About Serena Crawford S.A.C.O.B (SA) I.T.E.C. (UK)

Having grown up on farms in Africa, I was fortunate to experience the healing power of touch by observing the animals and birds, and how they gently caressed one of their own when they were ill or stressed. I noticed how the animals and birds would be soothed and yet energised by touch! Observing them made me realise, that this natural healing process can work for humans as well.

As a result, I have been involved in the Natural Healing Field, both Nationally and Internationally for the last 31 years.

Other concerns & issues I deal with

    STRESS MANAGEMENT

    The term "STRESS" refers to any reaction to a physical or mental stimulus that requires an alteration, negatively or positively, to the way we normally perform, think or feel.

    Having worked at the top of my Profession for a long time; juggling work and personal demands, I understand the detrimental effects of a busy life:

    No personal time
    No down-time to laugh and be carefree
    Unhealthy rushed meals
    No regular exercise
    No time for hobbies
    No time to connect with the peacefulness of nature OR animals

    STRESS CAN CAUSE MANY CHANGES AMONGST THEM BEING:


    Emotional irritability
    Emotional withdrawal
    Elevated heart rate
    Shallow breathing
    Tooth grinding
    Body pain
    Fatigue




    A state of continual stress/worry can eventually wear out the body and mind to a high degree.

    During a STRESS MANAGEMENT CONSULTATION, we will look at where you are in your life at the present moment, breaking it down into different areas and into percentages.

    We will then discuss where you would like to be in those different areas in the near future and how you would like to gently start making the changes.

    THERAPEUTIC REFLEXOLOGY

    Therapeutic Reflexology is a Natural Therapy, that encourages the body to obtain and maintain optimum health through the application of various pressure and massage techniques on the feet and ankles, and sometimes the hands and wrists.

    The treatment affects the external and internal structures and organs of the body, which are mapped out in miniature on the feet and ankles and the hands and wrists.

    Reflexology has been used as a Natural Healing Therapy for centuries and in many countries to promote natural healing. Reflexology can promote a deep feeling of relaxation and well-being, both physically and mentally.

    Everyday life with its normal stresses can cause imbalances in our body and mind. Illness, injury or disease will add further demands on the body and mind and can prevent the body from functioning in a balanced way.

    Some of the situations that have responded positively to Therapeutic Reflexology include:
    • Sleeplessness
    • Anxiety
    • Joint pain
    • Muscular pain
    • Body tightness
    • Mental Stress
    • Body pain

    During your Consultation, we will discuss your present health status and together we will decide which reflex points need to be worked on and what treatment plan will best suit your physical and mental situation.

    THERAPEUTIC AROMATHERAPY

    Therapeutic Aromatherapy is a natural healing therapy, which uses the nature-based properties of essential oils to assist the body in its own natural healing process. The essential oils used are obtained from plants, flowers and trees.

    There are many natural properties of the essential oils, some of these are:

    TONIC DETOXING
    SEDATIVE
    CARMINATIVE
    ANTI-SPASMODIC
    ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
    ANTI-BACTERIAL


    The most popular use of the essential oils is during an Aromatherapy Massage. The immediate effect of the use of essential oils that you will notice as the blend is being prepared, will be on your sense of smell. Firstly, the aroma triggers a part of the brain resulting in an emotional response, then the receptors in your nasal membrane will carry oils with their therapeutic properties, into your bloodstream.

    The therapeutic effects of the oils are then further enhanced by the use of body massage techniques which will increase the flow of blood and greatly enable the essential oils to be transported to all areas of the body leading to and ensuring a truly holistic treatment and a sense of physical and emotional well-being.

    So Aromatherapy Massage brings with it all the usual benefits of a body massage along with the many additional therapeutic qualities of the particular essential oils used.

    During your Consultation, we will discuss your present health situation and together we will decide which essential oil synergy and treatment plan will best suit your physical and emotional needs.

    THERAPEUTIC SWEDISH MASSAGE

    Therapeutic Swedish Massage is a natural and drug free Complementary Therapy treatment. It is a massage that incorporates firm movements that facilitates the manipulation of skin and muscles.

    Some of the benefits of massage are:

    A SENSE OF RELAXATION
    A SENSE OF WELL BEING
    NATURAL PAIN RELIEVER
    IMPROVED BLOOD SUPPLY TO JOINTS
    IMPROVED BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE SKIN
    IMPROVED BLOOD SUPPLY TO MUSCLES

    FLUSHING OUT OF WASTE PRODUCTS FROM THE AREA WORKED ON


    TOUCH HAS FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME BEEN A NATURAL TRANQUILLIZER


    During your Consultation, we will discuss your present situation and together, you and I will decide on a treatment plan to best suit you.
