I have been a massage patient of Diane Williams for the last nine years. She is a fabulous therapist, very dedicated to her profession and continues to study and practice all modes of massage therapy. She has given me Swedish, Lymphatic, and Hot Stone Massages. All of these have really helped me recover from injuries and surgeries.

Massage

There are many types of bodywork. However, Swedish-Esalen massage is the basic relaxing modality, using long, flowing circular strokes on large muscle areas, i.e. the back and shoulders, reducing tension, pain, and stress and promoting total relaxation. Focus is given to the client's individual problem areas by integrating several different modalities practiced by the therapist, resulting in a 60-90 minute relaxing massage with "treatment".

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy is a subtle, gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate the negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. The therapist monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. The result is a central nervous system free of restrictions and a body that is able to return to its greatest level of performance.

Hot Stone Massage

hot stone massageHot Stone Massage is a 90-minute full body table massage using heated moist basalt stones. Basalt lava stones are the maximum for naturally retaining heat well. They are smooth black volcanic stones in various sizes and shapes that have been shaped over thousands of years by the ocean's movement. Hot stones were once warmed by fire by Native Americans to feel better. Hot stones are placed in water to a maximum of 120 degrees. This therapy causes muscles to soon relax with the heat, increasing circulation and detoxing the body. This technique uses oil to lubricate the body, creating a smooth glide with the stones and the heated oil is absorbed in the skin. Some stones are placed and left in specific points along the spine, in the hands and between the toes to improve the energy flow in the body. Some stones are placed under and on top of the client while draped with a sheet as the therapist massages exposed arms & legs with heated stones. The body “sandwiched” in heat releases deeper muscle tension and experiences “the ultimate” in relaxation.

Lymphatic Drainage Release

A modality used in any areas of joint pain where swelling has occurred (i.e., sprained ankle). This is also used as a facial massage for release of sinus congestion. It is a very “light touch” massage which enhances and improves the immune system, detoxes the body and very relaxing.

Neuromuscular/M.A.T.

Neuromuscular/M.A.T. is a deeper therapy treatment applied to localized areas of painful knotted and strained muscle tissue compromised with restricted range-of-motion.

Seated Chair Massage is a 15-30 minute Japanese accupressure treatment applied to the upper body while fully clothed and seated in a specially-designed chair. This technique enhances circulation, relieves stressful muscle tissue and gives the feeling of relaxation but with alertness and rejuvenation. This modality is a favorite at the workplace.

Raindrop Technique

Raindrop Therapy  is a form of massage that uses a sequence of highly anti microbial young living essential oils synergistically combined to simultaneously kill the responsible viral agents and reduce inflammation in the body. The principal oils used are oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, and peppermint. The oils are dispensed like little drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back and very lightly massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles. Although the entire process takes about 45 minutes  to complete, the oils will continue to work in the body for up to one week following the treatment with continued re-alignment taking place during this time.

A growing amount of scientific research shows that certain microorganisms lodge near the spinal cord and contribute to chronic back pain, infections and types of scoliosis. Raindrop (RT) is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine by utilizing the antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory action of several key essential oils. During the years that it has been practiced, it has helped alleviate symptoms for numerous cases of scoliosis, hypnosis, as well as contributed to reductions in back surgery for hundreds of people. By integrating massage with essential oils, the body is brought in to structural and electrical alignment.
