reflexology It is based on the principle that there are many key reflex points on the soles of the feet, palms of the hands, and on the head that correspond to every major organ or area of the body. A therapist will use fingers, thumbs, and palms to exert steady pressure on these points to affect the corresponding part of the body. Not only does reflexology improve circulation and reduce stress, it works with subtle energy flows to revitalize the body and activate its natural self-healing mechanisms.
reiki® Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a system of natural healing based on symbols (keys) that provide access to universal life force energy. Once attuned by a Reiki Master Teacher, this energy flows through his/her hands during a Reiki treatment to help balance energy and reduce the effects of stress. By the use of symbols, this energy can also be directed through time and space, allowing treatments to be given to a person not physically present. Reiki may also be directed to heal the past, or into the future. ~ Ann Thomas
