Polarity Therapy

A form of hands-on energy therapy based in ancient wisdom from Hermeticism, Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, created by Dr. Randolf Stone, correcting energy imbalances, disturbances, or blockages in the body that result in dis-ease.

CranioSacral Therapy

Pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger, CST, is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the physiological body, using a soft touch to release restrictions in the craniosacral system.

Cupping

Discovered in Eber’s papyrus (1550 B.C.) from Ancient Egypt, Cupping is an alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction is thought to improve the flow of energy in the body and facilitate healing by bringing rich oxygenated blood to the fascia.

Acupressure

Similar to Acupuncture, Acupressure encourages the movement of qi ("life energy") through the 14 channels (meridians) inside the body. Instead of using needles to move Qi, the practitioner uses their fingers, palms, elbows or special devices to apply pressure to the acupoints to help return flow.
