CRANIO SACRAL
Craniosacral therapy is a method of bodywork which utilizes the cerebrospinal fluid of the central nervous system which protects and surrounds the brain and spinal cord. This gentle therapy helps to balance the rhythms of the cerebral-spinal pulse and treat numerous ailments and body dysfunction. The practitioner will apply less than 5 grams of pressure to help release any restrictions in the body returning the cranial rhythms to a balance state. This technique can be used for a variety of medical problems associated with pain and discomfort.
REFLEXOLOGY
This technique involves manipulation of specific points in the foot that correspond to many different parts of the body. This involves the application of pressure in specific areas while using the body's natural energy flow to stimulate different organs creating overall balance and optimal health. Reflexology is used to reduce stress, increase relaxation, and circulate lymph and blood to naturally flush any unwanted toxins in the body.
MYOFACIAL RELEASE
Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The fascia (connective tissue) is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia (connective tissue) is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein as well as all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. It is actually one structure that exists from head to foot without interruption. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater.The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual, and to treat clients in a more holistic approach in order to help resolve pain and imbalance.
THAI MASSAGE
This bodywork technique combines yoga and massage. Performed on a mat, the therapist provides invigorating stretching and acupressure to the body's meridian points or energy lines to open up the body and mind and to connect it with the spirit. The practitioner will use her own body-weight for compression and stretching to stimulate and produce specific internal and external effects. This allows the client to release any blockages or unwanted energies creating flow of energy in the body./p>

ACUPUNCTURE
A fascinating and highly effective three-thousand-yearold science of health and balance through pressure point therapy, nerve channel clearing and herbal remedies. Acupuncture is based on the idea that health is maintained when our qi, or energy, is balanced. Qi circulates in our bodies through pathways called meridians, and these meridians correspond to our internal organ system. Acupuncture addresses illness by first determining where the imbalance lies through pulse and tongue readings as well as a health history. The goal is to then unblock stuck or stagnant energy, bringing the system back into balance.
INTUITIVE READINGS
An intuitive reading is as healing as any of our other bodywork offerings. Our readers can provide insight and clarity into some of your life’s challenges and goals. They can see the influences and causes of what is effecting you now, but are not inclined to tell you the future, per se, but rather illuminate aspects of the present to allow you to make your own life decisions. This session will leave you feeling refreshed and refueled for your life’s journey.
