Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
All sickness and all disease is caused by an energy imbalance or blockage in the body. The human body has powerful natural healing abilities and once we are healed on the energy level our physical healing will follow. Using an Otto 128 C tuning fork, a planetary tuning fork set, and a sixteen inch crystal singing bowl tuned to the note of B, I have arranged my own vibroacoustic healing session. The session will begin by allowing your body to become more receptive which I accomplish through a light Reiki hold. Next I will introduce the Otto 128 C tuning fork which balances the autonomic nervous system and signals a natural release of nitric oxide, antibacterials, antivirals, and free radicals on a microcellular level. Accessing the body's energy centers, the eight planetary tuning forks loosen up any imbalance or blockage which is then released with the tone of the crystal singing bowl. These tuning forks hold the vibration of the planets in our solar system calculated using the octave formula, (f (frequency) x 2n(= doubled n times), and they are powerful tools to get the universal energies flowing in your life. Incorporating this with massage, the tuning forks are played at the beginning, over the front of the body, and again at the end over the back, with the crystal singing bowl completing each set. To better understand why a crystal bowl is an effective tool we must understand resonance. To illustrate the principle of resonance, if someone strikes a tuning fork near a piano, the string on the piano that corresponds to the same note as the tuning fork will vibrate even though the piano key was not struck. It should also be noted that water is a liquid crystal and that the human body is more than 60 percent water. Blood is 92 percent water, the brain and muscles are 75 percent water, and bones are about 22 percent water. So in this line of thinking, a crystal tone will affect us more than a metal tuning fork would. The crystal bowl also allows for prolonged tones that have the power to shift our brain waves very quickly to states achieved in deep meditation.
I have arranged this vibroacoustic healing session to be a quick and effective tune up for the body that can be experienced by everyone. You may experience a subtle to a profound shift in your state of being after the session. If any of this resonates with you I would very much like to introduce you to the healing power of sound and massage.
