About our treatments .......
NAMRATA means "to be humble and kind" ..... Our logo "ram's horns," symbolizes that even the strong have to also be humble. The symbol is a bird's eye view of two rams butting heads, and the rams' horns symbolizes strength and humility through the characteristics of a ram..
Our Ethos is that we need to stop sometimes in order to be softer and kinder to ourselves ..... our treatments are designed to take time out from a harder and faster life which sometimes detaches us from who we really are or blocks the signals to what we really need. If we can't be kind to ourselves how can we be good for others around us ....... in returning to calm we can find our inner light far more easily and that can only lead to one thing ......... HAPPINESS and true JOY.
AYURVEDA
These traditional Eastern treatments are from the oldest healing system in the world with a focus on balancing your body's Dosha ( this is your own unique balance of the 5 elements of nature) .... you will be assessed to see where you are and where you should be according to these ancient principles. The diagnosis is in depth and the result is your own unique constitution. Once we establish your constitution we can advise on everything from what massage, detox, diet, yoga and breathing techniques return you to a natural balance. When we are in balance we are far less likely to encounter sickness or disease.
Abhyanga massage is a flowing and rhythmic massage performed with warm herbal oils. The oils soothe the body and the mind, they penetrate deep to harmonise any imbalances in the system. On consultation other things can be discussed such as diet and Yoga and breathing but only if you wish to know or do more. They are all part of the Ancient healing in India. Otherwise it is a unique and beautiful experience and will be sure to have you feeling both calm and energised by the end. The oils used are applied warm and blended with Indian herbs unique to your constitution.
The massage is the first thing doctors of this science will give you before any other medicinal treatments. In fact the massage is given for 7 days in a row to remove toxins and get the flow of energy (prana) moving effectively through the system. So it is a wonderful way of not just making you feel amazingly relaxed but also a powerful detox for your system.

Reflexology
Can be used for relaxation and pampering, allowing you to ease away the strains and stresses of modern daily life and reclaim some precious 'me time'. However, more than a simple " hand or foot rub", it is a safe complementary therapy, which aims to promote better physical and mental balance and wellbeing by encouraging the body to heal itself and by calming and soothing the mind. A tailored treatment plan, bespoke for each individual, targets specific reflexes on the hands or feet; it can help relieve energetic blockages in the body and allow the corresponding muscles, tissues and organs to optimise their function with cumulative effects.

Remedial massage
Remedial massage will focus on treating an injury big or small, muscular aches and pains and postural imbalances. When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knots in the fascia can create tension or immobilise the area, remedial massage provides a healing treatment that can be soft or intense; going deep or shallow. Remedial massage treats the whole body and strips back the discomfort as far as possible to its original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.
If you’re suffering from a soft tissue injury or have a recurring problem, remedial massage could help. Remedial massage is a deep tissue massage which creates the correct conditions to allow the body to heal itself. Strains and sprains (muscle and ligament injury) are the most common injuries which a Remedial Therapist will see. It’s not just for injuries though – the sore feeling the day (or two days) after you’ve over exerted yourself can be helped, or prevented, by remedial massage.
BENEFITS OF REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Aids recovery from injury
Helps re-align musculo-skeletal structure
Can help reduce scar tissue build up
Can help break down adhesions in the muscle tissue
Helps to release myofascial restrictions
Helps to release muscle spasms and relieve muscle pain.
Re-aligns joints and relieves joint pain

Thai Massage
This massage is oil free .... changing into a kimono and lying on a futon mat where acupressure and gentle passive stretching and pressure relieve tension and improve posture and wellbeing....allowing energy channels to unblock and open up . The type of Thai massage we do is nerve touch therapy. Nerve touch therapy works more on relieving tension and stuck energy lines in the body. So lots of pressure points and deep tissue work with some passive stretching in key areas where needed. It is very relaxing to have done and leaves you feeling uplifted and recharged.

Pre - Natal Massage
This massage is a wonderful time out for mother and baby alike. It was the best thing I ever had during my own pregnancy and thats why I have trained with many people in different approaches to a pre-natal massage over the years. Understanding where the key weight bearing areas of the body are and the areas which inevitably become tight as the body starts to shift as hormones soften to give room for our precious child's growth ....we use this time for having someone support us and take away some of that strain....leaving us feeling rested, rejuvenated, more comfortable and less worried or stressed. This massage addresses the whole body and is carried out in a side lying position with the support of many pillows and bolsters.....we then turn half way through the treatment and repeat everything to the other side. We do not believe in going onto the mothers abdomen as this is a precious space and a bond between mother and child. We do focus on the breath, the ribs, the neck and shoulders and the hips and legs..... so every where else ..... a real treat from start to end.
