Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.  Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) Each Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. **Not recommended for pregnant women. For your safety and the safety of your child, massage services can only be performed between the 12th and 36th weeks of pregnancy.
