Therapeutic Hot
Stone Massage
Let my warm smooth, fragrant oiled stones
massage your
tight muscles (yes, I actually do massage your tight muscles with warm,
fragrant, oiled stones) to relieve tension and/or pain. Hot (and sometimes
cool) stones are wonderful for muscle therapy, stiff and sore muscles as
well as many conditions of pain & stress such as
~ Fibromyalgia
~ High Stress
~ Arthritis
~ Muscle Cramps
~ Headaches
~ Carpal Tunnel Pain
~ Neck & Shoulder Pain & Tension
~ Back Pain
~ Shin
Splints
~ Runners Cramps
~ Sciatica Pain
~ Leg and Foot Pain
~ Leg Cramps
~ Plantar
Fasciitis
~ And many other painful conditions.
Each session is always customized to your
needs and comfort level. The pressure can be as deep or light as feels
good to you. It is never painful, but sometimes 'hurts so good'. The
temperature of the stones can range from very warm (soothing and relaxing)
to cool (refreshing and revitalizing) or a combination of the two
depending on your needs.
In all sessions, I integrate a variety of techniques based on the root
teachings of therapeutic massage, heat/cold therapy, anatomy, physiology,
therapeutic essential oils,
acupressure, aromatherapy, Trager therapy,
holistic healing and energy work.
Hot Stone Massage is excellent for deep
relaxation, stress release and pain relief. Great therapy for headaches,
tension in head & neck, a great gift for someone who sits at a computer
all day! Totally wonderful, blissful!
Experience Deep Relaxation or Pain
Relief with this unique massage with therapeutic hot
(& sometimes, cool) stones!
Hot Stone Reflexology Therapy
Reflexology - a holistic, natural and safe therapy with no side effects.
Specific reflex points of the feet or hands connect to all the organs,
glands and systems of the body (similar to the points in acupressure).
Massage of those points helps stimulate & energize the entire body,
feels
great, and assists the circulation – great for anyone who is on their feet
all day, or computer users, anyone who uses their hands all day!
Reflexology and massage causes your body to release chemicals called
endorphins, which are called the “feel good” hormones. Hot Stone
Reflexology --- a unique blend of reflexology and hot stone therapy. Each
session is customized for your needs and can be legs & feet, hands & feet
or hands, wrists and arms.
In all sessions, I integrate a variety of techniques based on the root
teachings of therapeutic massage, heat/cold therapy, anatomy, physiology,
therapeutic essential oils,
acupressure, aromatherapy, Trager therapy,
holistic healing and energy work.

Phenomenal Touch®
is both a
philosophy and a variety of massage techniques.
The
Institute of Phenomenal Touch
was founded by Leslie Bruder in Boulder, Co. These techniques are
based on the root teachings of therapeutic massage,
heat/cold therapy, acupressure, Trager therapy,
anatomy, physiology, Thai Massage, Watsu, Qi Gong, Barefoot Shiatsu,
holistic healing, energy work and a reverent spiritual practice.
These unique methods are very flowing and work the body in a 3-Dimensional
way using gravity, creating space and fulcrums. The philosophy of
Phenomenal Touch is based on many principles including reverence and
honoring the whole person. The philosophy of Phenomenal Touch is the basis
for all of my massage and bodywork sessions from chair massage to
Ah-Shiatsu
Massage.
Ah-Shiatsu Therapy
Do You Like Medium or Deep - Tissue
Massage? Then you’ll LOVE Ah-Shiatsu
Barefoot Massage.
Barefoot Shiatsu Therapy has been practiced in Asia
for over 3,000 years. It is effective, safe and restorative at a
deep level. This
technique combines specific pressure point therapy with
therapeutic medium to deep tissue work to ease out knots and relieve deep
muscle tension - great for sore muscles or just because it feels so good!
Ah-Shiatsu is done on a comfy floor mat with no lotion or oil. You wear
comfortable clothes (t-shirt & sweat pants - no jeans, fitted pants or
button shirts). Great Gift Idea!
Deep Tissue
– Neuromuscular (NMT) Massage
for pain
relief. Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a special deep tissue massage
technique to help relieve pain. Although Neuromuscular Therapy works at a
deep level to relieve tightness, tension and pain in muscles it is NOT
painful, but sometimes "hurts so good". Chronic muscle tightness and
tension can sometimes cause compression of nerves which can cause
"shooting pain" down the arm, leg or hip.
Neuromuscular
Therapy (NMT) is a specialized technique of deep tissue massage that can
help relieve chronic muscle pain. Muscular pain is often caused by
repetitive tasks like working at a computer or strenuous activities like
gardening, working out at the gym, sports, skiing, hiking or biking.
Recent studies show that Therapeutic Massage has been proven by
researchers to be more effective than both chiropractic and acupuncture in
relieving back pain.
NMT works by
“re-setting” the muscle tendons and fibers to the correct size and
elasticity, and also releasing the lactic acid and toxins that cause
painful knots. If you have headaches or back pain caused by stress and
tension you can benefit from NMT Therapy. This type of massage is NOT
painful but very beneficial. My clients range from teenagers to age 83! I
invite you to try it & you too can get relief from chronic pain!
This can be added to your Hot Stone, Reflexology or Ah-Shiatsu Session at
no charge.
Vibrational Sound Therapy
- With Tibetan
Singing Bowls and Therapeutic Essential Oils
Sacred
Singing Bowls have been used by Tibetan Monks for many thousands of years
for Vibrational
Healing, removing energy blockages and aligning the Chakras, stress
reduction, balancing the energy and opening the Heart. These sacred bowls
were hand made by monks with the traditional combination of seven sacred
metals - each metal used for a very specific Vibrational purpose.
The effect of sound on the mind and body has been known for centuries in
many native cultures and has been scientifically documented in modern
times. We know that sound actually changes the vibrations of your
cells and so influences the vibration of the whole body, not only on the
biological level but the emotional, mental and Spiritual level as well..
Try it! You will feel deeply relaxed, re-energized and revitalized.
Amazing!
EssenceWork
Developed by Lania
Desmond, EssenceWork is a
physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing technique that gently
resolves deeply rooted emotional issues.
Directed by your Higher Self, this
process energetically targets and releases unfavorable aspects hidden from
your conscious mind. These aspects are genetically encoded within issues and
are what hold stubborn issues in place. Results often unfold easily and
gently without any effort on your part. This time-proven process acts as a
catalyst for change.
During an EssenceWork session, areas of imbalance are resolved, so stubborn
issues can gently and naturally fall away. This work is ideal for people
who have been unable to overcome a problem no matter what they have done.
This modality also works very well for children and is easy for them to
experience.
As this process is distance energy
work, there is no need for you to be present in the office at the time of
the session.
EssenceWork assists a
person to:
-
Abandon Negative Patterns
-
Overcome Depression
-
Release Stress and Anxiety
-
Enhance Your Health and Well-being
-
Experience Peace of Mind
-
Enjoy Balance and Harmony

Vibrational Healing
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches
every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard
not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason
sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and
transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress
imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a
positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.”
—Dr. Mitchell Gaynor,
director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Cornell
Cancer Prevention Center in New York City
Reiki
Energy Work
Experience Energy Balancing by
a Reiki Master
Science tells us that each living being has an electromagnetic field
resonating at a certain frequency. When our frequency is out of balance
from stress or another reason, pain or illness can result.
Reiki (pronounced
ray-kee) is an ancient Japanese system of energy work to restore balance
and increase vital energy to the body. This energy has been called Chi
(China) Ki (Japan) or Prana (India). Reiki reduces stress, promotes
relaxation and
healing on all levels - mind, body and spirit. Reiki can help energize and
balance the body and clear energy blockages that can cause physical or
emotional
distress.
The benefits of
Reiki include:
* Strengthening the immune system
* Relaxation
* Stress relief
* Expanded feelings of well-being
* Feeling balanced and grounded, instead of scattered or ‘spacey’ |
