Holistic therapy is an approach to healing that considers the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - rather than just treating symptoms. At KM Therapy in Peterhead, we combine various techniques like massage, Reiki, and reflexology to address the root causes of imbalance. This integrated approach helps release physical tension, emotional blockages, and energetic stagnation simultaneously for more profound and lasting results.

Therapeutic massage at our Peterhead clinic reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) levels while increasing serotonin and dopamine. The physical manipulation of muscles combined with the calming environment helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation. Many clients report immediate relief from anxiety symptoms and improved sleep after sessions.

During your first Reiki session at KM Therapy, you'll remain fully clothed while lying comfortably on a treatment table. Ken will gently place his hands on or slightly above different areas of your body to channel healing energy. Most people feel deep relaxation, warmth, or tingling sensations. Some experience emotional releases. Each session is unique and tailored to your current needs.

Yes, reflexology works with specific reflex points on the feet that correspond to organs and systems throughout the body. By applying targeted pressure to these points, we can stimulate better function in related areas. Many clients in Peterhead report significant improvement in digestive issues, menstrual problems, and menopausal symptoms after regular reflexology sessions. While not a replacement for medical treatment, it's an excellent complementary therapy.

Shamanic healing at KM Therapy involves ancient spiritual techniques that work at the soul level. While Reiki focuses on energy balancing, shamanic practices may include soul retrieval (recovering lost parts of yourself after trauma), power animal retrieval, or ancestral healing. These sessions often use drumming and may involve more interactive processes than traditional energy work. It's particularly powerful for deep emotional wounds or spiritual awakening.

This varies depending on your condition and goals. Some clients experience immediate relief after one session, while chronic issues may require regular treatments. Generally, we recommend 3-4 weekly sessions initially for significant concerns, then moving to maintenance visits. During your first appointment in our Peterhead clinic, Ken will assess your needs and suggest a personalized treatment plan.

Many of our therapies are safe and beneficial during pregnancy with appropriate modifications. Prenatal massage uses special positioning and techniques to avoid pressure points that could stimulate labor. Reflexology can be wonderfully soothing but avoids certain areas during pregnancy. Reiki is completely safe. We recommend waiting until after the first trimester and always consulting your midwife first.

For massage, you'll undress to your comfort level (always covered by draping for privacy). Wear loose, comfortable clothing you can easily move in. For Reiki or shamanic healing, regular comfortable clothes are perfect. For reflexology, wear pants that can be rolled up above the knees or loose enough to pull up easily. We have changing facilities at our Peterhead location.

Yes! KM Therapy offers beautifully presented gift vouchers that can be purchased for any amount or specific treatment. These make wonderful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or just to show someone you care. Vouchers can be purchased in-person at our Peterhead clinic or arranged remotely via phone/email.

If you're unsure which therapy would best suit your needs, we offer free 10-minute discovery calls to discuss your situation. Generally: choose massage for physical pain/tension, Reiki for emotional/spiritual concerns, reflexology for internal/systemic issues, and shamanic healing for deep emotional/spiritual work. Our integrated holistic sessions combine elements of all approaches for comprehensive care.
