Lorraine Wright  I.I.H.H.T,
I.G.P.P, A.O.C.
|

I am a fully qualified Aromatherapist, Reflexologist, Indian
Head and Body Masseur. I am therefore entitled to have the
initials I I H H T after my name.
These letters stand for the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE of HEALTH
& HOLISTIC TREATMENTS, a fully recognised institute by
all the governing bodies such as the BMA (British Medical
Association), the Dept of Health, the world health organisation
just to a name a few.
I am also a member of the International Guild of Professional
Practitioners, an organisation that promotes and supports
the complementary medicine field. Notice that I said COMPLEMENTARY
and not ALTERNATIVE!! The guild promotes the working WITH
and ALONGSIDE conventional medicine and not as an ALTERNATIVE.
The A O C, the Aromatherapy Organisations Council, acts with
parliament to make sure that its practitioners are fully qualified
and regulated.
I am also a lecturer in Complementary Medicine for both Gateshead
and Newcastle Colleges.

The first session may last
up to two hours, including initial consultation
and massage. Consecutive sessions will probably
be for around one hour.
The aromatherapist will ask you questions about
your life in general, your work, your state of
health and medical history. They should have a
wide selection of essential oils which they may
use singly or blended with a carrier oil (often
almond or grapeseed) as essential oils can be
harmful if put directly on to the skin. The aromatherapist
will advise you on a suitable course; most people
have weekly or fortnightly consultations.

Reflexology |
| |
Reflexology is a form of
complementary medicine and involves a method of
treatment using massage to reflex area found in
the feet and the hands, Most commonly the feet
are used as the areas to be treated.
In the feet there are reflex areas corresponding
to all the parts of the body and these areas are
arranged in such a way as to form a map of the
body in the feet with the right foot corresponding
to the right hand side of the body and the left
foot corresponding to the left side of the body.
By having the whole body represented in the feet,
the method offers a means of treating the whole
body and of treating the body as a whole. This
latter point is an important factor of a natural
therapy and allows not only symptoms to be treated
but also the causes of symptoms.
Reflexology does not claim to be a cure all but
numerous different disorders have been successfully
treated by this method. These disorders include
such things as migraine, sinus problems, circulatory
problems, hormonal imbalances, breathing disorders,
digestive problems, back problems and tension
and stress. Most people who have experienced treatment
would agree that the method can be most beneficial
and is also a very relaxing therapy.

Indian
Head Massage |
| |
Indian Head Massage
works on particular areas of the body, especially
the neck and the shoulders, where stress affects
major muscle groups, and can bring immediate
relief. Tensions are eased and fibrous knots
and nodules melt away. The efficiency of the
circulatory and lymphatic systems improves, toxins
are dispersed from tense muscles and flexibility
and fluidity of movement is restored.
As the massage proceeds, the client relaxes;
breathing becomes deeper and more and more oxygen
is supplied to the body.
Close to the end of each treatment, a deeper
sense of relaxation is induced and the client’s
energy level is improved. Some find it helps
to open up and talk about the troubles and stresses
in their lives, finding it easier to talk to
a stranger than they do to friends and relatives
who may seem too close. |
Baby
Massage WorkShops |
| |
In many countries
worldwide, baby massage is a traditional practice
passed down through the generations. It’s
accepted as a natural, loving way for parents
to get to know their new baby.
The need to touch and be touched is a natural
instinct. As soon as he or she is born, you will
probably want to touch and soothe your baby.
And if you don’t feel a bond straightaway,
massage can be one way to build the process.
Knowing that your touch is comforting can help
you feel more relaxed and positive about caring
for your baby. And it’s a great way for
dads to feel more involved too. Many benefits
to the massage for both child and parent(s).
