Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the benefits of Massage?
A: Relaxation, stress reduction, relieves muscle tension, increases
blood and lymph circulation, which increases the exchange of nutrients
and oxygen in the tissues and organs and boosts the immune system,
increases flexibility and range of motion, promotes deeper and easier
breathing, reduces blood pressure, improves posture, releases endorphins
which help in pain relief, relieves headaches, increases body awareness, and overall it just
feels good. The benefits of an hour massage are comparable to the
benefits of an hour work-out.
Q: What are the benefits of Reiki and
Ancient Stone Healing?
A: Results vary and may include any or a combination of the
following: deep relaxation, stress reduction, relieves
muscle tension and headaches, clears toxins, aids to heal past and
current emotional, mental, and
physical distress/trauma, relieves anxiety, reduces mental chatter, increases
energy, creativity, clarity, and awareness, creates a feeling of love, inner
peace, centered-ness, promotes a good-night sleep, a sense of calm and
inner peace, and a positive outlook, as well as overall well-being.
Reiki is great pre and post surgery, as a compliment to cancer
treatments, and pre and post birth, among many other times. In
Ancient Stone Healing, hot basalt and cool marble stones are added as a
different way to bring forward balance, clarity and truth.
Q: What are the benefits of Essential oils
and what are they?
A: Essential oils are extracted from plants. They have been
around since 4000-7000 B.C. You may remember learning that frankincense
and myrrh were brought to baby Jesus when he was born. These are
two essential oils available for our use. The smell alone of each
oil affects our hypothalamus gland to decrease stress, reduce anxiety
and depression, and relax or refresh us. Essential oils are also
anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and on and on. They
affect our bodies on an emotional, mental, and physical level. I
usually get a sense of what/if any that you will need during your
session. I may use them to create scent in the room or apply them
to your neck, feet, hands, or back. Beyond the therapy session, my
clients and I have used essential oils to aid in stress reduction,
healing burns, warts, acne, eczema, PMS, and many other things. To learn more,
ask me about my aromatherapy classes where you learn about the
history, why and how to use the oils in your every day life, and how to make your own blends.
I have been teaching about oils since 2003.
Q: What are tuning forks and when/why do you
use them in a session?
A: A tuning fork is a metal, two pronged fork that when struck, vibrates
at a certain frequency. The purpose of the tuning forks that I use
is to align the energy centers in your body called Chakras. Each
fork carries a different tune that is aligned with the tune that each
chakra resonates with. I use them during massage or reiki, when I
feel the client's body is not releasing the stress it is holding onto.
As reiki is more indirect in bringing balance to the body, the tuning
forks are more direct. After using a few tuning forks at the end
of a recent session, one of my clients left saying she felt more
"tuned-up" than when she just gets a massage.

appointment or contact you?

Q: How many clients do you see in a day?
A: I limit myself to 3 or 4 clients a day so that I can be in tip-top
shape for every session so each client receives the best service that I
can give. In addition I limit how many clients I see in a week so
that I am in tip-top shape for that last client of the week.
Q: Do you get bodywork done and who do you
see?
A: Yes, I regularly receive such things as Massage, Reiki, Acupuncture,
Shamanic Healing, and Quantum Touch from friends who are in the profession. In
addition, I regularly receive massage from other therapists in the
community to keep up on trends and to learn new techniques from them.
Q: How do I learn to do what you do?
A: There are various massage schools in the state of Wisconsin and Reiki
is passed down in a lineage from a teacher like myself. Continuing
education is offered by various schools and teachers in the area.
