CYPRUS VILLAGES - TOCHNI COUNTRY RETREAT & SPA
"The Tochni Country Retreat & Spa is there to help replace what everyday life takes out of you.."

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.

Sylvia brings her own individual personality, experience and training to the treatment. She is a holistic mind-body therapist with twenty years experience, seventeen in Ireland and three in Cyprus.

Our Therapies
The treatments are preceded by a short health consultation, to identify your goals and expectations, and any potential contraindications. The therapist will explain the treatment and answer any questions. 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 ea.)
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.
