The Healing Jay is a holistic and complementary therapy centre located in Scarborough, New Zealand. Owned and operated by Sarah Jane, a highly experienced massage therapist and yoga instructor, The Healing Jay offers a range of treatments aimed at addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of its clients.
One of the key offerings at The Healing Jay is its massage therapies. Sarah Jane ensures that clients are treated to the ultimate comfort throughout their treatment by using a heated blanket on the massage couch. This not only provides relaxation but also eases the muscles. Deep tissue massage is available for those seeking relief from chronic muscle fatigue.
This massage targets the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and facia, reducing stress hormone levels, boosting mood and relaxation, and releasing oxytocin and serotonin. Lymphatic massage, on the other hand, uses light pressured, long, gentle, and rhythmic strokes to increase lymph flow, reducing toxins in the body, fighting off infections, reducing water retention, and stimulating weight loss.
Aromatherapy massage is included in all massage treatments at The Healing Jay. Each oil used has different therapeutic properties that can stimulate, calm, and balance the body. Indian Head Massage is another deeply relaxing treatment offered at the centre. It focuses on the upper back, neck, shoulders, and head, easing tension, removing toxins, and improving the immune system.
Sarah Jane also recommends combining deep tissue work with lymphatic massage for optimum results.
In addition to massage therapies, The Healing Jay offers reflexology. Reflexology is a non-invasive holistic therapy that aims to restore and heal the body on all levels, including emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. Specific pressure is applied to reflex points on the feet or hands, stimulating the body's natural healing abilities.
Another popular offering at The Healing Jay is Kundalini Yoga classes. Sarah Jane has scheduled special Kundalini Yoga classes over the festive season to provide energy during the “mahhhh” bit between Christmas and New Year, as well as to help shake off the post-Christmas blues and start the New Year with enthusiasm. Kundalini Yoga is known for its focus on spiritual growth and the activation of energy centres, or chakras, in the body.
For those looking for the perfect Christmas gift, The Healing Jay provides gift vouchers that can be used towards treatment appointments or yoga classes. E-vouchers are also available upon request.
To book a treatment or discuss any queries, clients can contact The Healing Jay through phone or email. The centre emphasises the importance of booking in advance, as appointments are essential.
With its range of holistic and complementary therapies, The Healing Jay aims to address all aspects of a client's well-being, promoting healing and revitalisation.
