Healing the body, mind & spirit
​
Our well-being comes from not just physical health, but from our mental health and spiritual health as well. To be “healthy”, we must pay attention to all three aspects of our nature…our body, mind and spirit.
Calm the mind...
One major reason for stress, anxiety and fatigue is a pressured mind. Massage therapy helps to calm the mind which increases mental alertness and clear thinking. It also activates the sympathetic nervous system and improves a person's mood, therefore reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Heal the body...
Massage therapy is beneficial in many ways. It relaxes muscle tissue, which may lead to decreased nerve compression, increased joint space and range of motion. Massage therapy also improves circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells and helps remove waste products.
Balance the spirit...
Different techniques offer ways to balance our spiritual energy through touch. Anyone who turns to alternative healing techniques knows that massage is about more than just getting a relaxing backrub. Each style of massage offers distinct healing properties and connects with spiritual principles that go far beyond muscle tension alone.
