Life Source Massage Studios

Offerings

 Below you will find a list with descriptions of different offerings and modalities for your healing and transformation but I want you to know I integrate aspects of these many modalities into my work. Your journey towards healing is unique and so what your body calls for is the technique or pathway we will take. Every step along your journey will be discussed before proceeding.

 

​

Emotion Code and Body Code
With The Emotion Code and Body Code Therapies you will expose subconscious barriers that may be contributing to your physical and emotional distress. Release potentially harmful energies in minutes. Empower yourself to restore emotional and physical balance. This can be done by proxy and remote sessions. This work is transforming lives around the planet.Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow. I use tone therapy and singing bowls to reset chakras.

Voice Therapy
With Voice Therapy is the most powerful and reconnection therapy I have ever used or seen in all my years of practice. We often use habitual voices that serve us  by allowing us to survive or make ourselves small to avoid abuse or trauma. Reconnecting and reawakening your natural voice will heal and transform your psyche and spirit in ways that cannot be described but only experienced. We use Shakespeare as our primary source text because his works are human emotions at their most distilled. Learn how to ground yourself in upsetting situations, to breathe and hold presence and power, how to express your thoughts, emotions and interests in ways that cannot be ignored. Learn to hear and to speak. Your life and your relationships will be transformed.

​

Swedish Massage
I love Swedish massage and utilize many of its movements in all my sessions. Whilst it is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork it can also invigorate and inspire. It was originally created to be done in a 30 minutes session where every part of the body was affected. Now we prefer at least an hour for full benefits. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. You will love it!

​

Active Isolated Stretching
Developed by Aaron Mattes, Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic system for improving your flexibility and overall well-being. As you probably already know, stretching your muscles not only reduces your chance of injury, but also strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation. I use AIS in many of my Parkinson's clients as it helps release dopamine into the system. At Life Source we have a private exercise area with an array of equipment and source material to work from. One can book the room for an private workout using our key code or book with a Private Trainer.

​

Acupressure
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia. I have incorporated the use of Kansa wands in this session for added benefit.

​

Chair Massage
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.

​

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Structural Integration
Structural integration employs soft tissue manipulation with the goal of realigning the body in relationship to the force of gravity. The theory underlying structural integration asserts that often the body's connective tissue is "bound up," thus restricting opposing muscles from working independently of one another. Thus, we aim to loosen the restricted connective tissue by using a practice very similar to deep tissue massage. Practitioners typically prescribe a specific sequence of ten sessions lasting between 75 and 90 minutes in order to "unlock" the whole body.

​

Myofascial Massage
Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.

​

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain. Please note that open and end  all sessions with Reiki energy. 

​

Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.

​

Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.

​

Movement Education
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
