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 ~ Skin Blemish Removal ~ Hypnotherapy ~ Psychotherapy~Workshops ~ Diploma courses. We also have a lovely selection of crystals and related items along with skin care products. GIFT VOUCHERS redeemble for all we offer!
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.

Reiki/Crystal Healing
|
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. 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. |

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.

Second Degree ~ £125
Master/Teacher ~ Price Upon Request.
All teachings include manuals, follow-up date and continued support and guidance.

Since 2004 I have been helping and supporting clients physically, mentally and emotionally either through my work as a therapist or as a teacher providing training for students wishing to change career, run their own business or simply explore alternative forms of therapies for their own interests. The teaching classes are kept small, creating a warm and friendly environment. Students receive individual attention and are encouraged to explore and work with their own intuition to develop trust, knowledge, and understanding of themselves and others.
