Sports Massage can help prevent injuries, prepare the body for athletic activity, maintain it in optimal condition, and help athletes to recover faster from workouts and injuries.  Each sport has different physical demands and uses muscle groups in a different way.  Sports massage is designed to address those specific concerns.               offered by Charmaine

Structural Integration (SI) focuses on the connective tissue called fascia, which protects the muscles. The fascia can become stiff resulting in poor posture and health issues.   SI manipulates deep tissue to release stress patterns, help the client move and function with greater freedom, and effortlessly maintain a more upright posture.  Multiple sessions are typically required to complete a treatment regimen.   offered by Charmaine

Lymph Drainage can aide the body systems that drain fluids, regenerate tissue, maintain a healthy immune system and filter out toxins.  Therapists use flat hands to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements.  These subtle maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems.   offered by Marie

Foot, Hand, and Auricular (Ear) Reflexology Reflexology is an art and science that maps out the reflexes of the whole body on the feet, hands and ears.  By manipulating these specific areas every organ, gland and part of the body is affected.  This produces a relaxation response in the body which reduces stress levels and puts the body in a place where it has the opportunity to balance and heal itself.  Not only can body aches and pains be helped by Reflexology, but so can issues outside the muscular/skeletal system.     offered by Amber

Trauma Release can free energy trapped in the tissues of the body caused by an external force. Once a physical injury has healed, the impact of the force that caused the injury can stay behind as trapped energy, or energy cyst.  This is one reason old injuries can linger for years.  When the trapped energy is dispersed it allows for more complete healing.  Trauma Release is one of the few therapies that can benefit a fresh injury that is extremely painful.  offered by Marie

Somato-Emotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process that expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of emotional trauma.  Suppressed emotions can inhibit complete physical healing resulting in adverse affects to the body.  Have you had emotional experiences in the past that continue to bother you today?  Do you have feelings of indecision or feel mentally and emotionally stuck?  Releasing trapped emotions can prompt the relief of obsessive thoughts, provide a greater sense of emotional freedom, and allow for more complete physical healing.   offered by Marie

ENERGY HEALING THERAPIES

Energy Healing utilizes the various energy systems of the body to raise and strengthen the bodies vibration.  Injured, diseased or stressed tissue have a low vibration.  By helping to raise this vibration the body is better able to heal itself.

Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) means ‘Universal Life Energy’ and is a Japanese healing technique for transmitting life energy by placing the hands gently in specific positions either on or above the body for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing.  Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize. Unlike other healing therapies based on the premise of a human energy field, Reiki seeks to restore order to the body whose vital energy has become unbalanced.  Reiki is very effective for stress related problems.  

Intuitive Touch is a unique approach to energy healing.  The goal is to discover significant energetic blocks that are contributing to physical and emotional pain.  It relies on the intuitive connection between client and therapist to quickly identify those restrictions in need of immediate attention. Subtle hands-on therapies such as Trauma Release, Somato-Emotional Release, CranioSacral Therapy, and Accupressure are utilized to release the restrictions.  During a session, energy meridians and chakras are cleared and the body is grounded, centered and balanced resulting in healing at multiple levels.   offered by Marie and Deborah
