"There is but one temple in the Universe... and that is the human body. Nothing is holier than that high form. We touch heaven when we lay our hand upon the human body."

Therapeutic Massage Techniques
These may be used alone or combined with others.

Lymphatic Drainage  Uses gentle movements to aid the body in reducing areas of stagnation in the lymphatic system, which helps detoxify the body. This process improves the immune system as well as the function of other organs and body systems. It also reduces inflammation, swelling, and scar tissue.

CranioSacral  Light touch which detects and releases imbalances and relieves undue pressure on the craniosacral system (brain and spinal cord area). Her focused studies have had an emphasis on the immune system.

Brain Therapy  Helps brain and spinal-related pathologies including closed-head injury, whiplash, headaches, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, cognitive behavioral dysfunctions, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, post-meningitis syndrome, post-polio syndromes, birth issues or trauma, and feeding issues.

Myofascial Release  Alleviates the adverse effects of inflammation, tension, and trauma by releasing the adhesions within the body’s connective tissue allowing unrestricted movement and relaxation..

Swedish Massage  Uses long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, and tapping motions. This treatment helps heal many ailments by positively affecting the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation.

Deep Tissue Massage  Uses compression and friction to reach the deep portions of thick muscles in order to release toxins and tension.

Reflexology  An acupressure-type technique that is performed on the hands and feet. Stimulating the reflex point encourages healing of the related organ.

Reiki  Uses healing energy to balance the seven chakras (an elaborate, subtle energy system). Relieves pain, restores vitality, and aids in spiritual growth.

NeuroMuscular Therapy A specific trigger-point therapy used to treat acute and chronic neuro-muscular pain. It helps maintain the health and tone of muscle tissue and reduces spasms. It also improves blood and lymph flow, which nourishes tissues.

Aromatherapy  Specially selected essential oils used in massage for curative and rejuvenating effects.
