What
is Swedish massage?
Swedish massage is the most
common form of massage used in Europe and the U.S., and is the form of massage
licensed by the state of Oregon. Using oil or lotion on the skin, the therapist
massages the muscles and connective tissues to provide general relaxation, relieve
stress, alleviate muscular soreness, enhance lymphatic drainage, as well as provide
many other benefits to the recipient.
What
is energy work?
Energy work is subtle bodywork that
affects the energy field, or aura, which surrounds and permeates the physical
body. There are many forms of energy work.
What
is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy work that originated
in Japan and is usually described as "channeling Universal life energy,"
Practiced with the hands placed in various positions on the body, it is a gentle
and profound healing art that benefits body, mind, and spirit. There are three
levels of Reiki Practitioners - first-degree, second-degree, and master level.
What
is Etheric Healing?
Etheric Healing is practiced
with the hands off the body to affect the aura, or etheric body, that surrounds
the physical body.
What is Spiritual
Healing?
My intention is to do more than just help
the body feel better. Healing of the spirit is the basis of my work. Either silently
or aloud, I invite sacred energies into the session to provide guidance and protection,
and I ask for support in working with the highest and purest intent. Using a combination
of touch, energy work, and shamanic sound work, I intuitively facilitate connection
to the deeper self and to the Divine. Sometimes magic happens.
Do
you do deep tissue?
My work is usually deep enough for
most people. I don't claim to do deep tissue - my work is more subtle. If you've
received enough massage to know that you're looking for a deep tissue specialist,
I recommend you try another therapist. If you're not sure, give my work a try.
Masseuse
or masseur?
These are French words. Masseuse is the feminine,
masseur is masculine. The politically-correct, non-gender-specific term is "massage
therapist."
May I receive a massage
without energy work or spiritual healing?
Of course,
the session is yours to tailor as you wish. You may receive any form of offered
bodywork by itself or in combination with other forms. You may also choose to
ask the therapist to work intuitively, if you like.
