I consider massage therapy an essential element of self-care. Regular massage is beneficial for all the body's systems, increasing immunity and resilience and lowering stress hormones and inflammation.
Conditions improved by massage/bodywork : migraine and tension headaches, whiplash, muscle spasms, TMJ, Bell's Palsy, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, post-surgical knee/hip/shoulder replacement, post-acute sports injury, chronic low back pain, repetitive stress injuries, and many more. I am happy to work with your health care provider to help you reach your wellness goals.
HeartMath™
I am Clinically Certified in HeartMath™ for Stress, Anxiety, and Self Regulation. HeartMath™ is a system of techniques to increase inner balance and self-security. It is backed by over 25 years of research and over 400 independent peer-reviewed studies.
Did you know that the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart? Heart signals have a significant effect on brain function – influencing emotional processing as well as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. Have you ever lost your ability to think straight when you were angry or very stressed? That was due to cortical inhibition, which is one of the ways the heart influences the brain. It can also influence the brain and body to come into balance.
I can teach you techniques to increase your Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Coherence, which is calming and energizing. Heart Rate Variability is the interval between heartbeats, and coherence is the rhythmic quality of HRV. When you increase HRV and coherence, the heart, mind and body function harmoniously.
Regularly practicing the easy/quick techniques can greatly reduce anxiety and stress levels. It is also proven to improve immunity, blood pressure, overall health and wellbeing, sleep, and resilience in challenging situations or around difficult people. This is something you will do for yourself, advanced self-care - not something that is done to you. So it will be up to you to follow through, with my support.
To learn more or make an appointment, remote or in-person, please contact me. It typically takes 1-4 sessions to get solidly on the path toward your treatment goals and then periodic check-ins or coaching sessions afterward.
BREATHWORK
Take a moment now to observe your breath.
Do you breathe well throughout the day?
Conscious control of the breath is key to certain types of meditation, as well as optimizing athletic performance and general wellness, energy, and emotional wellbeing.
I am happy to teach breathwork one-on-one or in a group, in-person, or remotely.We will explore scientifically proven techniques from both Eastern and Western traditions. Then together we will work out a breath work regimen that suits your goals and lifestyle.
REIKI
Sessions
Attunements
Certifications
I am a certified Karuna and Reiki Master Teacher, with over 20 years of experience instructing students, mostly nurses. Although HeartMath™ has more mainstream science behind it, the practice of Reiki is much older, possibly ancient. It is now being offered to patients in over 60 hospitals, and Healing Touch™ which is a systematized close cousin to Reiki has over 30,000 certified nurses in the U.S. It has been proven effective in helping patients relax. It speeds healing, lessens pain and anxiety, allows for deep and restorative sleep - whether one believes in it or not. Over the years I have successfully treated many animals-dogs, cats, horses with reiki - as well as myself and other people. I have concluded that Reiki is an effective and harmless tool for healing. It is a perfect adjunct to conventional medical treatments as well as acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine, and chiropractic.
I teach Reiki in small groups, usually over a weekend. It is an intensive and fun learning experience, with several follow-up sessions that allow for the student to practice on their own for a few weeks, then come back into the group to debrief, troubleshoot and practice on each other to earn certification. This helps the student to make course material their own, to build a supportive community of practitioners and circumvents that "Wow! What a great workshop-but I never followed through..." tendency many people have due to their busy lives.
