What To Expect
read moreUpon your arrival for your first appointment, you will fill out a survey that will help me understand your purpose for coming and how I can best meet your expectations. At this time, we will make note of your medical history, any past or present injuries that you may have and other physical conditions that may need attention. I will also ask if you are on any medication, if you are under a doctor's care and inquire about your lifestyle in order to identify any issues that you are currently having-such as how you manage stress, diet and exercise.
Body Memory Recall
read moreSimply stated, body memory is past experiences and stress that is suppressed in the body. What kind of experiences are you referring to? DNA carries the memory of ones' ancestors while the body's cells, connective tissues and fluids contain the memories of one's life since conception. Although there are many types of experiences, they are all composed of similar information which the body records including physical movements, sensation, emotion, thought and perception. The term body memory is new.
AromaTouch Therapy
read moreThe AromaTouch technique is an essential oil application applied to the back and the feet to create a feeling of overall wellness. In order: dTERRA Balance, Lavender, Melaleuca, dTERRA On Guard, AromaTouch, Deep Blue, Wild Orange, and Peppermint. Substituting an oil in the AromaTouch could cause an alteration in the aroma that is created when the eight oils are used. Instead, we will completely omit the oil that you are sensitive to and continue with the AromaTouch as if the oil has been applied.
Myofascial
read moreMyofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that focuses sustained pressure upon myofascial restrictions. The technique eliminates pain and restores motion. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of your fascial (connective) tissue. The fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and inter-penetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein as well as all of your internal organs including your heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord.

FAQs
read moreSince the mind and body are connected, it is not uncommon for people to experience emotional responses when some areas of the body are treated. The body can react by crying, shivering or even laughter. If this occurs, it is okay to talk about how you are feeling and based upon how you are doing adjustments to technique, lighting or music can be made as well as creating space for processing emotions that my have a physical component. It is okay to talk but you may get more benefit if you relax into the techniques being performed, feeling into your body and advising the therapist if you are not comfortable.
