Myofascial Release
Therapy
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE THERAPY is a treatment that involves a mild
and gentle form of relaxing the fascial connective tissue. When an injury
scars or hardens the fascia in one area, it can put tension on other areas of
the body even some distance from the injured area. The key to success is the
teamwork between the practitioner and the patient with both being actively
committed.
Cranial Sacral
Therapy
Cranial-sacral
massage is a type of light massage pressure on the connective tissue of the
head and lower back. This use of light pressure frees restrictions of
movement. A healing modality developed by an osteopath early in the twentieth
century, cranial-sacral massage recognizes the intrinsic movements of the
bones of the skull and the subtle, but measurable, rhythmic tidal motions in
the spinal column and brain and their expression of the health of the system.
This therapy aids many conditions, restoring the flow of energy, reinstating
physical, emotional and mental well being.
Reiki
Reiki
(pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of natural healing based on the
application of Universal Life Force Energy). Reiki is the laying of
hands in numerous positions on the body. Using energy, the practitioner can
assist the client in helping to heal. There is no kneading or rubbing with
Reiki, it is simply the transference of energies where the practitioner acts
as a conduit for the energies. Reiki sessions can last from 5 minutes in one
area up to an hour session in several areas of the body.
River Stone Therapy
The Tuolumne River flows from
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, bringing to the Great Central Valley the stones
that make up the backbone of these majestic peaks. My children and I have
gathered these stones from the Tuolumne River. The ancient Indians say, “The
story is in the stones.” I take that to heart and say, “The story for healing
is also in the stones, waiting to be experienced.” Heating the stones in water
and allowing them to reach a warm soothing temperature, releases their healing
energy. The warm stones provide the communicating energy to the muscles of
your body to relax, be invigorated and cleansed. River Stone Therapy is a
marvelous way to tell your body thank you.
Fire and Water Dual Therapy
Mike
and Jillian use a unique form of blended team therapies to allow each person
their own movement into wellness. These therapies include Myofascial Release,
Lomi Lomi with Warm Stones, Aromatherapy, Su Jok, Reflexology, Drums, and
Essence Retrieval.
Mike
and Jillian create through traditional ways a synergistic balance. Synergy is
the interaction of elements that produces a total effect that is greater than
the sum of the individual elements, e.g. Fire (male energy) + Water
(female energy) = Steam (a powerful release).

Reflexology
Reflexology
is a holistic healing method in which the thumb, fingers and hands are used to
apply pressure to reflex areas of the feet, hands and ears in order to
decrease stress and bring the body into balance. When the body's systems are
at optimal functioning, self-healing is enhanced.
Essence Retrieval
Do you
feel disconnected, disassociated from life, or spaced out? Are you observing
life as if you were in a movie? Is chronic depression and fragmented thought
part of your life? Are you empty………………..?
According to psychotherapist and Shamanic practitioner Sandra Ingerman, “…in
almost all Shamanic cultures around the world, illness was seen as due to the
lost of the soul.” Losing a piece of your essence can result in illness or
emotional feelings of emptiness. So, how do you retrieve the parts of your
lost essence? One way is to have someone intercede in your behalf, and
retrieve that part of your essence that has been lost.
Trigger Point
Therapy
Trigger points
are accumulations of waste products around a nerve receptor. Often times they
feel like nodules or taut bands of fibers within the soft tissues. Trigger
points form in muscles, which have been overused or injured due to an accident
or surgery. Common characteristics are increased muscle tension and muscle
shortening. Increased muscle tension is the primary side effect of trigger
points and pain is the most common secondary effect. Trigger points can
present themselves as
referred patterns of
sensation such as sharp pain, dull ache, tingling, pins and
needles, hot or cold, as well as can create symptoms such as nausea, ear ache,
equilibrium disturbance, or blurred vision.
