Sarah Friend

I'm a fully qualified complementary therapist with over 22 years experience. I practise Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Sports Therapy, Hot stone massage, Thai foot massage, Bellabaci cupping massage and On Site/Seated acupressure Massage from my home clinic in Clevedon and. I travel to your work place for On Site/seated Massage (OSM)

The complementary therapies used have been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians, Chinese, Hebrews, Greeks have used them as long ago as 3000 yrs BC & Romans were committed users too. With the development of modern & conventional medicine the old therapies were pushed aside and largely forgotten in the western culture. With the advent of the 21st Century it seems that we are turning back to the roots and rediscovering the benefits of alterative medicines that generations ago knew as the norm. Whether you have a specific problem or just want to feel better, the following treatments will give you a boost & a sense of well being.

This treatment uses essential oils, which are extracted, from different parts of various plants and trees. Massage is the most common form of administering these oils, simply because it is the most effective. Good for stress, insomnia, muscular problems & hormone related problems.

On Site Massage is a treatment given through clothes on a specially designed chair, usually in the workplace. The massage targets the most common stress areas around the neck, back and shoulders. The benefits are very similar to having a full body massage and a treatment of just 15 or 20 minutes can make a real difference, leaving staff ready to resume work immediately and revitalised.

The benefits are many, including time efficient , staff retention (as they feel appreciated), increased productivity and reduced sickness.
 
In summary, a happy and healthy workforce equals increased productivity, equals a happy employer, equals happy customers, equals increased customers. All in all, a cycle of success.

As these treatments are given fully-clothed they will fit into a busy working day. They can be offered as a stand-alone service or form part of a stress-management programme.

Minimum booking 3 hours.
