☺️ Good Afternoon! I’ve been super excited to share with all of you this absolute blissful and relaxing treatment I learned over the weekend! Definitely unique and an outstanding gift we are able to learn about.
It is called Ayurvedic Shirodhara and Abhyanga. Some interesting things about such name is Ayurvedic is composed of two words “Ayu” and “Veda” Ayu means life and Veda means knowledge or science. So the two words combine give the meaning “science of life” or “the knowledge about life”.
Shirodhara is pouring of oil, milk, or medicated buttermilk on the forehead continuously for a specific period of time.
“Shira” means head
“Seka” or “Dhara” means continuous flow
Abhyanga means anointing the body with oil. It is performed with warm oil and the course of the massage is rotated through seven traditional positions of the body including sitting, prone “face down”, side lying and supine “face up”. It is done in a certain pattern, direction and certain order until completed.
Prior to the Shirodhara the practitioner will anoint the body of the patient with oil. Ksheerabala oil is the oil most commonly used for this purpose and the massage itself is called Abhyanga.

Indications for such treatment:
•Neck and Shoulder Complaints
•Stiff Neck
•Headaches
•Insomnia
•Improves Mental Clarity
•Improves Memory
•Lower Anxiety
•Aids in Meditation and Concentration
•Calming

Contraindications:
•Pregnancy (any stage)
•Low Blood Pressure
•Rash, Cuts, Skin Problems
•Acute Stage Head-Neck Injury
•Head Tremors
•Drug- or Alcohol Intoxication

I get a lot of clients asking me “What is Craniosacral Therapy?” “How does it work and help the human body?” Well I am here to give you a little summary about Craniosacral Therapy “Balancing”.

Craniosacral Balancing (CST) provides a holding space that enables the natural rhythm of the body to get reestablished. Craniosacral is a gentle bodywork modality that removes restrictions throughout the body and realeases tension and undue pressure placed on the nervous system. CST comprises a light touch, or compression about the weight of a nickel placed on your arm. The application of light pressure is sufficient in helping to release restrictions, namely to the vital flow and movement of the cerebrospinal fluid. This modality is gentle and non-invasive, practically everyone can benefit from this bodywork. CST is effective with expecting mothers, newborn infants, children, and both younger and older adults. Those of us in great health to those experiencing illness, CST improves nearly everyone’s optimal functioning. A few conditions that have been improved with the help of Craniosacral Balancing are:

•Stress & Tension •Orthopedic Conditions
•Headaches •Spinal Cord Injuries
•Back Pain •Head Trauma
•Neck Pain •Birth Trauma
•TMJ Dysfunction
•Fibromyalgia
•Connective Tissue Disorders
•Chronic Fatigue
•Postural Imbalances

And much, much more! CST is such an amazing modality, definitely something to check out and give a try!

Happy New Year’s Everyone, I hope you all had blessed holidays. It was a busy but blessed one for me and definitely memorable. I just wanted to make a little post about what’s to come the next couple month. It’s the new year and everyone is always trying to be better about taking care of themselves. Well, with that being said I am doing a referral raffle starting now until March 10th. How that will work is every new client you refer and they come in for a massage treatment you get put in a raffle to win a prize. I will have two winners and will draw for that the following weekend. Once I get the prizes put together I will post a picture of what you will be trying to win! Referrals mean so much to me so I wanted to do something to show my appreciation. Thank you all for being such amazing and supportive customers, grateful is definitely an understatement!

Pelvic Floor and Core Workshop for Women 10/18/2022

One of my clients is teaching a pelvic floor and core workshop this Saturday the 22nd at 9:00 am. It will be at Legacy Fitness in the district. She is very talented and knows her stuff, I’d highly recommend going! If you are dealing with lower back pain or hip pain it’s more than likely your pelvic floor and not properly activating your core when working out! This will help benefit you in more ways than one.

The fact that I’ve only been practicing in my own business for a year and make the top 3 finalists makes me happy. I want to thank those of you who nominated me and voted for me, you have no idea how much appreciation I have for that. Hard work sure pays off and again am so thankful for each and everyone of my clients, you all make me love what I do even more! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this!

Goodmorning everyone, I hope your morning is a great one! Just popping on her to ask has anyone considered trying Craniosacral Therapy but wondered what it is and why it’s so AMAZING?!?! Well here is a little about it and why I love it so much. Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. It’s even more amazing when you combined it with a massage, it helps keep things loose and helps the body heal. I’ll post below the other benefits/things it helps with! I definitely recommend giving it a try! Also don’t forget to book an appointment while I still have some! I hope to see you all very soon! 🙂
