Sacred Hot Stone Massage (65 minutes)

The Hot Stone Therapy provides a deep, warm, nurturing massage that is applied with smooth, round river rocks to activate deep relaxation within the muscles. Warm stones are placed upon the acupuncture meridians along the spine and on the chakra centers of the body. Aromatic essential oils prepare your skin to receive the long, soothing strokes of both the hands and stones. A grounding ritual is included that will bring a sense of inner peace.

Sacred Movement Therapy (65 minutes)

Excellent detoxifying therapy. This healing bodywork technique was developed by Joe Martin, LMBT and is unique in that it addresses six essential components of the body:

• The Joints
• The Lymph
• The Blood
• The Organs
• The Muscles
• The Chi Energy

Sacred Movement Therapy begins with rhythmic movement of the sacrum that creates an energy vibration throughout the entire body. The movement continues throughout the massage, stimulating the flow of chi, blood, and lymph as every muscle is gently relaxed. Every joint is passively manipulated and lubricated to bring about a feeling of openness. Toward the end of the massage, a Chinese abdominal technique soothes the organs and activates the flow of chi from the dan tien (vital energy center). This massage is performed on the bare skin with little or no lubricant.

No-Body Massage (35 minutes)

A No-Body Massage is a soothing massage of the hands, feet, head, neck and shoulders, everything but the body, helping to relieve stress and producing a feeling of balanced well-being. Many of these ancient massage techniques originated in the East and concentrate on those areas most vulnerable to stress, helping to relieve tension and revive the spirit.

Chi Nei Tsang: Chinese Abdominal Massage (65 minutes)

Chinese Abdominal Massage is a holistic approach to massage therapy treating the person as a whole, integrating physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. It goes to the very origin of health problems, integrating the mind and the body.
Work is done mainly on the abdomen with deep, soft, gentle touch, to train internal organs to work more efficiently. CNT promotes the absorption of nutrients and stimulates elimination. It stimulates the immune system, provides deep detoxification of the body and helps overcome addictions. All of the main vital body systems are addressed: digestion, respiration, lymph, nervous, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, integumentary, muscular and also the acupuncture meridian system.

Chakra Balancing (50 minutes)

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed.
These chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system. The functioning of the chakras reflects decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our life. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think and feel, and through which perceptual filter we choose to experience the world around us.
No physical manipulation is involved. Only a light touch, if any, is used when it does not conflict with someone's philosophies or sensitivities.

Reiki (50 minutes)

This is the Japanese word for "universal life force energy." It is an ancient approach in which the practitioner serves as a conduit for healing energy coming from the universe. The Reiki energy enters the practitioner through the top of the head or the bottoms of the feet and exits through the hands, being directed into the body or energy field of the recipient. Reiki is a very subtle form of healing and may be done through clothing and without any physical contact between practitioner and client.
