Approved Modalities
- Balinese MassageDeveloped in the Indonesian province of Bali, Balinese massage is influenced by traditional medicine systems of Southeast Asia, China and India. The technique incorporates acupressure, reflexology, skin rolling and flicking, percussion, firm and gentle rolling, stones, and the application of aroma oils. By combining aroma oils with manual techniques, the aim is to loosen fascial restrictions and stimaulate the lymphatic system, bloodflow, oxygen, and qi for the client.
- HypnotherapyHypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that utilizes hypnosis to access and influence the subconscious mind. It involves inducing a relaxed state, known as a trance, where the individual is open to positive suggestions and guided imagery. This altered state of consciousness allows the hypnotherapist to work with the client's deeper levels of awareness to address and transform limiting beliefs, behaviours, and emotional patterns. It is a collaborative process that aims to harness the power of the mind for personal growth and healing. For our purposes, it is important to differentiate Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy from Clinical Hypnotherapy. Clinical Hypnotherapists undergo extensive training and are skilled in Counselling/Psychotherapy, making them adept at handling more complex cases such as trauma/PTSD, fears and phobias, sexual dysfunction, and so on.
- ThetaHealing®ThetaHealing® is a holistic healing technique that utilizes the Theta brainwave state to identify and change limiting beliefs, patterns, and emotions. Developed by Vianna Stibal, it combines elements of spirituality, quantum physics, and energy healing. Practitioners access the Theta brainwave state through meditation, allowing them to connect with the subconscious mind and facilitate deep healing and transformation. By exploring and replacing negative beliefs with positive ones, ThetaHealing® aims to release blocks and create profound shifts in mindset and behavior. This modality is used to address physical, emotional, and spiritual issues, promoting self-awareness, empowerment, and personal growth. ThetaHealing® offers a gentle yet powerful approach to healing, harnessing the innate wisdom and potential within each individual.
- YogaA physical, mental and spiritual practice, Yoga is a Vedic tradition of India and the Himalayas dating more than 2,500 years. Classes are generally 1 - 1 ½ hrs in duration and incorporate physical postures and movement (asanas), breath exercises (pranayama), relaxation and concentration, philosophy, and meditation. Yoga benefits the physical and mental body by enhancing flexibility, improving muscle strength and tone, increasing body awareness, and promoting relaxation and calm.
- Lomi Lomi MassageLomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian whole-body massage, also known as ‘prayerful healing.’ Therapists use a combination of breathing and long sweeping strokes using their hands, forearms, elbows, fingers, knees and stones. Unlike other forms of massage, traditional Lomi Lomi sessions begin with preparation in the form of meditation, prayer and breathing exercises. The overall aim is to open energetic pathways and eliminate the source of physical and mental ailments. Lomi Lomi can also assist with lowering blood pressure and improving circulation, flexibility and immune response.
- Remedial MassageRemedial massage involves the assessment and personalized treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Therapists trained in this field locate the source of pain by examining these structures and posture. They then administer targeted massages to enhance blood circulation, improve joint mobility, and aid tissue repair. Remedial massage therapists usually have specific objectives, such as addressing knee, shoulder, or back injuries, which may necessitate multiple sessions. This type of massage can assist with various conditions, including neck, shoulder, and back pain, injury prevention, headaches, fatigue, arthritis, anxiety/depression, diabetes-related symptoms, and addiction recovery.
- Dry NeedlingDry needling involves inserting stainless steel filiform needles into trigger points to treat myofascial pain and dysfunction caused by overuse, injury, or poor movement patterns. It is based on western anatomical and neuro-physiological principles and differs from acupuncture, which follows Traditional Chinese Medicine. Practitioners, often physical, sports injury, or massage therapists, may recommend exercises and physical therapy techniques alongside needling to prevent trigger point reoccurrence. Sessions may last 10 - 30 minutes, and various techniques can be used. Dry needling is effective for musculoskeletal conditions such as shoulder pain, low back pain, headaches, and more. Due to the skin penetration, infection control policies and legal guidelines must be strictly adhered to.
- Facial Rejuvenation Massage
- AcupunctureAcupuncture, a 3,000-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy, aims to restore balance to the mind, body, and spirit by addressing the root cause of disease. Tiny steel needles inserted into specific acupoints stimulate the body's central nervous system, releasing chemicals into muscles, the spinal cord, and brain, promoting Qi flow, clearing energetic blockages, and inducing self-healing. Moxibustion, herbs, or dietary supplements may complement treatment. Acupuncture benefits various conditions like arthritis, headaches, sleep disorders, blood pressure, sports injuries, infertility, digestive issues, anxiety, menopause, and pain. Regulation of Acupuncturists varies by region, and practitioners must hold appropriate qualifications and licensure.
