Session Types
Traditional Shiatsu
A holistic hands on approach based on traditional Asian bodywork to balance energy in the body. Traditional Shiatsu focuses on "Ki"
the Japanese word for energy. Easing flowing movements increases flexibility
while hand techniques of varying pressure are used for individual needs. The
"Energy work" balances body, mind, and spirit, relieves stress, lessens
chronic fatigue. Shiatsu has positive results with back, neck and shoulder
pain. A specially designed low table will be used for the session. Massage
oils are not used. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
Shiatsu Lessons: Tutorials, private sessions or classes may be scheduled for your work, business or school. Structure will be designed with your needs and requirements.
Thai Yoga Massage
This ancient therapy from
Thailand integrates Yoga from India, Acupressure from China, and meditation
from the Buddhist Monks of Thailand. Orchestrated with smooth flowing
movements this massage is further elevated with interactive bodywork. The
Practitioner provides suggestions while the client remains passive during
stretches and yoga poses. Thai Yoga revitalizes the body, stretches the
muscles, and facilitate energy flow. Traditional Thai Yoga Massage will be
on a table in the traditional method. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
Holistic Blend
Holistic Blend is a combination of
both Shiatsu and Thai Yoga Massage. These treatments may be combined for
your individual needs. As with the above therapies you may receive
therapeutic exercise(s) as a tool to help you in the process for your goals.
Stretching Refined
Receive individualized
instructions, demonstrations and assisted stretches. Stretching Refined
originated from Sotai, Muscle Energy Techniques, and influences from Yoga.
They will help flexibility and movement: range of motion, realign and
balance your body. A specifically designed low table will be used, wear or
bring comfortable clothing.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Treatment incorporates
rhythmic flowing movements for the lymph fluids to travel through the body.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a natural way to dispose of toxins, metabolic
waste, relieve swelling, improve circulation, and feeling whole. Working
towards the lymph nodes, part of the immune system with lymphocytes (white
blood cells), helps protect the body from bacteria, viruses, and infection. A
consultation of 5-10 minutes for your first visit will be given and provide
you the choice of receiving a traditional Eastern or Western approach.
More About Shiatsu...
Shiatsu is a subtle art,
encompassing the whole person as the platform to being in touch with the Body-Mind-Spirit. This form of Shiatsu I use is based on traditional acupuncture principles to balance energy in the body (however needles are not used) and therefore is a holistic hands-on approach. Shiatsu may also include therapeutic exercise, meditation or recommendations if requested.
