MIZAN THERAPY
What is Mizan therapy?
Mizan uses traditional healing techniques to address conditions involving female reproductive organs, the digestive system as well as emotional health. These techniques are still commonly used in many parts of the world including South America, Africa and the Far East to support women’s health. It is a gentle massage treatment that brings healing to the womb space and optimises women's health and well-being on both physical and emotional levels. Reconnecting with your womb is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself as a woman whatever your stage of life.
What happens in a treatment?
The first appointment takes around two and a half hours it begins with a long consultation, a full treatment, I teach you a self care massage and may recommend other self care techniques and life style changes you can make to help yourself further. Subsequent appointments are an hour. Mizan is a massage of the lower and upper abdomen, lower back and a little bit of lymphatic work on the legs.
How often is a Mizan recommended?
Initially, we suggest you to begin with a series of 3 sessions (at a reduced package price) and then it depends on what the reason for the treatment is . Sometimes the three appointments are enough , sometimes more time is needed. Many women have a monthly/bi-monthly Mizan treat for ongoing self -care and because every woman deserves a belly rub.
