Barbara Jack

Barbara has been practicing as a therapist since 1998, offering Deep Tissue Massage, Aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, Pregnancy massage, Reiki, Angelic Heart healing and VortexHealing® Divine energy healing. She works intuitively so that each session is tailored for individual clients, whether it’s a stronger massage to relieve muscle pain and tension, a gentle, relaxing massage, or healing on a deeper level. Barbara is fully insured, and a member of the Complementary Therapists Association.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue Massage is one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness whilst speeding up recovery and encouraging healing. It is especially good for back pain and sports injuries and can help to alleviate a number of disorders including:

· Stress

· Muscle tension

· Whiplash

· Backache and Sciatica

· Headaches and migraines

· Frozen shoulders

· Stiff neck, shoulders and back

· Sprains and strains

· Repetitive strain injuries

· Postural and alignment problems

· Poor blood flow and lymph circulation

The soft tissue of muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia respond positively to touch and so this type of manipulative massage is effective for relaxation and pain relief as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat injury. Remedial massage is not specific to injury or pain, and anyone can benefit from this deep tissue therapy, which is restorative, soothing, and addresses some of the postural issues and tension created by a hectic lifetsyle.

Aromatherapy

A relaxing massage therapy using essential oils. Essential oils are extracted from flowers and plants and have been used for centuries for their restorative and healing properties, both physically and psychologically. The sense of smell directly affects the limbic system – a part of the brain that controls emotions and the nervous system. Essential oils have unique healing properties, for example:

Chamomile, lavender and geranium are calming.

Rosemary is cleansing and energising.

Ylang ylang and neroli are uplifting.

Eucalyptus and pine are decongestants.

The oils are combined to create a unique blend, tailored to the needs of each client, and combined with massage, they promote feelings of deep relaxation and wellbeing. Aromatherapy massage has been proven to reduce stress and depression, including post-partum blues. It helps to undo knots and smooths out areas of tension in the body, especially the back, neck and shoulders. It can help alleviate a number of stress-related conditions including anxiety and insomnia, headaches and digestive disorders, as well as symptoms such as period pain and back ache. Barbara works in an intuitive and holistic way, tuning into the individual needs of clients for personalised, focused healing.

Indian Head Massage

An ancient Ayurvedic massage to relax, revitalise and beautify Indian Head Massage is a deep, tension releasing massage based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. This deeply calming massage focuses not only on the head and scalp, but also on the face, neck, shoulders, upper arms and upper back, the areas of the body that tend to store the most tension. This style of massage helps energy to flow around the body by clearing blockages, and can benefit those suffering from stress, tension headaches, sinusitis, ear problems, insomnia, hair loss, muscular tension and fatigue, while also helping to improve the condition of the skin and hair.

Barbara integrates acupressure techniques into her Indian Head Massage treatments, as well as channeled healing energy, to add to the effectiveness and depth of the healing.

Pregnancy massage

Pregnancy massage is a therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the specific needs of pregnant women. It can help with aches and pains, improve circulation, and relieve mental and physical fatigue. Pregnancy massage can be offered from 12 weeks’ gestation. Pregnant clients lie on their side during the massage, cocooned with plenty of pillows. Benefits of Pregnancy Massage:

Reduces Swelling: Helps to reduce oedema (swelling of the joints) by stimulating soft tissues to reduce the collection of fluids.

Relieves Lower Back Pain: Alleviates the pressure and pain in the lower back, which is common during pregnancy.

Improves Sleep: Promotes better sleep by reducing stress and anxiety.

Reduces Muscle Tension and Headaches: Helps to relax tense muscles and alleviate discomfort.

Enhances Circulation: Improves blood flow, which can benefit both mother and baby.

Improves Mood and Lowers Stress Levels: Helps to release endorphins that enhance mood and overall well-being.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique, originating about 100 years ago. It involves the laying-on of hands and uses the vital energy that flows through the universe, and us all, to heal and nurture. When the vital energy is low or out of balance we are more vulnerable to illness and stress. Reiki, meaning literally ‘universal life force energy’ replenishes our ki and re-balances the subtle energies within our bodies, promoting health and wellbeing. After a reiki session, clients often report a warm, glowing radiance that flows through the body and mind. Reiki addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues, and has been known to result in major positive transformations and healings. During a Reiki healing session, the therapist places their hands lightly on different parts of the client’s body, intuitively allowing their movements to be guided by the needs of the individual. Reiki healing can take place as a stand alone treatment, or can be integrated as part of a massage session. Barbara is a qualified Reiki Master, and can offer Reiki attunements to groups or individuals.

Angelic Heart healings

Angelic Heart healings are part of, and are facilitated by the VortexHealing® lineage. The healings bring through Angelic energy and consciousness, creating a deeply transformational space. The human emotional system responds very well to it, facilitating the release of old emotional patterns and the remembering of our own heart and deeper being. Angelic Heart is a powerful energy with personal situations (providing clarity and new solutions), with emotional distress and anxiety (providing comfort and hope), and with confusion or a loss of hope (providing clarity, or a feeling of safety and new possibilities). It creates a mirror that reflects issues, but with a bliss aspect, to light up another way of being within the situation. Often you will find solutions to or understanding of challenges appearing for some days after a healing. The healings work through the energetic bodies and the LifeField – a fundamental part of the human consciousness, which forms a deep source of support for our issues. This creates a new consciousness space within the LifeField, or within specific areas of it, where we hold individual issues. We are pulled into the new space (for it has lovely angelic consciousness), which weakens the identification with the conditioning that is still there. Sometimes, this will enable the conditioning and sometimes the whole issue, to be seen in a new light, creating emotional transformation.

A great deal of light is brought in, and the energy is dense enough to channel into the physical form, bringing deep relaxation and a feeling of wellbeing and bliss. Automatic structures are created for the session, to focus the energy, and a special spinning structure can be manifested in the system, to bring in the qualities of Equanimity, Compassion, Sympathetic joy and Loving kindness, with Divine magic at its core. As with general Vortexhealing sessions, Angelic Heart can be received in person or at a distance. For in person sessions, the practitioner’s hands are at the receiver’s head or shoulders, and clients remain fully clothed throughout.

VortexHealing® Divine energy healing

A powerful healing art that works with Divine energy and consciousness VortexHealing works to release old, limiting patterns and conditioning on the physical, emotional, spiritual, karmic and pre karmic levels. By channelling a powerful healing art that works with Divine energy and consciousness. seemingly insurmountable issues can be magically transformed. 49 different forms of Vortex energy, each effective for specific needs, can be channelled and, at this level, the Universal Assemblage Point (UAP), which is responsible for the manifestation of reality in our area of creation, can be accessed and utilised, to help bring in a different manifestation for physical and emotional issues. VortexHealing can be done in-person or at a distance. When in-person, the client lies down and the therapist places their hands on their shoulders or head. Energetic crystals and healing structures are channelled into the client’s system and they can be linked up to a global healing grid, bringing increased power for healing. The first one or two sessions at this level are generally an energetic tune up, fortifying the system and freeing up the flow of energy in a general way. If you wish to work on deeper issues, those first two sessions create the space needed to clear at a more profound level. Vortexhealing can be very effective for clearing infections too, including those at the subclinical level, which can help to ease chronic fatigue, and other autoimmune illnesses. It can also go some way towards helping to keep lyme and herpes infections under control.

Barbara has been practicing VortexHealing since 2002, and is currently qualified to UAP level. She’s also qualified to channel Angelic Heart healings (see above). Angelic Heart is a beautiful energy that can also be used within general Vortexhealing sessions, to relax and nurture, and bring in new possibilities. Face to face healings are available in Hastings, Lewes and Hove.

For distance healings, the initial consultation, for new clients, will be via phone or Zoom video calling, then there are two options for the session itself: We link up via Zoom for the session, or you send a picture, and at the agreed time, lie down or sit comfortably and tune in for the healing.

Testimonials

“Barbara worked her magic on my back a few times and I must say, she is the best massage therapist I know! She combines a very good understanding of anatomy and physiology with a more intuitive approach to healing. I have suffered from excruciating back pains and Barbara’s gentle healing touch brought me a lot of relief. She is a real back whisperer!” - Noemie Rimmer, East Grinstead.

“My Aromatherapy massage with Barbara was pure bliss! In a comfy treatment room, she first asked about my medical history, then choose the oils, including geranium, lavender and rosemary. I lay face down with warm towels over me, and she worked on my back, spine and shoulders, checking if I was OK with the pressure (I was). The head massage was relaxing, the facial was gorgeous. I wished it could go on much longer! Barbara is a brilliant masseuse. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” - Beverley D’Silva, Lewes.
