Ayurvedic lifestyle coaching, nutritional advice and detox plans, combined to create a mind, body and spirit connection
"All disease begins when we forget our true nature or spirit. Ayurveda shows us the way to create balance and find our true nature again." Loretta Heywood
Ayurveda is "the science of life", an ancient and natural healthcare tradition originating in India over 5,000 years ago. It gives us the knowledge of how to live in harmony with our bodies for a healthy, happy, stress-free life. This natural system uses various methods, including massage and nutrition, to balance the whole being: the physical body, mind, emotions and sprit. (See How Ayurveda helps.)
Holistic Deep tissue and Ayurvedic massage
Therapist Loretta Heywood offers treatments that differ from other massages as they work not only on the deeper muscles but by calming the nervous system and revitalising the body’s energy. This means that tension and stress that has been long held within the body and mind is released, promoting relaxation at a much deeper level and facilitating relief from pain. (See Combined Massage Therapy page.)
The ailments most helped by massage are: physical pain (legs, back, neck and shoulders), insomnia, anxiety, deep-set muscular tension, headaches and emotional stress. All treatments are personalised and follow a short consultation to assess your needs.
Personalised detox plans
Loretta offers holistic detox plans (see below) based on the traditional cleansing principles of Panchakarma, and adapted so they are easy to incorporate into a busy city lifestyle. These plans give not only a physical release of toxins, but help you regain control of your life, your weight and your eating habits. The programmes can include massage, Loretta’s main treatment for relaxation and detoxification. Many clients say their detox has given them a sense of achievement and motivation, helping them regain awareness and balance on many levels.
Loretta’s personal approach to people will welcome you to the world of Ayurveda in an “easy to grasp” way .If a detox is not what is needed at this point in time then a Diet and lifestyle consultation is usually suggested to look at any health problems or emotional issues you may have.
