Energy Massage:

Energy massage is a combination of Swedish Massage and energy work. Laurel has been trained in a number of Energy Therapy Modalities including: Reiki, Mariel, CranioSacral, Healing Touch, IET (Integrated Energy Therapy). She uses these systems as a basis for her unique type of Energy Massage—which can assist you in reaching a deep state of relaxation, with clearing, chakra balancing and insight.

 

Swedish Massage:

Refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones.  It involves the use of kneading, stroking, friction, tapping, and vibration and may provide relief from stiffness, numbness, pain, and other health problems. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Another possible benefit can be the stimulation of circulation.  It is a ‘feel good’ deeply relaxing experience.  Probably the greatest benefit is that by getting the body in a deeply relaxed state, the body is then able to increase the relaxation response and decrease cortisol (stress hormone).

 

Energy Massage Benefits:

• Restores the body’s natural energy balance and supports its ability to heal itself.
• Promotes deep relaxation…evoking a sense of peace and well-being.
• Revitalizes body and soul, providing a holistic therapy.
• Strengthens the immune system…creating a more disease-resistant environment within.
• Supports pain/stress relief.
• Can provide relief for physical ailments…both chronic and acute.
• Can re-establish spiritual equilibrium and mental well-being.
• Can release blocked energy and assists the detoxification process
• Is non-intrusive…energy passes through clothing, bandages, plasters & casts.
• Compliments–and can be given in conjunction with–other healing modalities including traditional medical treatment, and psychotherapy.

 

Energy Work:

Are you looking for resolution or deep transformation in your life? Are you feeling the need for deep relaxation, clearing and chakra balancing without having massage therapy?  Energy Work is done with the client lying on the massage table and fully clothed.  Benefits include:  Emotional release, clearing energy blocks within, and transformation of perspective.  Energy Work can be a powerful insightful experience.  Energy Work treats the whole person:  body, mind and spirit.

Although a single session is enjoyable, the effects of Energy Work/Massage is cumulative and a course of treatments will be most beneficial. Energy Work/Massage can have the effect of strengthening the body, so as to help prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension.

Energy  Work/Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system–depending upon what is required by the individual–and thus help reduce fatigue. This leaves the client with a feeling of replenished energy. At best, Energy Work/Massage has the potential to be a significant factor in restoring the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.

Note:  Cancer:  Can assist in the relief of fatigue, anxiety, nausea, pain and mood disturbance related to cancer treatments– as it enhances the body’s ability to re-balance and restore homeostasis.   Note: there are no claims made to ‘cure’ cancer.  Although Energy Work/Massage and EFT (see below) can positively impact the individual’s quality of life by fostering the  acceptance of what is. 

 

Reiki:

Another form of energy work, Reiki is probably the most commonly known. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is based upon the idea that the unseen ‘life force energy’ flows through us.  If one’s ‘life force energy’ is low, then we are more apt to get sick.  And, if our life force is strong we are more apt to feel healthy and vibrant.  A Reiki session feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.  Reiki treats the whole person.  Benefits include:  Deep peace, serenity and well-being.

Reiki is a simple and natural healing method in which energy is transferred from one person to another through the hands. The word, “Rei-ki” (pronounced “ray-key”) is Japanese for “Universal Life Energy.” Universal Life Energy is the power that fuels all living beings on the planet.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of the use of energy for self-improvement and healing of body, mind and spirit. It has been effective in assisting multiple issues, creating beneficial effects. It works well in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote healing.

“The rain drop therapy at the end of the massage, was like having a completely different massage, it was wonderful. I am still feeling the embodied effects today! I really enjoyed the spine work!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a decongestant type of gentle massage which encourages the natural circulation of the lymph through the body.

Conditions MLD may benefit:

• Lymphoedema
• Sinus problems
• Colds and upper respiratory conditions
• Asthma
• Eczema
• Constant tiredness
• Frequent Infections
• Migraines & Headaches
• Muscle Tension
• Arthritis

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a therapy which is designed to improve the functioning of the lymphatic system. This is achieved by gentle, rhythmical movements of the skin which stimulate the contraction of the lymphatic vessels. As a result of this more metabolic waste products and excess fluid are removed from the body’s tissues and enter the lymphatic system. Once in the lymphatic system the fluid is known as lymph and while travelling through the system will pass through a series of lymph nodes where it will be cleansed of dead cells, bacteria and other waste products. The clean lymph is then returned to the blood stream.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage as a therapy was refined in the 1930′s by Dr Emil Vodder, a Danish physician. Since his pioneering work, modern research done by specialists in the field of lymphology has shown how this method effectively influences the lymphatic system. 

MLD continues to be more widely accepted in the UK as an important part in the treatment and maintenance of lymphoedema and some skin conditions. A well functioning lymphatic system is important to encourage healthy body tissue and it also plays an important part in the body’s immune response. 

The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels(peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.[1] 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage was pioneered by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s for the treatment of chronic sinusitis and other immune disorders.[2] While working on the French Riviera treating patients with chronic colds, they noticed these patients had swollen lymph
nodes. In the 1930s it was considered taboo to tamper with the lymphatic system due to the medical profession’s poor understanding of this system. (Wikipedia)
