Reflexology (1 hour £28)

Reflexology is a non-invasive treatment that is based on the theory that the body is mapped out in the feet with ‘Reflex points’, the feet being a mirror image of the body. The reflex points correspond to different organs and structures of the body and by gently finger and thumb walking the reflex points, imbalances may be noted. The aim of Reflexology is to bring your body back to a natural balance, homeostasis. With over 7000 nerve endings in each foot, the nerve endings are stimulated and a reflexology treatment will promote a deep state of relaxation, stimulate and improve circulation and promote well being. An immensely relaxing and wonderful treatment, suitable for all ages from birth to the elderly.

Hot Stones Reflexology (1 hour £35)

Hot Basalt Stones are incorporated into the Reflexology treatment. The stones penetrate to a deeper level enhancing the benefits of the treatment. A truly relaxing and calming treatment.

Luxury Reflexology (1hour 30mins £40)

A Reflexology treatment with the added pamper of a foot soak and exfoliate.

Holistic Clay Facial (1 hour £30)

A natural clay face mask is made to suit your skin type and aims to nourish and refresh. Enjoy a relaxing hand and arm massage when the clay mask has been applied and the treatment is rounded off with a toning facial massage with your preference of either a face cream or essential oil blend.

Following a consultation, all treatments are tailored to meet your individual needs therefore you may experience different massage modalities as follows below:

Massage Therapies

Clinical Aromatherapy

Clinical Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils blended in a carrier oil. All essential oils have different therapeutic properties therefore a blend will be created specifically for you, focussing on your physical, mental and emotional needs

Bellabaci Cupping Massage

Bellabaci Cupping Massage is the use of silicone cups that are squeezed to create a suction on the skin and tissues. They provide a negative pressure, i.e. suction, therefore can be used directly over bones and joints providing greater coverage of all muscles. They can provide up to 10cm deeper than manual massage therefore excellent for providing a deep tissue massage and for detoxification.

Hot Stones Massage

Hot Stones Massage is the use of Hot Basalt Stones. The heat of the stones warms and relaxes the muscles, in turn allowing deeper pressure without discomfort.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is the use of slow and firm strokes, more pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscles and tissues.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is a relaxing massage of the scalp, face, upper back, neck, shoulders and arms. Traditionally this is carried out in a seated position however it may also be carried out laying on the massage couch.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a great way to soothe aches and pains, and promote relaxation during pregnancy.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is the use of long, gliding, kneading strokes to promote relaxation.

What my clients say...

“Mel was recommended to me nearly 3 years ago, after I mentioned to a mutual friend that I was feeling neck, shoulder and back pain. So I booked an appointment and haven't looked back since. I booked a Full Body Massage and afterwards felt like a new person. Mel is very professional, friendly and reassuring. Today as a birthday gift, my husband treated me to a Reflexology session as I had never had one before. I was really taken aback at the precision it involved which Mel explained to me as she worked her ‘magic’. Most amazing of all, was how relaxed I felt afterwards...so Mel and her treatments come highly recommended. Everyone deserves to care for themselves...Let Mel give you a helping hand or two.”

Suzanne T

“I cannot recommend Harmony Therapies highly enough. I’ve been using their services for a number of years and have never been disappointed. I regularly have leg massages to soothe my arthritic knees and help dissipate the fluid retention. Mel is both caring and professional as well as a truly wonderful being.”

Catherine J

“Mel is excellent at what she does, my wife and I cannot fault her treatments. I have a full body massage and it helps massively with my physical job I do day in day out. My wife would not use anyone else for her beauty treatments too.”

Mark H

“Mel really has a personal touch in more ways than one. She ensures you feel safe and comfortable taking the time to understand your needs and concerns. I had a lot of tension in my shoulders and lower back. The massage was a mix of sport and relaxation. The whole experience was blissful. I can’t wait for my next appointment in a couple of weeks.”

Debra P

“Melissa’s reflexology is amazing and so relaxing.”
