Integrated Energetic Bodywork

With integrated energetic bodywork I incorporate my extensive education in crystal therapy, vibrational and energy work, including five element meridian therapy, inner dialogue through somatoemotional release, light therapeutic touch and the vibrational healing of essential oils to enable a full and extensive therapeutic experience.

As a Reiki master I am trained in the full potential of this beautiful healing energy work. We are all made of energy, atoms vibrating against one another, at our core level, so it is important to acknowledge this integral part of our being. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by the laying on of 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.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Light Source, God or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". This defines Reiki as a spiritually guided life force energy.

Scalar Heart Connection

Scalar Heart Connection is a simple process for helping people get answers from their heart about what is troubling them. The process uses the heart as the interface to access the Quantum Field of Infinite Knowing. By identifying the issue, the obstacle and the action that is needed to bring resolution from your heart’s innate knowing, you will have the answers you need to move forward on your path. As you are guided through your own Hero’s Journey your sense of Self and trust in your heart’s knowing will bring you deep purpose and true wisdom.

Craniosacral Therapy & Somatoemotional Release

CST is a system of alternative medicine intended to relieve pain and tension by gentle manipulations of the skull regarded as harmonizing with a natural rhythm in the central nervous system. By complementing the body's natural healing process, this therapy is increasingly used as a preventative health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and it’s effectiveness for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction including migraine headaches, T.M.J. Syndrome, stroke and Fibromyalgia.

Somatoemotional Release is an advance form of craniosacral therapy that helps release trapped emotional trauma that is being held in the body, sometimes for years causing pain and disease. Through gentle touch and guided dialogue with your subconscious, pain is released and the body can begin to move forward.

Visceral Manipulation 

Visceral Manipulation is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera (internal organs) and their connective tissues. By using specific techniques, practitioners can evaluate how abnormal forces interplay, overlap and affect the normal body forces at work. The goal is to help the body’s normal forces remove abnormal effects, whatever their sources. Effects can be global, encompassing many areas of bodily function. These gentle manipulations can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body. -barralinstitute.com.

Myofascial Release

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. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.)

The use of Myofascial Release allows us to look at each patient as a unique individual. Our one-on-one therapy sessions are hands-on treatments during which our therapists use a multitude of Myofascial Release techniques and movement therapy. We promote independence through education in proper body mechanics and movement, self treatment instruction, enhancement of strength, improved flexibility, and postural and movement awareness. -myofascialrelease.com

Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT)

PRRT is a manual-therapy approach for evaluating and relieving musculoskeletal pain. PRRT is often able to accomplish in just seconds what joint mobilization and manipulation, trigger point therapy, and soft tissue and myofascial release can do over time.

PRRT has been found effective in more than 80% of patients with painful conditions. How can it be so successful? PRRT is based on the premise that over-stimulation of the body’s primal reflexes creates pain and keeps painful patterns occurring again and again. These reflexes — startle, withdrawal, and the protective joint reflexes–are hardwired into the nervous system of the body for the purpose of survival. When a person experiences a painful or startling event, these reflexes are triggered in an attempt to protect the body.

Unfortunately, these reflexes often persist in a state of hyper-readiness long after the triggering event has passed. When sustained over time, activated reflex responses lead to patterns of pain that are reproduced, repeated, and maintained, interfering with healing and resisting therapeutic efforts to restore natural function.

PRRT addresses muscle and joint receptors along with their spinal modulation. These often overlooked and seldom-treated areas of the body are the cause and solution for many types of pain, including:

• Restricted motion

• Pain with or without motion

• Reduced spontaneity of motion

• Muscle tightness, stiffness, and/or tension

The Primal Reflex Release Technique™ treatment system offers an innovative combination and application of techniques that facilitate rapid “neural reboot.” This neural reboot resets the neural control of joints, muscles, and fascia to release joint restrictions, trigger points, and fascial restrictions not unlike when you reboot your computer. -theprrt.com
