Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands on tehnique that mobilizes the bones of the skull and spine, and releases tension in the meninges, the protective covering over the brain and spinal cord.  The human body is composed of multiple systems that work together to achieve an equilibrium that provides us with a sense of peace and well-being.  The central nervous system is the master system, providing directions to every organ and tissue in the body.  When the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) isn’t receiving enough blood, or the environment in which it lives isn’t optimal, disharmony ensues.  An “autonomic imbalance” is quite often at the root of many of the health problems we face in society today.  By using soft touch to manipulate the bones of the cranium and spine, craniosacral therapy technique “massages” the central nervous system, and looks to restore normal function and balance to bring harmony to the individual.

Chinese Herbal Therapy

Traditional Chinese herbal formulas have treated a variety of conditions for more than 3,000 years. Many of today’s pharmaceutical drugs have their basis in herbalism.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “spiritual energy”. It is a method of energy healing that is usually done by placing the hands in a series of positions on or slightly above the physical body. The practioner may use Reiki tools (stones, symbols, visualization, essential oils or sound) to help balance the frequency of the body. Reiki will promote healing by activating the relaxation response, aligning the chakras and helping the body to restore balance on all levels of being including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Reiki works by clearing away negative energy and sealing in positive energy. Reiki has been scientifically proven to decrease pain levels, speed healing and relax the body and mind.

Chinese Massage (TuiNa)

Chinese Massage is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese Taoist and martial art principles to bring the body into balance. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll, press and rub the areas of the body to activate energy moving in the meridians as well as the muscles. The practitioner will use traction, massage with the stimulation of acupressure points, and range of motion stretches. This can help treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal disorders. TuiNa is invigorating to the body during the treatment and very relaxing after.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient medical treatment that relies upon creating a local suction to mobilize blood flow in order to promote healing. It invigorates the body, stimulates the immune and lymphatic systems, improves digestion, increases circulation, and opens up the lungs and respiratory system. The technique can leave some superficial, painless skin bruising that will go away in a few days.
