Eve Woollacott

Eve first studied massage in Thailand where she learned the traditional Thai massage techniques and Thai foot massage. Back in the UK she obtained a diploma in Holistic/Swedish massage and likes to combine aspects of Thai techniques into her practice using firm strokes towards the heart that release tension throughout the body. Eve’s full body treatment works on all the major muscle groups including the abdominals, head and face. This encourages deep relaxation and allows her clients to fully recharge physically and mentally.

Eve’s Thai foot massage is similar to Reflexology and incorporates the use of a traditional Thai wooden stick specially designed to apply direct pressure onto particular areas of the soles of the feet. This technique has many benefits, ie;

• it improves circulation in the hands and feet

• it stimulates lymphatic drainage

• it helps to remove toxins

• it removes mental tiredness

• greatly improves general wellbeing

Eve uses a combination of fragrant oils and creams to aid relaxation throughout her treatments.
Eve begins her practice at Bodywise on July 1 2010 and will be here every fortnight on a Thursday between 5-9pm.

RUTH LANDER

Special offer: £10 off an hour/£5 off half an hour throughout May and June. One treatment per person. Available to new and returning customers

Ruth trained at the British School of Shiatsu-Do and qualified as a shiatsu practitioner in 2005. In 2008 she obtained a diploma in Sports Injuries and Massage after studying at the London School for the Treatment of Sports Injuries.

Recent research shows that Shiatsu can help with relaxation, reducing muscular tension, improving sleep and increasing energy levels. Some other conditions which have been helped by shiatsu include headaches, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthmatic symptoms and sports injuries.

Sports Massage is a deep tissue massage that is not just for athletes and sports injuries. It can also help relieve many of the everyday problems we can all suffer from. Sports massage can promote relaxation, reduce muscular tension and pain and improve circulation. It is excellent for preventing injuries [including repetitive strain] and for injury treatment and rehabilitation. It can also help you avoid the reoccurence of ‘old’ injuries.

Ruth practices at Bodywise on Friday evenings from 5 – 9pm

I want all my clients to be healthy. I listen to each client carefully and tailor each treatment to get the best outcome. I am from Japan and come from a family of oriental medical practitioners. I practice Deep Tissue Massage and Holistic Massage at Bodywise. Deep Tissue Massage focuses on stiff and knotted muscles to the deeper level. The therapist uses slow and deep strokes across the grain of the muscles to release the tension. It can also release emotional stress in the deeper layers of the body. Holistic Massage focuses on whole body and mind. It aims to balance the state of the body and the mind to enable them to support themselves. It is a relaxing full body massage using gentle strokes on the body tissues. My massage has helped people with: Back pain, Stiff shoulders & neck, RSI, Sciatica, Trapped nerve, Muscle strain, Headaches, Stress, Anxiety, depression, Insomnia, Tiredness. Massage is safe and wonderfully relaxing. Regular massage promotes health of the body and mind and reduces the chance of illness.
