HOW WE HELP
Therapeutic Services
Reiki
The Japanese practice of Reiki, involves light touch, or the laying on of hands on or above the individual, utilizing the measurable electro-magnetic radiation given off by the human body, to create deep states of relaxation. In this state, clients can experience faster and more powerful healing through an increase of blood flow and energy within the body, aiding in bringing the body’s various systems into balance (enhancing the production of positive neuro-chemicals, improving digestion, reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, etc.), as well as facilitating mind/body integration and a deeper sense of calm and awareness, so that you will leave your sessions feeling more relaxed and better than ever before.
Massage
Massage therapy is a valuable complement to conventional counseling strategies, offering support to individuals navigating the complexities of trauma. By targeting the release of tension and encouraging relaxation, massage therapy has the potential to significantly impact the well-being of trauma survivors. Numerous studies have noted the impact of massage in diminishing cortisol levels while elevating serotonin and melatonin production, leading to improved mood and sleep quality. Some studies suggest massage can be instrumental in reducing physical pain, irritability, anxiety, depression and dissociation in patients diagnosed with PTSD. Regular massage sessions can also bolster a person’s progress and resilience in between counseling sessions. This integrative approach, blending talk therapy with the healing power of touch, underscores the holistic nature of trauma recovery, fostering a more comprehensive and effective path to healing.
