Revitalize
body, mind, and spirit with one or more soul soothing modalities.
Traditional
Swedish Massage With Passive Joint Movement
Long, firm strokes using kneading and friction
combined with active and passive movements of the joints. Promotes general
relaxation. Relieves muscle tension. Excellent for first time massage
clients.
Jin Shin Accupressure
An
ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. Acupressure
is similar to acupuncture, but uses the gentle, firm pressure of hands
(and feet in some techniques). Using the power and sensitivity of the
human hand, acupressure is especially effective in the relief of tension-related
ailments, in self-treatment, and in preventive health care.
Reflexology
The use of specific touch techniques applied to maps closely resembling
the shape of the human body found on the feet, hands and ears. Using
gentle yet firm pressure with fingers and thumbs, balance and harmony
can be restored to the body so that it can in turn heal itself. Although
reflexology can be applied as a separate modality, massage therapy and
reflexology historically complement each other. Massage therapists find
that by reflexing feet, hands, and ears for many musculoskeletal problems,
such as neck, lower back and sciatic discomforts, the massage therapy
session is almost invariably more effective, rewarding and successful.
Reiki Energy Work
A simple, effective and gentle method of channeling healing energy
through our hands. It is used to allow the client to draw the energy
needed for his or her own healing through the practitioner. Reiki promotes
balance on the physical, mental and emotional levels, bringing harmony
to all areas of our lives. It integrates well with all types of body
and massage work.
Deep Tissue Massage
Techniques for release of stress-induced tensions
that can result in systemic imbalances. The practitioner uses palms,
forearms, and elbows, stretching and breathing techniques while the
client is lying in side, prone and supine positions. Emphasis is on
body mechanics, the use of Ki, and the quality of touch to balance meridian
pathways and restore harmony to the system.
Shiatsu Massage
An Oriental-based system of finger pressure
massage that treats special points along acupuncture "meridians", the
invisible channels of energy flow in the body. Blocked energy along
these meridians can cause physical discomfort so the aim is to release
the blocks and rebalance the natural flow.
Nutrition Consultation
Help with understanding what constitutes a
healthy diet, macro and micro nutrition, simple and complex carbohydrates,
fat, and protein. I also can give you information on the basics of herbs
and vitamins to empower you to make decisions that will optimize your
health.
