Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones transfer heat to your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.

Deep Relaxation offers a full body Swedish or Therapeutic massage applied with hot stones to the core and extremities.  The added heat provides several therapeutic benefits by increasing blood flow and tissue temperature. These effects help relax muscles, reduce pain, and improve tissue healing. Heat therapy is commonly used for conditions like muscle aches, joint stiffness, and back pain. Warming the body core, sends blood to the extremities influencing the parasympathetic nervous system to rest and digest. Add options of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils such as Bliss, Lavender, Peace and Calming, Release, or others for the most extraordinary
sense of Letting Go.

The only thing you have to do is REMEMBER THE FEELING

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

Energy Work

Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow.

Multiple modalities fall under the umbrella of "Energy work" such as  Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Eden Method, Traditional Chinese Medicine-Five Element Theory,  EFT-Emotional Freedom Technique, and the Emotion Code.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
