Restful Change Age Break
Therapy
A Personal Introductory Message from Rick and Sue Sayer
“Restful Change Age-Break Therapy was very simply born of our own lives
and experience. It is something that happened naturally and evolved over
a number of years, yet we had no idea it was occurring until we became
the therapists we are today when, some years ago, we took a step back
and applied our own learnings and experiences……. to ourselves.
For
these reasons we know that Restful Change Age Break Therapy is a
natural, holistic and safe way to achieve the rejuvenescent dreams and
aspirations many of us hold.
No surgery is undertaken, no chemicals
or drugs are digested and we use no mechanical interventions. The principles to which we subscribe consist of a healthy lifestyle,
healthy mind and the appropriate use and application of gentle skin care
products.
We are
nearly one hundred years old!”
The Structure of the Therapy:
The
unique Restful Change Experience of combining gentle relaxation
interventions with health enhancing massage could not be better suited
to the aims of Restful Change
Age-Break Therapy. Each session is a combination of the two and the
foundations of the therapy are built upon eight consultations spread
over weekly intervals. They are conducted as follows:
|
First consultation – Slowing Down Time (2 hours)
You are
introduced to Restful Change Age-Break Therapy. We
explain how our tranquil, natural interventions help you
to overcome anxiety, reduce stress and use your own
resources, learning's and past experiences to enhance
your wellbeing, enabling you to enjoy the benefits of a
longer, active, healthy life.
Physically, your skin is massaged and therapeutically
treated reducing wrinkles and encouraging the
maintenance of a supple and healthy complexion.
We take
time to get to know you, enabling us to tailor the
Restful Change Age-Break Therapy programme to best suit
your needs and to fulfil your expectations.
We
describe how our psychological and physical
interventions are used in tandem to provide you, not
only with the tools and techniques that you will use to
reduce and slow down the on-set of signs of ageing but
also to provide you with an immensely enjoyable and
calming session of relaxation.
The
Initial Consultation is concluded with a wonderful
facial massage and the process of natural rejuvenation
begins. |

 |
|
Second Consultation – Firm Foundations (1 hour 30
minutes)
We believe it is important to ensure that
the structure of your wellbeing is prepared and good
shape; ready to accept the changes to your life style
and unconscious thought processes that will be proposed
and introduced as the programme develops. During this
session we work to achieve this, building a solid
foundation on which the framework for change can be
constructed.
This, and every, session of Relaxation
Therapy “in the chair” is brought to a close with
positive reinforcement.
These achievements are then confirmed and
enhanced by a delightful head massage. |

Third Consultation - A Long Life (1 hour 30 minutes)
Pseudo
Orientation (the opposite of Regression Therapy) is used
to explain what is possible and to reassure you;
inwardly confirming your attainable goals and focusing
your mind and body on the benefits of the Restful Change
Age Break Programme.
Safe,
gentle, regressive techniques can then be used to start
to awaken inner resources and strengths, allowing you to
rediscover forgotten or over-looked natural talents,
resources and abilities which can be used to help you to
move the process naturally forward.
An
initial session of Reflexology is then incorporated, to
begin the change on a more physical level. |
|
| |
|
Fourth
Consultation - Self Help and Focus (1 hour 30 minutes)
We
believe that your body deserves, and is entitled to,
more than just the sleeping time you would usually
permit it to naturally rejuvenate and repair. For this
reason the fourth consultation is used to teach you
relaxation techniques and to provide you with the tools
that you will need to be able to practise self-repose on
a daily basis. This will enable you to continue the work
we undertake together and to learn how important you
are in your every day life – important enough to take
time and space for yourself, bringing a clarity of
thought and mind, whilst, physically and emotionally
recharging and strengthening.
During
this session direct suggestions are also made to begin
the rejuvenation process from within.
You
will then experience your first facial and hand massage
as we begin to help you to rejuvenate your skin and
facial features. |

|
Fifth
Consultation - Strengthening Your Immune System (1 hour
30 minutes)
Your
immune system is, of course, central to enhancing
wellbeing and maintaining a healthy mind and body. If
you have a strong immune system and keep your body
appropriately fit, healthy and vibrant, huge strides can
be made to achieve your goals.
During
this session natural energy flows through your entire
body from head to toe, cleansing and revitalising
leaving you feeling balanced and centred.
We also
discuss diet (that is diet with a small “d”) and
exercise to a level that is appropriate and tailored to
your lifestyle.
A facial massage, head massage or reflexology session is then
incorporated as deemed appropriate in relation to the
progress you have made by this stage. |
|
| |
|
Sixth
Consultation - Youthful Body (1 hour 30 minutes)
Powerful yet completely safe and natural dissociative
techniques are now incorporated into the programme,
furthering your self confidence and self belief in your
own body and the goals you have set, from a physical
viewpoint.
Your
imagination will be fired up with the wonderful
discoveries you will find as you create a state of
regeneration in your mind, body, spirit, and
emotions. Fountain of youth techniques recharge your
cells with vibrant energy. Powerful, positive
affirmations are used to enable you to begin to feel new
sensations in your body, helping your body to turn back
the clock.
A
facial therapy is the most wonderful and appropriate way
to bring to a close this particular session. |
|
| |
|
Seventh Consultation – Youthful Mind (1 hour 30 minutes)
Body
follows mind and during this consultation regressive
techniques are utilised to capture positive and youthful
thoughts from a time gone by. We encourage both the
conscious and unconscious parts of your mind to become
more creative, spontaneous and adventurous. Thinking
like a younger person will encourage you to become
younger in spirit, to be receptive to new learnings and
potentials, more enthusiastic, energetic and positive.
As you
naturally and safely adopt these characteristics, it
will be equally natural for your body to follow suit,
feeling younger and looking younger.
A
facial massage merged with a head massage confirms the
work of this enormously empowering session. |

|
Eighth
Consultation – Confirmation of Self and Affirmation of
work in progress (2 hours)
We look
back at eight weeks of the Restful Change Age Break
Therapy and at the wonderful positive changes you have
already experienced and agree on a strategy, tailored to
your needs, goals and ambitions, to enable you to
continue the process between the monthly progress checks
to which you now commit.
These
monthly visits will further your ability to overcome the
effects of aging. Your skin will benefit from regular
“natural face-lift massage”; wrinkles can naturally
decrease as your moisturised skin heals and gently lifts
and tightens, staying supple smooth and soft.
A
session of reflexology confirms you as being centred,
balanced and ready to take full responsibility for your
programme and for your own continued wellbeing and
youthful lifestyle. |
|
| |
|
Between
sessions you are encouraged to use the self-repose techniques
which are taught as part of the treatment, thus enabling the
process to continue on a daily basis.
A
Change in Lifestyle
The work
undertaken during the first eight sessions form the foundations
for your lifestyle change and commences the Restful Change Age
Break Process. How you continue to develop the procedure after
those eight initial interventions is your choice. We will advise
you and discuss with you the various options.
This could mean
that you choose a structured series of occasional Restful Change
Age-Break Therapy sessions over a defined or open ended period
of time. There again, you may feel that more informally arranged
“top-up” sessions, to compliment your home practise and enjoyed
as required, are the way forward for you.
However you
choose to continue the process, we will be there for you in
whatever role is most suitable and appropriate to your needs.
Products
The three years
we spent in
France
developing the concepts of Restful Change and fine tuning the
techniques we use in Restful Change Age-Break Therapy were very
well spent. Not only did we find the time and space we needed to
focus, and to gain clarity of thought and vision, but we also
found ourselves in the perfect place to explore all the options
available to us by way of the very best skin care products.
We tested a
huge variety of treatments and brands, taking our time, enabling
us to be certain of our endorsement of the products we would be
happy to use in Restful Change Age-Break Therapy. Sue’s
background and knowledge of the industry, along with her
delicate skill’s in product application and massage, were
invaluable and we were finally able to decide upon
Caudalie as the most suitable product available.
The romantic
Caudalie story is said to have begun in 1993 when a young couple, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas and an eminent Professor of the
Pharmacy Faculty of Bordeaux, Professor Vercautern, combined
minds and aspirations. The professor explained that the grape
seeds that they discarded after their harvests contained a
natural elixir for the skin and by September 1995 the first
products had been launched. The basis of the Caudalie brand to
this day is still grape seed and grape vine stalks.
Caudalie’s
ethical brand development has always maintained the greatest
respect for the skin and the environment, using the most natural
formulas possible and rejecting the use of artificial colouring
or animal ingredients. No mineral oils are used in skincare
creams and the company refuses to use animal testing.
Interestingly, jars are never used to package Caudalie products,
but rather tubes, in order to preserve the purity of the active
ingredients.
In our view,
there is no better product available today.
