Swedish Massage: |

This style of massage features slow nurturing
strokes which evoke a healing state. This is full-body stress
management massage.
|

|
This style of stroke is slow, deeper,
and helps to loosen tight areas.
|
| |
Pregnancy Massage: |
|
A soothing relaxing Swedish style massage
is helpful throughout pregnancy if there is no history of
miscarriage. The second and third trimester are suggested
if there has been difficulty with past pregnancy. Deeper
strokes may be used in the later months to ease back pain
and muscle cramps in legs. Pillows are used to prop the
client and make the massage comforting nurturing experience
for mother and child. If there is toxemia present then no
massage is suggested. During the first trimester a doctor's
okay is preferred.
|
| |
Reflexology: |
|
Massage performed on the feet and or hands
exclusively is called reflexology. Points on both the hands
and feet correspond with the organs in the body to work
more efficiently and encourage pain relief without actually
touching the painful site elsewhere on the body. The foot
and/or hand massage is quite relaxing and soothing itself.

Why Massage Therapy?
Accumulated stress takes its toll on your good health.
Massage is preventative maintenance for your body.
Massage can restore flexibility, improve circulation,
and help the body raise mood-elevating brain chemicals
such as seratonin.
Massage facilitates the body's own healing processes
by releasing tension and restoring balance.

Oriental medicine supports the theory
that the root cause of all disease
is blocked energy.
|
| |
|
Illness, injury or any other form of
disease presents
you with an opportunity to slow down, take stock of yourself,
examine your situation, reestablish your natural rhythm
and cycle, and nurture yourself.
|
| |
|
A way to support your health and well-being
or relieve disease
is to keep the subtle energy in your meridians flowing
freely.
|
| |
|
|
Massage and
Reiki are both ways to accomplish
this.
