“We are conscious vibrational beings navigating a vibrational universe. From the micro to the macro level, everything is vibrating in an ever-expanding relationship between waves and nodes.”

Massage Therapy and Manual Lymphatic Drainage

  • Biofield Tuning is a simple energy healing modality, developed by Eileen Day McKusick, in which the sound vibrations of tuning forks are used to influence the subtle energy field around the body for healing.

    The forks are used in two ways. First, as a diagnostic tool, the forks will act as a sonar. As they are passed through the field, any imbalance in the flow will be heard in the changing overtones. And second, therapeutically, the forks will be held in any areas of perceived dissonance in order to create a state of order and help the body recognize and correct its own vibrational frequencies. This is known in physics as the principle of entrainment, where the coherent output of the tuning forks will encourage the body’s frequency to come into alignment.

    A typical Biofield Tuning session lasts 60 or 75 minutes and will be conducted while the client rests comfortably on the massage table.

    During the session, I will be using different tuning forks and other sound therapy instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls and Koshi chimes. We will use mindful breathing, guided visualization, and deep relaxation techniques to allow the body to fully integrate the results of the session and create a sense of balance and well-being.

  • In a Past Life Regression session we will use progressive relaxation techniques to recover memories from past lives and previous incarnations. Find out who you were, and how messages from your past lives could help you in this incarnation.  The state of deep relaxation or yoga nidra can help you discover how karmic threads, limiting beliefs or lessons from your past lives may be impeding your current spiritual development and help you release those aspects and all energy that no longer serves you. 

    I had the privilege of training with Brian Weiss, renowned author of “Many Lives, Many Masters” and I combine his teachings with visualization, yogic deep relaxation techniques and breathwork.

    While not a requirement or prerequisite, any prior experience with energy healing practices, or having a personal meditation or mindfulness practice is a plus and will go a long way to help you access memories from past lives. Most importantly, I recommend approaching each session with patience, a sense of humility and curiosity and allow what needs to unfold to come through.

  • As one of the most well-known energy healing practices, Reiki is an Eastern system of healing that involves transferring this gentle and calming life force energy through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient.

    It uses a very light touch or is done entirely off-the-body to help rebalance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the individual.

    The name Reiki derives from Japanese where the modality is said to have been introduced in the early 20th century by Dr. Mikao Usui. Rei means Spirit or Soul.  Ki, or Qi, or Prana is the Universal, spiritual life force; it pervades all living things and is constantly shifting and flowing.

    A typical Reiki Healing session will last 1 hour. The client will relax on the massage table and be guided through a few breathing techniques to allow the body and mind to relax.

    The Prana, or Qi, will be transmitted to the client using a series of hand positions that will cover the front and the back of the body. Reiki energy goes wherever it is needed in the body and will help restore balance and harmony at the physical, mental, and emotional levels.

  • Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle treatment that stimulates fluid movement in the tissues by increasing the function of the lymph vessel system.  When the lymph pathways become congested due to illness, injury, or surgery, waste products build up in the tissues and may lead to swelling or other cell dysfunction/pathology.

    Manual Lymphatic Drainage aids the rejuvenation of the dermis and helps to improve specific skin conditions by supporting the natural detox of the body and eliminating lingering toxins under the skin surface, which can turn into a blemish/scar or a wrinkle.  It can support and benefit all stages of hormonal fluctuation: such as medicated hypothyroidism, PMS, perimenopause and menopause.  Additionally, this modality is indicated prior to any cosmetic procedures to prepare the tissue for surgery.

    The Health and Wellness MLD sessions will support clients with various conditions: from post-orthopedic recovery, to hypothyroid, autoimmune, hormonal fluctuations, or alleviating symptoms of seasonal allergies, detoxifying the system and stimulating the immune system after a cold or infection, and calming the nervous system. It’s known to help many health issues and it’s indicated for general renewal, as well as promoting a state of calm and relaxation for the nervous system. This modality is recommended pre- and post-surgery.

    A typical MLD session lasts between 75 to 90 minutes and is performed directly on skin while the client rests comfortably on the massage table.  Each session is customized to the exact needs of each individual by taking into account all medical history and the session goals.  Sessions may incorporate myofascial work and breathing techniques to aid the movement of lymph.

  • My work is a combination of traditional Western therapeutic massage (Myofascial Release, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Medical, Prenatal Massage), Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment, Eastern bodywork (Shiatsu) as well as Craniosacral therapy, Aromatherapy, Mindfulness, and Breathwork.

    Each session is unique and will focus on the immediate individual needs of the client, incorporating several treatments and modalities, as part of a thorough treatment plan that we establish and maintain in close collaboration: therapist and client, working together towards a common goal.

    I customize each session by offering a multi-dimensional approach to healing that integrates all aspects of well-being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), present it in a relatable way, and empower the person to become an active participant in their healing process and overall well-being.
