5. Hawaiian Lomi Lomi
A sacred Hawaiian massage that focuses on a healing touch and the ha (breath). Using a combination of continuous, flowing, rhythmic techniques and sacred music, nut oils are combined with deep breathing to restore energy and soothe the body.
4. Reflexology Therapy
An ancient technique based on the principles of Qi, the meridians in which qi flows, and zones created by the flow of qi throughout the body that reflex on the feet, hands, and ears. Application of pressure to reflex points, most commonly on the feet, releases blocked energy pathways. Pairing a traditional Reflexology, with non-traditional myofascial techniques, delivers the perfect combination of relaxation, energetic work and pain relief.Â
3. Deep Tissue Massage
Not every massage session is defined by deep breaths, scented oils, or energetic work. Deep Tissue Massage is the application of myofascial release in a therapeutic environment. Each session can address recurring issues, impingements, myofascial restrictions, and muscular imbalances to provide relief and aid recovery.
2. Hot Stone Massage
Oil, check. Music, check. Hot stones – priceless.
Basalt stones are igneous rocks formed from rapid cooling lava exposed to the earth’s surface, and are known for their natural ability to retain heat. The stones are heated, applied to the body, and become extensions of the Therapist’s hands. The porous, smooth surface of the stones provide a superior glide. Their shape fits naturally in the palms of the Practitioner’s hands, and provide an even distribution of heat when used in a massage. The heat increases blood flow to the tissue and is a natural pain-reliever. The stones can also be used as tools for deeper myofascial work or placed on the chakras to promote balance and clarity.
