Massages are more than just a means to achieve relaxation and ease discomforts. Massage therapy can also improve circulation and muscle tone, flush out toxins and bring nutrients to tissues. Therapists help release emotional tension and promote physical health by detecting and treating discomforts in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. What types of massages are offered? Licensed massage therapists specialize in a variety of full-body massage techniques, including Swedish, deep-tissue, sports and pregnancy massage, and myofascial release. Healing Touch
Healing Touch is a biofield therapy that uses touch to influence the energy field that surrounds the body. These non-invasive techniques restore harmony and balance to the biofield allowing the client to self heal. How can it benefit me? An hour session of Healing Touch can promote healing that is physical (symptom relief, faster wound healing), emotional (less anxiety or fear), mental (mind clarity, relaxation), and/or spiritual (meditation, connection with your higher self). Reiki
Reiki is a technique used for relaxation and stress reduction that also promotes healing. The conscious mind is invited to rest, giving the unconscious mind the opportunity to do its healing work more efficiently. It is used for maintaining positive wellness and to help the healing process. Call 443 481-5360. |
