Reiki

Healing through Energy

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that uses energy to enhance well-being. Its ancient Japanese roots are now recognized as a powerful alternative therapy. Reiki believes that "ki" flows through all living beings, and disruptions can lead to illness or imbalance. Practitioners act as conduits, transmitting energy to stimulate the body's healing abilities. Reiki is gentle and non-invasive, working regardless of belief. During a session, recipients lie down fully clothed while practitioners place hands on or near energy centers called chakras, creating a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.

Lymphatic Drainage Movement

Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting detoxification and boosting the immune system. It helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the body. Through gentle strokes, lymph fluid flows better, eliminating harmful substances and reducing swelling. It can benefit those with lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, or chronic fatigue. Overall, lymphatic drainage improves lymph circulation and enhances well-being, working alongside other therapies for healing physically and emotionally.

Cranial Sacral

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle yet profound healing technique that restores balance within the craniosacral system. Developed by Dr. John Upledger in the 1970s, this holistic therapy uses subtle touch and skilled manipulation to detect and correct imbalances in the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By supporting the body's natural healing abilities, CST can address various physical and emotional ailments such as chronic pain, migraines, TMJ disorders, stress-related conditions, and trauma. During a session, the client lies clothed on a massage table as the therapist focuses on specific areas like the head, neck, back, and sacrum to perceive and correct restrictions or imbalances in the craniosacral rhythm.

By applying sustained pressure and slow strokes, this type of massage is able to effectively relieve chronic pain and aid in the recovery process. Additionally, deep tissue massage is known to greatly enhance flexibility, promote overall well-being, and reduce stress levels. With its multitude of benefits, this form of massage therapy is a popular choice for individuals seeking both physical and mental relief.
