Both my Integrative Massage & Reiki and Integrative Bodywork services have a deep focus on parasympathetic nervous system relaxation. The nervous system facilitates changes in soft tissue via fascia. I work in a specialized way that concentrates on using myofascial bodywork techniques that allow the body to feel safe and release tension without force or heavy pressure.
Integrative Massage and Reiki
My signature Integrative Massage & Reiki session has been the most booked service at the studio since 2012! This session combines a blend of light to moderate therapeutic bodywork and Reiki to create balance and harmony in the mind, body, and spirit.
This session begins with a massage and is followed by a Reiki session. Reiki supports the whole person, encompassing body, emotions, mind, and spirit, creating beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being.
This service can be deeply beneficial for conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, fibromyalgia, and trauma recovery.
Sessions are available in 60 or 90 minutes.
Integrative Bodywork-Myofascial Bodywork
A full session concentrated on bodywork, the art of working through the physical tissues of the body to promote health and wellness. Working with the body’s muscles, fascia, nerves, and pressure points, these therapies can relieve physical patterns of pain, free the body’s flow of energy, improve function, enhance circulation, promote tissue repair, and facilitate relaxation. Customized to your needs, this service combines various techniques I have been trained in. This service is available in 60 or 90-minute sessions. My bodywork services provide a deep focus on parasympathetic nervous system relaxation. I work in a specialized way that concentrates on using myofascial bodywork techniques to allow the body to feel safe and release tension without force or heavy pressure.
Why the deep focus on the parasympathetic nervous system?
The parasympathetic nervous system is the body’s main pathway to calm the body during times of stress. Due to the many things that can happen in our lives, this system often gets “stuck in the on position,” which can lead to many stress-related diseases and conditions in the mind and body. This type of service leads the body to naturally unwind, without force, any high states of unbalanced energy.
In addition, when working with the body, I can often pick up on things that may be holding up the healing process. For example, certain types of chronic pain or other types of physical/mental/and emotional distress that do not resolve with usual therapeutic massage therapy sessions may actually have underlying causes that greatly benefit from the deeper mind/body/spirit connection that my services provide. I can also help you identify certain nutritional imbalances that may contribute to chronic pain conditions.
When you come for your session, you will fill out a health history form, and we will also discuss your goals and main focus areas for the session. From there, your session will be perfectly customized for you. After your session, there is time to briefly discuss recommendations to maximize your healing process.
Integrative Massage & Reiki with Rose Quartz sessions are also available and include a rose quartz crystal for you to keep.
