Energy Balancing is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. The experience of emotional or physical illness, indicates that ones life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with the Bio-energetic field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once the energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
Ion Detox Alkalizing Therapy is a foot soak that decreases joint stiffness, relieves muscle spasms, increases blood flow, leads to pain relief, affects soft tissue injures, and alkalizes the body by pulling toxins from your body through your feet.
Bio Feedback Frequency Therapy is a Technological Energetic Therapy that analyses, diagnosis and treats internal and external aliments. This therapy is a mind–body technique in which individuals learn how to modify their physiology for the purpose of improving physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and also used to manage high blood pressure, muscle pain or tension, anxiety, IBS symptoms and insomnia.
Asian Cupping Therapy is a alternative bodywork treatment where glass cups are suctioned on to the skin to draw out impurities and lactate acids from the muscles.
The suction of the cups mobilizes blood flow to promote the healing of a broad range of medical ailments.
Cupping therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians were using cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.
Deep Oriental bodywork aims to restore and balance the flow of energy (Chi) throughout the body. It uses gentle hand and finger pressure along specific points and energy pathways (meridians) on your body to restore the body to full health. There are many forms of Oriental bodywork, but they all share a common foundation in Chinese Medicine. They simply differ in their use of specific techniques to balance the energy.
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving ones body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching specific points on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these "points" on the body, which relieves muscle tension and improves circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
The body stores stress in specific areas called pressure points. Pressure points are small painful pockets of energy that are located along a nerve pathway in the body. These pressure points actually block the nerve energy from flowing through your body, causing a variety of discomforts and illnesses. In our session, I apply pressure to these specific points and dissolve them, releasing any blockages and restoring nerve pathways to optimal health and function.
Structural integration employs soft tissue manipulation with the goal of realigning the body in relationship to the force of gravity. The theory underlying structural integration asserts that often the body's connective tissue is "bound up," thus restricting opposing muscles from working independently of one another. Thus, we aim to loosen the restricted connective tissue by using a practice very similar to deep tissue massage. Practitioners typically prescribe a specific sequence of ten sessions lasting between 75 and 90 minutes in order to "unlock" the whole body.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Chinese Tui-Na Bodywork involves the use of the physician’s hands to diagnose through palpation and treat diseases and illnesses with a variety of manual techniques in combination with acupoints and other manipulation techniques to enhance the healing process.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques in order to release trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension at home or the workplace. Massage is done in a specialized ergonomic chair, that is brought to decided location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness sometimes felt by disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into a busy schedule.
Zero Balancing is a simple yet powerful technique for aligning the body's energy system with the physical structure of the body. Each session generally takes between 30 and 40 minutes, and is performed with you fully clothed. Once your structure and energy system are balanced, many dysfunctional habits tend to release automatically. In addition, this promotes better function with greater ease and clarity in the world, leading to a deeper overall sense of well-being and health.
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Zen Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.
Sensory Re-patterning uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. This practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and self awareness through relaxation.
