BODY-WORK THERAPIES
Body-Work therapies affect muscle tissue by working with other systems and structures of the body.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
A gentle treatment that utilizes the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.  It can release restrictions throughout the body, including the head, spine, muscles and organs.  A deeply relaxing therapy that relieves pain and reduces stress in both the mind and body.  Incredible and magical effects experienced by clients occur because of it's light touch and cellular altering capabilities.  Clients may stay fully clothed for this therapy or can combine it with massage.  CST is recommended for those who have experienced physical trauma, are in severe or chronic pain, are sensitive to touch or are uncomfortable receiving massage.

The Brain Speaks
An advanced level of craniosacral therapy which explores the potential for communicating with all aspects of the brain and the possibilities that may be achieved. By tapping into the inner workings of the brain, effects can be experienced throughout the rest of the body.  A blow to the head or a difficult childbirth can create restrictions within the brain that can have detrimental and life long  effects.
Somato-Emotional Release (SER)
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. 
Lymph Drainage
Aides 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.   
 

 MASSAGE THERAPIES
Therapeutic Massage 
Manipulation of soft tissue to restore balance, relax muscles, soothe the nervous system and increase range of motion.  It improves circulation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells and cleanses the tissue of metabolic waste.  Therapeutic massage generally includes the entire body with special attention to areas of restriction. 
Medical Massage
Outcome-based massage is primarily the application of a specific treatment targeted to the specific problem(s). The patient presents with a diagnosis and is administered treatment after a thorough assessment/evaluation by the medical massage therapist with specific outcomes being the basis for treatment.
Deep Tissue Massage
Focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue and physically breaks down adhesions that block circulation and cause pain, limited movement and inflammation.  It releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas.  Sometimes there can be stiffness or discomfort after a deep tissue massage that can be relieved thru the use of ice.  
Himalayan-Salt Hot Stone Massage
100% pure Himalayan crystal salt, considered the purest and most beneficial salt ever discovered on earth, contains 84 naturally occurring minerals and salts. Resonating at the Earth's frequency, Himalayan salt balances and neutralizes the frequencies we live with every day.
