Beauty therapy may be a profession more commonly associated with the female of the species, but the latest addition to the team at Jesmond Beauty Clinic is helping to redress the balance and prove that, sometimes, you just can’t beat a man’s touch.

You ask, we provide.

Following the recent success of our Pamper Party (November blog) many of you suggested that we offer a pamper package all year-round. So we’ve done just that. Chris and Lorraine are 2 of the best practitioners in the North East offering a variety of treatments.

Reiki pronounced ‘ray-key’ is a Japanese energy balancing method. It’s a hands on treatment and great for reducing stress and boosting energy levels. Say no more!! I booked myself in straight away. If your like me stress can come at the most inconvenient of times and effects us all differently. Lots of us have stressful lives and jobs. I don’t handle stress very well and every so often I like to have some ‘me’ time to relax so Reiki is the perfect solution.

It doesn’t matter about your age or state of health and the beneficial changes can take place over a fairly short space of time. It can also help with helping you feel more positive, clear thinking and enjoy a better quality of life.

It’s best to wear loose comfortable clothing. Nothing too thick as it can prevent the treatment from working as effectively. You will remain fully clothed and will lay on a treatment couch. Diane will lay her hands in a series of positions across the head, torso and legs. Sometimes she will hover her hands over your body rather than touching. The idea of the treatments is if you imagine Diane, our Reiki practitioner, as a channel She draws the energy called ‘chi’ through her and into the recipient helping to produce a state of balance.

During my session I saw purple and pink shades and faint images. I felt 100% relaxed and the warm heat from Diane’s hands, the smell of incense and a mixture of the soft relaxing music let me just clear my head of everything and forget those worries because the next hour was about me. Throughout the whole treatment I drifted in and out of sleep but remained totally calm. I particularly wanted help with dealing with stress as I tend to carry anxiety’s around with me forever. Ive had 3 Reiki sessions so far and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes some time out to just do nothing. It’s great for everyone and as ive said before can be used as a treatments for a variety of reasons. In my opinion everyone should book a quick  30 minute session on their lunch break to help them focus on the week ahead and let go of those work/family worries.

Reiki can have different effects on different people. Not everyone will see images or lights but I can assure everyone that deep relaxation a feeling of inner calm and serenity will be felt.

A session last 1 hour and costs £40, to book please visit www.jbcvitality.co.uk or call 0191 281 4277.

Until next time,
