Being in our body is not something we often think about during our day to day toil. We ignore our bodies, the tension and tighness in order to get our lives done. It is not until we feel pain or discomfort do we start to notice our body. Massage is vital to staying fluid and comfortable in our body.
Tuning into our body’s wisdom is the most fascinating, and healing way to start to bring health to all aspects of your life. Through massage we start to be "in our body" so we can be in our world.
Living Well offers several types of massage that can heal you and bring you into Bliss. Massage range ($85-$115 for a 60-minute massage)
Swedish Massage
Is the most popular massage technique. Swedish massage includes long, relaxing strokes, kneading, friction, and tapping motions. It is effective for balancing the nervous system, muscles, circulation and glands, while promoting health and well-being. Swedish massage helps release the body of unwanted strain and stress. Your body will feel rested and your mind at ease for a total pampering experience.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is the best relaxing deep tissue massage to help stubborn muscles release and relax. An ancient body healing practice that alleviates stress with the massage of smooth, heated basalt stones to deeply penetrate aching body muscles and banish body fatigue.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral is a gentle yet powerful healing modality uses energy and gentle manipulation to effect direct and remote release of pain and tension. It also works with moving the bones of the skull to relieve pressures from compressions that can cause such diverse problems as headaches, migraines, sinus problems, depression and chronic fatigue. This form of bodywork is deeply and progressively relaxing to the nervous system.
Mom-to-Be
This ultra-massage for expecting mothers uses soothing strokes and stretching techniques provide the ultimate in maximum relaxation and restorative comfort for mothers-to-be. This treatment is appropriate for guests past their first trimester.
Bowen Technique & Neuro-Structural Technique (NST)
The Bowen Technique was developed in Australia by the late Mr. Tom Bowen. It is a unique form of neuromuscular repatterning. It works primarily through the nervous system on both structural and energetic levels. The technique is gentle and noninvasive, and can be performed through clothing.
The Bowen Technique is a completely new concept in bodywork. It is neither derived from nor similar to any other physical modality.
- Misalignments commonly right themselves – yet there is no manipulation of joints or bones as in chiropractic.
- Muscle tensions and strains are relieved and normal lymphatic flow is restored – yet muscles are not squeezed as in massage.
- Meridians show immediate improvements – yet the work is not based on meridians and does not resemble acupuncture or acupressure.
- Fascia rehydrates, adhesions release and scar tissue softens – yet there is no heavy pressure as in Rolfing or deep tissue work.
- Internal psychological shifts are common – yet it is not necessary to evoke emotional response as in mind-body therapies.
- Nearly everyone reports a pleasant, relaxed state and a deep sense of well-being and ease.
Bowen Therapy is completely safe and appropriate for everyone from the highly trained athlete to newborns, pregnant women, elderly and the chronically ill. Bowen has been successful in treating musculoskeletal problems, such as back and neck pain, scoliosis, sporting injuries, TMJ misalignment, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also renowned for its effectiveness with internal conditions, such as migraines, digestive and elimination complaints, colic in babies, and respiratory problems, including asthma.
A Bowen treatment consists of gentle rolling movements. These stimulations activate a systemic response so powerful that a few minutes’ pause is observed to allow them to be integrated. A pattern of movements and pauses continues throughout the treatment. The rhythm is soothing, and most clients fall asleep at least once during the session. Benefits are usually apparent within a few sessions, even when long-standing conditions are being treated. Bowen results are lasting and profound. |
