ABOUT YOMA
From the moment we begin a session, we want you to feel safe, secure and relaxed…that is our goal each and every time.
YOMA Therapies and Training (formerly Body Kind) is located on the 1st & 2nd floors. When tending to our clients we are not always available to unlock the door for you, so we kindly ask that if you are coming without an appointment, please call first (if possible) so that we can be sure to welcome you in!
We have lots to offer you in this beautiful sacred hideaway such as: Yoga ~ Massage ~ Facials ~ Reiki ~ Meditation ~ Crystal Therapy ~ Reflexology ~ Workshops ~ Diploma courses (see below for full list). We also have a lovely selection of crystals and related items along with skin care products.
No matter what brings you to YOMA, our aim is to create an environment that allows you to feel safe, welcomed, comfortable and relaxed ~ after all, it is all about ‘The art of relaxation’.
I have been very fortunate, in my opinion, to be trained by one of the best! I’m often complimented on my client care and this I’ve attributed to Moya’s guidance, direction and most importantly example. Fully knowledgeable in all areas of Esthetics, she has not only helped me to be all I can be but inspired me to be my own boss. Grateful our paths crossed!
I started coming to Moya for treatments in September 2014 and I am very glad I did. Every treatment has been of a very high standard and I always feel a sense of calm during and after each one. I feel like my own personal well-being has improved and it has also encouraged me to look after myself more. As a person Moya is lovely and she will always make me feel relaxed and I feel she really takes pride in what she does and will take care to ensure that I have had the best of what the treatment has to offer. Several of my friends have also been to her and have been impressed with the service. Bottom line is I would highly recommend Moya to anyone wishing to have treatments.
Moya has so many special qualities and her professionalism is second to none. She has a very friendly and caring manner in her approach to beauty and holistic treatments. Her dedication and commitment both as a beauty therapist and teacher is certainly 100%. The experience is always a pleasure as is her company.”
Moya’s treatments always make me feel relaxed, calm, and able to face whatever the world wants to throw at me.
They are wonderful and enjoyable and Moya is fabulous!
‘Moya truly believes that ‘you can’t learn everything from a book. How true. Moya has a passion for sharing her knowledge and experience and is a natural communicator. I learnt such a lot and the course really exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be
attending another.
Treatments
From the moment we begin a session, we want you to feel safe, secure and relaxed…that is our goal each and every time.
Swedish Body Massage
- This soothing style of massage is designed to stretch and lengthen muscles and improve circulation. Studies have shown that regular massage supports the function of your immune system, keeping you healthy. I have several regular clients tell me that they seldom get sick….maybe it’s because they are regular clients!?
Facial and Back Massage
- Sometimes you want a massage to reduce stress and tension in your neck and shoulders, yet the skin on your face calls for some attention too! During this hour session you can indulge in both… Here we begin with a back massage, followed with a deep cleanse and lots more massage for the face, neck and shoulders, finishing with the right amount of hydration for your skin. The perfect combination of relaxation and rejuvenation!
Relaxing Facial
- Using a variety of professional products, your skin will be cleansed, exfoliated, soothed, massaged and re-hydrated. During a masque application, you will be offered a hand and arm massage to continue your deep relaxation… My aim is to have you leaving relaxed, refreshed and glowing!
Reflexology
- This treatment, like other complimentary and holistic
therapies works on the whole person. The Chinese have been using the application of pressure to induce healing for over 5ooo years. Reflexology uses the feet (and/or hands) asmap of the whole body and when pressure is applied to certain areas, the whole body can be brought back into a state of balance. Reflexology has been found to help with a wide variety of medical and non-medical conditions including: skin conditions, joint & skeletal conditions (such as arthritis, back, hip and knee pain), high blood pressure, nervous disorders & diseases (such as Parkinson’s, M.S., stroke, epilepsy, stress tensions and insomnia to name a few), diabetes, infertility, IBS, Hay fever ~ the list is lengthy!
Indian Head Massage
- Experience the many benefits this form of stress management offers. We focus on the scalp, face, neck, upper arms and shoulders. The combination of physical massage and energy work via the chakras, creates a beautiful deep state of relaxation, or it can be geared to leave you feeling uplifted and more energised. This treatment is often done seated and fully clothed.
Reiki
- This technique using “Life Force Energy” promotes stress reduction, relaxation and healing within the body. Everyone can benefit from a Reiki healing session. All that is asked is that you have a desire to enhance your quality of life.
Crystal Therapy
- You don’t need to believe that crystals will work, just as you don’t need to believe that a light will come on when you flick a switch. Crystals placed over or near your main chakras will help you to achieve a healthy body, mind and spirit. Chakras and crystals are intrinsically linked through their connections with energy. When the energies within you are out of balance, the effects of crystal energy can be very noticeable and when your energies are more balanced, the effects are much more subtle.
Reiki
Understanding Reiki
Reiki, pronounced ‘ray-key’, is a Japanese word which means ‘universal life force energy’. Rei means ‘universal’ and refers to the spiritual dimension and the soul. Ki means the vital life force energy which flows through all that is alive.
Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful system of healing. When you come for a Reiki session, I will place my hands on or near your body to channel the Reiki energy. You will be lying or sitting comfortably and remain fully clothed. Often I will use crystals, candles, incense and music to enhance your experience.
Reiki sessions are suitable for everyone wanting to heal emotionally and physically. Reiki can help to relax and reduce stresses in the body and mind, strengthen the immune system, relieve pain, release blocks and suppressed feelings. It promotes creativity and natural self-healing and can strengthen intuition.
