|
|
|
| Willow regularly offer a range of complimentary therapies to help balance, harmonize and promote the health of body and mind. These therapies are beneficial for women who wish to control or stop their own drinking and also for women who are affected by someone else's drinking. The therapies available are Auricular Acupuncture, Reiki, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Massage and Beauty Therapy. Women receiving therapies at Willow have reported improvements in their physical and mental health such as improved sleep patterns and feelings of calmness and well being. These treatments are not intended to replace traditional medicine or healthcare, but instead allow women to take more responsibility for their own health.
If you would like further information on the therapies please telephone the Information Line on 01942 679300 at Drop In times |
