Massage Basics

Massage is the practice of applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, lymphatic vessels, and organs of the gastrointestinal system to achieve a beneficial response. Massage Therapy is performed primarily by a professional Massage Therapist but is often used as a form of therapy by other Healthcare practitioners such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physical Therapists.

The types of massage I offer aid the processes of injury healing, relief of psychological stress, for pain management pain, and for the improvement of circulation. Explanation of the types of massage I am qualified to offer are listed in the Profile and Credentials section below.

In my practice I want you to be comfortable, therefore I have several treatment options available that involve lying on a massage table, sitting upright in a massage chair, or lying on a pad on the floor.

Communication

Good communication is essential to effective massage. Before we begin we will discuss the type of treatment expected: intention of the massage, areas to be massaged and to be avoided in full body massage, the amount of pressure that is comfortable, preferred techniques and how they will affect your body and overall wellbeing. Your first visit will include discussion of your medical history and current physical condition.

I offer Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, EMDR, EFT, Reiki and Healing Touch to help you manage stress and anxiety,heal trauma, resolve past issues that create self-sabotaging patterns, be free of addictions, and much more.

There are many applications for the use of hypnosis in healing because it is the most practical way to make changes on a subconscious level. The subconscious mind holds our beliefs, our values and the underlying causes of our behaviors, emotional states and the choices we make.

Hypnosis is very effective because it allows us to bypass the conscious mind, access the extraordinary subconscious and transform any negative and outdated programming that might be inhibiting healing and positive growth.

EMDR is a scientifically validated integrative psychotherapy. It is grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing model and is used to resolve disturbing emotional material resulting from a traumatic or distressing event. Not only does EMDR relieve one of upsetting thoughts, images and emotions it can quickly facilitate positive healing and growth.

When my clients are open to the idea I integrate into my work Reiki and Healing Touch which are ancient forms of healing using laying-on of hands and energy based techniques to re-align the energy flow, release deep tension and holding patterns.

The Ayurvedic Rehabilitation Center provides Ayurvedic constitutional Analysis, yoga classes, bodywork and counseling, based upon a system of healing that orignated in India thousands of years ago.

In Ayurveda, there are five elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth) which are combined into sub-systems called doshas. These are Vata, (ether,air), Pitta (fire), Kapha (water, earth). Every person is a unique combination of these three doshas and will have different requirements in terms of diet, herbs, yoga practice and lifestyle.

Jin Shin Jyutsu® harmonizes body, mind and spirit. Literally, Jin Shin Jyutsu® means “Art of the Creator expressed through knowing and compassionate man”.

Jin Shin Jyutsu® involves the application of hands for gently balancing the flow of life energy in the body. It is an awakening to awareness of complete harmony within the self and the universe.

This simple, yet incredibly powerful art was rediscovered in Japan in the beginning of the twentieth century by Jiro Murai, and brought to the west by Mary Burmeister in the 1950s.

A Jin Shin Jyutsu® session generally lasts an hour. The work is very gentle with hands placed over the client's clothes and does not involve manipulation, massage or rubbing. As the energy flows freely, the body will heal itself from everyday stress.

While Jin Shin Jyutsu® shares lineage and similar concepts with other energy work and healing modalities like acupuncture, Jin Shin Jyutsu® is exceptionally gentle and non-invasive.

It boosts our own profound healing capacities and thus promotes optimal health, well-being and vitality. It is a valuable complement to conventional healing methods, inducing relaxation and reducing the effects of stress.

Benefits extend well beyond hands-on sessions with a practitioner, as clients learn application of self help geared toward their individual needs.

Healing the Body through the complimentary & alternative practices of Reflexology Therapy & Reiki Healing.

Reflexology helps your body to heal itself by:

• Relieving stress and muscular tension.

• Improving blood circulation.

• Opening congested or blocked energy/nerve pathways.

• Cleansing the body of toxins.

• Revitalizing bodily energy.

• Promoting homeostasis (balance) throughout the body.

Throughout the medical profession, doctors agree that most of our health problems can be linked to nervous stress and tension. Reflexology is a distinctive healing modality that has been proven effective in relieving stress and tension, relieving pain, and addressing many health problems.

Reflexology is a science that works on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all of the glands, organs and systems of the body. It is a unique method of compression using the thumb and fingers on these reflexes to relax the body while stimulating electrical nerve impulses, which releases blocked or congested nerve pathways. This improves blood circulation, promotes the stimulation of sluggish glands and organs, and helps normalize the body’s natural balance. It cannot harm the body—it simply brings it back into balance. Reflexology works on the body internally through nerve reflexes and therefore should not be compared to massage therapy, which is external.

Reflexology as a pressure therapy has been used by many cultures throughout history. Many believe it originated in China 5,000 years ago and has historical links with acupuncture and acupressure. Others believe that it originated in ancient Babylonian or Egyptian periods. The oldest proof of reflexology we have is a pictograph dated around 2330 B.C. found in the tomb of an Egyptian physician at Saqqara, Egypt. It depicts two men working on the feet and hands of two other men.

"Every patient that I operate on at New York Presbyterian Hospital gets a reflexology type treatment ..." Dr. Mehmet Oz, Professor of Surgery, Columbia University

Reiki (pronounced, ray-key) is a practice used to promote relaxation and healing and to reduce stress. This is done through the “laying on of hands”—a technique that has been practiced for thousands of years. Reiki energy flows through the practitioner to the receiver. Reiki removes negative energy blocks and raises the vibrational frequency of the recipient’s energy, thereby facilitating physical, mental, and emotional healing.

“There is no power greater than the flow of life-force energy through the hands.” Paramahansa Yogananda

Annym Billagh is an ancient system of healing, originating from my ancestral path with roots in the British Isles, specifically,the Isle of Man. It is possible that something similar was used by the Druids, in particular, the Bandrui, the women who served the people as seers, healers, and wise women. Certainly whether Druid or not, the techniques of drawing on the energy of the Earth, Sky and Sea is as ancient as we are as a people. It is based on the knowledge that we are all One, living in a world supported by the Earth at our feet, the Sea from which all life comes, and the Sky, source of our breath, inspired by the Fire of Inspiration, blessed by all that is Divine.

Annym means 'inspiration', 'muse', 'genius', or 'poetic frenzy', ‘a fluid, a flowing', and 'a living principle, a being, a spirit, essential.' Billagh is a tree or a woody grove of trees.

Let me share the words of Taliesin, Ancient Bard …

The Annym I sing,

From the deep I bring it,

A river while it flows,

I know its extent;

I know when it disappears;

I know when it fills;

I know when it overflows;

I know when it shrinks;

I know what base

There is beneath the sea.

Annym, the 'flowing spirit', is a river, drawn from the sea by the poet's singing. The 'sea' could be a reference to the all-encompassing spirit that surrounds us, the 'river' being that portion which we may draw into ourselves or which resides within as our spiritual essence. Annym is ours by drinking from the Cauldron of the Goddess.

For me, when I see or hear the word, I think of ancient groves of trees with moonlight streaming through them and those ancient beings, Druid and Bandrui their blessed connection to Earth, Sea and Sky… repeatedly referred to in the bardic writings is lore relative to the origins of its alphabet, its relationship to trees and the Goddess.

Every object in the physical realm holds this spirit or Annym. Every tree, bird, animal, reptile, fish, every blade of grass and every other thing we know or can dream of holds within its own Annym, all part of the greater whole. Annym is not born, and never dies.

We connect to the Annym of the Earth by drawing her power through us as and becoming “agents” of her healing. We connect to the Annym of our kindred, the trees, seeking their specific healing energies generously shared with us. Annym spiritually awakens and restores balance for those who are depleted or out of balance or in a state of dis-ease, blocked or hindered in their ability to achieve wholeness, happiness, and joy in all aspects of their lives. Annym awakens, invigorates, and inspires.

Annym Billagh consists of inner work, breathing and meditation, hands on energy healing, internal use and topical application of the essences of the trees, Ogham healing symbols, and working with our kindred for integrating wholeness and well-being in our lives.
