Integrative Bodywork
Integrating Body, Mind and Spirit
with Healing Touch with Healing Energy
The physical body consists of various systems - energetic and physical. A person needs to be balanced in both in order for healing to take place.
In integrative bodywork, both the physical and energetic aspects of the person are engaged so that the highest level of wellness may be achieved.
At the present time, Healing Touch offers the following modalities. All modalities are stand alone treatments or can be combined.
You will be asked about specific health conditions at your visit to help determine which form of bodywork would be most beneficial to you
 
Central Inner Alignment
The Central Inner Alignment is the art of balancing all aspects of the person. Energy is used to bring the body out of stress and into alignment.
Gentle hand placements on various cranial bones and along the spine guide the body to align energetically.
The bones, muscles, fascia and joints follow the energetic pattern.
When the body is aligned it can heal itself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
 
Body Alignment
The Body Alignment is a healing technique through which the energy blockages or imbalances in the nervous system are located, identified and released.
Our body operates much like a computer, storing memory patterns of trauma, illness, toxins and stress - until they are processed out.
These stored patterns tend to create blockages that inhibit the flow of energy and often create pain.
Energy blockages are released through balancing specific points on the body.
It is a way of processing out the stored energy patterns so that the body, mind and spirit can be returned to a state of balance.
This involves synchronizing the timing of the body so that healing can begin on all levels, resulting in a deeper and longer lasting healing.
The Body Alignment is designed to align and balance the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies and offers gentle, hands-on energy release work.
 
Reiki Healing Sessions
The literal translation of Reiki is "universal life energy". It is a Japanese healing art that was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800's.
It utilizes the life force energy that flows through everything. Reiki is a safe, natural technique for calming the mind and easing tension and stress.
By promoting a profound state of relaxation, Reiki enables us to restore harmony and balance on all levels of being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
During a healing session, the practitioner uses passive, gentle hand placements on or above the body.
Reiki can be used to relieve emotional and mental distress as well as chronic and acute physical problems.
It helps the universal life energy to flow freely again and the overall health become more balanced.
After a session, many people report feeling refreshed, calm, balanced and free from worry and pain.
 
Sound and Vibrational Healing
The Laws of Quantum Physics state that everything in the universe is made up of vibrations. This is true of the human body as well.
When in the state of health, every part of the body vibrates at the optimum frequency for each organ, gland, muscle, nerve, tissue or cell.
The further from the state of health a part of the body is, the further from this optimum frequency it is.
Healing through vibration helps the body remember and vibrate at this optimum frequency.
By using the sound and vibration of specially calibrated tuning forks, we can clear the energy field and chakras and bring them into balance.
This brings the body to it's natural state of wellness and aids in the integration of body, mind and spirit.
 
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is the art of manipulating the soft tissue of the body for the purpose of healing.
One of the oldest Healing Arts, massage can promote deep relaxation and relieve the stress and tension that comes with living.
Massage can help release chronic muscular tension and pain; improve circulation; increase joint flexibility; reduce mental and physical fatigue;
aid in the management of stress; promote faster healing of injured or overworked muscles; improve posture; reduce blood pressure; promote better sleep;
improve concentration; reduce anxiety; and create an overall sense of well-being.
 
Myofascial Release and Cranial Techniques
Fascia is the tough connective tissue that covers every muscle, bone, nerve, organ, vessel and cell in the body,
forming a continuous three dimensional web from head to foot.
Myofascial Release is a specialized hands on technique that uses gentle, sustained pressure on this connective tissue
to release fascial restrictions that may be causing pain and limitation in mobility.
As restrictions are released, there is an elongation of the tissue, allowing the body to return to its natural state of connectedness and wholeness.
The Myofascial System includes the CranioSacral System, which runs from the head to the sacrum.
It includes the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and the spinal cord as well as the bones of the skull, face, mouth, sacrum and tailbone.
Restrictions in this system can inhibit the body's natural abilities to self adjust and heal.
With a light touch, these restrictions can be released, allowing the body's self-correcting mechanisms to function as they were designed, and healing can occur.
 
Foot Reflexology
Foot Reflexology is an ancient healing tradition that uses the principle that there are reflex points in the feet that relate to every part of the body.
There are 7,200 nerve endings in each foot that correspond to all parts of the body including organs and glands.
By stimulating the appropriate region in the foot, energy blockages thought to produce pain or disease are cleared.
Reflexology can relieve stress and tension within the body. When the body is de-stressed, every function of it improves and healing can occur.
Reflexology improves circulation and lymphatic flow and works to unblock nerve impulse pathways.
These benefits all work toward helping the body to heal itself by restoring harmony, balance and well being.
A foot reflexology treatment is a gentle, effective way to regain or maintain good health.
 
Facelift Massage
There are many things that cause premature aging of the skin. This is most readily seen in the face.
They include excessive exposure to the sun, smoking and stress. Diet, exercise and proper skin care are also important.
What can be done to ease the effects of aging?
Facelift Massage uses a combination of massage and acupressure to smooth out lines and wrinkles and bring a more youthful gleam and color to your face.
Glowing, healthy skin is the basis for looking and feeling beautiful.
Facelift Massage will release muscular tension, promote the circulation of blood and Qi to facilitate nutrient absorption,
encourage lymph drainage and enhances the skin's ability to breathe, stimulates the skin's ability to produce collagen,
which softens the skin, smoothes wrinkles and promotes normal secretion from sweat and oil glands.
It is safe and effective and there are no side effects.
Facelift Massage can be done as a stand alone treatment (1/2 hour)
or done in combination with a neck, shoulder, arm and hand massage (1 hour).
