Most of us go through the day without being aware of how we are in
our bodies and what they are trying to communicate. We tune our bodies
out in order to get our jobs done, finish our commutes home, and run
our errands before we finally lie down and go to sleep, and we hope to
wake up feeling good. Even when our bodies finally get our attention
with excruciating sensations that we can’t ignore, do we listen as they
tell us what they want, what they need?
Discovering our body’s wisdom is a passport to begin our journey
of exploration and discovery in the most fascinating, miraculous, and
meaningful land we’ll ever traverse. Through such a voyage, we will
come to regard our body not as foreign territory but as home
(Discovering the Body’s Wisdom by Mirka Knaster).

- Swedish Massage – includes long, relaxing strokes, kneading,
friction, tapping, and shaking motions. It is effective for most
ailments, because massaging the skin, the body's largest organ, sets up
a chain reaction that produces a positive effect on all layers and
systems of the body. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and
circulation, while promoting health and well-being. Swedish massage
helps release the body of unwanted strain and stress. Your body will
feel rested and your mind at ease for a total pampering
experience. ($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.; $100/90 min.)
- Thai Massage - This is an interactive manipulation of the body
using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines. These
movements may help adjust the skeletal structure, increase flexibility
and range of motion, relieve muscular and joint tension, stimulate
internal organs, and balance the body's energy system. The effect is
uniquely relaxing as well as energizing. Receiving a Thai massage is a
bit like doing yoga without putting forth any effort while also getting
acupressure treatments. Thai massage is done on the floor and no oil or
lotions are used. The client wears lose comfortable clothing.
($75/60 min.; $100/90 min.)
- Sports Massage - tends to be deeper and more intense. It helps
alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft
tissues during physical activity. This treatment is not just for the
sports person: anyone can benefit from clinical massage, including
people in physically demanding jobs. ($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.; $100/90
min.)
- Trigger Point – excellent for relieving soft tissue pain
and dysfunction, improvement of circulation, pinpointing relief to
specific problem areas. Trigger points are tender areas usually found
in tight muscles. They may radiate pain to other areas of the body.
They may also cause muscle weakness or restricted range of motion. This
massage is a manual system of working with trigger points.
($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.; $100/90 min.)
- Reflexology - soothe and stimulate the foot from toe to tendon as
your pampered sole revives your tired soul. Foot reflexology may help
improve circulation and may help in discomforts such as headaches and
stomach alignments. ($45/30 min.)
- Aromatherapy Massage - massage treatment of essential oil blends
makes your body a flowery meadow and your mind a peaceful place.
($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.; $100/90 min.)
- Hot Stone Massage - perfect for those wanting a super-deep tissue
massage to help stubborn muscles release and relax. An ancient body
healing practice that alleviates stress with the massage of smooth,
heated basalt stones to deeply penetrate aching body muscles and banish
body fatigue. This seventy-five minutes combination of pressure, heat,
and coolness makes it one of our most powerful treatments. ($115/90
min.)
- Myofascial Release - Myofascial Release is used to evaluate and
treat restrictions in the body's contractile connective tissues
(muscles) and non-contractile supportive connective tissues (fascia) by
the application of gentle traction, pressures and positioning. Fascia
is a complex supportive web throughout the body affecting all
components of the musculoskeletal, nervous and visceral (organ)
systems. It surrounds groups of muscle fibres, and entire muscle groups
and organs. Myofascial release techniques are used to coax muscles in
spasm to relax, and break adhesions in the fascia. Bodies respond to
these therapies by releasing tension that has been stored in the
fascia, thus allowing more functional flexibility and mobility of the
muscles, fascia and associated structures. ($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.;
$100/90 min.)
- Cranio-Sacral Therapy - this gentle yet powerful healing modality
uses energy and gentle manipulation to effect direct and remote release
of pain and tension. It can even release emotions stored in the
tissues. It also works with moving the bones of the skull to relieve
pressures from old blows and compressions that can cause such diverse
problems as headaches, migraines, sinus problems, depression, ADD and
chronic fatigue. This form of bodywork is deeply and progressively
relaxing to the nervous system. ($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.; $100/90 min.)
- Lymphatic Drainage Therapy - this is a gentle hands-on technique
that works to activate fluid circulation and the proper functioning of
the lymphatic system that may help the body's ability to detoxify and
regenerate tissues, and maintain a healthy immune system which is the
function of the lymphatic system. Some conditions that may benefit
include inflammation, chronic pain, joint aches, allergies, sinus,
respiratory problems, headaches, breast lumps, hormone imbalance and
chronic female conditions, dental trauma and chronic problems, heavy
metal toxicity, neuromuscular trauma, immune and fatigue syndromes.
($45/30 min.; $75/60 min.; $100/90 min.)
- Raindrop Technique™ – Created and formulated by D. Gary Young,
N.D. It combines the art of aromatherapy, inspiration from ancient
cultures of the Lakota Indians, and Vita Flex techniques used by the
Tibetan monks. It incorporates gentle massage and application of
therapeutic grade essential oils to various parts of the body, which
may help bring structural and electrical balance to the body for spinal
vitality and harmony of body, mind and emotions. ($85/60 min.)
- Reiki – Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "Universal
Life-Force-Energy". The "Ki" part is the same word as Chi or Qi, the
Chinese word for the energy which underlies everything. Reiki is a
system for channeling that energy to someone for the purpose of
healing. It is a gentle, hands-on healing method, which may bring deep
relaxation and balance on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
levels. ($75/60 min., $100/90 min.)
- Aromatherapy Coaching – Aromatherapy was used by the most ancient
civilizations and is reputed to be at least 6000 years old. Essential
oils are life-enhancing gifts from the plant kingdom, revered for
centuries for their restorative properties to body, mind and spirit.
Pure essential oils now re-emerge as a key solution to the challenges
facing modern lifestyles. In your private aromatherapy coaching session
you will learn about the history, science and use of essential oils as
well as how to bring balance to different systems of your body with
Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oils. ($75/2-hour, $50/60
min.)
- Natural Health Consultation – Natural health is a totally
reasonable and respectable approach to health maintenance. It is based
on preventive healthy lifestyle as well as natural healing modalities
and remedies. Natural health has nothing to do with magic or new age
mysticism. Its historical development closely parallels that of Western
medicine up until the last couple of hundred years and there is nothing
anti-scientific about it. Your private Natural Health sessions will be
a safe resource for you while you learn, grow and explore natural
health. You will receive reliable information and resources,
consequently inspiring and empowering you to live in an ongoing and
progressively more joyous state of harmony, wholeness, and well being.
