REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the hands and feet which correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body.

Some Common Conditions That May Benefit From Reflexology:

• Allergies
• Arthritis
• Back / Neck problems
• Constipation
• Fatigue
• Headaches / Migraines
• Menstrual problems
• Shoulder problems
• Stress and Tension

• Promotes the natural functions of the related areas of the body
• Helps nature achieve a state of equilibrium or balance (without adverse side effects)

You remove your shoes and socks and relax lying on a treatment table.

Reflexes are stimulated by applying pressure using the thumb and fingers. The treatment ends with a relaxing foot massage using a cream or lotion.

THERAPEUTIC TOUCH

In the early 1970's, Therapeutic Touch was developed in the United States by Dora Kunz, a gifted therapist. Dolores Krieger R.N., PhD, Professor Emerita of New York University, participated in this approach and gave it the name Therapeutic Touch (TT).

TT was derived from the ancient practice of laying-on of hands, based on the fundamental assumption that there is a universal life energy that sustains all living organisms.

The universal life energy flows throughout the organisms in a balanced and harmonious manner, nourishing all the body's organs.

Some Benefits of Therapeutic Touch:

• Promotes relaxation
• Reduces pain
• Accelerates healing by facilitating the body's natural restorative process

You remove your shoes and relax either lying on a treatment table or seated on a chair or stool.

The practitioner helps assimilate the life energy by releasing congestion and balancing areas where the flow is obstructed, blocked or depleted.

Since the life energy field penetrates and extends beyond the body, actual physical contact is not necessary for TT. In fact, most practitioners prefer working one to six inches from the body.

RELAXATION THERAPY

Can You Relate To Any Of These Questions?

• Do you have difficulty trying to unwind, calm down, or relax?
• Do you have trouble falling asleep because you can't stop replaying the day's events?
• Do you often feel like you need a "get-away from it all" vacation?
• Do you suffer from fatigue, headaches, stress or depression?
• Do you know what your body feels like when you are completely relaxed?

Some Benefits of Relaxation Therapy:

• Reduces stress and tension
• Relieves aches and pains
• Induces relaxation

You are partially unclothed, covered by a privacy sheet, as you relax lying on a treatment table.

While relaxation is a personal and "inside job", the practitioner helps you experience the difference between feeling tension and feeling relaxed. Oil is used on the skin for an effective Light Touch Relaxation Therapy treatment.
