Our goal is
to bring balance to your
body
by restoring the natural flexibility of the muscles
that you use everyday. Through massage we can help you in a variety of ways with
our extensive range of training and special abilities.
Swedish massage is
the basis for all of our sessions. This basically works with stretching the
muscle fibers in a gentle and soothing fashion to relieve tension and restore
flexibility in movement and activity.
Trigger point
massage
works most effectively to release tension in a
specific muscle that is in spasm or constant tension due to overuse, repetitive
use, or accidental injury. Trigger point therapy is incorporated into most of
our deep tissue sessions as the need arises or when you describe specific areas
in which you want to relieve ongoing pain.
Deep tissue work is available for chronically sore muscles. This
generally incorporates assisted isolated stretching of the specific muscle or
group of muscles, and usually extra attention to the attachment areas of the
muscle structure.
Myofascial
Tissue Release
can unlock old stored patterns of pain. Muscles are
wrapped in bundles of tissue called fascia which can be up to 20 times stronger
than the muscle tissue itself. Your fascia can store patterns from injury, abuse
or stress. These stored patterns can be released through gentle physical soft
tissue manipulation, which can provide a profound freeing experience.
Reflexology
works with patterns in the feet and hands that
correspond to other areas all over the body. Working with the reflexology points
can relieve pain in other areas of the body. If you like having your feet
rubbed, you may wish to request some reflexology with your massage package.
Aromatherapy
work with essential oils is also available as part
of our Spa Work package.
Reiki
is a form of energy work that works more with the aura or
blueprint around the body to balance the energy structure in which we reside. We
are certified masters and teachers of Reiki.
Chi Gong
is another form of
energy work, oriental in origin, that also works with the energy body to bring
balance to stressed areas.
Soundwork
involves the use of bells, chimes, drums, tuning
forks, vocal toning and crystal bowls to work with your energy body. This is
very soothing and relaxing and can be incorporated into your Spa Work Massage.
Global
healing techniques
have been shared with us in our
multi-faceted training from Peruvian Shamans, Hawaiian healers, Aboriginal
tribesman and Oriental masters. We have a background in Feng Shui, the Chinese
Art of Placement, and can counsel you on your environmental influences as well.
