A Reflexology treatment is performed on the hands & feet to relieve congested areas and to promote better health. Reflexology works to help heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms. What is reflexology?
Royal Danish Salt Rub
This is passed on from the masseuse of the Danish royalty in Copenhagen. Using hot water and sea salt, the body is wet down with flaxen mittens and the skin is rubbed acting as an exfoliant and detoxifier. This treatment is followed by a refreshing shower.
Lymphatic massage is a soothing treatment that stimulates the lymph system to carry away excess fluid in loose connective tissues, removing metabolic waste and toxins. It also produces white bood cells that keep you healthy as they fight off disease. Lymphatic massage is good for swelling, headaches, acne, congestion, immune system deficiency, post-mastectomy pain and its associated adhesions.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu means "finger pressure." It is a noninvasive form of acupressure massage involving pressure and strokes to oriental acupoints all over the body that alleviate muscle tension and stress, balancing the body's internal energy. A typical session is conducted on a mat, or massage table. No oil is used.
CranioSacral therapy uses soft touch -- holding -- to coax skull and face bones to release tension and promote correct skeletal alignment. This therapy can be used on people with whiplash, back injuries, severe menstrual problems, migraines, temporomandibular joint syndrome, or multiple sclerosis. It can be perfomed in combination with other bodywork modalities or on its own.
European Dry Brush Massage
Sometimes called a "dry brush bath", this form of hydrotherapy does not use any water. It is a gentle exfoliation treatment where the student uses soft bristle brushes to massage the body. It feels like being preened.
Swedish massage stimulates blood and lymph circulation, relieves common muscle tension or soreness and promotes relaxation. It combines gentle stroking movements with kneading, pressing, rubbing with thumbs, fingers or heel of the hands. Swedish massage is exceptionally effective on stress.
This is an excellent pre-treatment for tight, stiff, achy muscles. Hot sauna rocks w/eucalyptus are placed on your back from the base of the neck down to the sacrum. Weight from the rocks applies gentle pressure to oriental acupoints to balance all the major organ systems of the body, while their radiating warmth relaxes and soothes tight muscles.
Acupressure Facial
Following basic principles of Oriental Medicine, this facial incorporates many acupoints on the scalp, face, neck, shoulders and chest to tonify muscles, enhance beauty, relieve aches and pains, strengthen the senses, and create easier breathing. Since no oils are used, your makeup is not disturbed. It's a perfect splurge.
This differs from the Oriental Hot Rocks therapy in that these stones are small enough to fit the palm of the hand while the student performs shiatsu massage to acupoints on the back side of the body.
Energy Based Modalities
Reiki
Practitioners of this ancient healing system use light hand placements to channel healing energies to the recipient. While practitioners may vary widely in technique and philosophy, Reiki is commonly used to treat emotional and mental distress as well as chronic and acute physical problems, and to assist the recipient in achieving spiritual focus and clarity. Sometimes masssage and Reiki are blended together by the practitioner.
