Thai Yoga Massage Fusion

 

Also known as Nuad Bo Rarn' is a unique form of holistic body therapy that incorporates Hatha Yoga postures and acupressure to gently stretch the muscles and open the joints.  

Originating over 2,500 years ago,Thai Massage is one of the world's most ancient healing modalities. This form of body work is a safe, holistic  treatment that harmonizes the body, increases energy, relieves stress and promotes a peaceful mind.  it can also radically alter the perception of the self.  It is different from Western Massage methods.  Not only are my hands used to free tension from the body, but i also use elbows, forearms and feet for interactive manipulation.

 

Often referred to as the 'lazy man's yoga', the movements of gentle rocking, deep stretching and compression assist in the restructuring of the muscular-skeletal framework.  Yogic stretches are interspersed with pressure along the body's "Sen" energy lines to relax muscles and enhance the flow of internal energy. 

The massage is performed on a mat on the floor rather that on a raised table.  The work is usually done clothed and and uses minimal oil.  This allows for many movements and stretches and can go even deeper into the tissues. This method is extremely effective and highly therapeutic. Relieves low back pain, neck, hips and frees your entire body from any stiffness. your body feels open, alive, light, invigorated and peaceful. You do not need to be flexible to receive this style of massage. I will work with where you are at physically and we will slowly and gently assist you in more openess in your body.

Ayurvedic Yoga Massage

 

This is a unique form of yoga-based body-work developed in Pune, India. It is an extremely powerful and totally unique system of body therapy. It consists of assisted stretches to open and realign the entire body, combined with a unique system of synchronized breathing and stretching. It combines a deep tissue massage with gentle and safe assisted stretches. You can achieve more flexibility and range in the stretches when the body is completely relaxed and passive. Ayurvedic Yoga Massage has some similarities to Shiatsu and Thai Massage, but it is a separate system of therapeutic bodywork. Performed on a mat like Thai massage or Shiatsu. The recipient wears underwear (or pants can be provided) with a sheet to cover and warm the body. Pure sesame oil infused with medicinal Ayurvedic oils and Calamus powder is used to detoxify the body. This massage is suitable for anyone and all ages, even if you aren’t flexible. This massage is exceptionally helpful for those with chronic upper/low back pain and stiffness in hips. There is a good communication between you and i to make sure you are comfortable and safe. It will liberate you from pain and you will leave feeling rejuvenated, light, more mobile and out right bliss.

Aquatic Therapy (Watsu®/WaterDance®)

I invite you to come into a world that is timeless, weightless, boundless and spacious for your body to be just as it is. To be fully listened to and allow for your full expression of self. Combining principles of Watsu & WaterDance, you are guided through an intuitive journey through the water where you are massaged, stretched and danced. Allow the warm waters to wash away your tension and find profound relaxation in your beingness. Surrender into yourself.  

This Therapy is excellent for all ages, sizes and conditions. My clientel ranges from 6 - 90 years of age. I offer a support also to those with injuries, arthritis, spinal issues and even for those that just want complete and utter relaxation and nourishment. I also work with those who have had traumas in or associated with water and want to overcome those fears. It's completely unique to Vancouver, yet a worldwide therapy. I highly suggest trying it to see how the water can shift and rebalance your being. 

 

What is Watsu®?

Watsu® (WATer ShiatSU) is a form of aquatic therapy, which quiets the mind, relaxes the body and opens the heart. It is a uniquely nurturing combination of massage, yoga-like stretches and point work carried out in skin temperature (96 degrees) water. The weightless environment of the water allows for graceful, fluid dance-like movements which free the body and can assist the receiver in deeply relaxing. This passive form of bodywork can offer dramatic changes in the autonomic nervous system. Through quieting the sympathetic and enhancing the parasympathetic nervous systems, Watsu has profound effects on the neuromuscular system.  

What is a Watsu® session like?
Receiving a Watsu is akin to floating safely in a warm, womb-like world of nurturing, deep peace. If you can imagine this combined with graceful, fluid, ribbonlike movements, which can include massage, point work (shiatsu), stretches and a very powerful dose of relaxation, you are almost there. Imagine that your eyes are closed and your ears are submerged just below the surface creating a very quiet and soothing environment to simply and effortlessly surrender into.

This uniquely serene surrounding creates what many have referred to as "instant meditation". The water provides an almost weightless environment, freeing the spine and soothing tired aching muscles. The joints are freed through joyous, pleasurable articulations created by the currents of the body-temperature water swirling around the body and the expertise of the practitioner's guiding. Watsu can induce a sense of timelessness and spaciousness as one enters profound Alpha states providing the body with the deep rest required for it to rejuvenate and heal itself. Movement and stillness dance in harmony with the breath as the receiver is invited to completely let go. The water allows for gentle motion to carry the body, mind and spirit into a deep experience of relaxation, often times connecting receivers back to a place of harmony and balance within themselves.

What is WaterDance®? 
WaterDance takes Watsu slightly further where i will gently guide you into the underwater realm. The session usually begins with some surface exploration in the water and more Watsu like positions to allow you to feel relaxed, safe and trust with me. Then, if and when you are ready to go underwater there is a smooth melting into the depths of the water. working very intuitively i will be very in tune with your breath and when you'll need to come up. If you feel more comfortable we can use a tapping signal as to when you need to come up for air. Underwater we can explore a larger range of movements where you can be spiraled, undulated and free float to offer you the highest qulity of freedom in body and time. This modality can be extremely healing for absolutely anyone. Offering you the presence to be with you through your journey in discovering your beingness.
