Massage

If you are looking for a different approach to bodywork in the Brainerd Lakes area you have come to the right place! I have been crafting my touch and experience for years and have worked in both sports and chiropractic settings. Bodywork has greatly increased my quality of life and I am honored to share this gift with you and those around me.
The benefits of bodywork are endless . . .

Here’s a few:

Relief from pain including pain related to osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, carpel tunnel, injuries, car accidents, strokes, surgeries, and sports related muscle pain.
Reduced feelings of stress, irritibility, depression, anxiety, and low self esteem.
Effectively therapeutic for ADHD in children, age-related disorders, alcohol withdrawal, depression, cancer related fatigue, high blood pressure, sleep disorders.
Improving circulation by pumping more oxygen and nutrients to tissues and vital organs.
Stimulating the lymph system, the body’s natural defense against toxic invaders.

Rebalancing
Rebalancing is a bodywork style I recently learned in the Costa Rican jungle! Rebalancing integrates rocking, joint release, and connective tissue work to “reset” and bring awareness to the body. This bodywork style emphasizes the relationship between emotions and your body. If beneficial, I will incorporate inner body dialogue, Gestalt, or check-ins giving space to the emotional voice of your body. Rebalancing works best as a series of 10 2 hr sessions scheduled every 7-14 days. This series will unwind your body from the bottom up emotionally and physically. Each session is specifically designed to release a different section of the body. For example, the first two sessions are all on our legs and they pertain to grounding. Come try a customized 90 minute session and I’ll show you what I learned!

Swedish/Relaxation Massage
My Swedish massage is an exceptionally relaxing and unique therapeutic blend of acupressure, shiatsu, lymphatic work, gentle stretching and long kneading strokes. Swedish Massage effectively manipulates the soft tissues of the body to restore function, release tension and relax the body and mind. This massage is a safe bet for children and those who have an aversion to deep work.

Structural Massage
This massage is not your typical deep tissue massage. First, I release/”open up” the front of the body to take pressure of the back. Second, I pinpoint specific deep muscles to straighten your posture. The goal of structural massage therapy is to relieve pressure on the spine. This deep tissue technique integrates effective connective tissue work and can include thorough stretching of deep, supporting muscles. Best for those who need and can appreciate long-term results, have chronic pains and imbalances, or are recovering from car accidents.

BioMat
The BioMat delivers infrared heat and negative ions to the body via a layer of superconducting Amythest crystals! That’s right everyone, you are laying on a bed of purple crystals for every bodywork session at Core Healing! Far infrared rays are part of the electro-magnetic light spectrum closest to the light frequency of natural sunlight but without harmful UV/UVB radiation. Negative ions are integral to healthy cellular function. The BioMat stimulates ion channels by producing negative ions that deliver energy to the cells of the body. The topmost layer of the BioMat is constructed of superconducting channels of pure amethyst, which allow the far infrared rays and negative ions to penetrate the body as far as seven inches. Amethyst crystals offer the most consistent and powerful delivery of far infrared light waves, and ionic effects to the human body. The BioMat can offer increased relaxation of muscles and circulation along with temporary relief of: minor muscle and joint pain/stiffness, joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, sprains, and strains.

Essential Oil Raindrop Technique™
I enjoy this therapy myself when balancing and/or detoxification is needed. The essential oils effectively penetrate your body’s energy systems, pull out some toxins, and realign your being. Raindrop Technique is based on the theory that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which in turn, contorts and disfigures the spinal column. Raindrop Therapy integrates massage using the power of essential oils to bring the body back into structural and electrical alignment and simultaneously reduce inflammation and kill viral agents (from the Essential Oil Desk Reference).

Chair Massage
Allow me to take care of your employees so they take care of you!! On location chair massages are a great way to help you and your colleagues or employees relax and recharge. Chair massages are a quick way to reduce stress and muscle tension in the middle of a long day or work week. Chair massages enhance creative thinking, decreases blood pressure, and raise your level of awareness. Many businesses utilize this tool to increase employee productivity, help promote a positive work environment, and increase the health of their employees. On-site chair massage is great for special occasions too, such as, spa/bachelorette parties, bridal showers, wellness events, and employee appreciation days.
