SIGNATURE BODYWORK SESSION
ACUPRESSURE-MASSAGE
Experience the flow and power of energy-based healing therapies, combining:
Jin Shin (Good Spirit) Acupressure
Tui-Na (Chinese medical massage)
Namikoshi Shiatsu, and
Qi Gong Massage
​
Awaken and support your vitality, calm your spirit, and improve energy and blood flow at key points and channels, with a solid foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and other Eastern healing systems.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep Tissue therapy addresses the underlying structures, such as myo-fascia and connective tissue, where most injury and patterns of pain and tension are lodged over time. The pressure is more penetrating and intense, allowing the circulation of blood, energy, and vital substances at the underlying structures.
Addressing the deep tissues offers long term support so your body-mind and heart-spirit can heal, release trauma, and access the innate healing intelligence within.
CRANIO-SACRAL THERAPY
Enjoy the subtle and powerful core balancing methods as taught by the Upledger Institute called Cranio (top of spine) - Sacral (base of spine) Therapy. CST helps you to heal your nervous system, assists neck and back pain, and supports all your vital functions and well-being.
Additionally, through master studies in Osteopathic methods of structural balancing, the relationships between larger structures, limbs, head and spine are balanced in a gentle manner. Blissful!
ESSENTIAL OILS
Expand the benefits you receive in each session through expert massage of your hands, feet, scalp, ears, abdomen, and spine. These areas each hold vital keys of connection to all other parts of your health and well-being.
Essential oils and components like peppermint, frankincense, arnica, wintergreen, sandalwood, bergamot, patchouli, and other healing essences create a stimulating, nourishing, and sensory experience as you release and rejuvenate.
ADDITIONAL HEALING SERVICES
+ HOT TOWEL TREATMENT
Take your bodywork experience to another level with the addition of hot towel therapy during your bodywork session.
Warmed towels are placed over you to bring a penetrating heat and comfort to key areas along your back, shoulders, limbs, hands and feet. Essential oils like lavender, wintergreen, frankincense, and sandalwood may be added to provide the ultimate sensory and healing experience.

+ HOT STONE TREATMENT
Enjoy the luxurious, grounding, and whole-body support of hot stone therapy added during your massage and bodywork session.
Jade and Basalt smooth stones are heated, then massaged with invigorating body oils and essences such as lavender, arnica, or frankincense, over your back, neck and shoulders, arms and legs, hands and feet. The sensation is delicious, soothing, and relaxing.
Hot Stone Therapy from Silver Cloud Wellness is a great way to reboot your energy and reclaim your vitality after a long commute, work out or work week, or for any healing restoration.
+ CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping is an ancient method to warm, invigorate, and purify the skin, muscles, channels, and internal organs through a natural vacuum which pulls out toxins and promotes healthy circulation. The Fire Cup method is the ancient standard way to use fire to create a negative pressure into a bamboo, and more modern, heat-resistant glass, cup or series of cups.
​
Cupping is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and as support method in medical massage to move stagnation in the tissues, blood and energy channels on and in the body, and is also a benefit to expel detrimental elements such as cold, wind, heat, and stasis that may be impairing healthy function and immunity.
+ MOXIBUSTION THERAPY
Moxibustion is an ancient method of burning of medicinal herbal sticks, mostly mugwort (artemesia vulgaris), which is a known remedy for women's health such as menstrual and pre-natal support due to it's potent affect to regulate blood flow and support energy. Moxa sticks, or loose moxa rolled into beads, are heated over the channels and acupressure points, along the spine and key areas of the body, and to warm the muscle and tendon channels that promote healing from injury.
​
Moxibustion is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and medical massage to warm, nourish, and invigorate the body, increasing blood and energy in the channels, and restoring vitality.
