CranioSacral Therapy

This gentle, hands-on technique helps detect and correct imbalances in the craniosacral system, which consists of the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.  It has been shown to be effective in a wide range of medical probelms, including headaches, neck and back pain, TMJ, dysfunction, chronic fatigue, hyperactivity, ADD, depression, central nervous system disorders, and many others.  Clients are fully clothed during the treatment.

One hour session $60/One and a half hour session $85

Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is Japanese for "finger pressure" and it is a form of Eastern bodywork that seeks wellness and balance by freeing the body's own life force energy (chi or ki).  Through relaxed palm, thumb, and finger pressure applied at various points on the body, clients' own innate healing ability is stimulated.  This results in increased flexibility and range of

motion while assisting the bodies alignment and structural integrity.  It also improves

circulation and neurological function.  Clients are fully clothed for the session, which may also include gentle stretching.

One hour session $60/One and a half hour session $85

Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an art for harmonizing the life energies of the body to promote health, vitality, and a sense of well-being.  It is a gentle art, practiced by placing the fingertips on specific areas of the body (over the clothing) to harmonize and restore the energy flow. 

One hour session $60/One and a half hour session $85

Zero Balancing

A hands-on body/mind system of therapy that balances the relationship of energy and structure within the bones and tissues of the body.  ZB uses energy movement to integrate Western medical science with Eastern energy healing traditions into an original, practical and coherent bodywork skill. Based on principles of nature, ZB promotes internal balance and harmony through the use of informed, skilled touch.  Many people initially seek ZB to relieve symptoms but continue receiving sessions as their quality of life improves.

Client is fully clothed.

Half hour session $35/One hour session $60
