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. I may also use singing bowls to assist with restoring the nervous system state through the use of sound.
Reiki/Massage Combo
Through the Reiki/Massage combo session we will focus on calming the nervous system and any energy imbalances, along with any muscular issues. This massage keeps a calm atmosphere and flow to assist with any stress and anxiety. Massage work on trigger points or muscle tension will be at an even pace, taking time to not overstimulate the nervous system.
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 surgery, injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness. A 60 minute session will concentrate on the major areas of the lymphatic system along the front side of the body, a 90 minute will include the back side of the body.
*Please note, some pre-existing conditions may require clearance from your physician prior to your initial session.
Therapeutic Massage
A therapeutic massage session will be tailored to your specific needs. We will discuss areas of concern to target, pressure, and what tools may be beneficial to incorporate. A 30 minute session is good for focusing on an individual issue (ex. shoulder pain) or 1/2 of the body (ex. upper or lower body). A 60 or 90 minutes offer more time to give a complete "tune up" while also working on any issues present.
Stress & Anxiety Management
A stress & anxiety management session is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. Using light to moderate pressure combined with a soothing frequency and peaceful atmosphere, this massage targets calming the nervous system and restoring a sense of peace. 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, and overall general wellness.
Scar Tissue
Scar tissue massage can be a great help to improve mobility, pliability of tissues, circulation, smoothing granulated areas and reduction of pain to areas post surgery. A combination of techniques will be used to slowly work through scar tissue layer by layer. Lymphatic drainage to the area may also be done to reduce any fluid retention.
*Please note, you must be at least 7 weeks post-op in order for us to work on scar tissue. Some procedures may require clearance from your surgeon prior to your first session. While it is ideal to work on scar tissue closer to the 7 week mark of surgery or injury, improvements have been seen with scars of any time length.
