Our network of consultants will meet once a fortnight to discuss ailments, diseases, disorders and client care to maintain excellence and high-quality care for clients. Clients who come through the centre will be assessed and recommended for primary consultation, therapies and remedies. The fees will be set out from the start.

Services at the Karma Centre

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an Indian Natural Health Care System now practiced in over 30 countries and promoted by the Indian Government. It commences with consultations followed by a series of procedures covering detox, diet, supplements, and therapies with an expert (BAMS qualified) who will advise and oversee your progress. Ayurveda is curative and preventative.

Swedish massage

Swedish massage uses softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body, and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This adjustment of pressure makes it an ideal massage for relaxation. It particularly reduces emotional and physical stress.

Sports Massage

Sports massage uses a variety of pressure, to speed up a sportsman’s recovery time and also help prevent injury. Many athletes believe that regular massage can be tailored for an individual athlete’s muscular and skeletal system so that those muscles and other supporting ones can be built up to a comfortable standard for use in that sport. Sports massage is often supplemented by other massage therapy styles, including Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger point (myotherapy), shiatsu, acupressure, compression, cross-fibre and lymphatic massage.

Yoga

Yoga has phenomenal capacity to empower ourselves, engage our bodies and remember our connection to the world. Yoga offers us to clarify the mind through Prana, detoxify the body through movement and thus channel our energy to fulfil our spiritual aspirations. Give yourself a Gift and begin your journey to a better life with Inner Peace, Love, Good Health, Fitness and Happiness.

Family Constellations

Family Constellations is based on the teachings of Bert Hellinger, who stated that many of the issues we are dealing with in our lives stem from the entanglements and traumas that run through families and are repeated from generation to generation. The session involves identifying what needs to be healed in order to flourish, and move forward to a more positive future. Visualisation or props are used to represent relatives, to offer clarity and clearly identify the issue and heal it through the recognition of what needs to be healed within the family system.

Holistic Tai Chi

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practised as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion, it is especially suitable if you’re an older adult who otherwise may not exercise but people with joint problems, back pain, fractures, severe osteoporosis or a hernia should consult their health care provider before trying tai chi.

Mindfulness

The course teaches people to pay attention to the present moment, rather than worrying about the past or the future, and to let go of the negative thoughts that can exacerbate the situation. This powerful approach can help to interrupt the habit of getting lost in thoughts, mostly about the past or future, which can lead to additional stress to what may already be happening. Through mindfulness we learn to become more aware of what’s happening in our experience through bringing our attention to our thoughts, feelings and body sensations as they happen, with an attitude of being non-judgemental and kindness.

Ayurveda Course

Level 1 and Level 2 Ayurveda courses available on request.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is massage using Essential Oils naturally extracted from plants to balance, harmonise and promote the health of the body, mind and spirit. The massage with the aromatic essences seeks to unify physiological, psychological and spiritual processes to enhance an individual’s innate healing process.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-intrusive therapy, based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body. It involves applying pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion.

Meditation

Meditation is a means of encouraging and developing concentration, clarity, emotional positivity, and a calmness that reveals the true nature of things. Regular Meditation can have a transformative effect and can lead to a new understanding of life.

Crystal Healing
