Acupressure, Neuromuscular Massage, Hot StoneTherapy
- $70/hr or $90/1-1/2 hrs.

Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force energy to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses gentle but firm pressure.
 
Neuromuscular Massage is the utilization of static pressure on specific myofascial points to relieve pain. This technique manipulates the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons and connective tissue) to balance the central nervous system.
 
Hot StoneTherapy a massage with hot stones integrated in.

Acupuncture/Herbal Medicine - See Below for Prices

Acupuncture is a traditional East Asian Medicine that has been practiced for over 3000 years. It is a system of medicine where no complaint is viewed in isolation. Rather, the body, mind, and soul are evaluated together. The goal lies in restoring and promoting the smooth flow of Qi (pronounced "chee"). Qi is ones life force involved in breathing, metabolism, and emotions, along with all our body functions. Qi collects in our organs and travels through meridians (energy channels). Disease occurs when Qi is impaired, insufficient, rebellious, or excessive. This impairment can occur for many reasons including injury, trauma, emotions, stress, lifestyle, and exposure to heat or cold. Small sterilized and disposable, stainless steel needles are inserted at various acupuncture points along the meridians to stimulate Qi. This stimulation restores balance thereby promoting health and healing. Herbal medicine works on the same principles as acupuncture. Each herbal prescription is tailored to each individual and works synergistically to help strengthen the body's own healing abilities. Each treatment typically lasts for one hour involving an intake, pulse, and tongue diagnosis and treatment. Other possible treatment modalities include tuina (massage), aromatherapy, electro acupuncture, bloodletting, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, auricular diagnosis, nutritional information, and acupressure. Some commonly treated conditions include pain, migraines, gynecological disorders, mental-emotional problems (anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress), menopause, fatigue, and digestive complaints (IBS, colitis).
 
Pricing
Acupuncture, $75 per session. Sessions are, on average, 1.25 hours. Patients should plan on 1.5 hours for the initial intake and should come about 15 minutes early to fill out information forms. Herbal prescription is an integral part of these sessions, when appropriate. There's no separate charge for this. Patients do, however, pay for their herbs

Craniosacral Therapy - $70/an hour

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate negative effects of stress on your central nervous system resulting in better overall health and resistance to disease.

Craniosacral Therapy is a light-touch manual therapy that addresses restrictions in the craniosacral system- the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This vital system extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum or tailbone area.

The craniosacral system directly impacts the central nervous system, therefore an imbalance within the craniosacral system can cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities. CranioSacral Therapy helps correct those restrictions so the body can release the effects of stress – naturally.

Craniosacral Therapy is performed on a person fully clothed in loose comfortable clothing. Using a very light touch – the practitioner monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses gentle manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral therapy enables a body to return to its greatest levels of performance by freeing the central nervous system of restrictions. Craniosacral Therapy strengthens your body’s ability to take better care of you. It helps alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction including: Migraines and headaches, Chronic neck and back pain, Scoliosis, Orthopedic problems, Motor-coordination impairments, Stress and tension related problems, Chronic fatigue, Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ), Learning disabilities, Central Nervous System Disorders, Emotional difficulties, Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Infantile disorder, and many other conditions.

Because of its positive effect on so many body functions, a wide variety of healthcare professionals today have sought out advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy. They include osteopathic physicians, medical doctors, doctors of chiropractic, doctors of oriental medicine, naturopathic physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists, acupuncturists, psychiatric specialists, massage therapists and other professional bodyworkers.

Integrative Breathwork
- $175 per session. $150 per session with a 10 session commitment.

Integrative Breathwork is a guided training, similar to such practices as ‘Holotropic Breathing’ and ‘Rebirthing’. It grows out of the teachings and methods of great Yogis, past and present. The Full Breath, as it is called, opens all energy channels and charkas. Integrative Breathwork often awakens a person’s memories of her/his birth, infancy and/or past lives. The powerful vigor of this method removes blocks to the smooth, open streaming of bodily energy. In general, people realize, at least, the lower bliss or Samadhi within six sessions and can evoke a sense of overwhelming inner beauty and happiness – peace – for themselves, at any time, within ten sessions.

Practitioner - Martin Bock, Licensed acupuncturist has worked as a breathwork coach and trainer of professionals in this field for 26 years.

Massage Therapy - Deep Tissue/Sports Massage or Swedish - $65/an hour, $90/1-1/2 hrs

What is it?
Massage is the scientific and systematic manipulation of soft tissue, primarily muscles, not bones. It is a complement to the work of a chiropractor. Massage on normal tissue is a pleasant sensation. However, massage in the area of an injury or chronic pain, may cause some discomfort at first, which usually lessens considerably after the first few minutes. Your therapist knows ways to minimize pain, and will work carefully within your limits of comfort. Always tell your therapist if you feel any discomfort, so adjustments can be made. Never suffer in silence. Massage is a regular health maintenance activity, not a luxury. When the body is properly relaxed, everything works the way it was designed to work.

What will the session be like?
Your Therapist will begin by asking you some general health questions, since under some conditions massage may not be appropriate. Your massage therapist will then leave the room while you undress and relax on the table, covering yourself with a fresh sheet. You will leave your underpants on, but draw them halfway down your buttocks so that the lower back and hip muscles can be accessed. You will be warmly draped at all times except for the areas that are being worked on. If you would like an additional blanket for warmth, simply ask your therapist for it. Your therapist will use a body lotion which is good for your skin and absorbs well. For really sore muscles, your therapist may recommend something like Ben Gay.

What should I do during the massage?
Nothing. Just let go, be a rag doll. Do not try to be helpful. Your therapist will move your arms or legs as needed. If the therapist needs your help, they will ask. There is no need to make conversation with your therapist, however providing feedback is encouraged. Just relax, breathe deeply, and go to sleep if you would like.

Will it tickle?
The touch of massage is completely different from tickling. Ticklish people are quite often surprised that massage does not tickle. Being ticklish is a sign of hypertension. If you are ticklish, tell your therapist so that those areas can be avoided altogether.

What should I do after the massage?
Rise slowly from the table, as you may feel a bit lightheaded from the increased oxygenation of your system. Drink extra water for the next 24 hours to flush away the toxins that have been released from your tissues. Continue to relax.

How will I feel after my massage?
You will most likely feel very mellow, relaxed, and perhaps sleepy. If you have had a very long session of 1-1/2 to 2 hours, be careful driving, as you may feel as you would if you had a few glasses of wine.

Myofascial Release - $65/an hour

This form of soft tissue manipulation focuses on the release of restrictions that may occur in the muscle fibers and the interwoven connective tissue known as fascia. Restrictions interfere with muscle contractions and movement and may be caused by adhesions/scar tissue, trigger points, and muscle spasms. Myofascial Release involves a stretching of the soft tissue that enables freer movement, reduction of pain, and improved postural symmetry. This form of bodywork is generally classified as deep tissue massage.

Prenatal Massage - $65/hr. or $90/1-1/2 hrs.

Prenatal Massage is therapeutic bodywork which focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience. It is a fast-growing field in the United States that has attracted the interest of labor and delivery nurses, nurse-midwives, childbirth educators and obstetricians. Massage therapy enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

Reiki - $50/hour.

Reiki is a Japanese term meaning Universal Life Force. During a Reiki session, the practitioner channels this energy through his/her hands into the recipient. This gentle, hands-on healing technique reduces stress, promotes relaxation, relieves pain, and facilitates physical, mental, and emotional healing.

Foot Reflexology - $65/hour.

Reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years in china and India but it is not solely an eastern healing art. There is also evidence it was used in ancient Egypt and Greece as well as by certain native North American tribes. Reflexology works through finger and thumb pressures applied to specific points on the feet. The pressures are applied slowly and with firm pressure therefore ticklish feet need not worry. These points are reflex points and they correspond to every organ and every system, and every part of the body. In other words, the entire body is mapped out on the feet. The feet have one of the highest concentrations of nerve endings, and pressure sensors in the entire body. Reflexology works through the body's nervous system, when pressures are exerted to the feet the body takes note and then responds accordingly by making physiological changes within. In many other countries it is used to prevent and treat illness. The work supports the body's incredible ability to adjust and heal during times of stress. It brings about relaxation, balance and wellbeing to the physical, emotional and spiritual body. It can assist in reducing specific unwanted symptoms or can be used as a general "tune up" for the body. Sessions only require the removal of shoes and socks - other than that all you have to do is kick up your feet, relax and enjoy

Thai Yoga Bodywork - $75 for 1.25 hour / $95 for 1.5 hours/ $150 for 2 hours

Thai Yoga Bodywork is physical/spiritual meditation in action. In each session, I place a recipient in a series of yoga postures and stretch and move her/him, rhythmically.
