Massage therapy has been valued for its healing benefits for centuries all over the world. The techniques for effectively managing pain, dysfunction and stress, have been developed over thousands of years. There are so many different styles and approaches to massage, all with the same goal of improving tissue health. Each approach may encourage a different intent in healing the body. Some may focus more on improvement in circulation, lymphatic drainage, reduce scar tissue, improve posture, or rehabilitate an injury. Other approaches improve joint function, range of motion, and decrease pain. There are even approaches focused on your stress levels, insomnia, perinatal care, and all psychosomatic pain disorders. Physical touch has immense healing effects beyond the physical body into the realms of mental and emotional well-being. Therapeutic massage is so effective in releasing tensions and painful patterns from the body. Massages are booked by duration of time and include a discussion of your needs with your therapist so you get what you need at the time of your treatment session. Deep Tissue Release and Intuitive Healing Massage are examples of a focused treatment approach.

Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice originating in the Far East well over 4000 years ago. Ancient masters mapped out the energy meridians (channels) which connect all the internal organ systems and tissues. A practitioner of acupuncture chooses points on the meridians to manipulate the flow of Qi (Chi, life force energy) within the affected meridian, and along its path. Acupuncture is a great tool for alleviating painful conditions and restoring a sense of calm in the mental body, and harmony in the spiritual body. It is an incredibly effective treatment approach option for conditions too sensitive for massage as it has a direct effect on moving energy from the painful area, often with no needles directly in the painful location. RMTs with appropriate acupuncture training can facilitate effective treatments for relieving soft tissue discomfort and improving overall tissue health. A common "side effect" is feeling lighter, yet grounded, embodied and having restful sleep.

​Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unclear or in need of support to move through a big transition in your life? Have you or a loved one recently been diagnosed with a life-changing condition? Have you suffered trauma that you are wanting to release from your life so you can move ahead to live a life of more joy and fulfillment? One thing that is guaranteed in all of our lives, is that we will be confronted with challenges. What is not predetermined, is how we choose to respond to challenge. Sometimes, before we can move ahead, we need to take time to rest, recharge and remember who we really are and what matters to us most.
