Massage Therapy
is performed with oil directly on the skin utilizing kneading
and sweeping strokes, and additionally borrows techniques
from a variety of complementary modalities. It is an appropriate
therapy for many conditions, reducing stress and muscle
tension, and has the ability to decrease pain and increase
range of motion & flexibility. It can be used for therapeutic
purposes to support recovery from injury or strain, and
can also be used as a relaxation method to relieve anxiety
or energetic overload.
Thai Yoga Massage
is practiced on a floor mat in comfortable clothing, and
involves passive stretching and gentle pressure along fascial
pathways and energy lines. It has similar benefits to Swedish
massage and feels like assisted yoga. Its primary aim is
to facilitate a sense of unity, wholeness and balance within
the body.
Both Phoenix Rising
and Integrative yoga therapy are available.
(1hr - $90 / 1.5hrs - $120 / outreach prices may vary, please

Phoenix Rising
Yoga Therapy encourages awareness of how the body
holds stories of day-to-day life experiences. It begins
with a centering process that allows the body to express
intention and then utilizes supported yoga postures, and
non-directive dialoguing in order to reveal connections
between the physical and emotional levels.
Integrative
Yoga Therapy is based on the core principles of
yoga teachings and can address the physical, energetic,
psycho-emotional, wisdom and spiritual levels of the body.
It is an organic session that is built upon the present
needs of the client. Focus is generally on developing an
individual program of yoga postures suitable for specific
intentions, which may include physical conditioning and
stress management.

developed by Daniel Leven) |

Somatic Expressive Therapy is a mind-body therapy
that integrates the expressive arts, body-centered dialogue,
mindfulness and somatic movement to foster healing and transformation.
It helps resolve stress through integrating both hemispheres
of the brain with the body’s cellular memory; synthesizing
right brain creativity through expressive art processes
with our left brain’s language and narrative quality.
