Therapeutic Alternatives offers several types of Massage Therapy and Reiki II and is available at my office or at a location of your choice for self, party, or office:

• The Midas Touch Reiki infused Therapeutic Relaxation Massage is my specialty and is a great Holistic massage incorporating benefits for mind, body, and spirit.  The genius within comes forward best when one is relaxed, knot free, quiet minded, and energy system balanced.  Come experience the difference that extensive physiological and energetic knowledge can bring to Massage Therapy.  You will be indulged and healed beyond anything you have ever experienced.  Get rid of that nagging low back pain and upper back and neck tightness while being whisked away to a euphoric place within that you can revisit whenever you are stressed.

• Relaxation Massage is a wonderful way to pamper and indulge yourself.  You deserve to reward yourself for triumphing over all of life's many challenges.  The nurturing touch of a professional  Massage Therapist, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, feels sumptuous.  Let the scents of Essential Oil Aromatherapy carry you to an inner space of peace, bliss, and euphoria.  People experience greater vitality, greater serenity, and greater joy with regular massage therapy.  Massage therapy has been proven to reduce stress and to help maintain optimum health.  Massage Therapy has been proven to reduce Cortisol(stress hormone) by over 50%.  It has also been shown to increase Serotonin(happy, calm neurotransmitter) by over 30%.  Psychologists recommend massage to improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and to improve one's awareness of and relationship to the body.  Relaxation massage is time to cherish yourself and is an excellent part of an overall wellness plan.

• Therapeutic Massage is ideal for working with most chronic pain, illness, and many injuries.  Massage has been shown to reduce pain, improve circulation, eliminate toxins, reduce blood pressure, boost immunity, and increase basal metabolic rate which slows with age thus returning level of vitality back to a more youthful rate.  These contribute in many ways to speeding recovery, healing, and improving well being during recovery.  Therapeutic massage compliments traditional medicine and chiropractic care.

• Deep Tissue Massage is the most effective form of massage for chronic tightness and stiffness.  Deep tissue massage is used to access deeper tissue structures.  It can release extremely tight musculature, knots, and trigger points.  Most people find that it improves their fluidity of movement.  It can assist people with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, injuries to muscle, ligaments and much more.  Some Acupressure is incorporated where helpful.

• Athletic/Sports Massage is for people who work out regularly, are regular sports participants, or are professional athletes.  Athletic massage facilitates training by reducing pain, by speeding recovery after workouts or injuries, and by maintaining optimum health of tissues.  Athletes can also benefit from pre and post event massage.

• Reiki II  (pronounced ray-kee) is an ancient Asian energetic therapy.  I have been attuned to channel divine love energy with all of it's healing properties into you.  It includes a laying of hands over sites of injury, illness, or  energy fluctuations.  It has been proven in scientific research to speed healing of injuries.  Reiki II promotes a deep sense of relaxation as it balances the energetic system.  People have come to me for Reiki to heal everything from chronic pain to cancer and also to make life improvements.  Reiki heals the mind, body, and spirit.  Reiki goes where it needs to most at the time.  My Reiki treatments usually include a Chakra balancing.  Reiki can be used to center yourself, energize, and intensify spiritual connectedness to all of life.  Many people report profound experiences of varying types during treatment.   Reiki compliments Relaxation massage and Therapeutic massage.
