Wise Touch Healing ~ Integrated Bodywork
A meditative, flowing, oil-based massage drawing from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Energy Work, Myofascial Release and Thai Massage.

Myofascial Release and Unwinding (MFR):
A variety of techniques including deep and subtle touch, craniosacral work, stretching techniques, and movement ("unwinding") are used to release chronic holding patterns in the muscular and fascial systems to eliminate pain and facilitate opening. Used to treat back/ neck pain, headaches, recurring sports injuries and scoliosis, among other conditions.

Deep Tissue:
Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue and the fascia. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep pressure on the tense, traumatized or constricted areas.

Thai Massage:
A millennia-old, sacred form of bodywork, used to elongate the spine, decompress the body and relieve tension while balancing the mind, body and spirit. A gentle rhythmic, rocking motion is used as the body is stretched and pressure applied along energy lines. The techniques used resemble acupressure, passive yoga therapy, and reflexology. Traditionally done fully clothed on a floor mat.

Reflexology:
Stimulating the "reflex" points of the feet is an ancient Egyptian healing art that affects the health of the entire of the body.  Pressure is applied to various points of the foot which relate to other parts of the body, encouraging detoxification of organs, relaxation and pain reduction. 

Prenatal Massage:

We are trained to work safely with pregnant women.  Aches, pains and tension will melt away through a combination of Swedish massage and energywork.   Prenatal massage can be received at any point during your pregnancy.

Energy Work:
Incorporating techniques from Reiki, polarity and energy balancing, a flow of subtle energy is facilitated to areas of tension, trauma and injury. Blocked energy in the body is released, promoting deep relaxation. Benefits include pain management and a heightened sense of well-being.

Healing Stones Bodywork:
Basalt Stones are heated and used as an extension of the therapist's hand to deeply penetrate the muscles and fascia and release tension, while marble and other cold-retaining stones are iced and used to soothe areas preventing inflammation. Deeply relaxing and therapeutic. 

Tandem:
Imagine the four hands of two therapists gracefully working with you and one another in a dance of touch and movement.  Techniques from any of the other modalities offered can be included in your session.  You will be deeply relaxed, opened, stretched and relieved as you are immersed in a sea of loving presence and touch.
