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. In an acupressure session, pressure is applied directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique is very effective in a variety of disorders: anxiety, arthritis, asthma, backaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, headaches, hypertension, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual problems, and sinusitis, post operative recovery. It stimulates a healthy digestive function, heals the immune system, improves circulation, soothes chronic pain, and improves energy levels and concentration. It works to set the whole body in balance so that it works to function better as a whole. Regular treatments result in an improvement in overall physical and mental health.

Healing Touch is energy therapies focusing on removing energy congestion that form in our energy fields (aura) and energy centers (chakras). Chakras are spinning wheels of energy. Once these imbalances and disturbances are cleared, the energy channels resume their task of integrating the body, mind and soul to restore health and promote healing. It may also help to prevent future issues by restoring balance to energy field disturbances, which could later result in illness if left unbalanced. Healing Touch is an energy-based therapy in which the practitioner uses a light or near-body touch to restore harmony and balance to the client's energy system. The goal of this therapy is to promote healing for the client's mind, body and spirit. Teatments can help with pain management, stress and anxiety.

Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
