ReflexologyA therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and hands using finger and thumb techniques, relieving stress and tension and improving circulation. It's based on the principle that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands, which correspond to all areas of the body. In a reclining position moderate pressure on these specific reflex points, opens up blockages, promoting the natural functioning of the body. Regular treatments help balance the body, cleanse the body of toxins, and contribute to health maintenance.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word pronounced "ray-key" meaning spiritually guided universal life energy. Hands are strategically placed on the person's clothed body, and allow the person to draw in as much energy as they want or need. Reiki energy is often experienced as warmth or tingling that goes to wherever the person needs it and facilitates the recipient's own healing process.
Therapeutic TouchA contemporary interpretation of ancient healing practices, Therapeutic Touch (TT) is the use of hands 2 to 4 inches from the client's body to balance and restore energy, in order to induce relaxation, reduce anxiety, change the perception of pain and facilitate the body's innate ability to heal. Developed in the early 1970's by Professor of Nursing Dolores Krieger PhD., R.N. at New York University and Doris Kung, TT is taught in numerous colleges and universities and practiced by thousands of health professionals, holistic practitioners and lay people around the world.
