Wellness Bodywork

MLD Vodder technique uses gentle, rhythmic massage strokes intended to stretch the skin near lymph nodes and direct excess fluid and swelling toward  the heart and ultimately to be filtered through the liver and kidneys. This aids the body’s natural detoxification system and can ease symptoms of  seasonal allergies, sinus headaches, chronic inflammation and fatigue, cellulite, acne and is the gold standard treatment for primary and secondary lymphedema conditions.

CranioSacral Therapy is a manual therapy used to treat not only the patient’s body, but the whole person as well. CST uses a gentle touch through which we can have direct influence on the craniosacral system while indirectly having a positive impact on all the functions and systems of the body as a whole. CranioSacral Therapy supports and enhances the self-healing mechanism within all of us.

*These sessions can be received while wearing soft clothing or disrobed as part of an integrated session.

Traditional Basalt and exfoliating Salt stones are first heated and then used as a heavy warm extension of the hand. By incorporating targeted heat into your therapeutic massage tense, sore muscles begin to melt under the warm and soothing weight of the stones. Easing pain and providing deep relief without excessive pressure, the combination of Basalt and Salt stones are ionizing and invigorating for the body while being deeply grounding for the senses.

This style of bodywork focuses on relieving trigger points and chronically tight muscles that inhibit functional joint movement, blood flow and ability for lymphatic system to cleanse muscles, skin, lymph nodes and organs. Moderate to heavier pressure similar to traditional massage allows for connection to deep skeletal muscles, their attachment points and connective tissue without over working the muscles as can happen with traditional deep tissue massage.
