Massage Modalities
Trigger Point Therapy / Myofascial Release
Based on the work of Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons,, myofascial trigger point therapy is used to relieve chronic muscular pain through applied pressure to trigger points. These points are defined as localized areas in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to pain when compressed. Pressure on these points can send referred pain to other specific parts of the body. This work, combined with the work of John Barnes, who teaches a very specific form of body work that allows your body to unwind and release tightly held chronic tension patterns, can free up pain and stiffness and restore movement and dysfunction.
Swedish Massage
One of the most well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.. I use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements, with the application of lotion or oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. . Pre-event massage is fast-paced and stimulating, it helps to establish blood flow and to warm up muscles. Post-event massage is delivered shortly after the event as a full body treatment. The intent here is to calm the nervous system and begin the process of flushing toxins and waste products out of the body. This reduces recovery time, enabling you to resume training more quickly than rest alone would allow. Massage can also speed and improve the quality of healing post-injury..
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage has been found to reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints. It's a popular complementary therapy during pregnancy for back pain, when use of medications is often limited. Proper positioning and comfort are especially important with pregnancy massage, along with reduction of deeper work and focus on
Energy Healing & Spiritual Coaching Skills
Energy Healing & Spiritual Counseling
Reiki healing is a hands-on energy healing art. In a reiki healing session, I place my hands on or just above the your body and a harmonic flow of energy is channelled. Healing occurs through the return of physical, mental, and emotional balance.
Light Language is channeled healing through the use of my voice as well as my hands. It is considered to be the language of the soul or the language of angels. Both ancient and futuristic, it is a multi-dimensional form of communication that bypasses the logical mind and connects directly with the heart and soul. These dynamic frequencies of sound and light adjust to each person's vibration, bringing about deep clearings, activation, healing and balancing.
Shamanic Practitioner I began studying Core Shamanism with a teacher in a small private group in 2004 and have been initiated into the Sioux Tradition. I also studied with a 35th Generation Nepalese Shaman for a period of time after my first initiation. This is a life long journey and the learning never ends. There are practices for connecting with aspects of yourself that have been lost through things like trauma and illness and teaching you how to communicate with guides and teachers and/or angels who are always with you, helping from the unseen realms.
Spiritual Coaching Sometimes we are too close to a situation or problem to consciously know the Spiritual Truth about ourselves or life. That's where spiritual coaching or counseling can be invaluable. I trained for six years with the Centers for Spiritual Living to become a Religious Science Practitioner (RScP). Through the practice of deep listening and affirmative prayer, mental and spiritual healing can occurr, assisting you to accept a healing of your consciousness, allowing the reflection of Truth in the physical body, and/or your experience.
