  • SIDDHA MARMA THERAPY

    90 or 120 Minute Session

    This comes from Ayurveda. A 5000+ year old medicine system generated from the Dravidian Culture from 18 Siddhas in South India. Siddhas are the considered ancient supernatural spiritual saints of India. The word Siddha means an object to be obtained, perfection or heavenly bliss. 'Siddha Marma' means the therapy or medicine is perfect. It's focuses to rejuvenate the glands and organs, as dysfunction of these causes disease. Marma maintains the rate of Vata, Pitta or Kapha dosha, Or simply put, balances out the predominant nature we lean towards that can cause imbalance, anxiety, depression, anger etc. Prana (life energy) flows through these life giving Marma Points. Wounded fighters would be nursed back to health in hospitals with Marma Therapy. By definition a Marma point is a juncture in the body where two or more tissues meet, such as muscles, veins, ligaments, bones or joints. These junctures form the seats of vital life force or prana. According to Sushrutas' teachings, there are 107 Marmas in the body (The 108th is your mind) Some of the many benefits include, decrease in fatigue, strengthens the body, induces sleep, aids resistance to disease, improves color and texture of skin, releases blocked energy, memory or emotion from the body. Each point has a Sanskrit name and correlates to either organs, joints, mind, digestion etc. It's Beautiful work and I invite you to try sometime.

  • Temple Style Lomi Lomi

    90 or 120 Minute Session

    This gorgeous ancient Hawaiian massage and healing session has more of a loving and sacred ceremony in its receiving.

    Founded by Abraham Kawai'i from Kauai and is based on the spirit of aloha, the ability to be present, open and compassionate. The belief system of this ancient way of seeing the body is to understand that the body is not broken, there is nothing wrong and nothing needs fixing. The only ingredient we add and invite in is love. The body aligns itself when our spirit comes back into alignment.

    This is both relaxing and therapeutic with long fluid rhythmic strokes over the full body as the practitioner uses the arms and hands as instruments of the heart.

    Beginning with a prayer chant blessing calling in ancestors and guides to open to love, wellbeing and healing and some guided meditation offerings throughout.

  • VISIONARY CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

    Optional Addition To Any Massage Service

    This lovely modality works with the cerebrospinal fluid that circulates around our body around 7-12 times a minute. Its likened to the eb and flow of ocean current. 5 grams of pressure working over specific areas is all that is needed to search out this rhythm. Here we look for any pressure fluctuations, blockages, unwinding, pulls, lags in the system and work to create more space in the spine and freer movement within the skull. It's a mixture of anatomy with intuition. We are also listening for emotional holds, energy cysts (if that is work the client feels so comfortable and called to do). The biggest part of cranio protocol is listening. Listening and following. The body wants to be well and the body is always talking. The biggest factor... are we listening?

    We have learned to seek our cardiac pulse and respiratory rate. This can be beautifully described as the pulse of the soul.. So much can shift in this gentle meditative space.

  • RELAXATION MASSAGE

    60, 90 or 120 minute Sessions

    Little to say here except float away as we enter into a blissful meditative state and gently nourish your body and mind with safe and loving touch designed to connect you back to the core of who you authentically are before the stressors and pain that we all journey through, come to pass. Can be customized to the style of your liking. ex. more long fluid Swedish massage movements, more Shiatsu (Japanese finger pressure points) etc. The more detailed you can be with what you're wanting, the more I can work with you to achieve what's best for your journey of healing.

  • Healing Massage Journey

    180 Minute Session (3 hours)

    My second journey back to Goa India lead me to another one of the wonderful and wise Gagori Mitra' trainings. This massage is an offering and fusion of her many years of findings as a ayurevdic therapist and teacher.

    Healing massage is based on intuition where the practitioner is guided to listen with your hands. It is a deep communicative touch. Simple techniques are blended with great detail and used to create equal focus on arms, legs, back, stomach, chest, face and head. (Which is why the 3 hour booking is used for this massage)

    Body psychology is taken into account with the understanding that our body is nothing but the extension of our own mind. The body and mind are not separate. The emotions that pass through the body affect the body, muscle, bone, tendon and ligament and tell us stories.

    As we slowly consciously work each aspect of the body in detail and tune becoming fully present great results can appear physically, mentally and emotionally.

  • TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

    90 or 120 Minute Sessions

    Therapeutic, Remedial, Deep Tissue Treatments

    Trigger Point is a method developed by Travell and Simons in two large manuals detailing every Trigger Point within the body. Simply put, if it's a war between muscle and bones, muscle is stronger and always wins. Bones go where muscle pulls it. Muscles have fibers with sarcomeres spiraling around its entirety. When Trigger Points are present the sarcomeres can become overstretched or overly condensed in certain areas typically within the belly of the muscle. The object of this therapy is to locate the Trigger Point, coined as the area of 'exquisite tenderness' and activate it which then gives the muscle opportunity to release back into healthy functioning state. This modality treats injured muscles the same way as broken bone. Traditionally one is asked to discontinue whatever is causing the condition as this is called a perpetuating factor and you don't heal a broken limb by using it, you heal by resting and receiving treatment. It is believed that injured muscle cannot grow or develop as you my sometimes see on athletes, one arm being much larger than the other etc. This is a visual example of Trigger Points at play. Trigger Points can be active (causing pain/discomfort) or latent (causing no pain in day to day activities and is noticed only upon manual examination)

    Trigger Point and Raynor Treatments are Deep. You may be sore. You may bruise. (Especially when the muscles are the tightest) Communication is paramount. If you want more or less pressure at any time say something the moment you have that thought, not after. We are working together but ultimately YOU are responsible for communicating your needs!

  • RAYNOR THERAPY

    90 or 120 Minute Sessions

    Developed by Brandon Raynor. He has lived and trained in many different modalities around the world. He has taken highlights from a lifetime of training and integrates cultural consciousness into his work. He has added in his own findings and has fused together a style of massage using bands of tension throughout the body. The belief system of this modality is all tensions come from the roots, being the hands, feet, head and belly. So, in detail you work one specific band at a time and if it will not release you go back to the root to find the area of tension that is still holding making further up the band impossible to release. For example in big toe belly band, if the band isn't releasing up into the adductors further along the band, retrace your steps further down the leg to find the hold which will then release the adductors. The motto of this therapy is to "Work the band of tension, with the breath, at the threshold of tolerance." Great detail, time and work is placed on the roots (hands feet, belly and head).

    Trigger Point and Raynor Treatments are Deep. You may be sore. You may bruise. (Especially when the muscles are the tightest) Communication is paramount. If you want more or less pressure at any time say something the moment you have that thought, not after. We are working together but ultimately YOU are responsible for communicating your needs!

  • DIGILIGHT THERAPY

    Complimentary Optional Addition to Any Massage Service

    This technology comes out of Switzerland. It is in the laser family but classifies as light therapy. The Digilight is a mixture of electrical stimulation of tissues and ionization, light stimulation, photo biochemical stimulation, and mechanical stimulation, acupressure from the treatment. Digilight goes through every color of the rainbow each penetrating different depths into the body achieving different results but ultimately increasing metabolism of skin, muscle, blood and lymphatic tissues for example red is a protein cellular activator, green is a tissue regulator stimulating venous and lymphatic return circulation. This Polychromatic light uses gold and rhodium prongs to deliver microcurrent finely tuned to the level of the normal electrical exchanges which take place at a cellular level and have the ability to penetrate the cell. The subsensory current goes in and normalizes the ordinary activity taking place within the cell if it has been injured or otherwise compromised and will increase production of ATP, protein synthesis, oxygenation, ion exchange, absorption of nutrients, elimination of waste products and neutralizes the oscillating polarity of deficient cells. Homeostasis is restored. The biologically sensitive stimulation effect of microcurrent picks up where the body's own electrical currents fails because the human body must adhere to the natural law of electricity which is: "electricity must take path of least resistance." Therefore, its electrical current is destined to move around an injury or defect rather than through it. The Digilight has cumulative effects, each session builds upon the last. working to treat, TMJ, tennis elbow, joint pain, swelling, edema, arthritis etc. Maximum exposure time creates the greatest benefits. This device is fabulous for localized treatments or specific injury etc.

    **Contra-indications, pregnancy, epilepsy, working over malignant tumor, or pacemaker.

  • AMETHYST BIOMAT

    Offered as a complimentary gift to all those coming in for sessions.

    You lay on a bed of crystals the size and width of the table. 30 pounds of amethyst crystal and tourmaline gemstones activate together with FAR infrared heat to relax, restore and rejuvenate you from the inside out. Crystals have cohesive, dominant, pure, resistance free vibrations. Human ailments have non cohesive, rapid patterns. The governing law of attraction (in order to share space with another form you must be vibrating at the same level it is vibrating, comes into play here.) The unchanging physical structure of a crystal is a reflection of the fact that their innate energetic patterns of balance and cohesiveness is incorruptible. Training with crystals energetically causes you to change your structure and physiology on the physical dimension! As we work together with these precious jewels we are coming in sync with the healing properties of mother earth! But really, there is little need to explain this magical mat. It simply speaks for itself. Trust me on this one!
