Reflexology
Focuses on stimulating the body’s own healing mechanism by massaging points on the feet that affect related areas of the body. It relaxes the body and mind, reduces tension and anxiety, improves circulation of blood and lymph, and strengthens the immune system.
Reiki
An ancient healing modality from Japan which focuses energy to support people and pets. Reiki is particularly good for stress reduction and helps to facilitate natural healing on all levels. It is a noninvasive practice which channels universal energy to stimulate the body’s ability to calm, balance, and heal itself. It involves a practitioner placing hands on the body in various positions, but it can also be performed completely hands-off.
Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Treatments
Essential oils are chemical compounds found in some plants. These chemical constituents can have powerful and beneficial effects on the body, mind and emotions. At Body Balance we use high quality essential oils that are therapeutic grade and certified pure. We offer two different kinds of treatments that use light touch, massage combined with pure essential oils applied to the back, spine and bottoms of the feet. Wonderful for stress management, immunity boosting, hormone balancing and emotional wellness.
