Integrative Bodywork and Energy Healing Techniques
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.
There is no denying the power of integrative bodywork and energy healing techniques.
Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management),
integrative bodywork and energy healing techniques can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.
The benefits received are doubly powerful if taken in regular "doses". Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related.
There is no doubt that integrative bodywork and energy healing techniques can help manage stress.
This translates into:
· Decreased anxiety
· Enhanced sleep quality
· Greater energy
· Improved concentration
· Increased circulation
· Reduced fatigue
Furthermore, clients often report a keener sense of perspective and clarity after a session.
The emotional balance that bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.
And in this case, more really is better. The benefits received are compounded when utilized as a consistent therapy. The more you get, the more it does.
Taking part in this form of regularly-scheduled self care can play a huge part in how healthy you'll be and how youthful you'll remain with each passing year.
Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health.
And remember, just because it may feel like a pampering treat doesn't mean it is any less therapeutic.
Consider integrative bodywork and energy healing appointments a necessary part of your health and wellness plan and establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
Browse through the modalities that follow.
Most modalities are stand alone treatments or can be combined with other modalities.
Discuss with your therapist your specific goals for your session to help determine which form or combination
of integrative bodywork or energy healing technique would be most beneficial to you.
 
Please arrive 20 minutes early for your first appointment so you can fill out the paperwork
and 10 minutes early for subsequent appointments so you can discuss with your therapist your needs for that day.
This way, you receive the full time allotted receiving bodywork.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is the art of manipulating the soft tissue of the body for the purpose of healing.
It is one of the oldest of the Healing Arts. In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body with profound effects.
Research shows that massage can:
- Help release chronic muscular tension and pain
- Improve circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs
- Increase joint flexibility and range of motion
- Decrease low back pain
- 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
- Create an overall sense of well-being
- Reduce swelling and scar tissue
- Stimulate lymph flow and supports the body's natural process of detoxification
 
In this age of increased longevity, the preventative and restorative nature of massage
becomes an important component to maintain vitality, flexibility and peace of body, mind and spirit.

Chakra Balancing Massage
The Chakra Balancing Massage is a treatment that includes massage, foot reflexology and subtle energy work. T
he intention throughout the treatment is to help you focus and connect to your chakras.
When the chakras are balanced, physical healing occurs more rapidly. There also times when imbalances can be corrected before they manifest in the physical.
The chakra system is located in the core of your being in a channel located along the spine. The energy flows through the channel in ascending and descending directions.
The ascending energy takes you from the physical level of being through your mind and emotions and connects you to the larger universe.
It is about finding a deeper meaning and purpose to your life.
The descending energy is the manifesting energy that moves you from the world of mind and spirit and helps you manifest ideas into the physical world.
The level that the chakras are operating at determines the effectiveness of the energy that flows through them.
It is a great way to connect with something familiar like massage, while also being introduced to the less well-known aspects of energy work.
You will come away with a greater appreciation for the interwoven aspects of your body, mind and spirit and have a greater sense of participating in your healing journey.
By balancing your chakras, you can gain a greater connectedness to the larger universe and be better able to manifest your goals and desires in the physical world.

Facelift Massage
With age, circulation slows and skin loses its vitality.
Experts say that massage combats these effects by increasing circulation through the manipulation of tissue,
improving the appearance and condition of the skin and its elasticity, and toning muscle tissue.
Massage has a stimulating cellular function in the hypodermis, dermis, and epidermis layers of the skin and also increases the production of skin-nurturing sebum.
Acupressure, a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, opens up the energy pathways so as to free and direct the flow of life energy, as well as improve it's level and quality.
Facelift Massage uses a combination of massage and acupressure to smooth out lines and wrinkles and to 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 life force energy to facilitate nutrient absorption,
encourage lymph drainage and enhances the skin's ability to breathe.
It also will stimulate 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.
Fight the signs of ageing without the use of chemicals. Put your best face forward with the help of a Facelift Massage.
Facelift Massage can be done as a stand alone treatment or done in combination with a neck, shoulder, arm and hand massage.

Central Inner Alignment
The Central Inner Alignment is the art of balancing the physical and energetic aspects of a person to inspire self-healing.
It involves gentle hand placements on various cranial bones and on the back to affect the flow of energy along the spine and the cerebral-spinal fluid within the spine.
The muscles and fascia on either side of the spine relax, the bones follow, the right and left hemispheres of the brain synchronize,
and the body is able to bring itself out of stress and into alignment.
When in alignment, it can heal itself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
The Central Inner Alignment is followed by a gentle massage to help integrate the balanced energetic pattern
and to assist in the removal of any toxins that are released during the process.

The Body Alignment Technique
The Body Alignment Technique 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 return 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 Technique is designed to:
- Balance the physical structure, organs, glands, body systems, meridians and chakras.
- Release suppressed emotions, toxicity and stress.
- Improve digestion, assimilation and immune response.
- Relieve pain and fatigue rapidly and effectively.
- Align and balance the physical mental emotional and spiritual bodies.
The Body Alignment Technique offers gentle, hands-on energy release work.
It can be used for acute and chronic conditions, or as part of an "energy tune-up" several times a year.

The Vibration of Sound
As we know, 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 the vibration of sound 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.
Sound can affect us on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
It has the ability to create vibrational changes.
On the physical level, sound can change the molecular structure. It can adjust the rate of vibration to a state of health.
On the emotional and mental levels, sound affects the areas of the brain that govern emotional response.
On a spiritual level, sound can heighten our awareness of and connection to our Divine Source.
Sound has the ability to be both therapeutic and transformative.

Reiki Healing Session
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.
It is a way to develop inner peace in the midst of external chaos.
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 the body. The energy is drawn where and as it is needed.
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 to become more balanced.
It promotes a general sense of well being.
After a session, many people report feeling refreshed, calm, balanced, free from pain and worry.

Combining Sound and Reiki

Sound Healing clears and balances the energy system and

and reinforces the integration of body, mind and spirit.

Myofascial Release and Cranial Techniques
Fascia is the tough connective tissue that covers every muscle, bone, nerve, organ, gland, vessel and cell in the body,
forming a continuous three dimensional web from head to foot. The fascia is what gives the body form.
Myofascial Release is a specialized hands on technique that uses gentle, sustained pressure
on this connective tissue to release 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
Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers to stimulate more than 7,200 nerve endings in each foot.
These nerve endings 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 in the related area 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.
 
Releasing Trapped Emotions
Emotions often get trapped in the body preventing us from living our lives the way we want to.
They may manifest as chronic physical ailments or unwanted emotional reactions or feelings that may seem to have no justification.
Emotions get trapped in a variety of ways. You may have had an experience and not been able to process out the emotions from that experience, so they become trapped.
You may have witnessed something and felt empathy for the people involved.
Sometimes the emotions of the people in the experience become trapped in you through your empathy.
Do you find yourself repeating patterns or behaviors that you would prefer not to?
Do you find yourself struggling with something and you can't figure out what?
Do you have chronic or recurring physical conditions that seem to surface periodically?
Subtle energies become trapped during emotional events that you have experienced or witnessed.
By using Kinesiology and Magnetic technology, we can identify, locate and remove these trapped emotions easily and effectively.
By releasing your trapped emotions, you may be able to take back your life, reclaim good health and enjoy emotional well being.
