If we have restrictions in these tissues, the whole body is affected in some way. The practice of massage dates back at least 5,000 years and is still considered an important modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat symptoms of illness. Modern research has shown that many physiological changes occur with massage beyond that of relaxation and pain reduction. These include: release of restrictions in soft tissue; removal of toxins in the body; enhanced blood circulation which in turn increases nutrients to organs and cells; reduced swelling; reduced blood pressure; endorphin release to allow for a general feeling of well-being; promoting sleep, an increase of the oxygen capacity in the blood; and generally promoting homeostasis or balance of the body for enhancing our own self healing mechanisms to name a few. Medical experts agree that the high levels of stress in our busy lives are responsible for 80% to 90% of the disease processes in our body. Massage therapy stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce these stress hormones and assist in combating the effects of daily stress on our body. Manual Techniques Lymphatic Massage Because lymph fluid moves slowly without aid of its own pump, inactivity can seriously restrict its flow. Muscular contraction through exercise and deep breathing is the primary means by which our lymph circulates, but lymphatic massage and drainage provide another helpful option. As lymphatic system circulates fats, proteins and immune cells and removes bacteria, viruses and cholesterol as well, regular lymph massage (particularly around the abdomen, axillary nodes, and breast) can be great preventive health maintenance. Shiatsu Shiatsu is a Japanese “finger pressure massage” that is based on the holistic system of traditional Chinese medicine, where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the natural flow of energy, or qi through the body. Healing Stone Massage Stone massage is a form of bodywork that involves the application of heated or cooled stones (thermotherapy) to the body during deep tissue massage. Swedish massage A tension releasing massage consisting of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints. Thai Massage Ancient bodywork practices from Thailand are enhanced with massage and stretches to increase muscle relaxation and flexibility, all of which is performed without oils or undressing. Cranio-Sacral Therapy Subtle pressure and light massage between the skull and the base of the spine stimulates circulation of cerebral-spinal fluid, allowing it to flow more freely. Facials European Facial A comprehensive and satisfying regimen of cleansing, steam application, exfoliation and light massage of the face, shoulders and chest area, followed by a special hydrating facial mask.

Arenal Volanic Mud Mask and Facial Rich, mineralized mud is prepared with oil or water as a soothing heat pack, detoxifying the skin, easing sore muscles and enhancing circulation. Detox Ionic Foot Bath The human body is like a giant magnet that attracts and holds on to toxins. Heavy metals and a vast array of other toxins attach themselves in ionized form to joints, organs, arteries, nerves and tissues, disrupting their function. This creates an environment for disease, allergies and immune system breakdowns. The Ionic Detox Footbath treatments gently cleanse unwanted chemicals from the body. The treatment consists of placing the client’s feet into warm water treated by natural sea salt and a ionic array which generates a programmable mix of positive and negative ions (charged atoms) that can balance meridians and normalize pH. The toxins are pulled out of the body through the feet. You will see as the water changes color which organ or system is detoxing. Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter, more energy and experience a greater feeling of well-being. Some clients with pain, edema, gout, headaches and swollen joints have reported immediate relief. Other clients with arthritis, allergies, limp edema, neuralgia and other symptoms have experienced relief and benefits with multiple treatments. Delux Detox Ionic Foot Bath includes foot massage aromatherapy. Holistic Therapeutic Treatments Meditation Meditation is fitness training for the mind. Until we can calm and control our mind, we will never know happiness. We wash about in currents of emotions, stress, demands and desires as we try to find ourselves. Meditation gives us a fixed point to anchor our awareness, allowing us then to observe the currents as they pass. Understanding gained through meditation will give you lifelong peace that is unshakeable. Aculaser Soft Laser Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the soft light laser practitioner assesses the flow and distribution of our "vital energy" (a vital force that animates the body) within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels". Aculaser uses a soft-pulsed light laser on specific points on the body to help alleviate pain and other symptoms. It can be very effective in musculoskeletal complaints, as well as balancing organ systems according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Session lasts 60-75 minutes. Reiki Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of Enlightenment and a Hands on Healing art developed in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan. It is an art that is passed from Master to student. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki, meaning Universal Life Force Energy. The term "Reiki" is used to describe both the energy and the Usui system of using it. A standard treatment includes placing the hands on various areas of the body, such as the head, shoulders, stomach, knees and feet. People's experiences vary during a Reiki session; however, most people feel the energy as heat. They may feel tingling, vibrating or waves of energy from the hands of the practitioner. As the Reiki energy begins to release blocks caused by tension, anxiety, fear, or other negative thoughts and feelings, some people drift off to sleep or enter into a light dreamlike state. Some see colors, report spiritual experiences and mystical visions. At the end of the treatment, one feels relaxed and refreshed with a positive, more balanced outlook.Reiki is excellent for assisting in the healing of any physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues of any kind and it gives wonderful results. We also offer Reiki training in all levels of Reiki by a Master Reiki Teacher. EFT EFT is based on a revolutionary new discovery that facilitates deep inner healing. It contends that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. With remarkable consistency, EFT relieves symptoms by an unusual (but scientific) routine of tapping with the fingertips on a short series of points on the body that correspond to acupuncture points on the energy meridians. Where there is an imbalance, there is a corresponding blockage in the flow of energy through the meridian system. The tapping serves to release the blockages that are created when a person thinks about or becomes involved in an emotionally disturbing circumstance. When this blockage is released, the emotions come into balance. Once balanced, the person cannot get upset about the circumstance no matter how hard they try. The memory remains but the charge is gone. Typically, the result is lasting and the person's awareness usually changes in a positive way as a natural result of the healing. Most energetic imbalances may be partially or completely relieved within a short time using this process. Others may be relieved through repetition of the process. Some examples of energetic patterns that have been successfully cleared using EFT: • Fears related to performance like public speaking, concentration, sports, etc. • Phobias like the fear of heights, flying, enclosed spaces, driving, etc. • Emotional trauma from war experiences, physical abuse, etc. • Disturbing emotions like depression and anger. • Emotions related to addictive patterns like eating and smoking • Insomnia • Emotions related to physical conditions.

Benefits of Reflexology include, but are not limited to; stress and tension relief, deep relaxation, improved circulation, assists nature in achieving homeostasis.
