Signature Services

A medicated herbal oil is selected according to which 'dosha' you are according to a brief diagnostic questionare prior to the service.  A dosha helps to determine which elemental energies most comprise your unique biological constitution.  A sacred ayurvedic massage protocol stimulates several energetic 'marma' points around the body for ample energy flow.  Similar to acupressure points and 'merideans', these points are situated on 'nadis' at complexes where energy can become stagnant and create imbalances.  The grand finale of this service is a warm oil stream that flows over your forehead, scalp and through your hair.  Bring an empty disposable water bottle to take home your shirodhara oil afterwards.  You can use this oil for your at home self-massages.

A firm swedish massage is helpful to relieve stress.  A medicinal herbal oil or aromatherapy will be used to soothe your senses.  I integrate different modalities depending on your needs.  Lymphatic drainage, acupressure, reflexology and craniosacral are some of my favorite therapeutic techniques.  I also incorporate manual therapy and reiki as needed.

Lymphatic drainage is a very light massage technique to move along stagnant lymph to the lymph nodes for processing.  Acupressure is the gentle stimulation of points on the body that allow your energy to flow more freely.  Reflexology focuses on points and energy zones on the bottoms of the feet that correspond to different organs and bodily structures.  Craniosacral gently realigns the bones of the cranium and spine for ample function.  Allowing your body to flow at peak function may also help you to live within the flow of life with greater ease, and less resistance to change.

Reiki is an elegant approach to healing which utilizes light energy transmissions through my hands to you.  It is relaxing and helps to promote inner harmony.  Cranio-sacral therapy re-balances the axial skeleton, making sure the bones of the skull and the spinal vertebrae are in alignment, and moving in a healthy rhythm.  These bones move in a cyclical rhythm similar to ocean tides when they are balanced.  Results may include a sense of overall clarity, rejuvination and inspiration.  Together these two modalities offer a gentle treatment session with beautiful results.
 

This approach encompasses a full system of healing.  Come in for an 'energy tune-up' with a simple RBD treatment, or go much deeper with a consultation from Dr. Tom.  Consultations require a mapping session to receive a full spectrum treatment plan which may include bloodwork diagnostics, functional medicine, dietary suggestions and IMT bodywork.  Protocols target patterns on  an individuals energy map to treat symptoms while seeking to find and unwind the root cause. 

My specialties include structural rehabilitation, PTSD recovery, auto-immune/immune insufficiencies, and working through repressed emotions (applied psychosynthesis).
