Lymphatic Massage
The techniques used in Lymphatic Drainage massage are based on the anatomical function of this system and therefore are specifically designed to be much more effective. MLD is an important component in what is considered the Gold Standard in LE care. It is essential whenever chronic swelling is present in any part of the body, and also to prevent acute swelling from becoming chronic.
The symptoms and conditions alleviated through MLD therapy include swelling, pain, pre-surgery prep, and post-surgery recovery, fatigue, stiffness, fibrosis, numbness, pins and needles sensations, allergies and sinus congestion, dry eyes, infection of eyes, nose, ears, and throat, breast swelling, insomnia, chronic pelvic congestion, poor digestion, bloating, and gas.
MLD additionally facilitates drainage of the brain lymphatics (glymphatics), improving brain health, cognitive function and mood related issues.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga exists in a few forms in the world of yoga. I am a teacher and practitioner of a kriya-based form of Kundalini yoga. "Kriya" means yoga set and these are comprised of combinations of core yogic elements including specific pranayama-breathing exercises, mudra-hand-positions, mantra, meditation, and yoga nidra-deep relaxation.
The purpose of all yoga as it was traditionally intended, is to raise the Kundalini - awareness of our soul's energy and purpose. Kundalini Yoga offers a purely powerful direct route beyond the dualistic nature of the mind to quiet the mind's polarities and cultivate neutral mind. This allows us to direct our lives from the wisdom of our heart and soul rather than from fear, worry, anger, grief, and pain.
Ayervedic Consult
There are little interventions that you can make in your life that will improve the quality of your life exponentially. For example, they improve your digestion, your nervous system to function effectively, to improve your mood in small increments that accumulate.
I embrace the 1% improvement model where if you can bring in say 10 small, 1% things that improve your life, before you know it your life is 10% better. You experience the benefit and result of that and it gives you further incentive to keep learning and improving self-care by making small contributions to your health.
I offer consultations to evaluate constitutional type and design lifestyle recommendations including optimal yoga and exercise regimens based on your body type.
Qi Gong
“Qi” refers to the “subtle breath” or “vital energy”, and “Gong” is described as a “skill cultivated through steady practice”. Qi Gong is a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent.
There are numerous qigong styles, schools, traditions, forms, and lineages. Some are focused on health, on spiritual development, martial arts, and so on and each has practical applications and different theories.
But, as with all Eastern forms of focused, meditative, movement, the first posture is hands in prayer pose, bowing the head below the heart in a getsure to surrender the ego and signify the heart over head in all matters.
Movement Intelligence™
Movement Intelligence™, a.k.a. Bones for Life™, as researched and developed by the late senior Feldenkrais Trainer Ruthy Alon, is an innovative bodily education program inspired by the work of somatic pioneer, Moshe Feldenkrais.
It is appropriate for those who like the gentle attitude, but also for those who desire a faster, more dynamic approach to body/mind learning. Decades of research has given credence to the importance of optimally aligned weight-bearing and proportional flexibility that may be achieved through-out the skeletal system with regular practice of these lessons.
The precise ‘exercises’ you will learn through a specific series of rhythmic and springy pulsations, encourage your bones to produce new bone tissue through their stimulation and nourishment.
