Rolfing Series
Rolfing is a scientifically validated system of restructuring the human body. It releases the body from life-long patterns of tension, and allows gravity to naturally realign your movements for optimum health and well-being. This deep and somewhat painful therapy is highly effective for improving posture, reducing or eliminating chronic pain, and releasing long-term emotional and mental stress.
The series is a journey that agree to embark upon. I take clients through 12 sessions of lifechanging bodywork that CHANGES you. How you will change, is up to your intention for the work.
Look we are changing the way you walk, the way you stand, the way you feel yourself. That takes time and effort. What does a session look like?
Walking: Your gonna walk, and I am going to watch. Why, you ask? I need to see how you move, so we can make changes. You need to feel how you move so you can experience these changes.
Emotional Awareness: Your patterns are also tied into your psychosomatic experience, emotions affecting the physical and vice versa. A collapsed walk, can also have a feeling of sadness, like Charlie Brown. This healing crosses multiple dimensions of you life. It's holistic.
Gravity: Overall, the healer here is gravity. Gravity affects all of you, collapses you or uplifts you. These sessions work with you in whole body patterns, to allow gravity to flow through you, and not against you! From toes to tongue, from organs to tailbone, we will find the restrictions, release them, integrate your body to become a whole, and let you feel the changes so YOU CAN EMBODY THEM.
CranioSacral (SM)
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.
Client's report feeling a dream like state, where the consciousness enters the subconscious space. The therapist provides small manipulations, barely noticeable, but effective to influence the flow, potency, and rhythm of the craniosacral fluid.
Useful for trauma, injuries to the spine or tailbone or head, heachaches, migraine, tinnitus, TMJ, Endocrine and nervous system pathologies as well.
Energy Work
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, that flows within them like rivers emptying into the ocean all around. The body needs to sustain this life force, continuing the flow to keep the optimum health.
Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
I use a combination of different modalities under my belt, including emotional release, reiki, and elemental healing. I am a big fan of using the elements to restore balance to the body, or to move your being forward into embracing the difficulties you may be facing with grace.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
My sessions use breathwork, awareness and feeling, and a customized treatment tailored to your needs to offer you the best massage I can. I use myofascial release and deep tissue techniques to offer you a combination of relaxation and effective pain relief.
Visceral Manipulation
This modality is quite new to the area, and a new offering for me. In my studies mentoring with Canadian osteopaths I learned the power the organs have into influencing the pains and discomforts your body experiences.
My work in this case is two fold, to energetically affect the health of the organ using combination of craniosacral therapy and energetic healing that is available to me. Secondly, we will manipulate the surrounding tissue that is often considered to be symptomatic, and causing problems, such as a shoulder in dysfunction because the lungs are weak.
This service is for open-hearted explorers, willing to take further responsibility for their healing.
Fix-It Sessions
Sometimes we don't need a lot of bodywork, but we just need some maintenance to help us get over the hump, ya know?
A Fix-it session is for the eager beaver that has a nagging injury, problem, or maybe just wants to see what I am all about.
I combine therapies, both physical and energetic, to get you moving into the right direction.
