Cupping

 A great modality to reduce and/or eliminate the pain and tension associated with chronic conditions affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.  Cupping involves the use of a glass cup and suction to pull muscle tissue away from the body, (the exact opposite of massage) loosening tissue at a very deep level.  Clients have reported relief from a variety of chronic complaints utilizing cupping as a bodywork technique including:

•Back pain •Neck pain •Shoulder pain •Joint pain (Tennis elbow, Golfers elbow) •Tendonitis •Knee & Ankle pain •Foot pain (Plantar fasciosis)

_{(Qi) Energy Work}

Sometimes referred to as Reiki, Energy Work or Healing Touch, Qi Therapy is a holistic healing technique that soothes the mind, body and spirit.  The body's energy channels, or meridians, are balanced to loosen blocked and stagnated energy and enhance the circulation of Qi within the channels. 

Animal Care

On site care for animals.  Utilizing Qi healing, healing touch, and bodywork techniques for animals that have been wounded or are experiencing pain. Studies report that Qi healing can help wounds heal 50% quicker than the normal time frame.  My experience is that it does more than that. In addition to reducing or eliminating pain, I have found it to work on digestive problems, neurological problems and problems of "unknown causes".  I have also utilized Himalayan salt soaks, Essential oils, Custom Herbal Formulas and Nature's Apothocary Chinese Herbal Healing Products.  Prices vary depending on the animal and location.  Call 609-774-3028 for a consult.

Raindrop Technique

This Integrated Energy Therapy was developed based on a Native American Legend involving energy medicine and the cleansing of the mind, body and soul.  The legend, combined with a synergistic approach to healing utilizing essential oils and acupressure, became what is now known as Raindrop technique.  Approximately 11-13 therapeutic grade essential oils are placed on the spine in a "Falling Raindrop" fashion. This technique was designed to kill viral and bacterial pathogens, reduce inflammation, support the immune system, ease respiratory discomfort, relax stressed muscles, curb digestive upset and relieve joint discomfort.   Additionally, the treatment has been known to balance energy, lift the spirit, restore calm and increase the ability to concentrate.                  

Note: For centuries essential oils have been considered a therapeutic and rejuvenating botanical extract.  This is only true when therapeutic grade essential oils are used.  Most oils are compromised through commercialism.  I use only therapeutic grade oils.

 Hot Stone Massage

Smooth basalt river stones are heated up and used to glide over your skin to warm up and relax muscle tissue.  A Hot Stone Massage dissolves stress and melts through tension like no other kind of massage.  It's a totally relaxing and meditative experience bordering on understanding the mind, body, spirit connection.
