A Path From Here to Wholeness

Transformational Body and Soulwork Session: 1- 1 ½ hour

This treatment is the ultimate blend of bodywork specialties including any or all of the techniques listed below. Alise will meet with you briefly to discuss your goals and desires for the bodywork session and relevant physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your life’s journey. Goals could simply be the wish for deep relaxation, to reduce physical pain and tension, explore areas of held emotions in the body encouraging release, or spiritual exploration. Alise tailors the session specifically for you and uses both skill and intuition to support you in experiencing peace and healing. The nature and depth of the session depends fully on the comfort level and readiness of the receiver.

Sacred Hot Stone Massage: 1 hour 15 minutes

Alise takes you on a journey of deep relaxation and muscle relief with a combination of cool gemstones for the face, crystals for a balancing effect, and smooth stones heated to perfection to massage and penetrate sore muscles. This massage is the perfect balance of deep muscle healing and rest and rejuvenation leaving you feeling both light and relieved of stress and peacefully grounded.

Relaxation Swedish Massage

This massage is for those who want to keep it simple. Long flowing strokes, mixed with luxurious muscle kneading will melt away your stress. This work is gentle and very peace- inducing.

Deep Muscle Massage

This massage combines the long relaxing strokes of Swedish with deep detailed muscle work for areas that are more resistant and hold more stress. While for some, the deep work may not be as relaxing, it is very effective in reducing pain and restoring body alignment. Those who would prefer strong pressure to the subtleties of energy healing may enjoy this work.

Aromatherapy Massage

Learn why aromatherapy is so much more than just good smells! During this session Alise will consult with you to make a custom blend using therapeutic essential oils that will target your specific areas of physical, emotional, and spiritual need. The blend will then be used during a full body massage to allow the oils to rejuvenate every cell in your body. Essential oils are the potent, medicinal oils of the leaves, flowers, barks, or root of the chosen plant. All of these oils are naturally antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic and most have many more healing properties building the bodies defenses and aiding in healing and detoxifying – all while smelling sensual and marvelous!

Reiki

Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing that was rediscovered in Japan, by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 1900’s. Although Reiki is a prayerful and sacred art form, it has no religious restrictions and is practiced throughout the world by and on people from all walks of life, cultures, religions, ages, etc. Rei (universal) Ki (life-force-energy) can provide profound relaxation, peace, pain and stress relieve, joy, and healing on many levels. Reiki is also completely safe to use with any traditional medical treatment or condition and is widely used in hospitals throughout the world. During a session, the practitioner assists your own natural healing process by passively focusing life-force-energy in and around your body, letting the healing take place where it needs to. During the session you will be clothed and lying down in a peaceful setting. Alise will work with hands both on and off of the body at various times. People report a range of responses from falling into a deep sleep, feeling warm peaceful tingles, to experiencing amazing relief from pain and other symptoms. Reiki often continues to work long after you leave the practitioner’s office.

Soul-Full Healing Session

This blend of healing energy therapies includes Reiki, soul-centric healing and various other forms of intuitive healing. During your session, Alise will meet with you briefly to get a sense of what you wish to receive from your session. As with Reiki, you will be clothed and lying down in a relaxing setting, however rather than passively sending healing energy, the Alise may actively work with energy using both skilled techniques and intuitive guidance to help the body to heal and remove stagnant energies and patterns that no longer serve your overall health and wellbeing. This session is very individualized and may include guided meditation, dialogue, intuitive messages that Alise receives and some gentle physical manipulation and stretching- all depending on your comfort level.

Positional Release Therapy

People often think of this bodywork as a form of assisted yoga. Through gentle stretching, unwinding, holding, and manipulation of soft tissue the therapist helps the client to achieve transformations in flexibility, body alignment, and overall energy. This is especially helpful for those who have challenges in the low back and hip area.

Lymphatic Drainage

This is not a muscle massage but rather a very specific and gentle technique that assists the health and movement of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is key to the body’s ability to release toxins, build immunity, fight disease, and relieve bloating and water weight. This is a wonderful technique for those who want to work to lose weight and cellulite, those recovering from illness, and anyone who wants to stay their healthiest!

Prenatal (Pregnancy Massage)

Every Mama-to-be deserves a massage. Studies show that prenatal massage benefits both the mother and the unborn child. Benefits include, increased circulation in mother and baby, reduced muscle and joint pain, and improved mood and stress relief. This is a wonderful way to help support the body during the changes of pregnancy and is a wonderful gift to give a new Mother-to-be! Alise is also massage doula (birth assistant) intern and supports Mothers in pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the weeks following birth.
