Massage Therapy is a form of touch therapy that involves manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. Massage uses 5 different types of strokes: Effleurage (gliding), Petrissage (kneading), Friction (rubbing), Vibration and Tapotement/Percussion (striking). These strokes are used to create different effects on the soft tissues with cascading effects on the organs and systems of the body. Ultimately, Massage is used to help a body overcome the challenges of illness, injury and dysfunction to help bring the body back into homeostasis without the use of drugs or invasive medical procedures. Massage Therapy can be a wonderful addition to your health and wellness routine or a supplement to your health care protocol.
Everything in the universe is energy! Even matter, by definition, is energy that vibrates at a very slow rate such that it maintains its physical structure. Feeling and working directly with energy is a natural talent developed over a lifetime through study, trial and error, and personal growth. Many different "tools and techniques" exist to address all manner of things that are typically invisible to the human eye, yet integrally part of who and what we are as Sovereign Divine Beings. Energy Work addresses non-physical energetic structures, thought forms, vibrational frequency, and personal evolution by introducing different types of energy at typically higher vibrating frequencies to an organic living system to bring that system closer to its natural balance. Effects are not as predictable as Massage Therapy, but can be just as beneficial and for some more effective, particularly when touch therapy is not appropriate or inadvisable due to a variety of factors.
Put succinctly, the Reconnective Healing© Frequencies are Energy, Light and Information. Coming directly from the Zero Point Field, a field of unlimited potential recognized by Quantum Physics, the Reconnective Healing© Frequencies have the unbridled capacity to create infinite opportunities to receive Healing from all manner of things physical, mental, emotional or spiritual in nature. As a result, Healings are often experienced fairly immediately and they tend to be lifelong, though your session may not specifically resolve that which you are seeking Healing for or manifest in a form you necessarily anticipate. Healing always occurs within a session, though for some it may take a bit of time for the particulars of your healing to become apparent. Reconnective Healing© has been extensively studied and the data has proven it to be definitively different from Energy Healing Modalities/Techniques. Additionally, the RH Frequencies are powerful enough to raise the energy in an area where Practitioners are working (facilitating Healings or Training) enough to equate to a temperature change of approximately 300°C (572°F) though no actual change occurs.

The most commonly recognized and widely requested of all therapeutic massage modalities, Swedish Massage relieves stress, promotes relaxation, reduces muscle tension, increases blood flow to the heart, decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body. This modality is easily distinguished by the continuous flowing nature of its technique. It is also the basis of many other forms of massage, and is taught universally as the foundation of the Massage Therapy field.
Deep Tissue Massage is not just about deep pressure. By definition, Deep Tissue affects a type of tissue known as fascia, which forms a continuous tensional network throughout the body. This means that tension in one part of this network will result in imbalance in another. This modality focuses on releasing tension in this tissue through focused strokes that "hook into" the fascial network and lengthen the tight, shortened tissues. This type of massage therapy is beneficial for athletes, those who sit for long periods of time, or anyone with chronic pain or holding patterns that do not include touch sensitivity.
Structural Bodywork takes Deep Tissue a step further and uses precise techniques to manually lengthen stubborn, unyielding fascia with the particular goal of bringing the body back to Structural Alignment, the body's ideal configuration for optimal physical function. Unlike other modalities, this type of massage therapy is not for everyone, as it is often quite intense. Medical clearance and at-home maintenance are necessary. These techniques are derived from the work of Ida Rolf, the creator of Rolfing or Structural Reintegration, however they do not follow the full Rolfing protocol.
Typically incorporated into other massage therapy modalities, Trigger Point is the use of direct sustained pressure designed to release a specific type of "knot" in the muscle tissue or fascia. These areas are the result of chronic holding patterns and are formed due to the natural injury response of the immune system. Trigger Points can themselves be painful, but more often they refer pain to other areas of the body (not always where you might think either!!).
Injury Massage uses techniques focused on recovery from a particular injury or syndrome focusing on specific massage therapy protocols. Sessions are typically shorter and less relaxing than other modalities. Range of Motion testing and stretching may be incorporated. Great for addressing post-surgical scar tissue and chronic problems such as Piriformis Syndrome (sometimes mistaken for Sciatica) or Rotator Cuff injury (i.e. Frozen Shoulder).
Cranial-Sacral Therapy, also known as Craniosacral Therapy, is different than most types of Massage Therapy in that it is far less active and involves techniques that are part physical and part energetic in nature. The bones of the skull and the sacrum move back and forth between two positions all day long in a cyclical pattern known as the Cranial Rhythm. This movement is only about half the thickness of a piece of paper, yet it is critical to the functioning of the neurological system and, as a result, the human body as a whole. Using only about 5 grams of pressure (the weight of a standard nickel) and specific hand placements on particular bony landmarks, it is possible to exaggerate and/or inhibit this subtle movement causing any restrictions to release. Additionally, one of the techniques used is effective at purging and refreshing the Cerebro-Spinal fluids. Particularly effective post-whiplash, when injury to the head, spine, or sacrum has occurred, or more vigorous modalities are demonstrably ineffective or cannot be tolerated. This modality also has the potential to induce SER (Somatic-Emotional Release), or the release of stored cellular memory of trauma and the accompanying emotions involved.
A Sports Massage, while using all the same techniques as a Swedish Massage, is different from other modalities because it tends to be faster paced, involves more vigorous application of techniques and often uses significantly more percussion. As a result, it can be more stimulating than other forms of Massage Therapy and should be used with caution with some clients who are sensitive to fast paced touch techniques. Techniques used vary between pre and post exertional situations resulting in two distinct styles - Performance and Recovery. Russian Sports Massage takes it a step further and portions out the time spent on each area of the body and uses all 5 types of techniques in each area according to a specific formula. This type of work is taught in medical settings in Russia, where it is nationally recognized as THE definitive medical massage modality.
One of the most recognizable of Energy Work modalities, Reiki has a number of stories about how it began. The most commonly accepted origin for Reiki is a monastic order in Japan shortly before the beginning of WW2. Reiki is Divinely Guided Universal Life Force Energy, the same animating force that gives us life and sustains us. One must have an attunement to work with these energies which is passed from Master to Student. While Reiki is traditionally applied in a hands-on session, it can also be delivered at a distance without affecting its efficacy. The potential benefits are too numerous to list and each person takes away from it what is needed for them. This energy is neither controlled nor directed by the practitioner; it is merely allowed to flow through the practitioner, as if he or she is a hollow tube, and into the client to where it is most needed following Divine Guidance.
Dr. Eric Pearl, a Chiropractor from the Los Angeles area, discovered the Reconnective Healing© Frequencies while working with his patients and has shared them with the world to promote new methods of healing and evolving consciousness. Each practitioner simply tunes into the frequencies and follows whatever impressions draw their attention during a session. This type of work is done hands-off, as physical contact seems to limit the effects. The results from these sessions are not always readily apparent and may take some time to see, but they will most likely be profound. Dramatic healing from all manner of ailments and major consciousness shifts have been documented after the use of the frequencies. There has been significant scientific study of the use of the RH Frequencies, and there is a verifiable change in the energy in the room due to a Practitioner working with the frequencies.

Brought to us through Grand Master Adrien "Star" Amadeo, these Sacred Healing Energies are powerful yet gentle. With their strong connection to the Animal Kingdom and Mother Gaia, you can be sure that these energies will help you heal at a very deep level and typically help to open up your ability to communicate with animals more effectively. Ancient Egypt is very connected to this modality and as a result the Egyptian Deities often show up during session to offer aid or guidance. For more information about PRISMology or Grand Master Star, or to see some of the other Modalities she has to offer, visit her website: www.healingspiral.weebly.com or simply contact us for more information.
The Complete Energy System Alignment is a comprehensive service, for individuals ready to take their inner work to the next level!! This modality is entirely developed by Nathanial for individuals who have been working within themselves, but are hitting road blocks or just need to break through in order to advance on their journey. This is a Ceremonial process which involves smoke cleansing with Palo Santo, the application of sacred essential oils (Frankincense, Myrrh, Hawaiian Sandalwood), and a series of techniques that work with various aspects of the non-physical energetic system. This system is made up of the Auric Field, Chakras and Nadis, 12 Strand DNA (most only have 2 or 3 strands active right now), Merkaba Light Body, and more. This work can be very intense and of all the modalities offered, this one has the highest chance to inspire Somatic-Emotional Release (SER) or Etheric-Emotional Release (EER). Clients are encouraged to make contact and discuss this before booking an appointment.
Chakra Balancing is often not as well understood as other modalities. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "spinning wheel". This term refers to energy vortexes located along the spinal column, but in the energy field, that take in energies from the Earth and transmit them upward at an increased frequency. Each vortex vibrates at a specific frequency and is directly associated with certain physical organs and systems in the body as well as emotional/mental states. Additionally, they radiate a specific "color" in relation to the frequency of their vibrations, resulting in Chakras occasionally being called Chroma. These non-physical structures can be worked with directly to adjust various aspects of the vortexes until balance is achieved.
The Auric Field is the personal energy that extends off of the body about 2 to 6 inches for the average person. This field is the first line of defense against all things energetic, be they harsh words, bad energy, or (far more rarely) direct metaphysical/psychic attack. A healthy aura is smooth, whole and elastic in consistency. Most people have some degree of vulnerability in their Aura in the form of holes, embedded non-physical "objects", and cords of attachment. Each of these issues can be addressed to restore the Aura back to wholeness and complete function.
Do you have questions, great or small, that no amount of research or discussion seems to adequately address or what you do find simply confuses you even more? Has it been challenging to find guidance from a physically available, reliable source? An Intuitive Consultation will give you a different perspective, one that comes from Spirit Guides or Higher Density Beings, none of which are physically incarnated at this time. Those practitioners in tune with their Guides and non-physical allies can "hear" responses from them and communicate that to a client. A Channeler can let these entities speak through their physical vessel (body) to directly answer the client. Not all consults will involve channeling, but all answers are from this elvated perspective outside the physical dimension. An open mind and heart is needed for this one.
Need to do deeper work that other modalities simply cannot address? A guided meditation session may be the answer. Guided Meditation can be used to enter into other states of consciousness that can affect healing, allowing you access to the deeper parts of your own mind to achieve greater understanding of Self, or to travel to other places or states of being where you can find the resources needed to address whatever you are working on. Dialog is required prior to this kind of session.
Don't see what you need above? Let's discuss what you are looking to do and come up with a plan to address it! There are so many tools and modalities available that to list them all would take far too long. New and unusual are no strangers, and challenges are always accepted. Dialog is required prior to this kind of session.
