ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture involves the insertion of ultra thin needles at intuitively chosen points throughout the body along the meridian pathways. Through the stimulation of these points, acupuncture can treat a variety of physical, spiritual and emotional conditions by restoring normal function and balance to the various body systems (both physical and energetic). Treatments are based on Chinese medicine theory, diagnosis, and practice – a system of medicine that has been developed and practiced for over 4,000 years and has its roots in shamanism.

Your treatment will be tailored to your specific pattern and will include additional modalities such as fire cupping, moxibustion or essential oils over specific points when appropriate.

Myofascial Release uses specific techniques to stretch and repair the connective tissue between your muscles “fascia“. It helps your body heal properly from injuries and can restore range of motion.

These techniques are derived from Hellerwork, which is a gentler derivative of Rolfing.

This is deep work, with sensation. The immediate result is more freedom of movement.

“Reflexology, an integrative health practice, maps a reflection of the body predominately on the feet, hands and outer ears. It uses unique manual techniques to deliver pressure to neural pathways assisting the body to function optimally. The effectiveness of reflexology is recognized worldwide by various national health institutions and the public at large as a distinct complementary practice within the holistic health field.”  

This work results in deep relaxation, stress reduction, immune system boost and a return to homeostasis. You can have the feet, hand, face and ears, either alone or in combination of the above.

STRUCTURAL REFLEXOLOGY®

An integration of foot reflexology with anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology by using local and reflex methods to release stress and compensation in the entire body.  A session addresses tension sites on the feet as the product of local muscle and ligament strain, while maintaining an understanding of how these sites of tension on the feet will impact the rest of the body. These techniques help to restore comfort and function, which allows the bones of the foot to find their normal alignment. Once the foot muscles are able to maneuver the foot more easily, and recover the job of moving and balancing the body, compensation in the rest of the body is relieved.

Excellent for foot pain such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, and more. First session is 2 hours, follow-up sessions are 60 min.

Rates: Initial Session is 120 minutes $220 (plus tax), Follow up sessions are 60 min $110 (plus tax)

THAI ABDOMINAL MASSAGE 

A melding of Chi Nei Tsang or Taoist/Chinese abdominal massage and Thai soft abdomen massage, these techniques work to help your body heal abdominal issues. There is much confusion about food and health. We have many digestive and emotional issues surrounding and trapped in the soft abdomen, inhibiting correct function. In Thai massage we approach the body not as a machine, but as an organic structure with an energy system and an emotional system that can both change the structure and physiology of the physical organism. The focus of the massage is on detoxifying and assisting the very important digestive process. If we cannot digest effectively we will have no energy, if we cannot de-toxify we will feel irritable and uncomfortable.

We start with the top layer of the body, the skin, to detoxify it. We work into the facial layer, unblocking adhesions, facial chains and releasing scars. We work on the main muscles of the abdomen to relax them. We work on the digestive system from stomach to rectum, shifting blockages. Finally, we work the sen lines (meridians) of the abdomen (Sea of Qi), as this stimulates the body’s natural desire for optimal health.

This is deep work, with sensation. Multiple sessions are recommended.

Rates: 60 minutes $105 ~ 90 minutes $145 (plus tax)
Harmony Series: 3/60 minute sessions $300 ~ 3/90 minute sessions $405 (plus tax)
