Living in Balance

Modality Descriptions

The subtle types of therapies I offer are safe, gentle and non-invasive. It is not massage nor is it based on any religious beliefs or suggestions. For all of these therapies, wear loose comfortable clothing. 

They are all wonderful stand alone therapies and some can be combined to help you achieve specific results. They can also be used in many situations where massage would not be appropriate such as open wounds, infectious illnesses and cancer. It is also very useful for depression and exhaustion.

It is believed that when a person's subtle and energetic systems are strong and free flowing, the body and mind are in a positive state of health. When the systems become weak or blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional symptoms of imbalance and dis-ease.

CranioSacral Therapy
Chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and central nervous system disorders are prime candidates for this gentle therapy. Using a light touch I monitor the rhythm of the cranial sacral system to detect restrictions and imbalances, then release the problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord.

High Touch®  Jin Shin Jyutsu
Using light touch, my fingertips are held on pairs of points to stimulate and balance your body's meridian system, much like placing a jumper cable on a weak battery. We open the pathways, allowing the energy to flow freely once again, so that your body can regenerate and restore.
 
Quantum Touch®
A profoundly effective and subtle form of hands-on healing. I create a high-energy field between my hands, directing the energy into the area to be healed. Your innate body intelligence will do whatever your body deems useful to cause healing or alignments to occur.
  
Reflexology
I send intentional messages to the nervous system through the feet when you are stressed, injured, or overworked. As a result, reflexology encourages "internal relaxation" to your body systems - something that no other modality can do. While massage works with and massages the structure muscles of the body, a reflexologist works with the systems of the body. As the body's waste crystals are broken from the nerve endings (there are over 7,000 nerve endings in our feet), relaxation occurs, toxins are ridded, circulation is increased and nerve blockages are diminished to internal body functions.

Reiki
Reiki utilizes life force energy to promote wellness through stress reduction and relaxation. This is a very relaxing and nurturing modality, achieved through a series of hand placements on or above your body.

EMF Balancing Technique®
This is primarily hands-off energy work, as much of the clearing and balancing is done in your electro-magnetic field around your body. This is a powerful tool for transformation.  

Electromagnetic field balancing offers a gentle way to clear old patterns directly and efficiently from the system. When painful memories, for example, are stuck anywhere in the system, the energy charge they hold tends to produce repetitive fear-based behaviors due to the past trauma and this, of course, holds you back and creates excess stress (emotional, mental or physical). When the energy is released, you are "free" to make new, supportive choices and find new levels of energy within yourself. Your decisions will then be based on the wisdom of both the mind and the heart, in balance. (Phases I & II)
 
As you step into your own power and wisdom and learn to trust your intuition even more, you are able to move further outside the box of your rational mind and into the world of possibilities. It allows you to see beyond what is and into the realm of what can be. This is the birthplace of creative thought and driving force behind creative action. Hold your core of power, light and love in daily life. (Phase III)
 
Standing in your pillar of core strength, with the wisdom and support of your life experiences, is an incredibly powerful place to move forward from. Stepping out to create the things you want to experience in your life is to move into a more passionate way of being. (Phase IV) What is it that brings up those bubbles of joy from deep within you? What makes your heart sing? What feeds your soul?
 
These first four phases, or sessions, are a foundation upon which to build a more conscious, empowered life. Whether you do just one session or the whole series, the results will speak for themselves. Is it time for you to take charge of your life and have more of what you really want?
 
Taking it a step further, the focus of Phases V-VIII is the practice of mastery in everyday life. You are the one that defines what attributes you most want to develop within yourself, be it Compassion, Joyfulness, Patience, Communication… These phases strengthen the energetic patterns of mastery and lead to a fuller expression of the attributes of mastery you already carry within you. 

I will be attending the first class to become a Practitioner of Phases IX-XII in June, 2008.

Movement Re-education Bodywork
Pain, stiffness or movement limitations are often the result of trauma, stress, movement habits, injury, illnesses, stuffed emotions, fears or self-imposed limitations. This type of bodywork utilizes gentle rocking and stretching movements to encourage the release of these patterns, enabling you to regain your mobility and flexibility in a painless way. Deeply Realxing!
 
LaStone®  Therapy
Tension melts away as the hot basalt stones encourage relaxation and circulation. The cold marble stones decreases inflammation and help break the pain cycle. Together, this "vascular gymnastics" of the circulatory system assists the body in its healing process.
 
Aromatherapy
Medicinal quality essential oils are used to calm, balance and rejuvenate the individual. When applied topically, they are absorbed through the skin and are transported through the body via the circulatory system. It is at the cell level that they can affect the physical body. When inhaled, the molecules affect the limbic system, via the olfactory nerve receptors. The limbic system is the core of emotion and memory, among other things. The connection between our emotional health and physical health is well known.
