Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and also increase range of motion. If you are elderly, geriatric massage can help you maintain and improve your overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced due to aging. In addition, since the elderly don't typically receive enough physical touch, this massage can also help alleviate symptoms of loneliness or depression.
Massage Cupping is an anceint form of improving circulation. It has re emerged when some of the stars / athletes (US Olympic swimmers) would be interviewed after revealing 4 inch red circles on their skin. With massage cupping, there are no visible marks remaining -- since we use oil and move the cup along the muscles. I was originally taught to use fire and glass but have now gone for the alternative use of plastic cups & suction device --- so not to set client's house on fire with opened flame needed :-) The results are the same.
Ear Candling has been used for centuries. Many of my clients tell of their relatives from other countries that still use it frequently.
The foot long, hallow, candle is made of beeswax and cloth (some have essential oils). It is placed into the ear and the end is lite. It slowly burns down. The ash is cut as it burns. It is relaxing and sounds like you are sitting next to a crackling fire place. It is taken out, dowsed in a pan of water and cut opened --- most like to see what comes out of their ears (which is usually wax to all degrees).
Some have reported it allows them to hear better. It is not painful like having it done in doctors office.
The cost of massage therapy, in your home is priced per hour. I do not charge for travel and leave that strictly up to the client if they wish to add a gratuity :-)
Established clients can do half hours.
