Acupuncture - There are numerous styles of acupuncture just like there are numerous styles of martial arts, how to bake a cake, etc. With all styles, the one thing that remains constant is the effect - which in it's most simplistic form is to increase circulation. Say you have an injury, stress, or disease - acupuncture can increase the circulation bringing with it the proper "natural" healing neuropeptides such as endorphins and enkelphins, serotonin, and many other reactions (a neurochemical release). The needles and points used are important to direct where the brain should increase that circulation.
Why do we use needles? Our body has energy. MRIs use it, so do EKGs. Our hearts conduct electrical impulses. We have ionic, positive and negative reactions happening in our bodies constantly. The metal needles conduct and redirect the ionic reaction. The specific points used help us direct it to the specific area.

Healing Touch - Healing Touch is a biofield therapy that is an energy-based approach to health and healing. It uses touch to influence the human energy system, specifically the energy field that surrounds the body, and the energy centers that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. These non-invasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human environmental energy fields thus affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing. It is based on a heart-centered caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together energetically to facilitate the client’s health and healing. The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balances in the energy system placing the client in a position of self heal. Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing.

Ion Detox Foot Bath - Ion foot detox therapy program focuses on the feet to recharge the body and increase well being, overall health, and balance. Through a short 30 minute session of warm mineral sea salt water, the Ion unit causes ionization of the water and allows detoxification through the feet, which are a natural place to detox because they have over 200 large pores. It helps flush out the toxins in the lymphatic system and energizes the blood. It has also been said, among many other things to relieve arthritis, help cancer patients increase energy, alleviate neck and back pain, and generally return the body to a more well-balanced state. Please drink lots of water before and after treatment. Results may vary.

Massage (Full Body) - Massage sessions are tailored to where you are feeling the most discomfort and pain by utilizing Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy (trigger point) and Joint Range of Motion. Other areas that are possibly contributing to client complaints will also be addressed. One massage session will for the most part alleviate most of the pain that's present. However, research has shown that people who receive on-going bodywork as part of a healthy maintenance program are less stressed, more energized and overall, a more healthy human being.

Reiki - An ancient Japanese technique of the "laying-on" of hands healing technique that uses life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within the body. A Reiki practitioner serves as a vessel that supplies healing energies where they are most needed-using little to no touch. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words — Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power," and Ki which is "life force energy." So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy,"
