Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage is the process of applying various manual (hand) techniques to muscles and connective tissue in order to enhance the function of those tissues and promote relaxation and well-being.  These techniques include kneading, tapping, compression, vibration, rocking, and friction. Therapeutic massage can ease tension and reduce pain. Massage can be a part of physical therapy or practiced on its own. It can also be highly effective for reducing the symptoms of arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other disorders of the muscles and/or nervous system.

Swedish Massage is the type of massage most frequently thought of when people are looking for a soothing treatment of relaxation. Our approach combines the long flowing strokes of classic Swedish Massage and kneading to induce relaxation, enhance circulation, and melt away stress.  The practitioner remains present and focused during the massage session.  In addition, communication with the client helps to determine adjustments in pressure,  areas of focus, and duration of treatment. This approach maximizes our ability to facilitate a healing environment for the well-being of our clients. 

  Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient healing art that focuses on areas of the feet which correspond to all parts of the body.  There are ten zones in the body, starting at the 10 toes, and traveling vertically up the body to the top of the head, and out to the 10 fingers.  If anything within a zone is stimulated, injured or affected, it can have an affect on any other organ or body system within that zone.  By touching the Reflex Zones on the feet, the nerve ending transfers that touch (that energy) to travel up the zone through nerve impulses and energetic pathways to bring corresponding areas of the body within that zone into balance.  Reflexology  helps a person to be in a relaxed state, which will allow them to connect with their own body’s natural healing power.  Science has shown that touch alone can trigger endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, to be circulated throughout the body creating a relaxation response.  For some, Reflexology  is an invaluable tool for relaxation and exploring the self.

Reflexology is a wonderful tool to facilitate healing.  Many clients reach at least the alpha brain wave state.  It is this level of relaxation, similar to REM sleep, at which the central nervous system makes its critical adjustments for the body's healthy function.  When in a relaxed state, the body naturally knows what it needs to do to restore its own balance.  Reflexology aids in this process.

Hot Stones Massage

A deeply healing, personal experience for those in the healing process or ready to "go within". Let the heat of the stones penetrate your muscles and joints, allowing long-residing tensions to melt away effortlessly. The stones are always checked by you to ensure your temperature comfort...then soak up the benefits of healing from a place of tranquility and comfort. (Session is 90 minutes)

Ear Coning

Ear coning dates back to ancient times.  The spiral of the cone and the herbal smoke in the ear canal work together to draw out physical and emotional debris into the cone.  Ear coning may help with headaches, migraines, congestion, earaches, respiratory congestion, mucus deposits, inflammation, yeast, sinusitis and/or congestion caused by allergies.  This is non-invasive and very relaxing.

 

Reiki

Reiki helps balance the body on an energetic level.  Ancient Eastern cultures have worked with the seven energy centers (chakras) in the body, allowing healing energy to flow to these areas in order to bring a person back to a balanced, healthy state.  There is Universal Life Force (Chi, Ki, Qi, or Prana) that flows through all of us.  When our chakras are balanced and healthy, Chi flows naturally, and we feel great peace, vitality, and harmony within ourselves.  The client is fully clothed for the session and the practitioner places his or her hands just over or on the client, with the intention of being a conduit; letting the Chi flow into or through the areas in which the client needs balancing.  

 
 
Facials/Skin Care 

The major health benefits of regular skin care (including facials) are regulation of the immune system, detoxification, reduction in fluid build-up, exfoliation, and stress relief. These sessions may incorporate lymphatic drainage, exfoliation treatments, acupressure, and aromatherapy.  Skin care sessions are designed to enhance a sense of rejuvenation and renewal.
