What is Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork?

Therapeutic massage & bodywork sessions utilize a holistic and trauma-informed approach to wellness. By targeting specific muscular, fascial, and nervous system patterns, as well as working with individuals on a holistic level, this work can be used to:

• promote pain relief
• reduce inflammation
• improve mobility and flexibility
• support nervous system regulation
• boost immune function
• improve circulation
• strengthen/deepen body awareness
• address and prevent injuries
• contribute to emotional well-being

Incorporating Reiki into Massage

Reiki is an energy healing practice that supports overall balance and a direct connection to your authentic self, impacting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Using light touch (or no touch at all), Reiki is used to promote energetic awareness and facilitate your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Benefits of Combining Reiki with Massage

Incorporating Reiki into your session provides a powerful blend of physical and energetic healing. Here are some of the benefits:

• Enhanced Relaxation: Reiki energy work can deepen your state of relaxation, allowing the body to become more receptive and more fully release tension.
• Holistic Healing: Reiki works on physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels, providing a more holistic session than massage alone.
• Stress Reduction: This combination offers a enhanced and holistic approach to reducing stress, supporting a calm, meditative state.
• Pain Relief: Reiki helps to address the energetic root of pain, while massage directly targets muscle tension and injury recovery.
