Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health.

During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us.

The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

Pediatric Massage

Trained and certified by Tina Allen of the Liddle Kidz Foundation http://www.liddlekidz.com/

Session length determined by Pediatric client- We will schedule the session with the intention of performing a massage on the pediatric client.  The client receiving the work may have other plans!  Children sometimes take time to get comfortable with a new person and that is not a problem.  A second visit on a different day may be necessary.  

Another option would be a session for the parent/guardian to learn basic techniques for relaxation, bonding relationships with touch therapy, or learning some Massage Stories! 

Massage Stories are interactive stories for a pediatric client, similar to a guided meditation with a massage.  The story entertains and creates an interactive way to have the client more comfortable during the session.    

We will start with $15 dollars to come to the house and meet with the client and parent/guardian; If a massage session happens that day, it will be $1 per minute of hands-on time.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me for more information.

 

Here is an image of an impromptu pediatric massage story with my Nephew, Simon.  We were playing and he was starting to help me set up for my client (his Mother) when he asked for one.  The story was about a little lady-bug and her grasshopper friend on an adventure!

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation.

The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
