Swedish Massage

This technique of massage focuses on promoting a sense of relaxation throughout the body. Light, soothing strokes are applied to encourage a feeling of calm and improve circulation. Swedish Massage relieves tension in the superficial tissues of the body to decrease stress and improve overall healing.

Deep Tissue Massage

When we experience stress, or sustain an injury, the body literally holds some aspect of this in the form of muscular tension, and frequently, discomfort or pain. This can lead to headaches, disease, or injury. Deep Tissue Massage helps to relieve this muscular tension by accessing deeper layers of muscle tissue and encouraging relaxation, improving circulation, and relieving muscular pain. Strokes are tailored to meet the needs of the client during each session to facilitate the release of muscle tissue and to improve range of motion.

Abhyanga

Abhyanga is an ancient Indian Ayurvedic warm oil massage therapy for healing and detoxifying Body, Mind and Spirit.  This ayurvedic detox and stress reduction therapy is performed with herbal oils.  A variety of Ayurvedic techniques are applied to work along the energy channels of your body in a synchronized manner to restore the flow of vital energy where it has become blocked. Lymphatic stimulation with ayurvedic herbal oils help squeeze out toxic accumulation from channels. Therefore, it is a DETOXIFYING massage. Abhyanga oil massage initiates deep healing within cells. This is why it is one of the most popular therapy in Ayurvedic bodywork treatments.

Things to be aware of:
– You will get oil in your hair
– If you are female, you should not have this treatment during your period, as it is highly detoxifying.
– You should not have make up on, or should remove it before the treatment.
– Traditionally this treatment is done with minimal draping.  You are welcome to request more conventional draping.
– The oil will get all over your body, so you may want to shower afterwards (showers are provided at the studio).
– If you don’t shower, please wear clothes that you wouldn’t mind if they got stained, and you may want to bring something to cover your head afterwards.
– Stay hydrated, both before and after the treatment.

Energy Clearing

This short light-touch session is intended to refresh the subtle bodies and clear the energy centers of emotional debris. Sometimes it can feel as if we’ve been “slimed” by negative energy around us and need to be rinsed off from all the accumulated stress of life. This session provides loving energetic touch, gentle massage, and vibrational bodywork while the client relaxes fully clothed on the table. This can also be added to an Akashic Reading or at the end of a massage appointment.

Akashic Records Reading

Consulting your personal Akashic material is a great reference guide when you’re remodeling even the smallest area of stubborn resistance within the big picture of your life. Your part of the Akashic Records is like a do-it-yourself encyclopedia intended to assist the planning of your experience through time with more clarity. If old issues are holding you back from the actions you must take to solve problems, it might be good to construct a new frame of mind. Accessing your Akashic Records presents an investigative look into the ways you could be experiencing life with more ease and confidence.

After a session, you can expect a greater trust in your intuitive guidance and a more defined approach toward your life goals. Some common reasons to consult the Akashic Records would be when you find yourself repeating old patterns, dealing with the same recurring problems, feeling creatively stagnant and uninspired, or when you find yourself highly motivated yet unsure of your next steps forward.

Tuning Forks Energy Work

During this session, the Solfeggio, Schumann Resonance, Fibonacci Sequence and Om frequencies of unweighted and weighted tuning forks are used to cleanse, re-calibrate, replenish and ground the energy body (e.g. chakras, biofield, etc.). Unweighted forks are also used to retrieve the client’s energy (from the past, future, situations, relationships, etc.) and re-integrate them to their energy body. The session also includes other hands-on and hands-off energy work (Reiki, Violet Flame, White Light, singing bowls, crystals, aromatherapy). The client, who is fully clothed on the table, may not only experience the session’s effects during the session itself but also in the days following the treatment. The client is encouraged to set their own intentions for the session and, subsequently, relax and allow their energies to enjoy the full benefits of the therapy.

Lomi Lomi – Temple Style (with Aleksandra)

Hawaiian Temple Style Lomi Lomi is a transformational bodywork experience that invokes the healing power of the ocean through slow, rhythmic, fluid touch. Soothing body and mind like gentle waves on the shore, Lomi is a healing ritual, with its roots in indigenous spirituality. It is believed that healing occurs when the elements of earth, wind, fire and water are balanced together in the body. This work is both gentle and deep, like water, working it’s way into the myofascial layers, promoting lymphatic drainage and treating the body as a whole, rather than separate limbs and parts. Encouragement to breathe deeply throughout the session calms down the fight or flight response, allowing the body’s natural self-healing system to take over. Many people report a sensation of buoyancy and upliftment that lasts for days or even weeks after a session. It is said that there are as many styles of Lomi Lomi as there are Hawaiian families, because traditionally each family or ‘ohana had their own healer. The Temple Style lineage originates from the Island of Kauai and was once the healing practice for the Ali’i or Kings and Queens of the Islands, who were believed to be direct descendents of the Gods. The modern expression of this practice honors each individual who comes to the table as a divine, noble being, worthy of wholeness.

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

Himalayan Salt Stone description: During the Swedish massage, warm Himalayan salt stones are used to apply pressure where the minerals are absorbed through the skin. The effect is a profound sense of well-being. These stones are known to help lower blood pressure, boost bone health, prevent muscle cramps, improve circulation, relieve anxiety and gently exfoliate the skin.
