ABOUT KANCHANA
Kanchana is a skilled practitioner of the Thai Healing Arts of Massage and Reflexology. She studied and qualified in Massage and Reflexology in the Wat Po Temple – Thailand’s first University set up to keep these ancient revitalising arts alive. The Wat Po Temple is one of two official institutions in Thailand that is regulated by the government and teaches massage to a professional level setting very high standards with rigorous training. She moved to England from Udon Thani in Northern Thailand in 2007 and began her massage practice at the Centre almost immediately. Her practice has thrived since then and she is much in demand for her healing hands!
THAI WAT PO MASSAGE
Traditional Thai massage is a unique form of therapy used to relax, rejuvenate and revitalise the body and mind. Over two thousand years ago the Buddhists in Thailand developed skilled massage and body manipulation techniques that help balance the energies of the body by stimulating the natural energy lines (meridians) and pressure points within the body. It is recommended to book at least an hour’s appointment so Kanchana has time to massage the whole of your body, giving you a comprehensive treatment. If time doesn’t allow or you just want to try Thai Massage, Kanchana offers shorter appointments focusing on the neck, back and shoulders. These are great to help ‘take the weight off your shoulders’.
THAI OIL MASSAGE
Thai Oil Massage is extremely relaxing. It tends to be a little softer than Traditional Thai Massage. It’s a wonderfully soothing massage that also focuses on the meridians and pressure points, stimulating the flow of vital energy. The powerful soothing properties of oils relax body and mind, reduce fatigue and clear out toxins from the skin and muscles.
FOOT MASSAGE / REFLEXOLOGY
Foot massage or reflexology is a truly relaxing experience and if you’ve never tried it, it’s definitely worth trying at least a 30 minute introductory session. We’re often on our feet all day, carrying the weight of our body, yet we forget about them. Not only do the feet feel renewed after a session, the massage gives a sense of calmness and serenity. The foot massage stimulates the activity of internal organs. For thousands of years throughout Eastern Asia it has been widely believed that certain areas of the feet correlate to the internal organs and different parts of the body. By massaging the specific areas reflexology helps bring about both stress relief and physical healing.
