This ancient treatment involves placing hot stones on pressure and chakra points and massaging with oiled hot stones. Aromatic oils are used to relax muscles and soft tissue relieving pain, increase cellular metabolism, and assist in detoxification.Lymphatic Massage
Lymphatic massage works on the major drainage system of the body and plays a key role in the surveillance/defence of the body and functions in immune response. It also assists in the maintenance of fluid balance.Ear Candling Treatment

Research has dispelled old beliefs and shows that comfort-oriented massage does not contribute to the spread of cancer rather that cancer is a result of changes to a cell's DNA and other processes in the body. Fortunately, that now allows for caring, comforting and support for cancer patients, people at the end of life and cancer survivors.Detox Massage
Every day we ingest toxins from the food we eat and the air we breath. Our body also creates internal toxins, for instance bi-products of the stress response, inflammation, etc. Toxicity is of much greater concern in this century than at any other time. We are also affected by environmental contamination such as lead and heavy metals. A detox massage will assist in the elimination of toxins through gentle techniques that stimulate blood, lymphatic and energetic flow.Cranio Sacral
