Shiatsu Therapy (clothed)

Olaf Fisher            1 hour      $95

Shiatsu, literally translated means "finger pressure." According to oriental medicine, 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. Practitioners apply pressure along the meridians, which correspond to each organ system, promoting the body's ability to heal. It also re energizes the optimal flow of life energy, or ki, in addition to increasing blood flow to all vital organs and systems of the body.

 

Sessions include an evaluation of general energy flow and vitality, dissolving energy blockages along meridians, and gentle stretches and rotations to eliminate energetic stagnation in the joints. After treatment clients usually feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time, experiencing a deeper sense of harmony and wholeness.

 

Restorative Massage (unclothed, with/without oil)

Misha Forrester     1 ¼ hour $95

 

This technique generally 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, but it can also focus on gentler, skin manipulations for specific lymph drainage needs. Massage keeps tendons and ligaments supple and pliable while organizing and aligning layers of skin and fascia. Firm, gentle pressure using stroking, kneading, friction, soft shaking, myofascial release, trigger points, moderate range of motion stretches, lymph drainage , and energy work (Reiki and Polarity) are a collection of modern techniques employed in this modality, bringing about lasting holistic benefits for the body and mind.

Note: This is a custom designed massage. Pressure, techniques, and use of oils are reduced depending one's medical or dietary needs.
