Benefits of Massage

Muscular System - Relieves muscle tension and relaxes muscle spasms; increases the supply of blood and nutrients to muscles; helps to eliminate waste matter from muscles (especially lactic acid); helps to restore tone to flaccid muscles and partially compensates for lack of exercise and inactivity because of illness or injury; eliminates or prevents muscle adhesions resulting from injury; and increases flexibility and strength of joints.

Circulatory System - Circulatory System – Improves blood circulation & relieves congestion; increases supply of oxygen & nutrients to cells throughout the body; eases the strain on the heart by helping to return blood to this vital organ, especially in cases of forced inactivity due to illness or injury; and pushes the movement of lymph through the body, thereby strengthening the immune system & eliminating toxic wastes.

Nervous System - Can either sedate or stimulate the nervous system, and depending on the technique used; by balancing the nervous system, affects all the systems of the body.

Respiratory System – Improves breathing patterns; aids in relief of many long-term respiratory difficulties such as asthma & bronchitis.

Digestive System – Improves the function of the liver; relieves spastic colon; and acts as a mechanical cleanser, pushing out waste products, particularly in those who suffer from constipation.

Urinary System – Massaging the kidneys can cleanse the blood & tonify the entire system; and in problems of swelling in the body, massage can help affect the elimination of fluids.

Skeletal System – Maintains posture & body balance; reduces muscular tension that eventually causes structural problems; increases the flow of nutrients to the bones; and promotes elimination of waste matter.

Healing Modalities

Aromatherapy Massage $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour, $90 – 1-1/2 hour Sessions - Aromatherapy has been used for eons to facilitate healing at several levels.  It combines the actual medicinal properties known to exist in various plants with traditional massage techniques.  Aromatherapy theory is based on the essential oils being absorbed through the pores of the skin during the massage, and by the inhalation of molecules of the essential oils through the nose.  The molecules within the oils are said to enter the nervous system through the bloodstream, influencing body, mind and spirit well-being.  The massage offered – unless otherwise requested – will be a basic Swedish Massage incorporating the use of specific scents to help facilitate a particular healing process. 
 

Examples – facing emotional trauma, experiencing life changes, questioning soul purpose, seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preventing or recovering from dis-ease, preparing for or recovering from surgery, releasing old patterns/habits, suffering from depression – particularly situational, experiencing joint stiffness or pain, relieving muscular aches and pains, fighting chronic fatigue, increasing and/or balancing life-force energy, needing to relax, relieving headache pain, lessening sinus pressure, keeping skin toned and supple.
 

Credentials – Aislinn is a Lifetime Member of the Herbal Healer Academy and a Certified Herbalist through PrairieWise Herbal School.  She is also a long-time student of Aromatherapy and its affects in enhancing the overall healing processes.

 

Color Therapy - $35 – ½ hour Session - According to current theories, the vibrations of color waves can directly affect the body at the cellular level, thereby impacting both the cells and the organs.  It involves inundating the individual with specific color(s) to help activate and direct the person’s own healing energy.  The impact of color on an individual’s mood is widely recognized; however, Color Therapists believe that different hues can affect one’s ability to fight off dis-ease, and improve the physical, emotional and spiritual health.  The individual’s own auric field and the information given during the intake process will give Aislinn clues to the client’s overall state of health and well-being.  She will analyze these clues and determine which colors will be most useful in assisting the individual to active the appropriate healing energies for their condition.  This modality can be used alone or in conjunction with hands-on therapies, including, but not limited to – Swedish Massage, Laying-on-of-Stones, Meditation Therapy, Reiki, Polarity Therapy and Medicine Wheel Therapy.

Herbal Consultation - $25 – Session - With over 80% of the world’s population relying on herbs for their healing and health maintenance, this is definitely an adjunct worth exploring.  Many laboratory-induced drugs are derived from plants, but herbal remedies differ from conventional medicine in that they are using parts of the whole plant rather than isolating a single active ingredient.  Over the past 200 years, plant species from around the world have become part of our Western Herbal culture as myriad conditions present themselves for treatment. 

Examples – seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preventing or recovering from dis-ease, preparing for or recovering from surgery, suffering from depression, experiencing joint stiffness or pain, relieving muscular aches and pains, fighting chronic fatigue, needing to relax, relieving headache pain, lessening sinus pressure, keeping skin toned and supple

Credentials – Being a Certified Herbalist, Aislinn can offer many suggestions to assist you in your healing effort.  She has been working with – and growing – herbs for more than 30 years.  Even though she has become adept with Herbal preparations and their usages, she still advocates personal responsibility in the use of herbs for individual healing processes, asking the individual to research each suggestion for certainty and applicability. 

Facial Massage - $35 – ½ hour Session - This type of massage is focused on working the face, neck and scalp areas.  It involves any or all of the following – cleansing, exfoliating, massage, clay mask, toner and moisturizer with skin-type specific aromatherapy products crafted just prior to your appointment.  A Facial Massage is primarily a toning and relaxing massage that helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging.  It improves blood flow and helps to relieve stress and anxiety.

Examples – seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, stimulating hair growth, needing to relax, relieving headache pain, lessening sinus, keeping skin toned and supple

Credentials – As a licensed Massage Therapist, Aislinn has been well-trained in these techniques to provide maximum benefits.

Geriatric Massage - $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour Sessions - Our elderly population responds quite well to this type therapeutic touch.  While most of the conditions they tend to “suffer” from aren’t within the realms of “cure”, they do react very well to being touched in “non-threatening” areas of the body, using “non-threatening” techniques. 

Examples – seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preventing or recovering from dis-ease, preparing for or recovering from surgery, suffering from depression – particularly situational, experiencing joint stiffness or pain, relieving muscular aches and pains, needing to relax, keeping skin toned and supple

Credentials – As a licensed Massage Therapist, Aislinn has been well-trained in these techniques to provide maximum benefits.  She used this gentle, comforting touch to assist her own Nana relax, stay calm and be comforted; helping to keep her aging skin supple and elastic with excellent results. 

Infant and Pregnancy Massage - $35 – ½ hour (Infants’ limit), $60 – 1 hour Sessions - Infants and pregnant women get much from the gentle, long strokes offered in this type of bodywork.  Infants can be massaged as early as three months old, and pregnant women at late as their eighth month.  Aislinn takes every precaution with both to ensure that no damage is done to the infant’s small growing bones and joints, as well as with the soon-to-be mother’s growing fetus.  Small amounts of scent can be added to these types of massage to assist with anxiety, tension and/or other conditions that may be present.  When performing infant massage, Aislinn spends time with the parent(s), showing various massage techniques appropriate to assist the growing baby.  Women who have entered their third trimester, or are considered “high risk” must have a doctor’s release before Aislinn can offer them any type of massage.

Examples – seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preparing for birth – both mother and fetus, suffering from depression, assisting growing joints and bones, relieving muscular aches and pains, needing to relax, keeping skin toned and supple

Credentials – As a licensed Massage Therapist, Aislinn is well-versed in these techniques to provide maximum benefits. 

Laying-on-of-Stones - $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour Sessions - The use of stones as either the primary focus, or as an addition to other types of bodywork, assists in the activation of internal healing mechanisms natural to each individual.  The individual’s needs are discussed; then various stones are selected and placed on and around the body with the intent of moving stagnant energies through the body, thereby facilitating the client’s healing.    Using this adjunct is an excellent alternative to sometimes painful trigger point work.
 

Examples – facing emotional trauma, experiencing life changes, questioning soul purpose, seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preventing or recovering from dis-ease, preparing for or recovering from surgery, releasing old patterns/habits, suffering from depression, experiencing joint stiffness or pain, relieving muscular aches and pains, enhancing affects of bodywork, fighting chronic fatigue, increasing and/or balancing life-force energy, clearing auric field, balancing and activating Chakras, needing to relax, relieving headache pain.

Meditation Therapy - $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour Sessions - As a mental discipline, meditation is included in the practice of many spiritual endeavors.  It is intended to induce a state of profound relaxation, inner harmony and increased awareness.  Various techniques can be used during the meditation; however, all involve focusing the mind on a particular subject and disregarding distractions.  Meditation has been shown to reverse the body’s “fight or flight” response to stress, and is practiced as a means of spiritual enlightenment in Eastern societies.  In the West, it is widely used in non-religious contexts to treat stress-related and other mental and emotional conditions. 
 

Examples – facing emotional trauma, experiencing life changes, questioning soul purpose, seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preparing for or recovering from surgery, releasing old patterns/ habits, suffering from depression – particularly situational, increasing and/or balancing life-force energy, clearing auric field, balancing and activating Chakras, needing to relax.

Polarity Therapy - $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour, $90 – 1½ hour Sessions - Polarity Therapy is a blend of Western therapies, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda that focuses on the well-being of the client as a result of an unobstructed flow of “life energy” in and around the body.  This energy corresponds in nature to qi – or chi – in Traditional Chinese Medicine and prana in Ayurveda, and is thought to move in currents around the body between positive and negative poles.  The goal is to rebalance or restore energy flow by means of light touch, nutritional advice, exercise and/or counseling.  By touching each of the pulse points on a person’s body, Aislinn can assist the individual with balancing these areas. 

Examples – focusing on life’s needs, facing emotional trauma, experiencing life changes, seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preparing for or recovering from surgery, releasing old patterns/habits, suffering from depression – particularly situational or seasonal, enhancing the effects of bodywork, fighting chronic fatigue, increasing and/or balancing life-force energy, balancing and activating Chakras, needing to relax, feeling “off your stride”

Reflexology Massage - $20 – 15 minutes, $35 – ½ hour Sessions- It is believed that all the nerves of the body are accessible through massaging the feet and hands.  By focusing pressure on these areas, the individual will be able to keep the entire body – both internally and externally – balanced, toned, flexible, relaxed and alert.  This modality is used most often when there isn’t time for a full-body massage, or some condition prevents other types of massage or bodywork.  According to Reflexologists, the feet and hands are a mirror of the body, and pressure placed on specific “reflex” points can be used to affect the corresponding areas of the body in order to stimulate natural healing powers and promote well-being.  All parts of the feet, calves, hands and forearms are massaged for greatest usefulness.
 

Examples – seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preparing for or recovering from surgery, preventing or recovering from dis-ease, suffering from depression – particularly situational or seasonal, fighting chronic fatigue, increasing and/or balancing life-force energy, balancing and activating Chakras, needing to relax, relieving headache pain, lessening sinus pressure, keeping the body’s organs toned.
 

Credentials – Aislinn was taught these techniques through her training as a Massage Therapist, and is well-versed in this modality to provide maximum benefits to each client.

Reiki Treatments - $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour Sessions - Reiki is an ancient form of Japanese spiritual healing which has its foundations in ancient Tibetan Buddhism, and was apparently forgotten until its rediscovery in the late 19th Century.  Practitioners draw on Reiki energy, channeling it through the hands to areas of need in themselves and their clients.  They tend to borrow terminology from physics, believing that this energy activates the body’s healing capabilities at the cellular level, causing the molecules to vibrate with higher intensity and thus dissolving energy blockages that lead to disharmony and dis-ease.  Reiki uses energy manipulation to aid in moving stagnant or blocked energy as a means of opening the flow of one’s own healing energies.  While it is a hands-on technique, the touch is feather light and is not required to facilitate change within the individual’s energy body. 

Examples – seeking energetic change – calming or boosting energy, preventing or recovering from dis-ease, preparing for or recovering from surgery, suffering from depression – particularly situational, experiencing joint stiffness or pain, relieving muscular aches and pains, fighting chronic fatigue, increasing and/or balancing life-force energy, balancing and activating Chakras, needing to relax, relieving headache pain, lessening sinus pressure

Credentials – Aislinn received her First Degree Reiki Attunement through The Usui System of Natural Healing in 1998, and intends to eventually elevate this status through future training. 

Swedish Massage - $35 – ½ hour, $60 – 1 hour, $90 – 1½ hour Sessions - This is the foundation for all other types of massage and bodywork.  Depending on the individual’s time factors, it is a full-body massage intended to relax, comfort and tone the body and underlying tissues.  This is a standard form of massage that can be built upon with other techniques and modalities as needed or desired by the client or their specific condition(s).  It has been used for thousands of years as a simple and effective method of attaining and maintaining good health, and its benefits have long been recognized in many cultures throughout the world.  Therapeutic massage can be used to promote general well-being and enhance self-esteem, while boosting the circulatory and immune systems to benefit blood pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion and skin tone.  It has been incorporated into many health systems; and different massage techniques have been developed and integrated into various complementary therapies. 

Examples – Massage, as mentioned above, is useful to assist with the overall health and well-being of every individual.

Credentials - Aislinn is a Nationally Certified and Licensed Massage Therapist and received her training through High Tech Institute.
