Reflexology
Massage Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers
of the body. It is a science that deals with the principle that there
are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all of the glands,
organs and parts of the body. A reflexologist uses the hands to apply
gentle pressure to the feet, hands, or in some cases ears, of the client.
For each person the application and the effect of the therapy may be unique.
Pressure is applied to these areas, formed by approximately 7,200 nerve
endings in each hand and each foot. Stimulating these reflexes properly
can improve the flow of healing energy to the corresponding areas. This
non-invasive technique persuades the body to naturally correct, strengthen
and reinforce itself.

Deep
Tissue Massage Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses
on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic
patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure
on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's
of the muscles, tendons and fascia. The purpose is to "unstick"
the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension,
removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective
and therapeutic.

Reiki
Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Energy
Healing involves direct application of Chi, or Universal Life Force Energy,
for the purpose of strengthening the clients energy system (aura). A Reiki
treatment consists of the practitioner placing his or her hands on the
clients body having only the intent for the energy to flow. There is no
complicated rituals to perform. Only the simple exchange of energy between
two or more people. Only the simple intent to share healing. Only the
desire to ease the burdens of another and the willingness to receive.
