The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage TM

This time honored abdominal massage is a slow, deep, external (non-invasive) massage treatment for the abdomen, lower back and hips. This massage benefits both men and women and is known to be highly effective for fertility, prostate and digestive issues, hormonal imbalance and a wide variety of common female symptoms.

Maya Abdominal Massage addresses the position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs. It works to soften the musculature, adjust the uterus to its optimal position in the abdominal cavity (*for men, the abdominal work can be beneficial for prostate health), and release muscular armoring in the trunk, which can improve circulation of blood, lymphatic fluid, nerve impulses and qi in this vital area of the body. Visit Arvigo Massage for more information.

Sports Massage*

Charlotte's Sports Massage for athletes of all levels comes from a clinical perspective. One of the best forms of preventative care for anyone is achieving and maintaining proper alignment of the body. If the body is working together as a whole, injuries become a rarity. When injuries do occur, massage can help support the healing process and minimizes the impact on compensating structures.

Deep Tissue Massage

This type of massage penetrates into the deeper layers of muscle tissue than your average Swedish massage, while still maintaining the overall goal of relaxation. You can choose to customize this full body massage by specifying certain areas that you feel need a little extra attention.

Reiki

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality that involves light touch. It works to realign the energy centers in the body, or Chakras. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Reiki is a very calm, gentle and soothing approach to help the mind, body and spirit to work together in harmony.

Munay-Ki

The Munay-Ki are the nine rites of initiation to become a person of wisdom and power who has accepted stewardship for all creation. The nine rites are common to all shamanic traditions, even though they are expressed in different forms and styles in different cultures. They derive from the great initiations from the Hindus Valley that were brought to the Americas by the first medicine men and women who crossed the Baring Straits from Siberia during the glacial period some 30,000 years ago. Charlotte can gift these rites at the beginning or end of any bodywork, energy work or spiritual healing session. Come by the office on Monday evenings from 6:30-8pm to receive one of the rites on its own. The rites are given as gifts, but a donation or gift may be accepted.
