Reiki Energetic Body Healing
Reiki in person or distant healing offered. Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy, the energy that is all around us. A method of natural healing that uses energy channeled through a practitioner's hands to restore health and a sense of well-being. Similar to massage only the client is fully clothed; the therapist will begin with the placement of hot basalt and and/or cool marble stones for thermal therapeutic energy. Chakra stones or crystals will be placed on the chakras for opening & balance. This energy accelerates and enhances all naturally occurring healing processes: it relaxes tense muscles, speeds digestion, stabilizes blood pressure and blood sugar, calms a racing pulse, stimulates the immune system, relieves pain, insomnia and depression. Be willing to let go and experience Divine Healing. Reiki assists in bringing life balance! Check out our class schedule for learning more about Reiki or become a Reiki Practitioner.

Northern Thai Massage
This is a fully clothed therapy performed on a floor mat. The receiver should wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes such as a cotton t-shirt and light cotton sweat pants or yoga pants. The practitioner uses her hands, arms, elbows, knees and feet to perform leaning pressure, reflexology acupressure working the energy lines (sen lines), Reiki energy work, assisted progressive stretching and some yoga postures. This is why Thai massage is often called "lazy person's yoga" as someone else puts them through various postures. This rhythmic and meditative therapy allows one to enter into a state of deep relaxation as well as allowing any imbalance of energy to flow through and out of the body. Most of the attention is focused on the legs. Other areas include feet, abdominal work, arms & hands, face, neck, shoulders and back. Benefits: Increased flexibility, increased energy flow & circulation, relaxing nerve constriction, lymph stimulation, improve structural balance and to facilitate the release of emotional pain or blocked energy. Please note: The receiver should stretch before the treatment, be fairly flexible and should have eaten just before the session. This therapy can be adjusted to 1 hour but it is recommended to experience the full body 90 minute therapy. -
Myofascial Release
Fascia is a tough connective tissue which spreads throughout the body in a 3 dimensional web. Myofascial Release is a hands on technique, which provides sustained pressure into restrictions to eliminate pain, headaches & restore motion as well as posture. Using cross-hand techniques or stretches, light pressure slowly stretches out the elastic component of the fascia. Soft Tissue Mobilization breaks up cross-restrictions.

This system extends from the bones of the skull (cranium) down to the sacrum. The therapist monitors the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid as it flows through the system, evaluating and opening any restrictions.

Sounds of Healing Therapy
By using vibrational sounds from crystal or Tibetan singing bowls or other sound instruments techniques, healing can be achieved by restoring the normal vibratory frequency of the disharmonious or dis-eased part of the body. When a specific sound or vibration are applied to chakras of the body, the chakra will open and balance itself forming a clear channel of energy. This can be added to your therapy or you can experience a full "sound bath" therapy. Check out our class schedule for learning more in our Sounds of Healing Workshop. -
