Treatments

Designed to remove severe tension, Carrie's integrative deep tissue massage is a blend of techniques, such as myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point, and CS unwinding, that allow relief of muscles and connective tissue along with grounding and relaxing you in your body. It helps to improve range of motion and heal injuries below the surface. 60 minute session is best for focused areas, while longer treatments allow for integration of the whole body.

Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Carrie’s style of relaxation massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote nervous system unwinding, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.

Craniosacral therapy uses gentle touch manipulation of your head, neck, and the bottom of your spine and works by helping the body’s natural healing mechanisms dissipate old or current stress on the central nervous system. This includes the subtle movement and restrictions in bone, connective tissue and membranes of the body. It is an excellent therapy for prior traumas, such as falls, auto accidents, surgeries and beyond. See Remote CranioSacral for remote sessions.

This technique is a cousin of rolfing/structural integration, which manages tension and stress in the connective tissue system, while helping correct postural misalignments. Myofascial Release uses specific techniques to stretch and repair the connective tissue between your muscles and throughout the webbing of your body (fascia). It helps your body heal compensations from prior injuries and can restore range of motion. Slow and fairly dry work is best for creating an effective session. Carrie is certified in this technique.

Designed to be part of a series of at least 3 sessions in quick succession: relieves head, neck and jaw pain due to stress/tension, car accidents or structural misalignment. Treatment is gentle, specific and effective. We start superficial and release areas from the outside in. Intra-oral work is a recommended option within client comfort level by the end of 1st treatment.

MLD is a specialized modality of gentle techniques designed to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid. Hands-on techniques work at the level of lymph capillaries and lymph nodes in the direction of optimal drainage. MLD supports positive immune response, detoxification, reduction of swelling/edema, and promotes relaxation. Great for post-injury and post-surgery, autoimmune conditions and headaches, MLD can be used safely when massage would be contraindicated. Carrie is certified to treat Stage 0 and Stage 1 Lymphedema.

Similar to CranioSacral, described above, Remote CranioSacral gives client and practitioner the option to work without the limits of space. Sessions are designed to be shorter (2-3 30 minute sessions) and spaced over a period of 1-2 weeks. It is recommended we are connected by phone during these sessions to allow for dialogue, however it is possible to receive these sessions passively once rapport is built. We’re not sure why these remote sessions work, but they do! Quantum physics?....

Beautiful yet powerful sound healing modality that uses tuning fork frequencies to promote harmony in the body through acupuncture points & beyond.

A wonderful adjunct or add on to energy work or massage that helps change happen more smoothly and completely while nourishing and supporting.

Great for immune system support, detoxification and overall health, add this on to your scheduled session or schedule as a stand-alone treatment. A series of 9 oils are applied, 4-5 raindrops at a time, followed by a heated, moist towel to facilitate absorption of the oils’ healing properties. Additional $10 for feet application.
