Quite simply "Rei" means Universal & "Ki" means Life Energy.
Reiki is a system of natural healing which is thousands of years old.
It is believed that it was first used by Tibetan Buddhist monks and underwent a rediscovery by Mikao Usui in the late 1800's.
Reiki is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.
Reiki treatments are given with you fully clothed and you can either sit or lie down.

Relaxation- Massage can help give an improved sense of wellbeing.
This in turn calms down the sympathetic nervous system, lowers stress, reduces blood pressure & releases those feel good endorphins to aid restful sleep.
Aches & pains- Massage can bring relief from general aches & pains caused by the growing baby and the natural changes your body goes through.
This includes reducing neck tension that can cause headaches and reducing stress on weight bearing joints & surrounding soft tissues.
Reduce swelling- Massage has an effect on the lymphatic & circulatory system and when used correctly, can help to reduce swelling (oedema) in the feet, legs & hands.

Whilst I can no longer offer appointments at Fitzgraham Academy of Dance, I am still happy to offer treatments in my clinic for students.
I am conveniently located a 5 minute walk away from the studio and have availability throughout the week.
There is a 10% discount off treatments for any competition students.
Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss suitability of treatments for your son/daughter.
Dance is a physically demanding activity that can put extra strains on a growing body.
Sarah has extensive experience working with and treating both dancers & gymnasts.

Almost my whole family has used Sarah at Affinity Bodyworks at one time or another.
A very competent therapist who has helped me, and also my daughter recover from a particularly nasty injury from gymnastics.
Very highly recommended.
Like many I tend to carry my stress in my neck and across the top of back between my shoulders.
Thankfully Sarah has worked on my back and neck to sort me out and I now find that a monthly maintenance visit keeps me in check.
After running the battle of Lansdown this weekend it was good to have Sarah around to loosen up my back to start the road to recovery.

Aside from the fact that they are a huge amount of fun, they are also a whole body (and mind) workout.
The OCR community is a friendly, inclusive & ever growing group of people.
Obstacles vary from deep mud, monkey bars, heavy carries, amongst many others (did I mention there's usually cold water?!) There's always going to be some running but the joy of having obstacles is there's never too far to run before you get a breather.
A large number of people walk/run & some just walk.
So, what are you waiting for?.
