GOOD NEWS! OPEN AGAIN from 3rd December :-)

(24/11/2020) Following the announcement from the UK Government, about which businesses shall be allowed to open after the National Lockdown (on whatever Tier level), I am happy to say that I will be opening again, for business as usual, from Thursday 3rd December.

So please, feel free to book ahead and ensure you reserve your much needed treatment before the end of the year! If you are seeking a great quality, de-stressing massage, healing or holistic treatment then look no further and feel free to contact me!

Details of my COVID-19 Related Policies...

If you are healthy on the day of your appointment then please refer to my Pre-Treatment Checklist before attending.

I look forward to seeing you in December! :-)

TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO THE NATIONAL LOCKDOWN concerning control of the COVID-19 Virus

(5/11/2020) Lockdown days are back again unfortunately, hopefully not for quite as long this time. This means that during the National Lockdown, I am unable to work and provide hands on services and support.

Ironically, this is the one time of the year, during the winter months, where we all need more support to get us through the darker, more stressful times (especially more so, this year!). My advice is to focus on your well being as priority during the coming months, spending time on a nutritious diet (your fuel) and mindful, de-stressing exercises (why not try some breath work, yoga or stretching?).

• I cannot offer any treatments in person currently but I can offer Distant Reiki Healing. Reiki Healing is usually performed through light touch, and is a great way to heal, ground, de-stress the body and mind. Please see details below of how you can receive therapeutic energy in the comfort of your own home...
• SPECIAL LIMITED OFFER: I am offering a special deal on Gift Vouchers at the moment. If you buy a Gift Voucher for any amount, while I am closed, you will only pay 80% of the actual gift value, saving you 20%! Please see more details below...

I will be available to give hands on therapeutic treatments again from Thursday 3rd December.

If you have any questions or concerns then please do not hesitate to contact me on 07946 609429 (also on Whatsapp)

Stay safe, healthy and sane...

CHRISTMAS / NEW YEAR EXTRA OPENING DAYS

I usually use the Christmas/New Year period to have a rest myself, as I find many people are busy with family/friends. But this year is going to be different for a lot of us, as many will not be able to see family/friends and some people may feel isolated because of this...

To give extra support to my clients during this testing time, I will be available to book appointments on 4 extra days between Christmas and New Year. These dates will be 27th, 28th, 29th, 31st December.

So, in December, I will be OPEN as usual until 9pm on Tuesday, 22nd December...

CLOSED for Christmas Holidays from Wednesday 23rd to Saturday 26th December, inclusive...

OPEN as usual from 2pm on Sunday 27th to 6pm on Thursday 31st December...

CLOSED for New Year Holidays from 6pm on Thursday 31st December to Saturday 2nd January, 2021, inclusive...

OPEN as usual, for the NEW YEAR, from 2pm on Sunday 3rd January, 2021!

I hope you all find your own way to celebrate, in whatever way makes you feel joyful and comfortable.

Feel free to call/text/whatsapp me on 07946 609429 if you need to de-stress during the Christmas/New Year holiday period...

Andy :-)

DISTANT REIKI HEALING...

We have all been through an extra stressful year and with Winter approaching this can put additional stress on us through lack of light, dropping temperatures and more likelihood of being ill.

So indulge in some Reiki Healing to help elevate your spirit, raise your immune system and nurture your soul, during this particularly challenging winter. This will put you in a stronger mind set to ride the waves of change that are already happening...

Reiki Healing is the channeling of Universal energy through the therapist to the client, often felt as a warm, nurturing flow. This is then used by your body, in whichever way it seeks fit to help with physical, mental and emotional issues that need healing.

If you have not heard of, or received Reiki Healing before then please read more details about the benefits...

Distant Healing is performed remotely, which means that the therapist and client do not need to meet up for this to be performed but you will feel the connection and flow of healing energy. Please see more details of how this works...

​Individual Distant Reiki Healing session (30mins+) = £10

Package of 4 x Distant Reiki Healing sessions (4x 30mins+) = £30

You can pay via Internet Bank Transfer or Paypal.

If you are currently unemployed then I can offer this service free of charge!

Please contact Andy today for details...  

SPECIAL DEAL GIFT VOUCHERS... 20% OFF!

You cannot have therapeutic treatments in person at the moment but why not prepare for when you can, and you (or your friend/family) will need a thorough de-stressing after Lockdown 2 has ended!

If you buy an Equilibrium Gift Voucher for any amount then you will only pay 80% of the Gift amount. For example, if you buy a Gift Voucher for £40 then you will only pay £32!

This offer will remain in effect whilst we are in National Lockdown mode.

Have a look at my list of massage and holistic treatments and request the gift voucher to any amount. Then contact Andy, with the name of the person you want to gift and how you would like to pay (Paypal, Internet Bank Transfer, Cash). I will then sort the rest for you, your present buying stress relieved and the special person in your life can look forward to a blissful, relaxing, pampering gift!

Show your love with a healing surprise! :-)

PLEASE CONTACT ME to ask for my Bank Sort Code and Account Number if you wish to use this method of payment.

Escape Stress, Enter Tranquility & Keep Toasty...

We all need some time nowadays to escape from the growing challenges and stresses that come into our lives. Time for ourselves, letting our mind slow down, and a calm place to allow us to enter a state of tranquility.

Through talking to you, finding out where you are at, I will then make your massage treatment personal to your needs. To further your comfort and help deepen your relaxation, I now have a lovely new electric warmer blanket installed on the massage table....

Why not give yourself some time out, that you deserve? Contact Andy today...

I am fully VTCT qualified and provide a range of massages, from gentle aromatherapy to deep tissue massage, or a fusion of different styles to suit you. For reviews of my treatments by my clients, please see my Google page.

Keep the balance in your life with Equilibrium....

Massage is becoming an increasingly popular form of holistic and pro-active therapy, enjoyed by millions of people every day. It effectively reduces stress levels, stimulates the body's self-healing processes and helps replenish our vital energy, restoring equilibrium and balance. Enjoying a massage regularly (such as weekly or monthly) may help repair the body, relax and refresh the mind and enhance spirits, so that we are more able to face the challenges of life with a renewed sense of confidence and ease. If the pressures of life are not released through natural therapies, such as massage, then they can gradually have a more detrimental affect on the person as a whole.

Depending upon the choice and combination of massage techniques, the body can either be relaxed or stimulated, making it a useful and enjoyable form of therapy. Massage may alleviate stresses and strains on both the body and mind at once and the effects can often be felt quite instantly after a massage session.

People also use massage as an important complimentary therapy in helping to relieve various ailments and unwanted behaviours in their lives. Massage may help with many, including the following:

• Anxiety and Depression: helps relieve the various symptoms of anxiety, depression and alleviate the psychological strain caused.
• Insomnia and bad sleeping patterns: calms the racing mind down and makes the body feel naturally tired and ready for sleep.
• Lack of concentration and short term memory: helps to calm the mind and senses, enabling the mind to operate in a more focused way.
• Cutting down on Alcohol: as a compliment to cutting down alcohol consumption and counseling/support, massage may clear toxins from the body, aid restful sleep and alleviate depression.
• Blood Pressure: can help to lower high blood pressure.
• Painful areas that cannot be moved: may relieve strain on muscles and joints in the body and speed up their repair. Causes can be bad posture, awkward movement or minor accidents. Massage may also help prevent Repetitive Stress Injury.
