Auriculotherapy / Ear Acupressure

Ear Acupressure known as "Auriculotherapy" 

Auriculotherapy has a long history of effective use for various conditions/ symptoms and is beginning to receive even more recognition as more people lean towards & explore non-invasive methods towards balance and well-being.  Ear Acupressure is the stimulation of specific points on the ear that stimulate or activate a therapeutic effect elsewhere in the body.  With discussion of what the client would like to address, Ear Seeds or Pellets are placed on specific points located on the ear for consistent stimulation of those specific pressure points.  Noninvasive Ear seed/pellets with clear adhesive (no latex) are used and stay in place for days, furthering the therapeutic effect beyond the initial session.  Therapeutic effect varies per condition and the client.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage known for that "feel good pain" aims to relieve tension in those deeper, more stubborn, layers of muscular tissues within the body, which may challenge the client's threshold of discomfort or pain tolorrance.  This is not a typical relaxing massage, rather one that may & should challenege that threshold when working on those stubborn deeper layers.

Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries.

Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
