These forms of healing include hands on & hands off the body techniques.
We incorporate multiple modalities to address the client's individual needs.
Deeply relaxing and profoundly healing, especially useful for calming the mind and balancing all areas of the subtle energetic & physical bodies.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is an ancient technique dating back 5000 years as practiced by the Hindus in India . Smooth stones, which have been heated to a safe temperature, are used as an extension of the hand, allowing for a comforting weight, smooth movement, and warmth.
Hot stones relax and soften muscles, making it easier to massage deeply into tight tissues, providing greater pain relief and relaxation.
Shiatsu Acupressure Massage
Shiatsu is a Japanese massage practice applying therapeutic pressure on acupoints of the body, such as those along the sides of the spine. This stimulates the movement of vital chi within the body and promotes healing & relaxation.
Warm Bamboo Stick Massage
Massage using heated smooth bamboo sticks is relaxing and therapeutic. Particularly useful for deep tissue massage, the warm sticks allow the massage therapist to apply greater pressure with less effort. As with Hot Stones, the heat relaxes the muscles and allows for deeper tissue work and relaxation.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic practice.
A small round suction cup is placed on the skin. The suction separates the tissues & increases circulation, reducing pain & stagnation and promoting blood flow & healing.
We use both pneumatic & silicone cups.
Reflexology
In Reflexology, the hands and feet reflect the entire body as a microcosm. By massaging these reflex areas, the therapist is able to stimulate healing for the corresponding area of the body.
Reflexology can stimulate nerve function, increase energy, boost circulation, induce a state of deep relaxation, and eliminate toxins from the body.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial Rejuvenation can include massage, acupressure & acupuncture to stimulate healing and regeneration. Increased circulation enhances youthful appearance.
Craniosacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a protocol involving the primary respiratory mechanism which is comprised of the brain, spinal cord, sacrum, and the tissues & fluids found within the dural tube. The body is brought into alignment with gentle touch, steady traction and gentle rotations to free and enhance the production and reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid.
This primary respiration is known as the Breath of Life and is the basis of all other rhythms of the body.
Essential Oils
Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are a purely condensed embodiment of the healing properties of Plants. Small molecular size allows for quick penetration of the skin into cells. They are lipid soluble and can effect every cell of the body within 20 minutes.
