LaStone Therapy

A deep heat treatment using basalt stones, quartz crystals, and chilled marble. Your body is massaged with oiled, heated stones in addition to layouts. If you are drawn to stones and crystals, you'll love this treatment.

Maternity Massage

Soothing massage using the Body Cushion System. Helps the flow of blood and lymph, eases many of pregnancy's discomforts, and is physically and emotionally nurturing. Highly emollient and unscented cream or oil is used to nourish the skin as well. See our Prenatal and Mom & Baby Yoga classes.

Thai-Yoga Bodywork

Facilitated stretching with compression along energy lines and rhythmic movement of blood and lymph. Deeply meditative, performed through the clothing on a thick mat.

Sports Massage with Facilitated Stretching

Targets structural imbalances and fascial adhesions that restrict the range of motion. Accelerates athletic recovery and encourages optimal movement patterns.

Energy Work (Brennan Healing Science)

Brennan Healing Science addresses areas of blockage in the flow of energy, emotions, thoughts, intention and inspiration. Organs, fluids, joints and other physical structures are worked with in addition to chakras, meridians, and life patterns. Expands and deepens our connection with the Divine.

Acupressure

Focuses on restoring the flow of chi or prana through the meridians. Excellent post-op treatment, and for chronic organ and joint conditions.

Crystal Bowl

Each bodywork treatment concludes with gentle crystal bowl chords and binaural beats to reinforce and integrate the positive changes that took place during the session.

Tuning Fork

Eileen McKusick’s Biofield® tuning forks and John Beaulieu’s Biosonic® tuning forks are used in the auric field and on the body.  These high-quality instruments create true sustained tones with overtones.  Their use helps clients release blockages and connect inward into their own resonant field.  Can be combined with massage and other sound healing instruments.

Integrated Sessions

Clients share what areas they’d like to concentrate on at the beginning.  After a few clarifying questions, I use modalities and pressure best suited to the individual and their presenting complaints.  During the flow of the session other areas may surface for healing.  My intention is to help the client relax and release, and to facilitate each person’s inner capacity for healing.

Sound Healing

Clients may choose to focus on sound resonance as a vehicle for meditation and healing.  Clients participate in planning their session based on goals, intention, and most nourishing sounds.  Stowe Sound Immersion® events are an excellent way to experience layered sound possibilities available in designing a private session.
