A Personal Message from Louise:

I love my work and am passionate about making you feel the deepest sense of well being possible, including a reduction in any pain you may have been experiencing, together with a more positive attitude and sense of overall well-being generally.

I chose the name Beyond Alchemy Massage because my goal is to transform my clients' sense of well-being from the heavy "lead" of day-to-day life into golden upliftment (the alchemists dream was to change lead into gold) !

Sometimes a problem or dilemma is so close to you it is as if one can not see the 'woods for the trees'..but with a fresh ear to listen a clear solution will often pop up in my mind that is usually obvious but over looked so please feel free to use me as an intuitive sounding block !

Beyond Alchemy Massage

Beyond Alchemy Massage was established in 1990 by Louise Graham. She is a highly qualified and experienced therapist who offers a wide range of massage and aromatherapy treatments and associated products.

Massage Styles:

As a result of her extensive training, Louise adjusts her technique to suit each particular case. Her treatments can be described in terms of "layers".
For example, aromatherapy greatly enhances the massage. Reiki healing flows through if needed. The hot stones add another dimension of deep heat to prepare the muscles for a more effective result. The pressure and manipulations can be deep where appropriate (e.g. for sports enthusiasts), but of course much more gentle in cases of the elderly and those with thin or especially sensitive skin/tissues.

The Benefits of Therapist Experience:

Louise has been treating people for 20 years and has worked with many different types of physique. Her practice is professional - with a "human touch",

"For example, it is not unusual for clients leave with a piece of homemade cake or my famous hummus! "

In addition to receiving a beneficial massage or other treatment some people also find it helpful to discuss their overall lifestyle and nutrition. In certain situations, a few adjustments may be hugely beneficial. I am pleased to work with you in these areas as appropriate.

Who might benefit from a Beyond Alchemy Massage treatment ?

Due to her extensive knowledge and experience, Louise is able to assist people affected by a wide-range of conditions. Examples of situations from which clients have gained relief include:

• Headaches
• "Computer" neck & shouders
• Muscles spasms
• Depression
• M.E
• Post operation & scars
• Conception, pregnancy & post labour

However, you don't need to be suffering from any problems to enjoy and benefit from a therapeutic massaage. In many cases clients are fit and healthy and one or more of the following apply:

• You work hard & enjoy regular treatments for complete relaxation
• You appreciate the benefits of the prevention and/or management of stress
• You have received a great gift voucher for a luxury treatment
• You want to get someone else (or yourself!) a gift of a luxury treatment
• For no reason at all ... except that you love the massage experience!

Louise also offers aromatherapy massages for ladies' party groups, such as Hen Parties and Pamper Days - or just for a wonderful indulgent excuse to meet your friends and treat yourselves !
In the case of mothers receiving treatments she can also massage the children:

They often pick up on the relaxing vibe. It is great to get them to be aware of their body & keep it still & calm. Using visualization techniques 5 year-olds & up can enjoy a 15 to 30 minute treatment.)" Louise.
