"There is but one temple in the Universe... and that is the human body. Nothing is holier than that high form. We touch heaven when we lay our hand upon the human body."

—Thomas Carlyle, Scottish

Therapeutic Massage Techniques
A brief description of techniques that may be used during your session are listed below. A single technique or a combination may be used during each session.

Lymphatic Drainage  This technique uses gentle movements to aid the body in reducing areas of stagnation in the lymphatic system. This process improves the immune system as well as the function of other organs and body systems.

CranioSacral  Light touch which detects and releases imbalances and relieves undue pressure on the craniosacral system (brain and spinal cord area).

Myofascial Release  Alleviates adverse effects of inflammation, tension, and trauma releasing the adhesions within the connective tissue throughout the body to relax and move without restrictions.

Swedish Massage  A technique using long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, and tapping motions which helps heal many ailments by positively affecting the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation.

Deep Tissue Massage  Uses compression and friction to reach the deep portions of thick muscles in order to release toxins and tension.

Reflexology  An acupressure-type technique performed on the hands and feet. Each part of the body corresponds to a reflex point on the feet. Stimulating the reflex point stimulates the natural healing energy of the related organ.

Reiki  The use of healing energy to balance the seven chakras (an elaborate, subtle system of energy). Relieves pain, restores vitality, and aids in spiritual growth.

Aromatherapy  Essential oils are chosen to meet each person's needs.
