We offer a variety of services which can be experienced individually, or in some cases, combined. Do it because you deserve it!
*Reiki
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word
representing universal life energy, the energy that is all around us.
It is derived from rei, meaning "free passage" or "transcendental
spirit" and ki, meaning "vital life force energy" or "universal life
energy."
Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that is
becoming increasingly popular worldwide. The art and science was
formulated and rediscovered in the late 1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is
currently recognized and supported by many Western medicine hospital
systems, including the Cleveland Clinic, to treat cancer, Parkinson's,
Alzheimer's, autoimmune diseases, and depression/anxiety. It is also
utilized in hospice centers, spas, and nursing homes to aid in the
relief of pain and stress from various ailments. It is very beneficial
post-surgery.
Reiki involves the transfer of energy from
practitioner to patient to enhance the body's natural ability to heal
itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki utilizes specific
techniques for restoring and balancing the natural life force energy
within the body. It is a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing
system that touches on all levels: body, mind, and spirit. Treatments are generally done on a massage table with the client fully clothed, and can even be done with very little physical contact if desired. Reiki can be combined with any other healing arts service.

*Thai Massage
Thai Massage, or Thai Yoga Massage, is a
traditional modality practiced in Thailand for centuries. Based on
Ayurvedic medicine and yoga, this art form has been handed down for 2200
years. In Thailand, people regularly receive this treatment as a type
of maintenance to stay healthy. Thai Massage is a component of Thai
medicine and is used to treat various illnesses and dis-ease.A complete Thai massage includes acupressure, energy
meridian work, and yoga-like stretching for an invigorating experience.
Thai massage is different from other forms of massage in that there is
no oil used (except on the head and neck), that the masseur uses a
mattress on the floor (instead of a table), and that you remain clothed
throughout the session. In Thai work, one will experience more
stretching of limbs and acupressure and not as much sweeping muscular
work, as in a relaxation massage. It is often described as "assisted
yoga" or having someone "do yoga to you". It has also been described as a
flowing dance between masseur and client, particularly when the client
completely lets go, allowing his/her body to be passive while it is
being moved around.
Thai massage improves circulation, flexibility, and
muscle tone, complimenting any exercise routine. The acupressure and
stretching is very helpful to those who are stiff, sore, and tired from
over-exertion in work, sports, or arthritis and other disorders. It
relaxes sore tense muscles, and helps mobilize joints that have lost
their range of motion. It also encourages lymphatic function,
strengthening the immune system. Thai massage will stimulate the mind
and body, promoting the body's own healing ability. One can receive all
of the benefits of yoga or Tai Chi within a Thai massage.
Anyone can get Thai massage! The massage can be done
according to your own needs and flexibility. Just be sure to tell your
practitioner in advance of ANY sensitivities, injuries, or conditions
you have! Also, communication is KEY. Feel free to tell the masseur when
you need more or less pressure or stretch.
$6o for 1 hour or $80 for full treatment (lasts between 90 & 120 minutes)
