Ala Carte Menu Reiki
$36/$60
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy and is a gentle, healing art used to alleviate pain and stress and promotes a host of benefits for the mind and body including a heightened sense of well being, and release of painful muscle tension, anxiety and depression. Reiki, a simple, hands-on technique, addressing both chronic and acute conditions, gently and powerfully promotes balance of body, mind and spirit. Treatment consists of lying on a massage table fully clothed - little or no pressure is applied and no oils are used. People report a sense of calm and well-being. Studies have shown significant reduction of pain in cancer patients, increased mobility in patients with Lupus, M.S., Fibromyalgia and many other conditions.
Myofascial Release/
soft tissue work
$50/$85
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on technique used to reduce chronic pain, increase range of motion and release limitations in joints/muscles by working on the fascial system of the body. Fascia is the elastic web of connective tissue that covers muscles, organs, bones and nerves. It runs head to toe and binds the human body into an integral whole, allowing the proper functioning of moving structures including joints, tendons and muscles. Restrictions in the fascia result in a pulling on muscles and other structures resulting in limited movement, pain and tightness. MFR is performed lying on a massage table and involves direct contact with skin in the application of stretches and pressure to fascia and muscles (no oils!). Since human memories are contained in the granular structure of soft tissue, you may experience the rise of emotions that accompanied a trauma, illness or injury. Results of treatment varies with each individual, but generally goals are reached with treatment 1-2 times per week over a 4-12 wk period.
Quantum Touch
$36/$60
Quantum Touch (QT) is a gentle yet profound healing technique used for pain relief and emotional healing. This treatment incorporates light touch and breathing for the movement of energy and is commonly referred to as a "super charged" reiki. QT uses breath to manipulate the flow, and direction of energy to direct healing toward specific areas of pain or energy blockage. Treatment is provided fully clothed, seated or on massage table, no oils.This treatment is useful for any physical condition or emotional issues.
