Back pain? Neck pain?

EXPERIENCE PAIN RELIEF TODAY

You can feel well today.

You are well when blood flows freely and provides both oxygen and nutrients where they are needed.

Dis-ease and pain occurs when there are blockages in the free flow of blood and lymph. Therefore, the path to wellness relies on improving the circulation of blood, the quality of blood, such as its nutrients or viscosity, and smooth working of muscles, tendons and connective tissue.

I will help you to achieve all that.

I offer a full range of effective treatments to ease both acute and chronic pain and release stress so that you can enjoy life more. Some conditions that can be helped with, are:

Musculoskeltal + pain: migraines, back pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains and injuiries,
Internal: chronic fatigue, colitis, constipation, diarrhoea, indigestion, ulcers, hypertension, hypoglycaemia, diabetes,
Ears, Nose, Throat: deafness, dizziness, hayfever, sinus infection, sore throat,
Neurological: bell’s palsy, MS, stroke, trigeminal neuralgia,
Emotional: anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress,

and others.

I will help you get unstuck so that Body and Mind can heal themselves. Both Body and Mind contribute to being pain free, physically and emotionally. Thanks to working on the physical aspects and emotional aspects, the treatments will help you to bring Body and Mind back to balance – to a smooth cooperation they are meant to have. As a result, you will become an Integrated Self.

This integration is essential to experience life in flow, the Zesty Life, as I call it. Only then you are internally congruent, you can set the right habits and make the right choices in order to create the life you want. Similarly, the integration of complementary therapeutic approaches helps to achieve the best results.

The natural methods of Chinese medicine (a system of medical wisdom that is at least 3500 years old) combined with western medical knowledge allow for creating a synergistic effect on wellbeing. This is what I rely on. The two paradigms support each other and guide my treatments to become effective.

My mission is to provide you with the most effective complementary care possible in High Peak.

THERAPIES

A massage is a basic healing therapy to ease physical and emotional tension. It involves various muscle and tissue manipulations such as strokes and pressure techniques to improve blood flow, relax muscles, stretch ligaments, manipulate joints or remove waste from tissues.

One of the discriminating features of a healing massage is the quality of touch that communicates loving attention, understanding and anticipation of the unknown. Essentially, it is the awakening touch that comes with a strong intent, as it happens in Tui na, Cupping or Gua Sha massage. When combined with the knowledge about fascia and connective tissue as well as that of nervous and vascular systems (as affected by Acupuncture), it stands up to the promise of liberation from pain, stagnation and stress.

Singing Bowl Massage helps one relax and calm the nervous system.

The therapies offered here are:

I

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is an ancient treatment that involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. It is used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions.

Acupuncture works powerfully by adjusting the nervous system, improving blood flow, stimulating stem cell release to injury sites, and helping various body systems to become active.

Even if some slight discomfort is initially experienced, this eases into a deep relaxation or even a rejuvanating nap.

I

Facial rejuvenation

Facial rejuvenation aims to improve the radiance of the skin. This involves not only facial acupuncture, face massage and a healing mas, but also bodily acupuncture to enhance the functioning of other internal organs.

Facial acupuncture relies on inserting super fine needles shallowly into the wrinkles. This method can reduce wrinkles, eliminate fine lines, lift sagging skin and improve skin colour and texture.

There may be a slight initial discomfort followed by a deep relaxation, as the stimulation of the peripheral nerves will improve blood flow to the skin and head.

I

TUINA / Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is relaxing yet stimulating the natural healing mechanisms. It is fantastic at breaking up blockages within the body. It softens tense muscles, mobilises joints and tendons and gets the blood and lymph moving. It ia a great companion to acupuncture.

Tuina medical massage involves the rubbing and kneading of soft tissues and muscles, together with acupressure and finger work, as well as assisted manipulations (similar to the ones in osteopathy) to remove blockages along the sheaths of connective tissues. It works on the nervous system and the wellbeing of the internal organs as well.

I

Singing bowl massage

Sound therapy has been consciously practised for thousands of years. Suitable tone and the frequency oscillationas of the singing bowls make the sound reach into every cell of the body giving a feeling of harmony, relaxation and joy. This is a treatment effective for people with an active lifestyle, resigned, depressed, burned or stressed-out.

I

GUA SHA

Gua Sha, called also scraping, is a healing massage therapy that uses a smooth edged tool to repeatedly scrape an area of lubricated skin.

The goal is to intentionally create transitory therapeutic petechiae called ‘sha’. The sha represents leakage of the blood in the subcutaneous tissue (beneath the skin). Raising sha opens pores, improves blood flow and removes blood stagnation.

A single gua sha treatment can lead to an immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever, cough or nausea. It works well for acute and chronic organ disorders.

I

Lifestyle / NUTRITION ADVICE

Diet or lifestyle often contribute to the symptoms of ill-being, so it is important to address them. The changes to be suggested are meant to make the treatment more effective. Even where a treatment works very well, if the person returns to the same behaviour that caused their complaint in the first place, the problems will return.

Proper nutrition and herbs are one of the most effective methods of improving internal organ function. Food choices can be optimised to improve the functioning of specific organs both by foods to eat and those to restrain from.

I

CUPPING

Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine in which special cups are put on skin for 5-15 minutes to create suction. The goal of this is to improve circulation, ease pain and inflammation, and achieve relaxation. It may work as a deep-tissue massage often beneficial in case of injuries, slowly healing wounds, muscle aches and pain.

I

Coaching and Advice

Coaching helps you to get insight into your current health and life situation and work actively on your personal skills. You will identify obstacles and learn new ways of thinking and dealing with situations and/or feelings. You will push back your limits and open up new possibilities.

MY GOAL IS TO…

help you heal and be well
support the process of change and
encourage you to live a happy life

HEALTH

Health originates from your ability to follow the rhythm: enjoying and appreciating what comes and recovering from hardships when they happen.

It comes naturally when communication channels are open and informative between the Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual aspects of Selves.

It is never a fixed state but always changing – a dance in life.

PAIN

Pain, either physical or emotional, is real. It is a sign of stagnation. Stagnation is created by blocked flow of nutrients on some level in your body. It may affect muscles, tendons, lymph, blood and organs, or it may cause a vicious circle of thoughts or emotions.

Chinese medicine recognises how blood and lymphs (and energy) are trapped and discriminates between the organs to find out which ones are contributing. Once the cause of disturbance is understood, a treatment to restore wellness can be applied effectively.

WelLNESS

Wellness is real. It is a sign of living the Zesty Life. Blood, lymph and energy are moving in the body in unobstructed ways, providing nutrients and nourishment, as well as creative ideas, harmony and the sense of peace.

My goal is to help from inside out. Your reservoir of wellness can be restored thanks to the therapies offered here. It is the quality of sound, needle, touch and listening, together with the strong intent, that will make the difference for you.

I am here to help you get well physically, mentally and emotionally.

What THE cLIENTS say

and why they get better

“I have had two sessions with Ela so far, which involved a detailed chat about my health and my medical issues, a relaxing and soothing massage followed by acupuncture. Ela is very welcoming and professional, and was incredibly informative, she talked me through the process and why it works the way it does. She also gave me some really useful information on some herbal remedies for me to try out at home. I certainly feel that I benefited from the sessions, and have already recommended her to friends of mine.”

Helen

“I was recommended to see Ela by a friend for a chest pain I was experiencing. After the Tuina massage I instantly felt more open and positive almost like there was also an emotional release. My chest pain has gone and the whole experience was lovely. Ela was kind yet professional and intuitively knew what to do with my body after me explaining my symptoms. ”

Luckily, I’ve found Ela and she was able to ease my pain. After the massage and heat lamp therapy, my pain was gone for good and never returned. I immediately felt lighter and happier. I see Ela regularly to keep myself well and to release the tension built up by stress.”

Alex

“Mummy Ela is always helping me with all aches and pains in my body. I especially like the pinching on my back and the rubbing of my tummy. It is sometimes ticklish. Even my headaches are gone when mummy rubs my head and neck. I also like the singing bowl put on my body as it gives beautiful sounds. She also makes (herbal) teas to help me feel better.”
