Myofascial Release Therapy [John F. Barnes Technique]: This correcting and healing massage works on the three dimensional weave of fascia [connective tissue] that spreads uninterrupted and permeates our entire body from head to toe, that lines our organs and bones, and provides shape and support for our body.

Injuries to the fascia can result from falls or accidents, inflammation, disease, surgery, scarring, repetitive stress injuries, and general stress-holding and bracing patterns.

Slow, sustained strokes are used to soften and lengthen collagen fibers, relieving pressure, pain and bone misalignment. This improves natural shock absorption in the body, re-hydrates and flushes toxins out of body tissues. MFR is a whole body treatment.

• I recommend a 1-1/2 hour session for this session.

CranioSacral Therapy [John Upledger Institute] : CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch |about 5 grams or the weight of a nickel|, hands-on method of releasing restrictions around the brain and spinal cord to enable your body to self-correct and free itself of pain and other health conditions.

CranioSacral is a natural therapy that works with the body, not against it. The central focus of this modality is the Spinal Column, Cranium [head], Sacrum [tailbone], and the Dural Tube that encases this osseous [bony|] structure and contains the cerebral spinal fluid. CranioSacral therapy addresses restrictions and dysfunction in the bones, membranes and fascia making up this system.

Since the CranioSacral system directly impacts the central nervous system, it is easy to see how an imbalance there could cause any number of sensory, motor and neurological disabilities throughout the body.

 

• I recommend a 1-1/2 hour session for this treatment.

Swedish Relaxation Massage : A meltdown massage! This foundational massage is a deeply relaxing and soothing full body massage, targeting common muscle tightness and stiffness, and everyday stress that has accumulated in the body.

I use stroking, gliding, rocking and gentle squeezing of the body's skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments--a profoundly relaxing massage! Improves circulation and elimination of toxins, improves metabolical function, and stimulates the release of oxitocin [the anti-stress hormone]. This method can include trigger point work and/or target specific body areas of your choice.

Hot Stone Massage : This specialty massage uses very smooth stones heated in a water bath. Black volcanic basalt stones are favored by professional therapists for their ability to absorb and retain heat well. Some stones are placed along the spine and other targeted areas for deep heat penetration.

Traditional massage strokes are used over larger muscles, while holding the warm stones to achieve a melting, deep muscular release. Long heat waves released by the hot stone minerals deeply penetrate the body’s tissues, stimulating a profound relaxation, significantly reducing stress, and promoting healing and a sense of well being.

Many clients consider Hot Stone Massage to be the crème de la crème of massage modalities! Try this amazing experience for yourself or give as a gift certificate to the ones you love.

Pregnancy Massage [Pre-Peri-Postnatal]: A calming and gentle massage that blends the principles of Swedish massage with Myofascial Release technique. The focus is on those muscles and bone structures that are under stress, are painful and uncomfortable during pregnancy.

The many benefits include increased flexibility and mobility, reduced tightness and pain, minimized strain, better posture, improvement of circulation and reduced edema |swelling|. Helps to facilitate an easier delivery for both mother and baby. Continued treatment after delivery speeds up your recovery time.

• Recommended after the first trimester (3 months) has passed
