Throughout this session we will focus on achieving a state of deep relaxation while also working to relieve areas of pain or tension with a blend of massage techniques. Your therapist will use a tailored combination of modalities including Swedish Massage, Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Release, and Reflexology to target areas of concern and foster healing.
During this time the therapist will work exclusively with the feet and/or hands. This is an excellent service for anyone who may have contraindications for full body massage, or who wishes to remain clothed.
Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet or hands. According to reflexology theory, zones of the feet/hands correspond to the rest of the body (as though the body were mapped out upon the surface) and by working along those zones, the practitioner can affect deep relaxation, integration, and healing for the body.
Due to the intuitive nature of this work, session length may vary slightly. (short session is about an hour, long session about an hour and half)
This session is specifically tailored for the needs of the expectant or post-partum mother. Adjustments in technique, bolstering, and focus will be made to provide a safe and relaxing environment where we can address the unique demands this time puts on your body.
Your specially trained therapist will tailor a session taking into consideration your specific needs along your cancer journey. Each session will work with you and your body as they arrive that day. Specific adjustments to the massage can be made on the fly as necessary, including changes in pressure, position on the table, special bolstering needs, consideration of lymphedema concerns, and more. This is generally a gentle massage designed to promote deep relaxation and re-integration of the body/mind/spirit. As this session generally requires a longer conversation to carefully plan the massage, and as tolerance to massage changes along your cancer journey, be mindful that the session length may vary from session to session. (short session is about an hour, long session about an hour and half)
An excellent way to add therapeutic heat to your massage session, we will use heated basalt stones (common to the finger lakes) to warm muscles and soft tissue allowing for deeper release of tension. The therapist will massage the body with the stones to your pressure preference along with other techniques integrated seamlessly during the session to address any areas of concern. The result is a luxurious treatment with lasting therapeutic impact.
Due to its full body warming nature, hot stone massage is not indicated for those who are pregnant, have high (uncontrolled) blood pressure, a history of clotting issues, heat sensitivities, or some autoimmune conditions. Check with your therapist before the session with any concerns you may have.
***Please note that due to set up time, hot stone massage is not available for the first appointment of the day, and cannot be added to the session less than 2 hours before your scheduled appointment.***
This tradition of Reiki is an energy modality brought from Japan by Hawayo Takata, which brings balance to the energy system of the body. As a result of this technique, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, we work directly with your energy field to affect healing on a pre-physical level. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands, or holding to allow Qi (life force energy) to flow from the universe, through the practitioner, and into your energy body.
Due to the intuitive nature of this work, length of session may vary. Short session is about an hour, long about an hour and a half.
Utilizing crystals and minerals laid on/around the body we can address various health/energy concerns in a minimum-touch session. Common lay-outs are designed to assist with headaches, structural integration, injury recovery, chakra balancing, or cleansing. The therapist will generally use subtle energy techniques while you relax into your lay-out.
When booking your appointment, please be prepared to briefly discuss your goals for the session, so that the proper crystals can be selected and preparations be arranged. Be advised that some lay-outs can be quite intense depending upon the needs of the body. Plan some time after your appointment to relax and ground prior to driving home.
Despite a lack of scientific study, anecdotal evidence suggests that the use of crystals in combination with massage or energy work promotes a deeper sense of relaxation, integration, and healing.
Session length may vary slightly - short is about an hour, long about an hour and a half. Added to a massage, the layout will be placed either prior to or following the hands-on time depending upon your needs, adding to the session length.
The Sanskrit word, "chakra", translates as "wheel". In Ayurvedic tradition, Chakras are energy wheels or pools in/on the body. The seven main chakras of the body lie centrally, following the spine from its base to the top of the head. They are conceptualized in a rainbow of colours (red at the base, white or purple at the top), and are felt to spin/vibrate at increasing speeds as you move from the root (bottom) to the crown (top). It is believed that different events, experiences, illnesses, or traumas can slow, block, over-open, or close some or all of the chakras. This energetic imbalance can eventually affect the physical body, manifesting as various dis-eases, pains, or discomforts.
This session utilizes crystals and energy techniques to bring balance back to the chakras, ideally optimizing the flow of energy from universe to earth and from earth to universe, through you - spirit made manifest.
Due to the highly intuitive nature of this work, session length may vary slightly. Plan on about an hour in the treatment room, but also plan some time after to relax and ground before driving home as sometimes this work is intense, leaving you slightly disoriented at first.
Plan your ultimate healing session. We can tailor the time just for you by combining offerings from multiple arenas. As each of our therapies complement and enhance each other, we can hyper-focus to address your areas of concerns (such as migraines), or approach your self holistically as body/mind/spirit re-integrate to provide better focus and a lightening of experience.
