Dundee area.

Mainsteam science is becoming much more accepting of the fact that the mind can have a powerful effect on our health, and research is showing that our thoughts can influence our ability to assist our bodies to heal themselves. I believe that when we are stressed, even through the day to day things like work, running a home, bringing up children etc, our thought processes can sometimes become quite negative and this may eventually manifest in physical symptoms that can affect our ability to cope. We can help to change this to a more positive focus by taking steps to redress any imbalance in our lives. We can learn to listen to our bodies and to make time to recharge in a positive way. Reflexology, Reiki and Indian Head Massage are all complementary therapies that have ancient origins but, in my opinion, have a valuable place in our lives today. They are all wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating. Whether you choose, or are advised, to have a course of treatments or an hour of 'me-time' once a month you may wish you had done it years ago!

All that said, no complimentary therapies are intended to take the place of conventional medicine. You should always seek the advice of your GP if you are worried about your symptoms.

Reflexology

Reflexology offers an holistic approach to your general health and aims to play a role in helping to restore balance and maintain optimal well-being. It may be effective for various ailments, including:

• Back pain
• Fertility issues
• Joint pain
• Sleep disorders
• Hormonal imbalances
• Stress and anxiety
• Stress-related digestive disorders

Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe.

Reflexology is an ancient therapy but was only developed in the west in the early part of the 20th Century. The Ingham Method^ of Reflexology I have been trained in is holistic in nature so treats the person as a whole but allows for the targeting of specific problem areas you may be experiencing. While relaxing in nature, it is most definitely not a simple foot massage. So, if you are looking for a clinical approach to reflexology, then this is what I provide.

Reiki

I am a Reiki Master practitioner and would love to introduce you to the wonderful benefits of this gentle modality. Reiki is a non-intrusive 'hands-on' therapy that works with universal energy and may bring you increased well-being and relaxation on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Its effects are subtle, but I have found it a powerful influence in my life. As well as receiving Reiki from a qualified practitioner, if you find it inspiring, you yourself can be attuned to enable you to use the energy for your own benefit and for the benefit of your family and friends. In my own experience, regular self-treatments ease my aches and pains and provide a meditative space that helps me to focus on the important things in life and gets things in perspective. Individual experiences will, of course, vary. You will only know if you try it out!

Indian Head Massage

In my experience this is a fabulously relaxing, and uplifting therapy. As well as working on the head, massage of the neck, back, shoulders, arms, scalp and face are incorporated into the treatment. Stimulation of many of the points on the major energy meridians on the head, neck and back may help to relieve stress-related head symptoms such as headaches, neck and shoulder tension and as a result aid better sleep. Along with the use of your choice of essential oils and balms to enhance the experience, a 50 minute session could transport you to your very own nirvana. Bliss!
