Esalen
Esalen Massage is characterized by long sweeping oiled strokes punctuated with deep specific work, passive joint movement and personal connection to create a state of awareness and energized relaxation in the receiver. The emphasis is less on stimulating physiological processes than on creating an environment to inwardly sense one’s body with the able guidance of the massage therapist. This holistic approach joins body to mind and soul.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a complete system of healing through touch, developed in Japan. Shiatsu technique involves stretching, holding and leaning body weight into various parts of the recipient’s body to improve energy flow, blood circulation, flexibility and posture. Pressure and contact is applied through the hands, thumbs, forearms and elbow. Treatment is focused along specific channels/meridians of subtle bodily energy called Ki. Ki is the life force which sustains every activity of the body, mind and spirit.
Feet-Hands-Head
Feet-Hands-Head is a short, but effective massage targeting key streams of energy on the body to affect the whole. The client feels relaxed and revitalized at the same time.
Reiki
Reiki could be translated as “Universal Life Force Energy”. “Rei” means All That Is and “Ki” means life force energy. Already twice I was attuned to the Reiki energy in the tradition of Dr. Mikao Usui. During a session, I place my hands on the body of the client, allowing Reiki to flow through for facilitating self-healing, cultivating awareness and transformation. It is a way to rebalance ourselves in all levels and to help connecting with the source of all things.
