Macrobiotic Menu Planning
 During this session the counselor will help you design a week-long menu plan that is balanced and manageable in your life.
If you have previously had a macrobiotic consultation, the menu planning session will take the counselor's recommendations into consideration. In this case, it is
helpful to bring your counselor's recommendations to the menu
planning session.

 Feldenkrais Functional Integration�
 Can't lift your arms beyond your shoulders or bend your neck comfortably? Have hip replacement surgery, scoliosis, or recovering from a stroke? Looking for better balance and to feel secure on both feet (or one)?
This modality is fantastic for anyone with serious neurological concerns, chronic aches and pains, as well as healthy individuals who want to move with more grace, freedom, and ease.
A single session will recharge communication between your brain, muscles, and skeletal configuration; multiple sessions can be transformative in the way you move and feel about your body, increasing motor-spatial responses, and returning your body to childhood movement and flexibility.
This internationally known method is part of holistic practices worldwide, particularly in Europe, Israel, and Australia. Every session is custom-tailored for the individual, using very gentle manipulations, on the clothed body.
Sessions convey the experience of comfort, pleasure, and mobility, as you explore more efficient, effective patterns of movement. With the guidance of the practitioner, your primary goal is to become more conscious of how you "organize" your body's motions, and how you can move into more expanded, functional, and broader range-of-motion patterns and improve movement in daily life.

Shiatsu Therapy
 Shiatsu literally translated means "finger pressure". We strongly recommend Shiatsu Therapy to anyone who wants to use a holistic approach to recover health or improve present health conditions.
The purpose of Shiatsu therapy is restoration of the holistic nature of the client's body, mind and spirit, a condition where peace and harmony replace disorder. According to oriental medicine, of which Shiatsu is an intrinsic part, the body has twelve basic energy channels called meridians. These form the energetic background of the visible anatomic organs and are the source of all vital functions. Therefore, each meridian corresponds to an organ system such as the kidney meridian, spleen meridian, lung meridian, etc.
Practitioners apply pressure along the meridians, which promotes the body's ability to heal itself. It also reenergizes the optimal flow of life energy, also known as ki, in addition to increasing the blood flow to all vital organs and systems of the body, reducing muscle tension and stress.
Sessions last about an hour, and include an evaluation of general energy flow and vitality, the dissolving of energy blockages in the meridians, application of pressure to meridian points along meridians on the back, torso, legs, arms and head, and gentle stretches and rotations of the arms and legs to eliminate any energetic stagnation in the joints. After a treatment clients usually feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time, and experience a sense of deeper sense of harmony and wholeness.

 This style employs oil or lotion on the skin in a circulatory manner to relax and release toxins from the muscles and return blood flow toward the heart. It keeps tendons and ligaments supple and pliable while manipulating, organizing, and aligning layers of skin, fascia, and muscles. Firm, gentle pressure using a choice of stroking. Kneading, friction, vibration, tapping, soft shaking, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, lymph drainage, moderate range of motion stretches, and energy work (Reiki and Polarity) are a collection of modern techniques employed in this modality, bringing about uplifting benefits for the body and mind.
This is a custom designed massage. Pressure, techniques and use of oils are reduced depending upon one's medical condition.
