General Info

A brief introduction to the practices I offer: Reiki A relatively new practice, founded and developed by Japanese Mikao Usui, this gentle energy transfer technique relaxes one into the the natural flow of energy throughout the body system. Encouraging states of awareness and depth through the emotional and mental aspects, clarity, vision, increased adaptability and movement, increased immune function, pain management, grief and emotional support, rehabilitation support for injuries and decreased healing time, and for some a space into which it may be possible to encounter personal experiences of the numinous. What to expect: This practice is done fully clothed on a massage table, and does not require any specific belief system to receive benefit. Recommended time: 60 mins. Acupressure Massage Acupressure massage is an ancient form of massage using pressure at specific points along the body to influence what are known as meridians, or energy lines (similar to how nerves electrically stimulate body function) to generate balance within the whole body system, including but not limited to organ function, muscular function, and emotional/mental function. Acupressure uses the same system of points as acupuncture, however there are no needles used, only pressure. Pressure during a session should never be painful, although some tenderness may occur to be effective with some kinds of sessions. It is important during an acupressure session to keep in good communication with your practitioner about how much pressure they are using to ensure that you have the best experience possible. Gentle flowing massage strokes are combined with holding points for up to 2 minutes in length, to effect change in the body. The practitioner may invite receivers to breathe deeply to engage and deepen the effectiveness of these sessions. What to expect: Acupressure is performed either clothed or unclothed, on a massage table, and oils may or may not be used to increase the effectiveness of the massage. The practitioner may use essential oil blends, and it is important to inform them of any allergies that you have to any oils. Recommended time: 90 mins. For maximum results, it is best to receive 3 consistent sessions for each issue in order to create a lasting change within the body within a 4-8 week period. Lomi Lomi Massage In Hawaiian, Lomi Lomi means knead knead, or to knead with the hands. The style of Lomi that I offer is from the Hawaiian School of Shamanic Bodywork, and is called Heartworks. This flowing style of massage deeply influences the heart, and accesses natural states of trance through which the mind lets go into nourishing and rejuvenating spaces for both the mind and the body. Each stroke of this massage is inspired by the movement of the ocean waves, flowing against the shore. The receiver is highly encouraged to breathe in a flowing style to fully undertake the experience of being cleansed by the water, and because this style greatly moves lymph and blood through muscles and energy through meridians, a Lomi massage of this style is indeed, a cleansing and renewing experience. What to expect: Lomi Lomi is performed unclothed on a massage table, and uses oils to create it's flowing strokes. Option for chest and belly massage. A Hawaiian blessing is often spoken at the beginning of the session to bring significance, depth and facilitated awareness within the practice. It is highly recommended that the receiver take a cleansing shower immediately after their massage to clear and awaken from the trance state. It is also recommended that the receiver drink water after the session, and more water than they normally would for the next three days after a session to promote excretion of toxins from released lymph and fluid.
