Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.

The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.

A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.

There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.

Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

Adding CBD to your massage can help your body relax, recover and release tension. It also offers several other benefits, including stress relief and pain management. These massage oils can ease sore muscles — even the ones that feel stiff and uncomfortable during your massage. Stress Relief One of the biggest benefits of using CBD oil is stress relief. Many sufferers of chronic stress and anxiety claim that CBD can help them relax. Many patients have even kicked their traditional pharmaceuticals to the curb, including anxiety and depression meds, after using CBD for an extended amount of time. When you use a CBD massage oil, you can kick your massage’s stress relief benefits up a notch. Not only are you able to relax on the table, but you’ll feel super chill for the rest of the day. Pain Management One of the main uses for CBD oil is pain management. People who suffer from chronic pain (especially pain that isn’t easily managed) have found relief thanks to CBD. When you incorporate CBD oil into your massage, your muscles have an easier time relaxing. People who suffer from chronic back pain have noted that adding CBD to their assage oil offers relief that they wouldn’t normally experience with a regular massage. CBD has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties (similar to aspirin). Your body’s eceptors receive signals from the CBD that they can “chill out,” and your body responds accordingly. Ease Sore Muscles You don’t need to suffer from chronic pain or arthritis to reap the benefits of a CBD massage. In addition to chronic pain, CBD can also ease sore muscles. Many athletes have used CBD oil to relieve the tension in sore muscles. Runners in particular have reported that their muscles can recover quicker after using CBD. Many runners use it in place of OTC pain relievers, like ibuprofen and NSAIDs. Aid in Relaxation Finally, CBD can help you relax during your massage, after your massage and before you lay you down to sleep. It’s been known to continue to help with relaxation throughout the day — and sometimes even keeps working through the following day. Insomniacs have begun using CBD to help them fall asleep at night. You can expect a great night’s sleep after getting a CBD massage, even if that massage was earlier in the day.

CBD cream can help alleviate pain from several sources, whether you need something to soothe your horrible sunburn or a way to cope with the crippling pain of arthritis. CBD cream can be used to treat a very specific area of your body that’s experiencing pain. If you take CBD oil for a sore muscle, you’ll get a general pain relief throughout your entire body, but the muscle pain itself may not completely disappear. On the other hand, if you apply CBD cream to your sore muscle, all of CBD’s pain-relieving effects will focus on that one area. The CBD in the topical combines with the CB2 receptors in our skin. When you rub CBD cream on your joints, it uses its anti-inflammatory properties to provide rapid and long-lasting pain relief in a specific area. As a result, you benefit from a soothing sensation on swollen joints which should lead to improved mobility. As well as being the ideal solution for people who have arthritis, CBD cream may help with the following conditions: • Chronic pain • Acute pain • Sore muscles • Sore joints • Eczema • Psoriasis • Skin infections • Rashes • Burns

The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite.

Reiki works on different levels the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual enhancing everything in life.
