Swedish
Relaxing massage for stress-management & pain relief achieved through gentle strokes which are smooth & gliding. Stretching, rocking, kneading, friction & tapping may be employed. The heart is rested while an increase of oxygen flows through the bloodstream releasing toxins (lactic acid, uric acid & metabolic waste). Ligaments & tendons are lengthened helping maintain their suppleness & pliability. The skin & nervous system are soothed.
Deep Tissue
Chronic patterns of tension are released from deep layers of muscle tissue through massage strokes which are both slow & direct through pressure & friction upon the fibers of muscles, tendons & fascia. An effective technique for tree-climbers, athletes, those who are extra physical or lead sedentary lives and also anyone who has on-going pain they would like to manage.
Hot Stone
Heated living stones are placed along the spine, hands, feet & key muscles to soften & relax tension. Gentle massage with acupressure fascilitaties muscle unwind, deep rest & energetic balancing. Deeply relaxing.
Chakra Crystal
Vedic breathwork, sound & yantra with ayurvedic oil massage. Crystals, color & marma point energization (massage on key energy points) loosen knots in the triune self. Flowing finishing strokes clear energy blockages through chakras (main energy wheels of emotional self that connects to spirit & body) & nadis (literally, rivers. Channels of subtle & super-subtle energy).
