What kinds of body work do I use?
Trager® Bodywork uses penetrating, supportive touch and gentle movement to increase relaxation and mobility and further, to release stressful physical and emotional patterns. A full TRAGER session is 60 to 90 minutes, including tablework and movement re-education exercises. Some of the benefits of TRAGER are:
- discovery of pain-free ease in movement
- functional management of neuromuscular disorders
- more rapid recovery from injury, trauma, and surgery
- enhanced athletic performance and body awareness.
Therapeutic Massage is the careful manipulation of muscular, ligamental, and connective tissues. Massage helps:
- relax muscular tensions
- improve blood circulation and lymph drainage
- harmonize all the bodily functions and recuperative powers
The Usui System of Natural Healing is called Reiki - a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy. Reiki sessions are whole body treatments accomplished by the gentle placement of the practitioner's hands on particular positions on the client's body. The client receives the treatment while fully clothed on the bodywork table. Reiki can:
- quicken the body's natural ability to balance and heal itself
- promote deep relaxation and ease painful suffering
Rebirthing Breathwork is experiential in nature, self-activated by conscious rhythmic breathing. The process of consciously harmonizing with our inner vitality dissolves inhibiting psycho-emotional patterns. This practice can be learned privately on a one to one basis or in a group seminar situation through a series of sessions. Some of the benefits possible are:
- fuller, freer breathing and reduced stress
- greater self-understanding and trust in life
- an awakened feeling of vitality with each breath
