Recharge yourself in the tranquil, relaxing environs of village
life, where everything revolves around one simple philosophy, eat
healthily, sleep well and have the stresses and tensions of body
and mind attended to. With many individual treatments and an array
of activities on offer, there are many different ways to enjoy your
stay.
Having your time as your own, to spend as you wish, without being
directed, is the route to relaxation for many Tochni guests.

An alternative
approach is to consider the goal of your stay, and seek guidance
from the spa therapist in planning your time to get the best return.
Generally some physical activity will be recommended - gentle or
intensive depending on you - along with attention to the nutritional
quality of your diet, and finding opportunity to rest and relax
as you feel the need. Some reflection on what it is that makes you
well may also be helpful. The spa facilities and daily activity
programme offer opportunities in all of these areas. If you are
interested in taking this more structured approach to your stay,
take a look at our Health & Wellness programme.
In these challenging times, don't allow stress get the upper hand.
Tochni Country Retreat & Spa offers an effective means of discharging
the mental and physical symptoms of stress, and of assisting you
to stay on top of stress by strengthening your own resilience.

For an hour you receive the undivided attention of your therapist.
The Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is a highly effective, gentle remedial therapy,
which stimulates the body to rebalance itself. It promotes healing,
pain relief and recovery of energy.

A treatment consists of a series of light moves performed over
muscles and connective tissue. Frequent pauses between sets of moves
allow the body time to respond.
These subtle inputs deliver signals to the autonomic (self regulating)
nervous system, stimulating the body's own innate healing mechanisms.
The Bowen Technique works on many levels, not only in freeing up
the physical body, but also in helping to release cell memories,
trauma and accumulated tensions and stress.
Treatment € 45.00 (when pre-booked € 40.00)
Ki-Massage Therapy
Ki-Massage is a deeply relaxing and healing experience as all the
stress and tensions of the body are gently but deeply eased away
resulting in a beautiful feeling of well-being, health and energy.
Ki-Massage relieves tension in the muscles throughout the body,
melting away accumulated stress. This allows the Ki or Life Force
within you to flow more freely again, opening the way to a greater
sense of well-being.

Ki-Massage is a therapy for more than just aches and pains. As
well as being extremely relaxing, the flow of Ki from the experienced
therapist will benefit the entire mental outlook of the person and
extend into life as a whole by allowing the Ki to flow into everyday
situations and relationships. Ki-Massage deals with the root cause
of stress which physical tightness and tension are only symptoms.
Full body treatment € 45.00 (1 hr.) 3-treatment package
€ 120.00
(when pre-booked: Treatment € 40.00 3-treatment package €
110.00)
Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic natural therapy based on the principle
that there are reflex points in the feet and hands that correspond
to all glands, organs and parts of the body.
A reflexology treatment consists of manipulation of these reflex
points to:
relieve stress and tension
improve blood circulation and promote the unblocking of nerve impulses
help nature to achieve homeostasis

By profoundly relaxing the client, reflexology aids in supporting
the body's own innate healing mechanisms, thereby addressing the
root cause of disease and not just the symptoms. It is estimated
that at least 75% of today's diseases are attributable to stress
and tension, so the relaxing, energizing, and rebalancing effects
of Reflexology make it a potent way to achieve better health in
our modern stressful lives. Reflexology can be utilized both as
a preventive measure or energy booster for those already enjoying
good health.
Treatment € 45.00 (when pre-booked € 40.00)
Yoga
The word Yoga means union of body, mind and spirit.
Sylvia teaches Hatha Yoga which is based on the ancient Ayurvedic
Indian tradition that is over 5000 years old.
A typical Yoga session consists of:
Breathing exercises
Controlled, focused breathing can be used to boost health and vitality
and to increase energy levels. Indeed, learning to work with the
breath is an extremely valuable tool on its own.
Stretching
Sylvia teaches a form of focused, gentle stretching to build up
flexibility within the body and to further prepare body and mind
for the Yoga postures.
Yoga Postures

The postures taught can be adapted to suit all levels of proficiency,
from beginners upwards. The emphasis is on helping the individual
to access a relaxed, focused "flow" of movement and to
work with their body, rather than insisting on perfect execution
of the particular posture.
Yoga postures work on many different levels: they strengthen the
physical body by working on the spine and the bony framework, the
muscles and connective tissue and the internal organs.
When executed in a focused, flowing manner, yoga postures clear
and strengthen the mind and assist in bringing about a state of
inner harmony.
Relaxation & Guided Meditation
To maximize the benefits of the session Sylvia typically concludes
with a relaxing guided meditation the content of which can be structured
around the particular needs of the individual.
As a Master NLP practitioner, Sylvia is experienced in assisting
individuals to relax deeply and in using positive suggestions to
keep them move forward in their lives.
Sylvia is flexible in her approach and sessions can be tailored
to suit particular individual needs.
Individual session € 40.00 (when pre-booked €
35.00)
2-3 person group € 25.00 ea. (when pre-booked € 20.00

3+ groups € 20.00 ea. (when pre-booked € 15.00 ea.)
Life Coaching
An individual consultation with a life coach can help you identify
where you are now, where you want to be & how you can get there.
An opportunity to seek clarity in a busy lifestyle and for goal
setting ...
Sometimes when we are unhappy or dissatisfied with our lives we
tend to make external changes—new house, new car, new husband!
Things may improve for a short while.
However what we may really need to do is make internal changes.
In order to make these internal changes we need to take a serious
look at our present life by considering
Where we are now
Where we really want to go
And how we will get there.

A Life Coach can lead you on this journey of self discovery. It
is not counselling—this is important. Life Coaching is for
people who want to move forward, perhaps feel stuck in a rut, who
feel they need to make changes in their life. With your Life Coach
you look at the steps you need to take by setting GOALS—long
and short term GOALS. This is the specific action you must take
to convert your dreams to reality.
Individual session € 50.00 (when pre-booked €
40.00)
3-session package € 130.00 (when pre-booked € 100.00)
Nutritional Consultation
An individual consultation with a Holistic Nutritional Therapist
can provide you with the knowledge and a plan for a healthy balanced
diet, whether you are interested in general health, weight loss
or sports nutrition.
Individual session € 60.00 (when pre-booked €
50.00)
It is advisable to pre book if you wish to avail of holistic treatments.
