Swedish Massage

A nourishing and healthy way to experience relief from everyday soreness, tightness, headaches & stress. A typical session consists of a relaxation massage designed to calm the body & mind with slow, deep, long strokes, gentle rocking & peaceful music.

Deep Tissue

In the areas of greatest tension, we will integrate deeper tissue techniques designed to free stuck energy & holding, opening the body to a more healthy & balanced state of being.

Reiki

A hands on healing modality that promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress, and can help relieve chronic pain. Over time it helps bring balance into one's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. Reiki energy is channeled through the practitioner for the client's highest good uniquely in each session, bringing the results a person needs that day. The client may feel warmth, coolness, tingling, or nothing at all as the energy is moving through them, however the energy vibrations are working regardless of what one feels. While the practitioner uses hand placements for optimal results, the Reiki energy always flows to the areas of greatest need so the person can be assured of receiving an energetic healing that is for their highest physical and mental good.

CranioSacral Therapy

Focuses on profoundly listening to the body through gentle hands-on touch. It works by identifying and releasing the areas of the body that are holding stress and/or trauma, supporting your body's innate ability to heal itself. The practitioner gently works with the spine, skull and cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. In this way, the restriction of nerve passages are eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is optimized, and misaligned bones are restored to their proper position. The work is performed on a person fully clothed and healing occurs on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.
