Massage
Swedish Relaxation Massage utilizes long, smooth strokes to stimulate the superficial muscles and the parasympathetic nervous system to bring relaxation. Can be used as a full body massage or to prepare for therapeutic massage. Specific areas can also be focused on upon request.
Rainessence Reiki Massage (aka Raindrop Technique) utilizes therapeutic grade Essential oils which are applied to the feet, along the spine, and shins to aid in balancing the central nervous system and bringing about structural and electrical alignment. It is believed that spinal curvature, sciatica, and chronic back pain could be caused from inflammation created from viruses or bacteria that are laying dormant in the spinal column. The properties of these oils help to curb viruses, bacteria, and inflammation. The oils continue to work for 5-7 days. A Hot Towel application to the back and Energy balancing techniques are also utilized. Hot Stones and Reiki may also be used.
Hot Stone Massage uses hot basalt rocks to penetrate deep into the muscles for a soothing and therapeutic experience. This therapy can be done as a relaxation massage or as a deep tissue massage. In some sessions, hot basalt and and/or cool marble stones may be placed under, on top or around you to aid in bringing a deeper state of balance and well-being.
Therapeutic Massage utilizes a combination of Neuromuscular Therapy for the upper body, Myofascial release (stretching of the fascia which connects skin to muscle), and stretching to help loosen muscles and increase range of motion in such areas as shoulders, hips, and neck. This type of massage use to be thought of as deep tissue; however, the techniques used may have a greater and more lasting impact than the pressure. The depth of pressure used will be at the massage therapists comfort level.
Lymphatic Massage works with the lymphatic system of the body. It utilizes smooth, light strokes on the front of the body to stimulate the flow of the lymphatic system. This massage is a great massage to help prevent illness.
Chair Massage is a great quick massage for relaxation, convenient for times like your lunch break or on your way home from work. You remain fully clothed and sit in a specially designed massage chair. The back and neck are the main focus of this massage; however the arms, legs, feet and hands can also be done. This massage can be done in my office or at your office. Many employers offer chair massage as a health benefit or reward for their employees.
Bodywork
Reiki (Ray-key) is a Japanese term meaning Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki helps to increase the life force that is in and around all of us, thus bringing balance to the chakra and meridian system in our bodies. This life force is what keeps us healthy, our heart beating, and free of physical, emotional, and spiritual dis-ease. Reiki is a laying on of hands therapy, facilitated with the client fully clothed lying on a massage table. Overall, Reiki helps to create balance and create a deep sense of well-being. It is a great compliment to massage. To learn more about medical research related to Reiki, go to www.reikimedresearch.org. To learn more about Reiki overall, go to www.geocities.com/reikiwi.

(Series of 3 Reiki treatments received over 7 days for only $135 - this is the best way to receive the best results; Series of 3 over 3 weeks for only $150)
Ancient Stone Healing uses the healing and therapeutic benefits of hot basalt stones/masculine energy and cool marble stones/feminine energy to bring about balance, purpose, and truth. As you lay on the stones fully clothed, Reiki is also applied. After this therapy clients say they feel balanced, grounded, and/or energized. I have noticed answers to decisions I am making become very clear within a few days after using this technique for my own health and healing.
Emotional Freedom Technique is a tapping technique utilizing acupuncture meridian points. This technique is used to adjust imbalances in the body when other techniques do not appear effective. I have seen results with EFT on the emotional, physical, and mental levels, including relieving symptoms of past trauma, neck pain, headaches, etc. For more information or to teach yourself, go to www.emofree.com.
Tuning Fork Chakra Balancing Therapy is utilized to balance 7 major and 5 minor chakras. The benefits of this therapy include: decreased mental chatter, deep relaxation, decreased physical pain, overall balance of body, mind, and emotions. (If this therapy is done alone, it is a 40 min session for $40)
Toning is a technique I utilize where I use my voice to tone things like AA or EE which I find help shift stuck energy and stress. Often, there is a deeper sense of peace after the toning is finished. This may last approximately 1-10 minutes during a session. For more info check out http://www.boblusk.net/_wsn/page5.html.
**Prenatal Massage is also available upon request.**
