Biodynamic Cardiovascular (BCVT)

Biodynamic Cardiovascular Therapy is a style of craniosacral that works more specifically with the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to decreases vagal tone and drop the autonomic nervous system from being in sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight) down into parasympathetic activation (rest-and-digest). This style incorporates the use of embodiment meditation and heart-to-heart connection to bring the body back into itself and become more aware of the sensations within and around the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies. The goal of this work is to find the stillness within and allow it to heal your body at a cellular level. Techniques include gentle holds and soft compressions to key areas around the body while working with the fluid body in the tempo of primary respiration to create a sense of space and well-being. This modality is useful in helping to reduce the symptoms of PTSD and other trauma related issues.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Myofascial Release is a form of soft tissue therapy that works to release each individual layer of fascia in the body. Fascia is described as a bio-electric structural support system that inter-connects all of the organ systems. Restrictions or stuck points in the fascia can lead to muscle trigger points in the muscles, skeletal misalignment and organ dis-function in the entire body, regardless of location of initial tissue trauma. This technique is best for relieving chronic pain caused by old injuries, scars, or surgeries. MFR works directly with the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system and is performed with no lotion or oil. Techniques used include: dry spreading, deep elbow stripping, deep pin and slow stretching, active stretching, and deep breath work. 

Additional information about this technique located on Certifications page.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)

Trigger-points cause localized and referred pain along the fascia lines of the muscle and into the surrounding synergistic (helper) and antagonist (counteracting) muscles. This massage style works directly with the sympathetic nervous system, or fight-flight part of the autonomic nervous system, and includes deep elbow stripping of the muscle fibers, longitudinal, cross-fiber, and circular friction of effected muscles, tendons, and ligaments, pinning of trigger-point and passive stretching of the effected muscle.

Additional information about this technique located on Certifications page.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed for supporting a pregnant woman through the transitional phases of growing a human life. Throughout the stages of pregnancy a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical, hormonal, digestive, mental, and emotional changes. Using bolsters and pillows to provide a comfortable and supportive position, as well as Swedish massage style effleurage, petrissage, and gentle compression techniques mixed with energy work; this massage modality helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy.

• Improves breathing and cellular respiration
• Creates a state of relaxation.
• Helps balance hormones
• Promotes healthy fetal development

Reflexology

Reflexology focuses the entire massage session working the feet, hands, and ears. The theory behind this modality is, that since our feet are the foundation of our postural alignment and our connection to mother earth itself, the entire body can be relieved from pain and discomfort by working the meridians (or energy channel end points) in your feet with acupressure, ankle range of motion, and toe traction. Since our hands are very much like our feet and have similar energy end points, they are worked the same way as the feet. The ears, however, are more often used for acupuncture points, and thus receive only gentle squeezes and pulls of the cartilage in this massage style. This session will make your feet feel like you're walking on clouds and your hands feel like helium balloons. (floating!)

Sonic Massage

Sonic Massage or singing bowl sound therapy is a deeply relaxing vibrational sound session that re-energizes and rejuvenates the body, mind, and spirit. From the science of cymatics, sound therapy has been proven to restructure the crystallization of the body at a cellular level. Similar to a yoga sound bath or sound experience, except this session is one on one, and the bowls are around and on the body.

While music therapy uses a song or mantra to heal the body by influencing the emotions and mind, then the body in a psychological approach, sound therapy relies on resonance, entrainment, and vibration to affect the body first, then the mind in a physiological approach. This method works by effecting the neo cortex, by electrically charging the brain through sound waves produced by the sound bowls.

Benefits Include:

• Shifting into a deeper state of consciousness
• Disconnecting us from habitual patterns
• Allowing the body to reinstate its' own resonance
• Providing an opportunity for the body to heal itself through active listening

Luxury Sessions

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot stone massage has been around for over 5,000 years as a way to reduce muscle tension and relieve pain. It is thought that the stones possess healing properties of their own and add a grounding natural vibration to amplify the massage techniques and bring greater benefit to the session. The stones are heated to a temperature of 120°-130° Fahrenheit, softening the superficial tissues, and allowing the therapist to release and work towards the deeper tissue issues without causing discomfort. Smooth basalt stones are used in gliding effleurage, stone striping, stone compression, and stone acupressure to provide a dreamlike state of relaxation and muscle restoration. 

Benefits Include:

• Reduce muscle tension
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Promotes sleep
• Increases blood flow
• Increased cellular respiration 

Raindrop Massage

Raindrop Massage is a protocol specific application of essential oils to the feet and spine.

Life & Wellness Coaching

Is life stressing you out and you need someone to listen but don't know who to call, or simply want to discuss things with a person who isn't involved in your daily life? Do the challenges of life seem to be keeping you stuck in a rut and you can't seem to find the right path or are just confused about what steps to take? Are you wanting to make healthier life choices but feel overwhelmed by the abundance of information out there and unsure of where or how to start? I've been there too, and I know just how to take the baby steps needed to get you back on track and will lead to long-term healthy lifestyle change. From nutrition and fitness, to maintaining daily tasks and allowing the body to rest, finding what works best for you and creating balance all areas of life is the golden ticket to manifesting peace of mind. 

Whether you need help reaching a specific goal or just need a listening ear, the power of communication can help. Talking about your problems and/or dreams is the first step to letting go of the issues that hold you back so that you can create a life you truly love to live. As a certified Oola life coach, I work with you to balance the important things in life: Family, Friends, Finances, Fitness, (Career) Field, Fun, & Faith. Even if only one area of life seems out of balance for you, they all influence and effect one another. 

In addition to balancing these main areas, I also hold safe space for repressed traumas to been seen, felt, and heard so it no longer remains "stuck" in the tissues. I use a multifaceted approach to helping each individual discover their true self so that they can reach their highest potential. I believe that in order to live authentically, one must strive for a healthy body, mind, and soul, which encompasses every aspect of what we put on and into our bodies, as well as letting go of what no longer serves us.
