Scar Therapy
Scars can create adhesion and tethering, not only at the site of the scar, but at other places around your body. The muscle memory associated with a scar can also lock down an area causing discomfort and less flexibility. Our therapist uses the Marjorie Brook STRAIT™ Method, which is a hands on approach that releases tight scar tissue and helps the body’s natural mechanisms reboot, making the affected areas more flexible and light.
Manual Lymph Drainage
The lymphatic system plays a key role in removing toxins out of the body and replenishing the immune system so it can continue to heal.
Events like surgery, injury or cancer treatments can stop the system from functioning at its full capacity, resulting in abnormal amounts of swelling and tightness around the body, increased fatigue and susceptibility to illnesses.
MLD is a light hands-on therapy designed to assist the lymphatic system reboot into its natural rhythm, relieving swelling and returning the body to a natural state of equilibrium.
Reflexology
(Reflex Lymph Drainage) Targeting the lymphatic reflexes through the feet helps to reduce build-up of fluid, relieve swelling, increase mobility and improve overall well-being. It is a gentle rhythmic massage which simulates the lymph nodes to open and drain.
(Pregnancy Reflex) A great non-invasive way to help with preparation for natural births by balancing hormones while pregnant. Helpful for issues such as constipation, indigestion, water retention, sciatica, headaches. It is a gentle rhythmic massage which stimulates the lymph nodes to open and drain.
Myofascial Release
Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. Accidents, surgery, serious injury and repetitive strain can put the fascia out of alignment with the rest of the body.
Hands on manipulation and adjusting of fascia (light and deep) throughout the body works to relax, lengthen and realign your fascia. It helps relieve pain and motion restriction and is ideal for muscles that feel tight and won’t release, as well as give you back your full range of motion.

The ear is a microsystem of the entire body, with points shown to
correspond to everything from physical pain to emotional
imbalance.
The stimulation of specific points or a combination of points can
have a therapeutic effect or promote homeostasis in the body.
They are affixed to the surface of the ear with adhesive tape and apply constant pressure to the auricular points.
