Description of Services

• Matrix Energetics™ – The Science and Art of Transformation – as taught by Richard Bartlett, DC, ND
• Traditional Swedish - Soothing, flowing, and rhythmic, this relaxing massage has light to medium pressure, traditionally addresses the full body, and allows for focused work in your problem areas.
• Tui Na - Chinese Therapeutic Massage , this clothed massage is an excellent way to address excess stress or specific conditions through hand-rolling, acupressure, and joint movement. Traditionally done with deep pressure, this modality can easily be modified to lighter, intention-filled work that is just as powerful and more compatible with the IMT approach.
• Shiatsu - A Japanese massage rooted in ancient healing practices, Shiatsu is very calming and especially great for addressing fatigue and chronic conditions. Shiatsu is a clothed massage mixing firm, rhythmic palm pressure, point work, and assisted stretching to balance the whole body and mind.
• Reiki - Subtle energetic work, Reiki involves hand positions held on or over the body to focus healing energy, balance the mind and spirit, and induce relaxation.
• Integrated - A Swedish-based massage including elements from various traditions such as Shiatsu, Tui Na, and Myofascial Release. Creatively customized to the specific needs and preferences of the recipient.
