Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle technique

(with little pressure), which encourages the natural drainage of your lymph (by flushing out toxins), which supports a healthy immune system. It helps to reduce swelling (edema) and detoxifies the body.

When lymph circulation stagnates, fluid build up can cause physical problems such as inflammation, edema, acne and neuropathy. 

This is a great massage to relieve congested lymph and edema from recent trauma, or surgery 

(such as mastectomy, breast augmentation/reconstruction, tummy tucks & "mommy makeovers")

Aromatherapy uses the art and science of essential oils.  These oils come from the essence of plants and are very fragrant. EO's are too concentrated to be used undiluted on the skin and therefore will typically be diluted with a carrier oil (such as aloe- vera, jojoba, coconut, grape seed) 

to lessen the chance of any skin irritation. 

Many essential oils are proven to be antiviral, antibacterial, 

antimicrobial, antiseptic,

anti-inflammatory  &

natural disinfectants..  I create  my own pure therapeutic blends.

Focused work on these 

key areas that are the most worked muscles of the body that get tight, achy and hold stress.  This massage will ease your tension in those areas.

Swedish (or relaxation massage) can be modified to your specific needs.

Light to medium pressure is applied to gently knead the tissue to promote relaxation.

It is not designed for working the deeper muscles of the body. 

If you prefer deep pressure, you can try cupping

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years. It is believed that by creating suction using cups on specific points of your body, the life force within can be restored to its equilibrium and improve illness.  Cupping can reduce pain, inflammation, increase blood circulation and lymphatic flow, decrease high blood pressure, promotes healing and relaxation, and calms the nervous system.

This cupping is incorporated into regular massage techniques.

** Please note: 

 cupping marks (round circles or stroke marks that will consist of red/purple color) may last from 4-14 days  depending on your skin sensitivity & tension release.**

Traditional Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. 

It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us.

 If one's life force energy (Chi, Ki, Qi, Prana) is low, then we are more likely to get sick, stress, anxiety. If it is high, we are more happy and healthy.

Translated, Reiki is 

"spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki feels like a wonderful 

radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being. 

Reiki is a natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that we can all benefit.

Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, 

which are universal across all cultures.

Gua Sha is an ancient pain-relieving healing 'scraping' technique. It releases stuck energy (i.e. pain) from beneath the skin to promote Qi and blood flow.

Gua Sha helps to relieve aches, pains, muscle strains, carpel tunnel syndrome, tight IT bands, plantar fasciitis, colds, flu, allergies, and more.

Gua Sha is a very effective healing technique. 

**Please note:

 Gua Sha marks (reddish-purple "scraping/drag" lines) on your skin are normal and should disappear in

 about 3-7 days after treatment
