Scalp Massage & Style 45 Minutes
Relax the stress in your shoulders. Relieve the tension and strain in your neck. Clear your thoughts and ease your mind. Massage begins by loosening the tense
muscles of your shoulders, delicately stretching taught muscles in your neck and stimulating then soothing the scalp. These massage techniques stimulate the
nerves, muscles and glands in the scalp, increasing circulation of blood and nourishing scalp tissues. Scalp manipulations help to balance the sebaceous glands
creating lustrous, shiny and moisturized hair. It can also help renew dry scalp and reduce oily scalp conditions. It is believed, though not scientifically proven,
that the increased circulation of blood and stimulation of follicles promotes hair growth.
Ear Coning 30 to 45 Minutes
Ear Coning acts as a catalyst to clear out debris accumulated on nerve endings. This allows for clear vibrational flow to the corresponding
area of the mind, body and spirit. Coning clears the way for other methods of healing. Ear Coning is an extremely gentle method of cleansing
the outer ear canal. Client relaxes in a comfortable chair, slightly turning head to one side. Cone is lit then placed delicately in opening of ear
and slightly tilted so wax from candle and ear will drain outward, away from client. The candle is then allowed to burn down 1/4 way, removed,
cleaned and repeated twice more. The ear opening is swabbed with a drop of olive oil to prevent debris from re-entering. A feeling of calm
renewal is felt.
Reflexology 30 Minutes
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the feet.
How does reflexology work?
The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are "reflex" areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the
body. For example:
the tips of the toes reflect the head
the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot
low back and intestines are towards the heel
He believed that certain areas on the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body. This concept was furthered by physiotherapist Eunice
Ingham into the modern practice of reflexology.
Practitioners believe that applying pressure to these reflex areas can promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways.
Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, an ear, nose, and throat doctor, introduced this concept of "zone therapy" in 1915. American physiotherapist Eunice Ingram further
developed this zone theory in the 1930's into what is now knows as reflexology. A scientific explanation is that the pressure may send signals that balance the
nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce pain and stress.
What will I feel?
Most people find reflexology for the most part to be very relaxing. Reflexology shouldn't be painful. If you feel discomfort, be sure to tell the reflexologist. He or
she should work within your comfort zone. Some areas may be tender or sore, and the reflexologist may spend extra time on these points. The soreness
should decrease with pressure. If you're ticklish, not to worry. The reflexologist applies firm pressure to the feet.
Why do people get reflexology?
Stress and stress-related conditions
Tension headaches
Digestive disorders
Arthritis
Insomnia
Hormonal imbalances
Sports injuries
Menstrual disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Digestive problems, such as constipation
Back pain
Reflexology is a popular alternative therapy. It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages overall healing.
Reflexology is also used for post-operative or palliative care. A study in the American Cancer Society journal found that one-third of cancer patients used
reflexology as a complementary therapy.
Reflexology is recommended as a complementary therapy and should not replace medical treatment.
What is a typical reflexology treatment like
A typical treatment is 45 minutes to 60 minutes long and begins with a consultation about your health and lifestyle. You are then asked to remove your shoes
and socks and sit comfortably in a reclining chair or on a massage table. Otherwise you remain fully clothed. The reflexologist will assess the feet and then
stimulates various points to identify areas of tenderness or tension. The reflexologist then uses brisk movements to warm the feet up. Then pressure is applied
from the toes to the heel according to your comfort. Lotion or oil may be used.
How will I feel after?
Most people feel calm and relaxed after a treatment. They may even feel sleepy. Occasionally, people feel nauseous, anxious, or tearful, but this is only
temporary and is considered to be part of the healing process.
Precautions
If you're pregnant, talk with your doctor first and let the reflexologist know.
Be sure to give the reflexologist a complete and accurate health history.
If you have foot ulcers, injury, or blood vessel disease such as blood clots, consult your doctor before having reflexology.
