Aromatherapy – designed to treat the whole person and assist the body’s natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself.  We have a variety of Aromatherapy treatments available at Essence and sell Aromatherapy oils and products.

 Aromatherapy Massage – Aromatherapy is one of the most popular of all complementary therapies, offering effective treatments to both acute and chronic illnesses. It is designed to treat the whole person and not just the symptoms, therefore assisting the body’s natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself.  Massage can reduce stress and anxiety by relaxing both the mind and the body, therefore create a feeling of well being and enhanced self-esteem. Through taking into account the medical history, emotional condition, general health and lifestyle essential oils will be chosen and massaged into the body. Deeply relaxing and life affirming.  Claudia Schaefer

 Dynamic Massage – This massage helps to stimulate and activate the body.  Local deep strokes can break down tired areas (e.g. shoulders) so the whole body can feel free and relaxed again. Claudia Schaefer

 Healing Massage – Sometimes life can really get to us. In this healing massage we will de-stress the muscles of the body while at the same time listen to the trauma, anger, stress and fears that the body holds within.  The length of the treatment allows time for this listening and acknowledgement and healing can occur. Claudia Schaefer

 Indian Head Massage – Indian Head Massage (or Champissage) has been used for many thousands of years in India, where the skills are passed down from generation to generation.  The therapy is based on the Ayurvedic healing system. It is a holistic therapy, and strives to restore harmony within the body. The original purpose of the massage was to promote healthy, shiny hair, but there are many physical and psychological benefits to Indian Head Massage. It is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. Clients report that the experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving them feeling energised and revitalised and better able to concentrate.  Louise Woodgate

 Colour Reiki – See Colour Section

 Eternal Light ® Healing -Eternal Light ® is a unique and powerful energy healing system, akin to Reiki, that offers up to 15 different high frequency Divine healing rays to the client, promoting joyful and rapid transformation on all levels.  Eternal Light ® has been developed by Shimara Kumara, spiritual healer/ clairvoyant, teacher, author and renowned channel for the Ascended Masters and other Light Beings. Eternal Light ®  has been given to mankind, through Shimara, under guidance from Ascended Master Sanat Kumara to bring through new high frequency healing energies that are needed at this transformational time in Mankind’s’ history. Janice Bell

 Holistic Healing - Holistic healing (also known as hands-on-healing) has a history that spans thousands of years across all continents of the world.  During the session the healer becomes a channel allowing healing energies from a universal source to flow through them, usually via their hands either on or around the body. It's the work of the healer to help their client to open up to their own self-healing process allowing them to bring back control over their life so that they come to a point of well-being.  Jay Carpenter

 Reiki – An ancient healing art that has been shown to have many benefits.   The practitioner places their hands on or around the fully clothed client and the healing energy is drawn through them to wherever it is most needed.  Many clients report a greater ability to relax and better sleep patterns with regular Reiki sessions.  Others report relief from pain and feeling uplifted.   Sarah Hurst,  Lizzie Weedon,  Louise Woodgate , Teacher:  Anna Jonathan

 Colour – At Essence you will find our shop is based on colour and the therapeutic effects of colour.  Each colour brings different qualities, some are energising and some calming.  We also offer several therapies based on colour:

 Aura-Soma Angel Consultation – Discover the sacred names and qualities of the angels that are guiding you through this lifetime.  Learn how to connect with them to bring transformational qualities into your life.  Your Birth angels are determined by your date and time of birth.  During the consultation you will choose 4 Aura-Soma bottles which are reflecting energies present in your life and will be shown how the angelic energies of your Birth Angels can support you.  Sarah Hurst

 Aura-Soma Colour System  - Ideal if you are looking for a bit of guidance in your life or if you just want to find out more about why you are drawn to certain colours ‘you are the colours you choose’.    There are 107 dual coloured bottles  and your 4 bottle choice  will reveal your gifts and talents, qualities to develop to help overcome your challenges and the most supportive colours for you to have around and apply.  Combining the qualities of colour, herbalism, crystals and aromatherapy in this amazing system.      Sarah Hurst

 Colour Analysis – Which colours do you look best in?  Using tricho-analysis, ocular analysis and draping techniques you will have the opportunity to discover the colours that best compliment your natural features. Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring.  Dressing in colours that are right for you leads to greater confidence and lots of compliments.     Sarah Hurst

 Colour Healing - Colour is the tiny visible portion of the vast spectrum of electromagnetic energy that is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe.    An individual’s life and psychology is symbolically related to colours and the colours occur in the aura. You may be seeing 'red' or feeling 'blue' quite literally.    A healing conducted in the energy fields feed down through the vortices called chakras, into the nervous system of the body that conveys messages to the endocrine system, which largely controls the bodily and mental functions. In treatment sessions, the required colour is established and then applied, commonly in conjunction with its complementary colour via silks, torches, lamps or psychically through the hands.  Jay Carpenter

 Colour Reiki -  Reiki is a natural healing art that encourages   a state of well being.The gentle healing energy is channelled through the Reiki practitioner’s hands to promote health of body, mind and spirit. The nature of Reiki is to help restore balance and harmony.  There is no belief system attached to Reiki which works purely to rebalance energy in living beings.  Combining the treatment with colour helps to intensify and deepen this process as the colour chosen helps to balance the chakras and cleanse the energy field. During the therapy the client remains fully clothed.         Sarah Hurst and Louise Woodgate

 Readings – A reading can be helpful at times when you feel you would like a little guidance or support.  Or for inspiration and enjoyment

  Astrology – Claudia will be available at ESSENCE every Friday to read your birth chart and yearly forecast. All sessions will be recorded on CD and are approx 75 minutes long.  Her approach to astrology is an open and honest interpretation of what makes us who we are. This is shown without any judgment, to enable a journey to the core of our being. The person you find is the newborn and unspoilt version of who you have become. Having re-discovered your SELF you can re-embark on your journey with renewed understanding of where you want to go. Claudia Schaefer

  Other – We also offer the therapies below:

 Crystal Therapy - Crystal/Gem therapy is the gentle art of placing crystals and/or gemstones around and upon the clothed body to promote deep inner healing.    It is a complementary therapy that works on all levels of the patient - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.   Crystals contain and emit energies that support us in aligning our thoughts, emotions and consciousness with the loving and healing energies of the universe. The crystal and therapist merely support the self-healing process.                      Jay Carpenter

  EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) – based on Chinese Medicine. It is often described as “acupuncture without the needles!” It works on psychological as well as physical problems and can be used in many situations including cravings, fears, phobias, grief, guilt insomnia, anxiety & panic attacks, self image, chronic pain conditions, improving physical performance, post traumatic stress disorders, sexual abuse and giving up smoking.  Joanne Baker, Michael and Tricia Barber

 Flower Essences - Recent research has shown that water has a 'memory' and so in flower essence therapy, an imprint of the flowers properties is held within the water that contained it. The water is then filtered and mixed with a percentage of alcohol, (e.g organic brandy).    Flower essences are unique in the way that they treat the person, addressing various emotional states, allowing the body to react creatively when worn by the stresses of life.  Jay Carpenter

Hopi Ear Candling  -  Hopi candling is a very safe therapy and its popularity is growing as more people become aware of its positive benefits. It can help with a variety of conditions that affect the ear including tinnitus, glue ear, sinusitis and general hearing loss.  The process of Hopi candling involves a specially designed hollow candle being inserted just inside the ear canal. The candle is then lit and the suction that is formed draws the impurities from within the ear. This process is known as the chimney effect. The rising air gives the ear drum a gentle massage and also helps to regulate ear pressure.               Louise Woodgate

 Matrix Reprinting – A powerful development of EFT created by Karl Dawson. It helps us to rapidly locate and release deeply held negative beliefs and substitute positive thoughts and energy. Joanne Baker

  Vibrational Medicine (flower, crystal, gem and mineral essences) - a holistic therapy (related to homeopathy), based on the principle that everything in the universe is made up of energy, and that everything has its own unique energetic signature or vibration”.  During a consultation I will prescribe therapeutic essences that hold a positive natural energy imprint/vibration from flowers or naturally occurring minerals and crystals.  These promote a gentle but effective process of rebalancing and repatterning through the release of old “stuck” energies from the body, mind and emotions.  Vibrational remedies are very safe and can be used by anyone, short or long term, and alongside any other medicine or therapy. They help us release the negative states of mind, difficult feelings and limiting subconscious beliefs that block our ability to experience Peace, Love and Joy and which contribute towards physical problems and chronic illness.  Janice Bell

 Shamanic Journeys - Is there a question that you need to have an answer for?  Are you stuck in a pattern?  Do you want more inner strength, balance and support? Do you feel intruded and gloomy at times? Would you like to find your deep power within? This is a journey into your all knowing subconscious mind to help you find answers, peace, balance and a new spring in your step.  Claudia Schaefer 

 Food Sensitivity Testing -   If you suffer from any of the symptoms shown below then you should definitely consider whether food sensitivity is causing or aggravating your symptoms.

 Irritable bowel, Constipation, Wind, bloating, Crohn's disease, Joint pain, Rheumatoid arthritis Water retention, Headache, migraine, Poor concentration, Fatigue, Anxiety, depression, Hyperactivity, Mouth ulcers, Aching muscles, Vomiting, Nausea, PMT, Skin problems, Diarrhoea, Asthma, Rhinitis, sinusitis

 The sensitivity testing we carry out is not scientific testing; it is based on the energy patterns of food and their compatibility with your individual energy system. We test to find the most beneficial food, supplements etc,  for you, whilst discovering those that are least compatible with your energy system. We aim to give you tools to take responsibility for your own health. This is a process of coming to know your body’s physical and emotional needs, so that eventually you will be more aware of how things affect you. We do the food sensitivity testing from a distance using a small hair sample to enable us to tune into your energy system. Because your hair contains some of the fastest growing cells in your body, it locks in information about your exposure to certain nutrients as it grows. In this way, your hair forms a permanent record of your exposure to both beneficial and toxic elements.      Sarah Hurst and Louise Woodgate
