Reflexology

Reflexology is thought to have originated in China and it's a therapy based on the theory that different points of the feet correspond to different areas of the body. No oils or liquids are used during the treatment and the therapist will massage points on your feet, hands and head using thumb, finger and hand techniques. By massaging them, the therapist can stimulate energy to flow and help the body to heal itself physically and emotionally.

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine is a scientific discipline that works, principally, on the prevention of diseases, as well as to regenerate tissues damaged by old age or trauma and to help prepare organs for transplants. Its main objective is to repair damaged tissues, using mechanisms similar to those the body itself naturally uses to renew cells.

Reiki

A Japanese technique whereby hands are laid on a certain part of the body to help energy to flow better. 

Restorative Yoga

Relaxing and passive style yoga which allows students to release the body into a gentle stretch.
