Additional Services
Life-Stress Consultation is a one on one
exploration of the causes of stress in your life along with
suggestions to alleviate these stressors. Physical, social,
emotional, and spiritual stressors are evaluated along with the
quality and quantity of physical, social, emotional, and spiritual
supports in your life. Everyone is welcome to take
our stress survey and discuss his or her
results during their massage appointment.
Guided Imagery is an interactive session where your
relaxation counselor verbally coaches you to focus on a thought or
image in your mind, which will ultimately lead you to become more
relaxed. After a person takes our stress survey, items that are
ranked as “highly stressful” to you are used as the focus of the
guided imagery session. If you would like to view these items in a
different light, you will be coached to visualize these “highly
stressful” items and then visualize other “positive” images that
counter your stress reaction. If you would just like to focus on
relaxation, you will be coached to visualize your ultimate peaceful
picture in your mind. When used in conjunction with massage, guided
imagery can prove very relaxing of both mind and body.
Guided Meditation is where your relaxation
counselor verbally coaches you into a deep state of mind and body
relaxation.
Aromatherapy is the use of various plant oils and
fragrances to aid in healing the body, mind, and/or spirit.
Aromatherapy is not intended to treat medical or psychological
conditions nor is it intended as a replacement for medical or
psychological treatment. However, certain oils and fragrances are
thought to have various influences on either stimulating or relaxing
the body. There are age-old beliefs of the psychic impact of oils
and fragrances. Your relaxation counselor will usually use sweet
almond oil scented with lavender to apply to your skin for your
massage. However, we have a variety of oils that can be used based
on your preference. If you are allergic to any fragrance or nuts or
oils, please inform us prior to your appointment.
