Ruth Brown - Aromatherapy, Breathe and be Calm Massage, Deep Tissue Massage (inc. mobilisation), Hot Stone Massage, Indian Head Massage, Massage (Holistic), On-Site Chair Massage, and Reflexology

I have been working as a Complementary Therapist for 8 years. Since I was a child I have always felt a deep infinity with nature which sparked my interest in Holistic Therapies. I look to natural forms of healing as way of treating mind, body and spirit , which with all the day to day stresses of modern life can become out of balance, creating tension and illness , both physically and mentally in ourselves.
I am trained in a wide range of therapies such as Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Deep Tissue Massage, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stone Massage and  Seated Acupressure as well as Spa treatments such as Scrubs , Body Wraps and Facials.
Many of these therapies originated in the Far East thousands of years ago and their roots can be found in Ayurvedic and  Chinese traditions. They treat the person as a whole rather than the isolated symptoms. Massage and reflexology not only relax the body and mind, but boost the immune system, release natural endorphins that can combat depression and anxiety, aid lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, tone the muscles, and release blockages in the energy channels  resulting in increased vitality and energy.
I believe the more we listen to our body’s messages the more it responds with increased health and vitality. We all deserve a bit of time out for ourselves to relax, switch off and recuperate in an environment where we can feel tranquil and safe. Holistic Therapies are to me a stepping stone on the pathway to self love, self awareness and spiritual development, where the needs of our body , mind and spirit are nurtured as a whole.

Qualifications

I trained at City of Bath College where I qualified in Complementary Therapies (VTCT Level 3) in 2011 and then Spa Therapies (VTCT level 3 ) in 2013.

Daniella Carrozza - Fusion Massage, Lomi Lomi & Deep Tissue and Lomi Lomi Massage

 

 

  • Holistic, Hands Free, Deep Tissue and Lomi Lomi Massage Therapist
  • Trained at the Bristol College of Massage & Body Work BCMB in 2008
  • Extensive hands free massage training with Darien Pritchard in 2011
  • The ancient Hawaiian practice of Lomi Lomi massage at the school of The Touch of Loving Presence in 2020.
  • BSc Hons Herbal Medicine, Middlesex University.
I began my journey as a therapist in my early 20s and trained initially as a medical herbalist.  This gave me a strong foundation for the body work that has become the backbone of my practice.  Over the years I have completed many trainings which have lead to an integrative approach to my clients health care needs.  After the birth of my children I have become increasingly interested in women’s health care especially in relation to the menstrual cycle.  That said I also enjoy and welcome working with both men and the contrast this provides in my work.
I work intuitively listening to the body and how its responding to the depth, pressure and speed of touch. Combining the breath, we work together to find the meeting point of release within the body at a structural, but also at an emotional level.
Fusion treatments are tailor made to provide you with a holistic experience.  When working on tension areas I combine techniques from various modalities such as deep tissue, mobilisation, trigger point release and myofacial work, which is then integrated through the beautiful long flowing strokes of the lomi lomi creating an overall connection to the body and deep release and restoration.
If you have an ongoing health problem that you want further support with I offer a herbal consultation with a body work session.  I take a full case history before the treatment which provides you with a taylor made herbal prescription.  This is a truly holistic approach looking at all the systems of the body and how they are functioning in isolation and as a whole.  This remedy you then take home with you and continue to take daily and can be part of an ongoing treatment plan or can be a stand alone support for you.

I have an extensive knowledge of women’s health, therefore gynaecological care feature heavily in my range of treatments. My extensive training in this field brings a deep understanding of the needs of women and enables me to extend my treatments to help with hormonal, physical and emotional changes for any stage of a women’s life.  The central focus is the womb space and we spiral out, working with whatever emerges from connecting at this crucial point. This work is deeply satisfying and is so greatly needed that I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to continue to grow and develop my calling.

Lomi Lomi Nui (The Great Massage) a gift from Hawaii was a sacred initiation ritual practiced in temples and sacred places. In addition to its many therapeutic effects, this traditional form of full body massage was designed to bring the receiver to a deeper connection with themselves and an expanded understanding of all that is. It is a journey of discovery and transformation, which brings us back to our true Selves.  It is a deeply relaxing and restorative treatment, using oils and long sweeping strokes that flow along the length of the body, a truly unique experience.

Testimonial

“Daniella connects on a level that I never experience anywhere else. Her skill is not only in her hands and technique but hugely in her senses and ability to feel out problems and issues just through touch and sense. Daniella has a unique technique whereby she synchronises her breathing with mine during the deep & effective massage treatments. Focussing on core issues Daniella deploys many different techniques that get to the root of the problem and she has the ability to push energies through the body, enlivening, releasing and replenishing energy stores. Offering an intimate, relaxed and wholly non-judgemental environment”

I gained a special interest in holistic health, wellness and natural beauty on my travels around the world. Having worked in the fashion industry for many years and still modelling well into my fifties -I have had a vested interest in how to look and feel ones best totally naturally!

I am trained in Reiki, Cranio-Sacral Therapy , Reflexologist AOR and specialise in maternity treatments often combining aromatherapy, massage and reflexology. Rejuvanessence and Facial Energy Release- face therapy. Qualified in Advanced Massage in 1990 and became an IFPA registered Aromatherapist and Rejuvanessence® practitioner in 1991.

My treatments often draw on a mélange of all these techniques with a strong holistic lean; I offer advice on how to optimise health naturally with life- style and supplements suggestions whilst complementing any conventional medical treatment. In a busy and often stressful world I believe that treatments can restore and revive the person, as well as offering support whilst going through a stressful time, recovering from illness, low energy or grief. Treatments can help to release pent up stress and tension to help you regain balance.

I have run many practitioner trainings since 2004 /2013 for The International Institute of Rejuvanessence and now run practitioner trainings in Facial Energy Release-face therapy.

Facial Energy Release – face therapy

This is a wonderful life-enhancing therapy that soothes away the ravages of modern life. Unique fingertip holistic therapy also known as “Angels Touch”.

It includes gentle, very precise massage of the 91 muscles of the face, neck skull and shoulders whilst also working on facial connective tissue making it more elastic and flexible.

As well as looking younger, clients often say that they feel invigorated, rejuvenated, healing.  Blissfully hypnotic touch works on lymph, acupuncture points releasing blocked energy and tension. A course of Facial Energy Release comprises of six sessions of 80 minutes each working on different groups of connective tissue and muscles.

Jo King - Mindful Reflexology and Reflexology

 

I’ve been working as a holistic therapist for over 5 years now, specialising in reiki and reflexology. My personal healing journey started when I was recovering from a cycling accident and hip surgery. Seeking deeper healing than what was just offered on the conventional route, I realized that recovery was also linked to mental, energetic, emotional and my spiritual self, thus I learned to self-heal through my reiki, energy healing journey and reflexology. I’m now trained at level 3 reiki or master/teacher level, although reiki has a habit of being the master of my life these days! Through my years of practice I’ve been able to attune to releasing trauma and past life traumas for clients which are stored in our energy fields and in turn can lead to dis-ease, discomfort and health conditions. Limiting self-belief systems and self-narratives learnt in childhood can also affect our energetic fields and cause dense energy build-ups and blockages in the body’s systems. Through reiki/energy healing sessions, the flow of energy can be restored and rebalanced throughout the energetic, emotional , mental and physical bodies. I also incorporate elemental/nature and crystal energies into my practices where guided to.

Training as a reflexologist, I wanted to acquire a deeper knowledge of the physical but also the mental and emotional connections in the body and its systems. Currently specialising in the Vagus nerve (Mindful) reflexology, which is a deeply relaxing and restorative treatment. Each of us lead busy lives at times and in this modern world we can often get stuck in the fight and flight (anxiety and stress) of everyday life situations. The Vagus nerve reflexology can help to calm the body’s organs and nervous system to a place of homeostasis, relaxation and balance. Frequently our bodies can come under unnecessary duress, which affects our holistic mental, physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. I’m grateful to be able to facilitate healing and support anyone that chooses to undertake their individual healing journey and a firm believer that our bodies are more than capable of self-healing through the healing practices.
