Remedial Massage
A Remedial Massage is a technique that eases muscle tensions and other associated muscle stresses. It is a combination of deep flowing movements and stretches to help rectify range of movement restrictions. The pressure of this massage really depends on what would benefit you the most, normally firm but still extremely relaxing.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle treatment for acute and chronic pain. It involves a myriad of techniques that can assist with a whole range of disfunctions: migraines, TMJ syndrome, hormonal imbalances, developmental delays, motor co-ordination disabilities, depression, asthma, etc.
The focus is on how imbalances within your skeletal, muscular and craniosacral systems are impacting the functionality and mobility of your central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord). As the therapist I facilitate the rebalancing of these and your other bodily systems.

Making sure your lymph and craniosacral systems are running smoothly can clear your problem! In this hour treatment, a good part of the first half hour will be spent on clearing congestion and relieving pressure off your sinuses and ear canal. This prepares your body for the candling. The hollow beeswax candle is placed into your ear. As it burns the heat suction draws up excess wax and fluid from your ear canal and sinuses.
Oncology Massage
An Oncology massage differs from a 'standard' remedial massage by which it is adapted to an individual with a history of cancer in the present moment. Caution is taken with the amount of applied pressure, the areas not to be massaged and the comfort of the client when either lying or in a sitting position. Through this style of massage scientific research has shown that pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and nausea can be reduced, without contributing to further health risks.
Pregnancy Massage
