Welcome to Alison Le Mar Therapist and Yoga Teacher in Faversham, Kent
Hello and thank you for visiting my site. You're warmly welcome!
I do sincerely hope that you'll find what you're looking for here whether you're seeking a calm retreat from a busy world, some quality time for yourself to relax and unwind, release from pain or treatment to support rehabilitation back from injury or ill health.
I offer a range of professional therapeutic treatments and yoga classes with exceptional care to help meet your individual holistic needs: whatever form they may take!
Therapeutic care and massage therapy treatment
Massage and complementary therapies that I offer:
- Remedial and Deeper Tissue Massage
- Fusion Therapy with Sports Massage
- Swedish, Holistic and Integrated massage
- Reflexology
- Indian Head Massage
- Aromatherapy
- Reiki, Angelic Reiki and Rahanni Celestial Healing
- NEW: Access Consciousness Bars®
- NEW: Abdominal Sacral Massage
- NEW: Vibrational Sound TherapyMany people seek massage therapy, reflexology and Reiki purely for relaxation and comfort, but many people may also seek a massage therapist for deeper work, such as help with pain or pain management, sports rehabilitation, or help for a specific problem or health condition.Though my treatments may have a wide range of objectives, each is bespoke in its content and nature to directly meet your individual needs and effectively enhance your musculoskeletal health, vitality and wellbeing.
Treatment menu and choices
Sometimes people contact me with a specific request for treatment- they’re a keen runner or cyclist perhaps and are looking to book an appointment for sports massage to help relieve tightness, or people have a great deal of cumulative, deep seated congestion through work related repetitive strain and are looking for some deeper tissue massage or clinical, remedial work.
Some people of course, are drawn to booking Swedish body massage to balance relaxation with some reduced muscle tension.
Sometimes however, people are somewhat undecided on which treatment to book. In these circumstances I always welcome people to contact me so that we may discuss how to proceed. Often people will know what they would like treatment to achieve or how they wish to feel.
I am always happy to discuss this so that we may decide on the best direction to take you forward towards meeting your health, wellness and perhaps fitness, goals. Reiki may be combined with reflexology for example, aromatherapy may be offered with reflexology or Indian head massage may be fused with Reiki- the possibilities are varied and numerous!
Later in 2019, I will be adding fertility and maternity reflexology, facial reflexology, reflexology lymph drainage and zone face lift to my treatment menu so there will be even more holistic treats to aid deep relaxation, relieve stress and tension, improve sleep, balance hormones and much more.
Are you in pain?
I specialise in helping get you out of pain's grip!
If you're currently living with any type of chronic and deep seated tension or persistent aches, pain and discomfort, I may very well be able to help you feel freer, lighter and more at ease in your body.
Together we can create and manage your treatment plan that will help reduce your pain, improve your range of motion and help restore effective musculoskeletal function.
If you are experiencing conditions such as lower back pain, tight and aching shoulders, a stiff neck, repetitive strain injuries or many other conditions that are causing you unease and wearing you down, then please feel free to contact me so that we may discuss how I may be able to help you.
Greater physical, mental and emotional health
Alongside any hands on treatment, I also advise on ways you may help yourself maximise the benefits of treatment, including postural assessment, lifestyle and mindset adjustments, plus stretches and strengthening exercises to bring you back into optimal alignment and musculoskeletal health.
My approach is truly holistic, thorough and comprehensive in working with you to meet your treatment goals and support you in living life to the full.
Yoga
I also teach several yoga classes for health, vitality and wellbeing within the town which include a wide variety of asana (physical postures), breathwork, guided meditation and deep relaxation. All classes focus upon developing flexibility as well as strength which over time may help you enjoy a wider repertoire of quality, functional movement in everyday life.
I teach yoga classes at the St. Jude Welcome Centre which is quietly situated near the town centre and just down the A2 from Norton, Bapchild, Teynham and Sittingbourne, Kent.
If however, you’re more Boughton, Dunkirk, Selling, Blean, Canterbury or Sturry based or more towards the coast in Graveney, Seasalter or Whitstable and looking for classes, it’s also a very viable option to choose. Kent's M2 is not far away!
Of course, wherever you are locally and whichever class, day or time suits you best you are very welcome to attend! Please just contact me to let me know your preference and check that space is currently available on the class.
Massage and Yoga complement each other beautifully
As a therapist I think I give treatments that I like to receive myself: ones that genuinely target and help untangle my deep seated muscular tension, soothe any frazzled nerves, calm my mind and blissfully relax me. I want to feel that I'm in a calm, safe, competent and caring pair of hands and that's what I always aim to offer you too.
I always remember that you have a choice and want you to feel you've received excellence in your care and massage therapy, reflexology or Reiki treatment experience.
My yoga classes similarly offer you opportunity to release tension in body and mind, relax and explore creating greater openness and freedom for the body and mind to uplift the spirit. I focus on developing strength in your flexibility and flexibility in your strength to help you enjoy a well balanced body that is supported by a healthy mind and positive outlook.
Where to find me
I practice from The Gatefield Clinic which is located in a quiet lane just off Preston Street in the heart of Faversham and is easily accessible from all the surrounding villages for all your massage therapy, reflexology and Reiki needs. I am conveniently available just off the high street for massage in Faversham's town centre.
There are also good transport links for the clinic to be within easy reach from Canterbury, Sittingbourne, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Maidstone and Ashford. Indeed, handy if you're anywhere nearby in East Kent or Swale!
Both Canterbury and Sittingbourne are only 10 miles away so very reachable if you're in need of an effective, therapeutic massage in Faversham, or a well deserved, quality treatment experience of your choice. I'm a reflexologist for Canterbury and a yoga teacher for Sittingbourne- a little distance really is just that!
Naturally good for you
To stay in touch with all the latest news, natural health and wellness tips and special offers, you can also find me on Facebook and Twitter.
I can now be found on Instagram too! Here I post inspiration on living a more mindful and peaceful life, keeping our much needed connection to the natural world and living the true spirit of yoga.
Please feel free to share your feedback and reviews.
NEW... Vibrational Sound Therapy
After recently completing my training, I am now beginning my case studies to qualify as a sound therapist using vibrational tuning forks. This is such an exciting modality with amazing ability to help relieve pain, soothe emotional distress and stimulate healing on a cellular level. I will be offering this alongside all clinic treatments and as a stand alone treatment in itself.
Every atom, particle, molecule is energy. All energy has a constant vibration and frequency. This includes the organs, cells, bone, tissue and liquid in our bodies, including our electromagnetic fields (otherwise known as our aura).
If some part of us is not resonating at the right frequency we become out of balance, which may lead to illness. The various frequencies I am working with help to clear and cleanse stale and stagnant energy whilst helping to release blockages. Old patterns of thinking and beliefs can be positively affected to help rebalance and realign on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level.
