Chakra Integration

Introduction: Massage is the most transformational and one of the oldest healing arts. Chakra Integration offers complete therapeutic massages, incorporating sports massage, deep tissue massage and relaxing massage into one service. I offer the following: * Chakra Integrative massage is my signature, all-around massage. It is a unique combination of massage techniques (chakra balancing, Swedish, deep tissue, and therapeutic aromatherapy), entirely customized to the client's needs. This is a perfect choice for those who are not sure what their needs are but would like to create a wonderful sense of well-being. Charges are $125 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. * Swedish massage is your classic soothing massage. By using long, gliding strokes to increase circulation and induce relaxation, this massage helps to decrease muscle toxins and improve flexibility, while easing tension. Charges are $125 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. * Deep tissue massage is a massage type directed at the deeper tissue fabric of the fascia and muscle, also referred to as connective tissue. This massage utilizes a lot of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, although the pressure will usually be more intense. It is also a more concentrated kind of massage as I endeavor to loosen chronic muscle tension or knots. Charges are $125 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. * Neuromuscular therapy is the utilization of static pressure on particular myofascial points to alleviate pain. This method manipulates the soft tissue of the body (connective tissue, tendons, and muscles) to harmonize the central nervous system. This will result in a significant decrease of pain in the affected area. Charges are $125 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. * Sports massage is geared toward athletes of all kinds, from weekend warriors to world-class professionals. The massage concentrates on a particular group of muscles related with the athlete's sport. The massage promotes flexibility, removes fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries, and gets them ready to compete at their total best. Charges are $125 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. * Hot stone massage uses sleek, heated basalt stones immersed in oil. The therapist utilizes the heated stones in place of their hands, allowing the heat and smooth weight of the rocks to luxuriously and easily melt tension in muscle tissue like butter. It is a deeply soothing and relaxing form of massage. Charges are $125 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. * Prenatal massage is a relaxing massage aimed towards assisting women with some of the discomforts, aches and pains during pregnancy. Positioning is all in prenatal massage, so we have various bolstering options, depending upon individual comfort and how far along the pregnancy is. Early term may be supported by simple pillow placement, but as gestation advances, we have a particular support cushion for late-term women that allows a mother-to-be to relax on her stomach comfortably — taking every pressure off the back, without any pressure on the baby. Charges are $90 for 60 minutes and $150 for 90 minutes. Prenatal massage can help for the following: * ease backaches, headaches, and shoulder and neck aches that may be generated by shifts in posture to accommodate increasing weight and muscle tension * increase circulation * decrease pain in the pelvic/hip area * improve digestion * reduce fatigue * help minimize swelling in places such as hands and lower legs * improve skin elasticity that can help reduce stretch marks * alleviate the stress on weight-bearing joints, such as the knees, which are affected by the extra weight of a growing baby * help equalize hormone levels by lessening anxiety * promote deep breathing and relaxation This massage is best done in 90-minute sessions.
