HEALING ARTS BLUE WAVE A serene beach scene during sunset. A series of footprints lead from the foreground towards the horizon, where the sun is setting, casting a warm glow on the calm waters. The sky is painted in hues of blue and orange, with a few scattered clouds reflecting the sun's light. The beach appears to be wet, possibly due to a recent tide, and the water's surface is smooth, suggesting a long exposure shot.

Services Offered

Massage

Therapeutic massage is designed to promote healing. In our session together, I use a variety of methods to work with releasing stress, fluid and unwanted elements from muscular tissues in order to create comfort, peace, and restore balance to the body. I work in a sanctuary surrounded by nature that allows you to exit the stresses of daily life and truly unwind, to rediscover a sense of personal harmony.

A serene woodland setting with a studio nestled amidst dense foliage. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground. A pathway, bordered by vibrant red flowers, leads to the studio. The studio itself is painted in a muted shade, blending harmoniously with its surroundings. Tall trees, with their trunks and branches, dominate the scene, while the undergrowth is thick with green leaves and shrubs.

Reiki

Experience the healing art of Reiki, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Through gentle touch or near-body hand placements, Reiki practitioners channel universal energy to enhance your body’s natural healing abilities. Whether you seek relief from stress, physical discomfort, or simply wish to enhance your overall well-being, Reiki offers a holistic approach to nurturing mind, body, and spirit.

Energy Healing

(1-1.5 hrs per session) (client is clothed)

Energy Healing is a synthesis of different healing models that combine seamlessly into a powerful methodology for eliminating past trauma. The models I use include process-oriented psychology, core shamanic practices and energy psychology strategies.  The discipline of manual muscle testing (from the field of applied kinesiology) is often incorporated.

Two hands, seemingly placed together in a gesture of meditation. Radiating from between the hands are lines of light or energy, emanating outwards in all directions.

CranioSacral Therapy

(1 hr per session) (client is clothed and on massage table).

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the body.  Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, restrictions are released in the CranioSacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.  Complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

A symmetrical, elongated design that resembles a stylized leaf shaped in a way that symbolizes the cranium in a serene way. It is presented in a monochromatic palette, predominantly in shades of black and white. The design is centrally positioned against a light background, and there's a subtle shadow beneath it, emphasizing its three-dimensionality. The intricate details of the design, such as the fine lines and curves, give it an elegant and sophisticated appearance.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

(Face: 30-45 min per session) (Full Body without Face: 1-1.5 hrs per session) (on massage table, client can be clothed if face only session, undergarments can be worn for full body session).

LDT enables practitioners to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. Therapists simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements in the lymphatic system to activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. The results can include reduced edemas (swelling) of various origins; detoxing the body; regenerated tissue; enhanced anti-aging effects; relief from inflammation; relief from chronic pain; reduced symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia; enhanced antispastic actions to relieve conditions such as muscle hypertonus; enhanced deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality and loss of memory; and alleviated adiposis and cellulite tissue.

A stylized representation of a human figure in a meditative pose. The figure is depicted in a light blue color, with a series of colored circles aligned vertically down the center of the body. The background is a plain white, emphasizing the figure and the circles.
