Down To Earth
Reiki

Usui Reiki: This Japanese energy healing technique aims to promote relaxation and stress reduction, with the intention of supporting the body's natural healing abilities. It helps to balance your energy which in turn calms the mind and body. As a side note, this is a great option for someone who may not like to be touched as it can be performed with hands just hovering within the person's energy field. 

Foot & Hand Reflexology: By applying pressure to specific points on the hands or feet, reflexology can help to stimulate nerve function, improve energy levels, boost circulation, increase  relaxation and much more. This ancient practice is designed to promote healing and balance throughout the body. This is an excellent treatment for children of all ages, especially those who struggle with constipation or sleep disturbances. Hand reflexology is a great option for anyone who doesn't like their feet touched, or for those who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome or other painful disorders of the hands/wrists such as arthritis. Or better yet, enjoy a hand and foot reflexology combo!


Indian Head Massage: A simple yet effective Ayurvedic practice, Indian head massage has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Originally developed by women to promote hair growth and vitality. The modern version has been adapted to also include the neck, shoulders and upper arms as these areas tend to hold physical and emotional stress from modern day lifestyles. Although it is considered a massage, it is very gentle, yet stimulating. Benefits include decreased pain, relief from eye strain and fatigue, improved lymphatic circulation, encourages hair growth and hair vitality, can relieve mental and emotional stress and more. 

Black Pearl/Amygdala Release: The Amygdalae resemble small black pearls and are found in both temporal lobes of our brains. They are part of our Limbic System. The Limbic System is the area of our nervous system which controls things such as emotion, mood, memories and processing of fear and anxiety. When we suffer trauma or live in a chronic state of stress, our Amygdalae become larger and more connected to the part of our brain that regulates our emotions. This makes it difficult to feel calm and relaxed causing us to remain in a state of fight or flight. Black Pearl Technique, also known as Amygdala Release is a non-invasive neurovascular therapy that can help shrink the Amygdalae and help balance the autonomic nervous system. It involves gentle stimulation of specific acupoints on the head, neck and face to encourage deep relaxation and surrender. This allows the body to enter a parasympathetic state. The meridians are worked on as well, to encourage a more balanced energy flow in our bodies.


Telpus: Similar to Reiki, Telpus is a gentle yet effective modality. Working with earth-bound energy and the water element, this service is balancing and beneficial to all things human, animal and environmental. It focuses only on positive, loving energy which is why it is such a beautiful treatment for both client and practitioner. This service can be done alone or added on to any other service as it only takes about 25 mins to complete a session. 

​
Meridian Toe Technique: A great add on to other services, especially Black Pearl and Reflexology, the Meridian Toe technique is a very gentle, quick 20 minute sequence which can help remove blockages in the select meridians that are connected to our organs. This technique has been around for decades, inspired by Chinese medicine, with a history in Brazil it's focus is to balance the flow of Qi (life force energy) throughout zones, meridians and energy fields. 

You may notice that all of the services are effective at balancing energy and removing blockages. This is important as stuck energy can cause illness, disease and unrest in our bodies. It takes us out of our calm natural parasympathetic state known as homeostasis. The intention while performing  all of these treatments is to restore your body's energy to a more natural flow. Getting it back to a comfortable place that encourages healing. We all have the power to heal ourselves but we must be in the right place energetically to do it.
