List and Description of Services

Craniosacral Therapy

Within the craniosacral system is the cerebrospinal fluid that moves in a slight but perceptible tide-like manner. Craniosacral therapists assist in facilitating change in areas of restriction where this tide-like motion is limited, confined and immobilized. By using a gentle light touch, this fluid becomes more rhythmic and balanced, and the central nervous system is restored. Craniosacral therapy is helpful to those with nervous disorders, stress, motor-coordination impairments, attention deficit disorders, insomnia, and other conditions. Craniosacral therapy was originally developed in the early 1900’s by an osteopath named William G. Sutherland and later refined and promoted by Dr. John Upledger.
 
A craniosacral session last a least an hour. The client remains dressed, while lying in a relaxed position on the practitioner’s table. The positive effects of the therapy rely in a large extent on the body’s natural self-corrective activities. The therapist’s light, hands-on approach simply assist the hydraulic forces of the craniosacral system to improve the body’s internal environment, and strengthen its ability to heal itself.
 
Raindrop Therapy
 
Raindrop Therapy is a very powerful treatment assisting the body in self-healing. Nine Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are sequentially applied along the spine and worked into the back using acupressure and bodywork techniques to bring about structural and electrical (nervous system) balance. 
 
During Raindrop Therapy, the body naturally absorbs high-frequency oils, creating within the body, an environment less hospitable to bacteria, viruses, or other unwelcome micro-organisms. The objective is to open neuropath ways for greater flow of oxygen with this sequence of synergistically combined oils to kill viral agents and reduce inflammation, stimulating self healing. Benefits include detoxification, relief of pain and spinal health, immune support and emotional and mental well-being.
 
Usui Reiki
 
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Kee) in Japanese means “universal life energy”. It is a healing technique of transmitting life energy by placing the hands gently in specific positions either on or above the body. This powerful touch is designed to relieve pain, restore vitality, heal illnesses, and aid spiritual growth. It was developed by Dr.Usui in the 19th century. It was introduced to the United States in 1930’s by Hawayo Takata.
