Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, myofascia release and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Swedish massage with hot rocks and using aromatherapy on specific points on the spine to boost the immune system and relax the body
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body.
I also use the Rapid Release Tool which is an innovative technology, using high-frequency/low amplitude vibrations to release trigger points.
I am trained in TMD massage and Dolphin MPS TMJ acupressure:
Not everyone has TMD (dysfunction in their jaw joints) but because it is the most used joint in our body you can hold a lot of tension in that area. By releasing the jaw muscles it can relax the entire body and even help with anxiety
Using acupressure points on the face, ears, neck and low back with the Dolphin MPS protocol it can relieve joint pain, muscle spasms and help to bring down inflammation related to TMD
This technique might also involve me doing releases inside your mouth and under your tongue.
Other issues that TMD may cause that I can help with
Auriculotherapy
Is used all all over the world to treat pain, addictions, weight loss, insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure with great results.
I search for active points on the ear or use set protocols to treat what you need, then place ear seeds that you can press on to activate the points to continue the treatment at home until you come back in for another visit.
*Cold stone can be added if you would like let me know when you book your massage*
Facial and head massage can help with fine lines, puffiness under the eyes, relax the nervous system, as well as helping with insomnia, neck, shoulder pain and headaches.
It does contain some lymphatic massage, as well as acupressure points to help relax the muscles of your face, as most folks hold a lot of tension in their face, head and neck
*Because of the lymphatic system being drained it is important that if you have any medical conditions: heart conditions, kidney issues, active cancer, viruses of any kind that you get approval from your medical doctor before setting an appointment*
Scars and Trauma influence nerves, meridians, fascia and circulation, upregulating the Autonomic Nervous System.
Scars can influence pain patterns and can create adhesions inside the body which reduce muscle and organ performance, produce pain and dysfunction.
Scars block blood circulation and energetic flows through the acupressure meridian system, producing energy stagnation
Scars can cause adhesions to form as they are healing and even years later, by using the Dolphin Neurostim MPS to release the scars you release the fascia and muscles so that they move more freely, stopping pain in your neck, back or sometimes C -Section scars can cause adhesions to form that obstruct the small bowel, a condition where the intestinal tract is kinked and twisted by adhesions. When they connect to our fascia, they can pull muscles and pinch nerves This can limit our ability to move freely, and heighten the sensitivity of the autonomic nervous system, which controls our pain.
By using the MPS Scar Release protocol I apply to each side of the scar, it transfers gentle, DC microcurrent deep into the tissue of the skin. When the microcurrent enters the body, it releases the thickened scar tissue, as well as the fascia, muscles and can help in down regulating your nervous system. Once release circulation is increased, which in turn helps the lymphatic system and encourages blood flow and healing to your body.
This will help to get you out of pain and move more freely.
Scars tissues either from surgery (c-section, appendectomy, hysterectomy to name a few), burns or accidents can also soften from being released by using MPS therapy
Dolphin Neurostim/MPS Therapy taught
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
