Hot Stone Therapy

Based on Native American healing techniques in which smooth, oiled, basalt stones that hold heat are warmed to a temperature of 125 degrees F., then are rubbed over and into the deeper layer of muscles as the most superficial muscles begin to relax. These warmed stones become an extension of the therapist’s hand with the combination of heat and pressure bringing relief to tight and painful muscles by alleviating chronic and acute pain. The deep penetrating heat from the stones creates a dynamic sense of relaxation, centering, grounding, and balance for the individual. The human elements of the Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual realms connect to create a very powerful systemic effect of peace and tranquility from within. It also enhances your circulatory system, improving the function of your lymphatic and immune systems, and enhancing your body’s self-healing mechanisms. You’ll find that this style of bodywork will take you into deep states of relaxation, releasing stress and anxiety, detoxifying the body, and balancing your nervous system.

Ear Candling

Price: $35

Ear candling is a good example of how a simple, natural therapy, may be used to effectively solve many ear problems. This ancient therapeutic art may have been developed with the domestication of the honeybee. Beeswax was — and still is — a key component to making the hollow cylinders used in the procedure. The principal cloth used by ancient Egyptians was linen made from flax (the fibers of an annual blue-flowered plant).A special conical candle is inserted into a protective plate… The candle is lit and slowly begins to burn. The small tapered end of the candle is gently placed into your ear canal. The ear candle — by its shape, design and length — draws ear wax and fungus deposits from deep inside your ear canal.As the ear candling session progresses, extracted ear wax and fungus will be burned off, but a majority will be collected in the bottom part of the candle. After the candle has burned down and been extinguished, the therapist may cut open the remnant and show you any remaining unburnt contents of your ear canal. Please allow up to 45 minutes.

Scalp Massage

Price: $10 for 15min.

A scalp massage is a head massage designed to relax the mind and encourage circulation.
