Clinical Treatments

Cupping: Cupping or cupping therapy uses either specialized plastic cups with pumps and valves or silicone cups to create an area of suction against the skin. This for of decompression therapy helps to manage pain, break up scar tissue, and improve blood circulation. *Please note: the vacuum effect of the cups on the skin can cause spotting/skin discoloration that resembles a bruise. Spotting is the accumulation of cellular waste and is temporary and painless.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): MLD is gentle, very light touch manual therapy that stimulates the movement  and drainage of lymph fluid. MLD helps the lymphatic system perform more efficiently and can be used effectively for the management of pain due to its analgesic effect. MLD is indicated for the management of certain conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, burns, and post-surgical swelling. MLD is not a permanent treatment for cellulite but may help to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. This treatment is NOT intended to manage lymphedema.

Oncology Massage: this is skilled touch for people living with cancer or who have a cancer history. Cancer can be complex and presents differently in different people. Massage will be tailored to treat the client’s presentation of the disease, not the disease itself. This massage is intended to safely manage pain, reduce fatigue, and other negative side effects of cancer treatment. 

Foot Reflexology: Reflexology is an ancient technology that has been mapped for today's world. It is a method to activate healing powers in the body by manipulating  various pressure sensors in the feet. By improving blood circulation, clearing lymph stagnation and balancing energy flow, the body is stimulated to heal and re-energize  itself.   Reflexology helps relieve pain, improve circulation, realign dysfunctional stress patterns and speed healing. When combined with energy field alignments, chakra balancing, and aromatherapy we have the ultimate relaxation experience.
