Skills and Techniques

Whether you come in for relaxation, healing, or for personal transformation, I will use my skills and training to help you mobilize your own resources to achieve the results you desire.

With this in mind, I will work with you to personalize each session for optimal results. Enjoy a cup of tea as we discuss "What it's been like to be you lately," and what you'd like to address in your session(s).

During the interview section of the session, we'll decide together on the best apprach to meet your needs. Perhaps you want Reiki, hypnotherapy, a psychic reading, Chakra clearing, spiritual guidance, or a combined approach to reunify the body, mind, and spirit or a combined approach with Body/Mind Integration to free trapped emotions and trauma. We will work together to achieve your goals.

I have training in the following healing modalities:

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach aimed at creating positive changes in your life. By relaxing the body and the conscious mind, we access the subconscious, which allows us to rewrite outdated beliefs and negative programming, reframe painful experiences, and access inner wisdom.

I have advanced training in Medical Hypnotherapy and PTSD, which deals with the mind's ability to facilitate healing, control pain, and release trauma.

Reiki and Reiki Massage (Covered by HSA and FSA, reciepts by request.) (Clothed unless combined with massage)

Reiki works with vital life force energy, and can be performed either by laying hands on the body, just above the body (in the person's energy (auric) field), or at a distance by Skype or phone. Reiki can be used alone or combined to enhance all other bodywork styles.

Reiki uses a wise, compassionate, and harmonizing energy often experienced by the recipient as warmth or tingling. Reiki facilitates relaxation and healing while promoting the integration of body, mind, and spirit. (See Reiki page for more details.)

Massage/Bodywork Styles

I no longer do general massage therapy. However, I am available for the following bodywork styles:

Medical Massage

I take referrals from doctors, chiropractors, naturopaths, and acupuncturists.

CranioSacral and Orthobionomy (No oil, no need to disrobe.)

Both of these systems "go with the way of ease." This means the pain or restriction is never challenged directly: no poking, rubbing, or kneading. Instead, these techniques use subtle movement, minimal pressure, and gentle repositioning to follow the wisdom of the body, thereby releasing soft tissue restrictions, and rebalancing the central nervous system.

These styles encourage a deep sense of peace and safety, allowing the body to relax on its own, making them excellent modalities for pain-specific situations, TMJ, anxiety, depression, stress, and stress-related auto-immune issues.

It is not my intention to "diagnose and treat." Please consult your doctor.
