REFLEXOLOGY AND HEAD MASSAGE IN CHESTERFIELD, DERBYSHIRE
Touch Therapy Head Massage
Touch releases oxytocin which counteracts all the stress hormones.
When I massage the head, I am working directly over the brain, so it very quickly sends calming messages to the whole nervous system.
Head massage may help with many conditions , including sleep difficulties, migraines and sinus issues.
The benefits of Touch Therapy Head Massage
- Stress reduction & cortisol drop: scalp massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol and increasing serotonin and dopamine.
- Improved circulation: rhythmic pressure increases blood flow to the scalp and cranial tissues.
- Headache relief: effective for tension headaches by releasing tight muscles in the scalp, neck, and shoulders.
- Mood enhancement: neurochemical shifts support relaxation, clearer focus, and emotional balance.
- Muscle tension release: helps reduce jaw, temple, and occipital tightness from stress or posture.
What to expect from the treatment
The head massage starts with gentle deep breathing and then I start to massage the whole head using gentle acupressure points, smooth rhythmic scalp stimulation and massage movements using my palms, fingers and thumbs.
I also massage around the face area, including the forehead, temples, eyebrows, jaw, chin and ears.
I usually use a divinely jasmine scented oil to allow for a smooth flow, but it can be done without the oil if you prefer.
As well as massaging the head, I use a deep massaging technique on your lower neck, down onto your shoulders and the muscles behind, using a massage oil.
For the treatment itself it is best to wear something loose that can be easily removed for the neck and shoulder massage - don't worry I always provide a lovely covering (warm in winter and cool in summer) so you don't feel exposed.
Also remember that you will need to remove any earrings and necklaces.
Touch Therapy Head Massage by itself is a deeply relaxing treatment, helping to reduce stress, lower cortisol, ease tension headaches and promote relaxation.
However you can also combine it with foot reflexology for what I call my 'Top & Tail' treatment. First I do the head massage, then move to your feet to deliver a full foot reflexology treatment.
You can also combine it with the Luxury Foot Ritual into a Luxury Top & Tail Ritual - floating out of the treatment room is guaranteed!
Whether you're managing stress, seeking balance, or simply craving some "me time", my treatments are tailored to your needs.
