Acupuncture
Using the diagnostic system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture uses extremely thin, sterile needles and other techniques to access Qi ('energy' - pronounced 'chee') through a network of meridians or energy pathways in the body. The goal is to bring excess and deficiency into a state of balance, supporting a strengthened immune system. Look for Annie's or Elizabeth's schedule on the events calendar.
Craniosacral Massage
Based on the work of 20th-century Osteopathic physician William Sutherland, this subtle therapy employs light, sustained touch that facilitates free and rhythmic movement of the craniosacral system which includes bones, nerves, fluids, and connective tissue of the cranium and spinal areas. The goal is to achieve a state of balance, allowing for better immune response and overall health. Look for Justine's or Malina's schedule on the events calendar.
Facial Rejuvenation
This therapy works to tone facial muscles, nourish skin, stimulate nerve function and renew body and spirit. Through gentle massage techniques activating energy points on the head and face, facial rejuvenation seeks to promote a state of balance. Look for Malina's schedule on the events calendar.
Healing Touch
Healing Touch is a holistic energy therapy that emphasizes compassionate, heart-centered care in which the provider and client are equal partners in facilitating health and healing. Gentle, non-invasive touch influences and supports the energy system within and surrounding the body to restore harmony, energy and balance. Look for the healing touch schedule on the events calendar.
Manual Lymph Drainage & Complete Decongestive Therapy
Lymph drainage is a precise, gentle therapy that helps reduce the swelling and pain that may arise when the lymphatic circulation has been disrupted. Lymphedema management is completed by appropriate compression bandaging or garments when needed, skin care, therapeutic exercise and education in self-care. Look for Justine's schedule on the events calendar.
Massage
Massage therapy is recognized as one of the oldest methods of healing, with references in medical texts nearly 4,000 years old. Massage uses various techniques to manipulate muscles and soft tissue, increase range and ease of motion, and improve circulation. The aim of massage is to promote well-being through decreased pain and tension, increased relaxation and ease. Look for Beth, Justine, Denise or Malina on the events calendar.
Reiki
Loosely translated, Reiki means universal or spiritually–guided life-force energy. Practiced throughout Asia, it is used to promote balance and reduce stress through light touch on or near the body in specific patterns or positions. See Frank's schedule on the events calendar.
Shiatsu
A traditional Japanese modality similar to acupressure, shiatsu uses pressure points and gentle stretching to address energy imbalances that contribute to pain and illness. It works to strengthen the immune system, reduce stress, and balance energies. See Michael's schedule on the events calendar.
