Hot Stone Massage Therapy

Hot stone massage therapy is a form of massage that uses smooth, heated stones to help relax muscles and ease tension in the body. During a hot stone massage, heated stones are placed on specific points on the body, such as the back, hands, or stomach. The stones may also be used to massage the body, applying gentle pressure to help release tension and promote relaxation. The heat from the stones can help to increase blood flow, improve circulation, reduce muscle stiffness and soreness,improve flexibility and range of motion and also help to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Hot stone massage therapy is often used to treat conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain conditions. It can also be a beneficial therapy for anyone looking to relax and reduce stress. It is important to note that hot stone massage may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, so it is always best to consult with a qualified therapist before undergoing this treatment.

Swedish Massage

A Swedish massage is a more gentle massage that helps you relax. During this massage, your therapist might try using long strokes, kneading, and deeper circular movements.

Deep Massage

A Deep massage involves a little more pressure with slower strokes meant to get to deeper muscle layers and tissue. This might be the type of massage you ask for when you have an injury.

Sports Massage

A Sports massage is very similar to Swedish massage. Athletes who are recovering from injury, and those who might want to prevent injuries, can find benefits in this type of massage.

Trigger Point Massage

A Trigger point massage focuses on areas where there is tightness and tension and works to alleviate that pressure.

Foot Reflexology

Foot reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet. The theory behind foot reflexology is that there are reflex points on the feet that correspond to different parts of the body, including organs, glands, and muscles. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology practitioners believe that they can stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms and promote overall health and well-being.

Foot Massage

Foot massage is a more general term that refers to the manual manipulation of the feet to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Unlike reflexology, foot massage does not involve targeting specific reflex points on the feet, although it can still provide many of the same benefits.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. During a cupping therapy session, heat is applied to the cups to create a vacuum, which creates suction when the cups are placed on the skin. The suction draws the skin and underlying tissues upward into the cup, which can help to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Cupping therapy is often used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and migraines. It is also sometimes used to promote relaxation and improve overall well-being.

Aroma Therapy

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that utilizes the natural scents of essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is based on the belief that certain aromas can have a positive impact on the body and mind. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that capture the essence and fragrance of various plants, flowers, herbs, and trees. These oils are obtained through methods such as steam distillation or cold-pressing. Each essential oil has its own unique aroma and chemical composition, which contributes to its specific therapeutic properties.

Aromatherapy is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, improving sleep quality, and providing relief from certain symptoms. It's important to note that while aromatherapy can be beneficial for many people, it is not a substitute for professional medical care, and individuals with specific health conditions should consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare provider before using essential oils.

Orthopedic Massage Therapy

Orthopedic massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on treating musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. It combines various techniques from different massage modalities, along with principles from orthopedic medicine, to address specific issues related to the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other structures of the body.

Orthopedic massage can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, such as sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, postural imbalances, chronic pain, and rehabilitation after orthopedic surgeries. It aims to reduce pain, improve mobility and function, promote tissue healing, and restore overall musculoskeletal health.

Prenatal Massage Therapy

Prenatal massage, also known as pregnancy massage, is a therapeutic massage modality specifically designed to address the unique needs and discomforts of pregnant women. It is a safe and gentle form of massage that focuses on providing relaxation, pain relief, and support during all stages of pregnancy.

The massage techniques used in prenatal massage are modified to accommodate the safety and comfort of the mother-to-be. These techniques often involve gentle and soothing strokes, with a focus on areas that commonly experience tension and discomfort during pregnancy, such as the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders. Specialized positioning, such as side-lying or using supportive cushions, is employed to ensure the comfort and safety of the pregnant woman.

Reiki

Reiki is a healing technique that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei," which means universal or spiritual, and "Ki," which means life force energy. Reiki is based on the belief that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all living things, and when this energy is blocked or low, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances or illness.

During a Reiki session, the recipient usually lies fully clothed on a treatment table, and the practitioner places their hands on or above different parts of the body, following a specific sequence or intuitively focusing on areas that require attention. The experience is generally gentle and soothing, with many people reporting feelings of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during the session.

Reiki is considered a complementary therapy and is often used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments. It is not associated with any particular religion or belief system and is practiced by people of various backgrounds. The goal of Reiki is to support the body's natural healing abilities and promote overall well-being.

Shamanic Healing, Illumination & Mythic Mapping

Shamanic healing has been practiced for thousands of years by indigenous people around the world to promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Shamanic healing involves working with the energies and spirit guides of the natural world to address physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances.

My Shamanic Healing methods are "The Illumination" and "Mythic Mapping".

The Illumination

"Is the core healing practice of Shamanic energy medicine in which the luminous energy field is cleared of imprints of disease to help mobilize the body's own healing systems." - Alberto Villoldo

This energy healing technique helps transform heavy energies into light and emotional wounds and issues into sources of power and knowledge.

I focus on extracting the undesired energies allowing a break from limiting behaviors and beliefs that can cause traumatic suffering.

Mythic Mapping

Following an Illumination, the mythic mapping allows the person to replace the negative belief with a positive belief.

After the Illumination I will write a statement which allows you to replace the negative belief in the subconscious mind with a strongly positive belief. This statement will be read everyday until the new belief becomes true in your subconscious mind.
