Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT) is a very powerful but gentle way of releasing emotional, mental and physical pain.
EFT uses a process that works with the energy meridians of the body, balancing the body’s energy system and removing any disturbance or emotional blocks to the energy flow around the body.
Very simply, EFT is a form of acupuncture, except you use your fingers instead of needles on the energy meridians.
It works by gently tapping on specific meridian points on the face and hands, whilst at the same time using spoken affirmations.
Within a couple of sessions, all negative and pent-up emotions may be released, enabling you to reduce stress, tension or pain.
The process is easy to memorise, and within just one session, you will have the skills to use EFT on yourself for any situation you may find yourself in, and as it is portable, you can use it anywhere.
EFT is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including:
Addictions and cravings
Anger
Anxiety and panic attacks
Headaches and migraine
Joint and back pain
Phobias
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Self-esteem and poor self-image
Sports injuries and performance anxiety
Stress and mental health issues
Who Provides Emotional Freedom Technique at Cheshire Lasers?
Natasha and Jade provide Brazilian and Hollywood Bikini hot waxing at Cheshire Lasers Clinic for women. They have many years of experience and provide this treatment to a high standard.
What does intimate hot waxing involve?
The hot wax is spread thickly onto the skin and allowed to dry slightly before it is gently peeled away. The hair comes away with the wax, leaving behind smooth skin. This is different to traditional waxing which involves warm wax and strips. Hot wax does not stick to the skin so is better for more sensitive areas.
Although the treatment may be uncomfortable the hot wax method is far less painful than most and pulls hair directly from the roots. The benefits include fewer in-grown hairs, less breakage and therefore longer re-growth periods.
The most popular treatments are the Brazilian and the Hollywood. Our therapists have been performing these treatments for many years.
Whats the difference between Hollywood Wax vs Brazilian Wax?
The Brazilian Hot Wax
Brazilian bikini waxes were introduced to New York in 1987 by 7 Brazilian-born sisters. The Brazilian remains a popular hair removal method in the US.
Brazilian waxes differ from regular bikini waxes because hair is removed in the front, back, and everything in between. A “landing strip” is typically left in the front.
The Hollywood Hot Wax
The Hollywood wax removes all the bikini hair, so you are entirely hair-free.
The Thong Bikini Hot Wax
The hair is taken from around the front and sides, but the middle (labia) and around the back are left alone.
If you wear a thong and want down there to be smooth and clean of hair without feeling too bare, this is a good option.
The shape of the hair at the front is totally up to you, but a landing strip is a classic option. Other popular shapes include a tiny triangle and a postage stamp but feel free to ask for whatever style you prefer.
Who provides Brazilian and Hollywood Bikini Waxing at Cheshire Lasers?
Jade has her own Business, Beautology she specialises in Brazilian and Hollywood Bikini hot waxing and has been performing these treatments for years. She uses premium lycon wax which is fantastic for those intimate areas. She has received some fantastic reviews and comes highly recommended. Jade is available four days a week, including some late evenings, and she also works most Saturdays.
Natasha trained in hot bikini waxing in intimate areas in 2011 and has been performing treatments since. For years it was one of her favourite treatments. Although Natasha is now a level 4 laser technician, and provides more laser treatments in this area than waxing.
Exfoliate the area lightly a few days before the treatment (2-3 times a week). This will help prepare the skin and reduce ingrowing hairs.
Take a shower before your appointment, or if you are coming from work, shower in the morning. You may want to bring wipes to freshen up when you arrive.
When should I shave? Ideally, your hair should be around a quarter-inch long. For most people, this is about four weeks of hair growth after your last shave, wax, or other hair removal method. We can wax the area if there is less than this, but regrowth may be faster.
We recommend you wear loose clothing to your appointment.
If you find the treatment uncomfortable, you may want to take pain relief such as paracetamol.
We don’t recommend this treatment when you are near to or on a period, as it can be more uncomfortable at this time.
Post-Treatment Advice
Avoid tight clothing after treatment.
Don’t expose the area to sunlight or tanning beds for at least 48 hours.
Avoid exercise, swimming, sauna and steam rooms for 48 hours. It’s fine to have a warm bath or shower but avoid exposing the area to hot or cold temperatures.
Use gentle moisturising products on the area and nothing perfumed that will irritate the skin.
Gently exfoliate the area 48 hours after 2-3 times a week to prevent ingrowing hairs.
Book your next wax in around 6 weeks’ time, depending on your regrowth.

Reflexology is based upon the principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all the major parts of the body. It is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body.
This practice aims to promote health and well-being by stimulating these reflex points.
Benefits of Reflexology:
Increased circulation: by stimulating blood flow, reflexology may enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, potentially improving overall health.
Improved relaxation: may help alleviate stress and induce deep relaxation, contributing to overall well-being.

Immune System Boost: By promoting overall relaxation and balance, reflexology may support the immune system’s function, potentially reducing the frequency of illnesses.
Anxiety and Depression Alleviation: Reflexology may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, promoting emotional balance and mental health.
Reflexology can help alleviate many problems, such as colds, sinusitis, migraines, asthma, sciatica and insomnia.

Who Provides Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers?
At Cheshire Lasers Clinic, we have two highly experienced Reflexologists:
A Reflexology treatment (with or without specially selected aromatherapy oils) lasts for approximately 60 minutes. The first treatment, however, can take up to 90 minutes as a full client consultation occurs before the treatment can commence.
During a typical reflexology session, the reflexologist will take a detailed medical history. Sessions are usually performed in a comfortable chair or couch. The client will be asked to remove footwear and socks. The practitioner will make a visual and tactile examination of the area to be worked on before beginning the precise reflexology movements. The particular types of movements involved require the application of appropriate pressure using the thumb and fingers.
Why may I benefit from Reflexology?
Reflexology may be beneficial in restoring balance and harmony in the body and releasing tension. Practitioners believe that it helps facilitate a deep state of relaxation, calm emotions, and produce a serene mind. Research studies support many of these benefits.
Many people describe a profound sense of relaxation and increased energy following their session. In addition, specific studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and anxiety.
Reflexology is growing increasingly popular across Europe and Asia as both a complement to other treatments and as a preventive measure. One example is Denmark, where various municipalities and companies have employed reflexologists since the early ’90s.
According to several studies, this practice in Denmark has resulted in reduced sick leave and absenteeism (and significant economic savings for the employers). Employees have consistently reported a complete or partial improvement in conditions where they sought reflexologists’ help and even relief for additional problems related to stress. In one municipal district, almost one-third of the employees reported greater satisfaction with their jobs after completing six sessions with a reflexologist.

Cheshire Lasers can help with your fertility journey.
Mark Guggiari specialises in Acupuncture to help fertility and pre-conception care here at Cheshire Lasers.
Sharron Roughton specialises in Reflexology and has training and experience treating couples for fertility and women throughout their pregnancy.
It is estimated that 1 in 7 couples in the UK will experience fertility issues every year, this is approximately 3.5 million people (NHS, 2017). The psychological effects of being unable to get or stay pregnant can be absolutely devastating. Some people get caught in a cycle of expectation and disappointment every month, which can add considerably to the stress they are already experiencing. For some this can lead to anxiety and low mood. Some people also find it difficult to talk to family and friends and can often feel isolated.
How can Acupuncture help with Fertility?
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine help prepare your body for conception, be it assisted conception or natural conception.
Many people choose acupuncture because they would like to avoid assisted conception. Some have chosen it because they have heard it is a beneficial support during assisted conception. Others turn to acupuncture because they have tried everything else and want to explore other options to help them conceive.
Wherever you may be in your fertility journey, acupuncture support may be an excellent way to help bring you into better balance.
Whatever the reason:
Just at the outset of trying to conceive
You have been trying for some time
Just embarking down the assisted pathway
You may have had multiple assisted experiences

Mark’s patients benefit from his rare experience of working within a major IVF clinic within the NHS. He provides packages of acupuncture treatment to support patients during their treatment cycle, as well as immediately pre and post embryo transfer at the clinic.
Busy lives can impact your natural fertility and conception. Balance in a woman’s or man’s emotional and physical well-being is extremely important in the attempt to conceive. Reflexology has been used for fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth throughout history. Reflexology assists in re-balancing the mind and body, bringing about body balance.
Whilst fertility reflexology can never claim to cure any particular condition, it works by balancing all the of body systems particularly the endocrine system, enhancing your own natural fertility.
Encouraging the body to work in a more harmonious way can create a healthier environment for pregnancy to occur. Fertility Reflexology promotes your body’s balance and encourages the body to function efficiently.
Using Reflexology, Sharron can help you through your fertility journey, be it pre-conceptual care, infertility or pregnancy.

It is a massage treatment based on a system of traditional medicine which has been practised in India for over a thousand years.
The aim is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.
What does Indian Head Massage Involve?
The client usually sits in a massage chair for the treatment. Our therapist uses a range of different movements, including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. In addition, our therapist will also gently stimulate key pressure points on the face. This treatment is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. The technique also helps increase joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension.
Conditions that can benefit from Indian Head Massage are as follows:
Neck and shoulder pain
Face pain
Scalp conditions

What is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)?
EMDR is a treatment for distressing memories; those memories may be related to trauma such as sexual abuse, childhood neglect, road traffic accidents or violence. It can also, be helpful for phobias, traumatic grief, pain and performance anxiety. Traumatic memories can become blocked in the brain which then causes symptoms of anxiety and intrusive images.
You may have tried to avoid the thoughts and certain places related to the trauma because of this. The brain stem is triggering the fight/flight response. The Amygdala in the brain becomes overcharged by the blocked memory as it remains unprocessed and undigested. It then affects the thinking process.
EMDR treatment uses bilateral stimulation activating the left and right brain hemispheres. It activates the memory networks allowing the memory to be processed and digested. The bilateral stimulation can be auditory, tactile, sensory and also visual stimulus. It may trigger off other memories that you may not have been aware of.
Please consult the following web address for further information on EMDR;
