Chi: (pronounced “CHEE”)
Chi is energy that circulates throughout the body’s meridians carrying with it a life force.
Our lifestyles today leave little time to look after our bodies. Ongoing stress seems to play a major part in our everyday lives which leaves us out of balance. It is my firm belief that massage and reiki treatments are a necessity, not something we treat ourselves to occasionally.
I work mostly intuitively and let my hands move to where the body is in need of treatment. You receive a total body experience, which seeks to unite aspects of yourself on all levels while providing general relaxation of the muscles and nerves. The goal of a holistic relaxation massage or a reiki session is to achieve an overall feeling of well being.
The term holistic means to consider all factors when treating an illness, ailment or problem (physical, mental, and social conditions). Each person is a system which includes the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects of ourselves. To be able to treat an illness, you must identify what individual symptoms are telling us about each of these aspects to unearth the actual cause of this illness.
* Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well... and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man. * James H. West
What is a relaxation massage:
Relaxation or Swedish Massage is a general full body massage, which is most beneficial in deep relaxation, soothing the muscles and nerves for an overall feeling of well being.
What to expect at your first massage session:
Before beginning your first massage session, I will give you a health history form to complete which will be kept confidential and will then take a few minutes to talk with you about your general health, stress levels, lifestyle, and your expectations of the massage e.g. areas you want to focus on etc. A pressure scale will be established before the massage so I know what level of pressure you are comfortable with, keeping in mind that it is a relaxation massage and depth or pressure will also depend on when last you had any previous body work done as massage in general can dislodge toxins in the muscles, which need to be released slowly.
Changing will take place in private and you will be provided with a wrap in the form of a towel. During your massage you will be covered appropriately and only the area being worked on will be exposed. I will check with you during the course of the massage with regards to pressure.
As each person and part of their body is treated as an individual, it is massaged according to the way it feels to me at the time of the massage. I work a lot by intuition and this leads me in your massage, so you can say each massage is tailor-made to suit your body's needs. If it is your first session and you do need abit more work in certain areas, I will do this gradually and over a course of session.
I use either a cold pressed sweet almond oil or beeswax based massage wax both containing essential oils, depending on your skin's sensitivity and any allergies you might have.
PLEASE NOTE: Relaxation massage is provided as a holistic experience and NOT as a sexual service. Any sexually suggestive comments or advances will result in the session being terminated immediately. If you have a cold, flu or are generally unwell, massage is NOT advised and your session will need to be postponed until you are 100% better. If you turn up to your session under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you will be asked to leave the studio. RIGHT OF ADMISSION RESERVED.
If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to let me know before, during or after our session.
CHI MASSAGE STUDIO
TANYA PARK - PRACTITIONER
I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa and now reside in Auckland. I trained at the Naturopathic College of New Zealand in swedish massage and obtained my reiki degrees in South Africa and here in New Zealand.
My studio is at my home in Mt Wellington and the room I use has a beautiful and peaceful energy and is the perfect place to unwind. The effects of sound in healing plays a vital role in my practice and I put careful thought into the music I incorporate into my sessions, giving you the client a total holistic experience.
' I would just like to say that the massage I had with Tanya on the weekend was amazing, I have had quite a few massages over the years, but I really enjoy this one. I had a knee replacement in February which has been quite hard on this (maturing body), and I have been in quite a bit of pain. Tanya worked on my knee, making sure it wasn't to uncomfortable for me. Saturday night I had to go out and was dancing quite a lot (no pain) woke up Sunday morning expecting to be sore, but had very little pain! Monday morning went to the gym as usual, and felt much better on the bike. The environment to was a bonus, it was the personal touches which also made the massage a special experience. I would recommend her to my friends and work colleges.' Margaret
" It was brilliant!!!! I had for a few hours, this brilliant feeling of everything is perfect and I was in peace with the world and myself. The sun was shining, the birds where singing and so on.
FANTASTIC!
We'll see how the next session goes " Herlind
