MASSAGE THERAPY

Reiki is "energy" work and operates on the energetic field of your body. This is not a massage, and you are clothed. My hands are placed lightly on your body. I tune into your "energy body" and "channel" the healing Reiki energy where it is needed.

I have received the Reiki Levels I and II attunement and have access to three symbols by which the healing energy is transmitted. The power of these symbols can only be used for good, and will work for no other purpose.

I balance out the energy in the body where ever it is needed. And I give particular attention to the energy chambers in the body known as the chakras. Our understanding of the chakras comes to us from the ancient yogis of India. There are seven main chambers, from top to bottom; sahasrara, ajna, vishuddhi, anahata, manipura, swadhisthana, and mooladhara. Each chakra is an energy center for the various emotional and mental states and we can influence these fields in the body by leading the chakra into balance.

Additionally, I always incorporate some CranioSacral Therapy into the Reiki treatment.

Testimonial: Just wanted to say thank you! My body and spirit was relieved from so much anxiety and stress today. I have never had a reiki experience like I did today. It was very intense and helpful! I feel like I faced a lot of fears and released a lot of things that I was holding on to! wow. It was like a acid trip without the acid. lol.
By the way, I had been very bundled up in my stomach (constipation, irritation) for the last few weeks and I knew that you were so in tuned when you mentioned that. I felt a difference in my stomach immediately. Anywho, just wanted you to know that you made my day and I'll definitely be seeing you again soon!

Reflexology delivers the following benefits:

• Stress reduction and deep relaxation
• Improved circulation
• Aids the body in eliminating wastes and impurities
• Revitalizes energy and balances the body

Reflexology is more than just a good foot rub. It is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. Reflexology was founded on the principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body, and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands, and body parts. Working on the feet is an ancient art, as is evident from historical artifacts, texts, and illustrations, and its therapeutic effects have been well recognized in many cultures.

In the early part of the twentieth century, Dr. William Fitzgerald and Dr. Edwin Bowers gave life to their theory that parts of the body correspond to other parts of the body. In the same way that a hologram contains the whole picture in each of its parts, so too does the body contain a picture of the whole in each of its parts. In the 1930s, Eunice Ingham discovered that the feet, because they are the most sensitive, allowed the greatest access to the energy zones that run throughout the body, and that every part of the foot corresponds with a specific area in the body. She proceeded to map the entire body onto the feet and discovered that an alternating pressure on the various points had a tremendous therapeutic effect. Hence, reflexology was born.

How reflexology works is through the energy zones that run the length of the body. Reflexologists specify that there are ten of these zones; five on each side of the body that run from the head and tips of the fingers down through the body and into the feet. These zones can be thought of as meridians that give access at specific points on the body to other specific points within that zone in the body. The energy of life and the Universe flows through our bodies. Sometimes, this energy flow becomes blocked. But, because the whole of our bodies is contained within the feet, a reflexologist is able to reopen the energy flow to specific areas in the body that are blocked by working the corresponding part of the foot. This process brings balance and harmony to the body and can greatly aid the body in healing itself.

Highly recommended during the winter season of exceptionally dry skin!
