Therapies

Massage has existed for thousands of years, from the Greeks, Romans, Chinese and Egyptians touch has been a universal way to relax the body and relieve pain. Since its beginnings, many different forms of massage have developed, each offering its own style, but studies have shown that regardless of what type of massage you select the benefits are many. The physiological and psychological changes can include increased circulation, reduce muscle spasms and cramping, remove toxins and waste product build up in the muscle tissue, pain relief, lower blood pressure and heart rate and help to relax and reduce stress. Clients may select an unscented oil, or lavender, geranium, patchouli or peppermint scented oil with no additional charge.

Hot Stone Massage:

This is a very relaxing and detoxifying massage. Basalt stones are heated to temperatures between 125-140 degrees and placed on the body in various locations, such as along the spine. The warm stones encourage the exchange of blood and lymph while providing soothing heat to muscle tissue. The therapist will also use the warmed stones as an extension of her hands, moving them along the body.

Rejuvenating Lymphatic Face/Neck Massage:

Lymphatic drainage massage uses a slow, precise, rhythmic and very gentle touch to stimulate the movement of lymph, which runs just beneath the skin. The lymphatic system helps to cleanse the body of dead cells, proteins, bacteria, and viruses . The average sedentary lifestyle, combined with stress, pollutants and diets high in sugar and fat can contribute to a sluggish and often overwhelmed lymphatic system. A lymphatic massage can increase the flow of lymph by as much as 20%, lasting for up to 24 hours. This extremely relaxing technique when done on a regular basis can help reduce puffy eyes, alleviate acne, relieve headaches and sinus problems, and rejuvenate dull skin.

30 minutes - $30.00

Aromatherapy:

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils that are derived from plants. These oils are used during a massage either topically with a carrier oil, such as almond oil, or diffused into the air. Each scent has its own properties which interacts with the bodies chemistry, helping to invoke change both physically and mentally. The usage of scents has been used for 3000 years for relaxation, and pain relief. Clients can select one essential oil of lavender, peppermint, patchouli or geranium at any session for no additional charge.

Foot Reflexology:

Reflexology maintains that the bodies organs, glands, limbs, torso and head are reflected in pressure points on the hands and feet. When these pressure points are massaged by the therapist then the entire body is stimulated, which helps relax muscles and increase circulation to all parts of the body. A reflexology session can be both relaxing and stimulating. Muscles are relaxed while toxins and waste products are released for a beneficial cleansing.

Energy Therapy: Reiki and Attunement

Reiki (Ray-Key) is an ancient non-invasive hands on therapy method that helps reduce stress, relieve pain and facilitate healing and personal growth. Reiki was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a spiritual educator, in his study of ancient Buddhist teachings in the late 1900's. Reiki means universal life energy, the energy found in all living things. It involves no doctrines, creeds or belief system. The Reiki current is released through the hands and involves a light touch. The Reiki practitioner works with various organs in the body as well as the nerve plexus and acts as a conduit for the Reiki energy. Reiki is gentle and greatly enhances all other healing modalities.

Dr. Mehmet Oz who is the vice chair of surgery and professor of cardiac surgery at Columbia University and directs the Cardiovascular Institute and is also a founder and medical director of the Integrative Medicine program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center has stated on the Oprah Show that he believes energy therapy is the new frontier of medicine. He is the author of the award-winning book Healing From the Heart, YOU the Owners Manual with Dr. Michael Roiszen MD, as well as other publications. He has appeared on television and has been interviewed in national magazines and newspapers to discuss his success with complementary medicine.

Dr. Oz believes in incorporating both traditional Western techniques and complimentary therapies for treating disease and for overall wellness.

Attunement is a non-touch approach to vibrant energy health and healing. It involves the sharing of a radiant life energy to assist an individual in finding alignment and balance in body, mind and emotions. Attunement helps a person get in touch with their heart and soul and provides a personal experience of inner peace and balance.

Far Infrared Heat Lamp Therapy

Far infrared energy is part of the invisible natural light spectrum of sunlight, minus the skin damaging UV, which makes FIR harmless. The wavelengths of FIR are too long for the eyes to perceive, but can be experienced as gentle radiant heat. Far infrared heat has the ability to penetrate 1-3 inches through the skin to the subcutaneous tissue. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissue causes blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting better blood circulation. The therapist will sometimes start a massage session with a few minutes of FIR heat in a localized area. For a more therapeutic benefit it can be added on to any massage session or scheduled as a stand alone treatment.
