ENERGY WORKReikiReiki therapy is a Japanese relaxation technique which reduces stress and promotes healing. A treatment consists of “laying on of hands”, working with the client’s energy field, and using that connection to release stagnation. Reiki treats the whole person, leaving the client with a sense of relaxation, peace, well-being and security. 60 minutes $75, 90 minutes $110 CranioSacral Therapy Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach for balancing the structures of the central nervous system that can have an effect in all areas of the body. This gentle approach facilitates the body’s innate sense to restore itself to a healthier state. CST also addresses the restrictions in other areas of the body that can ultimately affect pain and dysfunction and contribute to restrictions in the craniosacral system. Additionally, CST addresses the physical manifestation of unresolved emotional issues that can often affect quality of life and create physical pain and dysfunction. Any unresolved physical or emotional event creates a structural residue which CST can eliminate, helping to promote health and vitality. This bodywork is appropriate for all ages. 60 minutes $90, 90 minutes $125; Senior Therapist: 45 minutes $90, 60 minutes $115 , 90 minutes $160 EASTERN HEALING ARTSAcupressureAcupressure is an ancient Chinese technique based on the meridians (energy channels) and the energy flow of the body. Using pressure points located along these meridians, the flow of life force (chi) can be directed in order to promote optimal health. If you are working with injury or illness, acupressure can alleviate symptoms by releasing blockages in the meridian system and stimulating a healthy flow of chi. 60 minutes $75, 90 minutes $110 Thai Yoga Therapy Thai Yoga Therapy provides an education for the body to experience release of deep holding and tightness. It is an assisted healing practice to help your body release deeply held tension, increase range of motion and support better circulation and over all well-being. During your session you will be lying on the floor on a soft thick mat. The movement session includes gentle pressing, assisted yoga stretching and twisting movements. It is designed to improve joint mobility, support therapeutic energy rebalance and release lactic acid from tight muscles. Great for improving sports performance and yoga asana practice. The intelligence of the body will maintain greater internal calmness and expansion while allowing a more full asana expression. 60 minutes $75, 75 minutes $95, 90 minutes $110 Zen Shiatsu Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork which brings balance to an individual's life-force (ki), improving the client’s natural healing power. Zen Shiatsu is practiced on a futon; the receiver wearing loose comfortable clothing. A full treatment lasts about 100 minutes. In the short term one should feel an overall sense of integration, more relaxed, lighter, calmer, increased flexibility and energy. Regular shiatsu treatments (every two or four weeks) results in the continued sense of well being and disappearance of minor symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain, recurring colds, etc. For those suffering more serious problems, such as cancer or multiple sclerosis, regular shiatsu treatments can contribute to overall healing by maximizing the body’s natural healing power and minimizing stress. Zen Shiatsu diagnosis is the basis for dietary and life-style recommendations based on macrobiotic principles, summarized at the end of the treatment and emailed to the receiver. These recommendations support the client in participating in the healing process, understanding the imbalance, and preventing recurrence of the condition.
