Stress management has become a passion of mine. Stress has the potential to have profound effects on our physical bodies in the short term- setting into motion a release of hormones triggering a cascade of physiological changes (“fight, flight or freeze”), or long term, chronic “slow burn” stress- wearing on our organs and body systems. Not to mention the effect on our mental state causing anxiety, sleeping problems, even leaking into our relationships and affecting our work. It has been proven that the vast majority of diseases are the result of stress and the internal inflammation it can cause. 

 

I don’t claim to be able to cure disease, but I can help you to reverse “dis-ease” and help guide you back to a state of “ease,” That is, a state of being at comfort, the absence of pain, freedom from difficulty, a quiet state of mind, a feeling of being at rest, and feeling tranquil. 

 

REIKI 

​

Reiki is a hands- on Japanese energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing of mind, body, and spirit. It is based on the understanding that all living things share a common universal life force energy that flows through them. We become more vulnerable to pain, illness, and disease when this energy is low or blocked by physical, emotional, or spiritual distress. Reiki can remove these energy blocks and balance the energy system- promoting the body’s self-healing ability and providing a sense of peace and well being.

SOUND THERAPY

​

In these sessions I use instruments like tuning forks, Tibetan singing bowls, crystal alchemy bowls, ting shas, and drum to create sound. Our brains respond to music by recognizing patterns and anticipating what comes next. Music is beautiful and can certainly be relaxing, but SOUND without pattern is open ended, pure, and universal. Our brain responds beyond filters and settles into a deeper state of consciousness. Our brain waves can change from our normal everyday conscious Beta state to Alpha, Delta, or even Theta which can be found in deep sleep or deep meditation. Tuning forks in particular, have beautiful physical vibratory properties when struck and the stem placed on certain acupressure points. Use of the forks also encourages the “puffing” wave of nitric oxide within our cells. The rising phase of this wave is the release of nitric oxide which sends a signal to our cells to relax. During the falling phase of the wave nitric oxide dissipates and our cells become more active. This provides great benefits for cardiovascular health, immunity, stamina, mental clarity, balancing the autonomic nervous system, and digestive health.

UTRADIAN RHYTHM RESET

 

Every 90 to 120 minutes, the body craves a “reset.” Have you ever walked into a room with no memory of how you got there? Or just “spaced out” for a second? This, like the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake, is a necessary cycle of our brains.These days, the pace of our daily life, work, and constant stream of information and stimulation, don’t allow for this “reset” to occur. We should be taking a “time out” every 90 minutes or so, and I can show you an easy exercise for you to do just that. It’s an AMAZING way to begin a massage or stress management service, as you are already completely relaxed by the time you get on the table!
