Pregnancy Massage

Massage can help make pregnancy more enjoyable and less painful. Massage is safe for women throughout pregnancy unless the doctor has advised against it. The benefits include improved sleep, decreased stress, decreased edema, decreased low back pain and more. A session included filling out a health form which is reviewed with your therapist to find out what you are looking for out of your session. This time is for you, to relax, let go and bond with your baby. A full body massage done in the sidelying position and/or semi-seated with multiple pillows used to make her comfortable. Only the areas you wish to be worked on will be massaged and you are draped at all times.

Myofascial Release

A gentle, whole body approach to help release tissue memory associated with many chronic illnesses. The therapist uses sustained pressure and follows and releases fascia (connective tissue) restrictions throughout the body. Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery, habitual poor posture, and repetitive stress injuries can cause changes in the fascia that affect comfort and the functioning of our body. The fascia can exert excessive pressure, producing pain or restriction of motion. This affects the body's flexibility and stablility. It is a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.

Relaxation

Usually a full body massage with oil or lotion and the use of efflurage (gliding stokes) and petrisage (kneading strokes).

Reiki

A Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

On-site Chair Massage

An on-site chair massage is a 10 to 30 minute massage, using no lotions or oils, with the person fully clothed.
The massage includes the neck, shoulders, back, and, if time permits, the arms and hands.

Ear Candling

Ear candling is a natural way to clean out accumulated wax and bacteria from the ears. The accumulations withdrawn fron your ears may be many months or even years old. It is a painless, harmless and totally relaxing experience. If it weren't for the intermittent crackling and hissing sounds due to the burning of the wax and bacteria being drawnup the chimney of the candle, you would never know that anything was happening in your ear. I also work on accupressure points and massage lymph nodes to stimulate drainage from the entire head.
