Reflexology

Reflexology is based on the premise that every part of the body, inside and out, has a spot on the feet, hands and ears. With specific thumb & finger pressure technique the goal of reflexology is to trigger the return to homeostasis (a state of equilibrium/balance). By using precise reflex points to reach organs and glands, muscles, bones etc., thousands of nerve endings are stimulated. This stimulation encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways, benefiting circulation. Physiological changes take place as the body's own healing potential is stimulated.

Stress is difficult to avoid, and affects people in different ways. Reflexology helps to alleviate the effects of stress by inducing deep relaxation; allowing the nervous system to function normally, and freeing the body to seek it's own balance.

Sarah Preusker is our Board Certified Reflexologist and offers 30, 60 and 90 minute sessions. To learn more about Sarah click here.

Acupuncture and Women's Health Issues

Many hormonal problems are due to slight imbalances in the delicate endocrine system, which may alter a pathway by which the body produces or utilizes hormones. Even a slight aberration can throw the entire system off so it no longer functions smoothly.

Modern diagnostic techniques may not detect any laboratory abnormality or functional causes at all. Research has shown that acupuncture influences these hormonal pathways and assists our own internal energies to restore endocrine harmony. Certain meridians, for example, influence the internal reproductive organs, others effect the kidneys & adrenal glands and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis; all of which need to be in balance for optimum functioning of the body, mind, and spirit.

This sophisticated yet subtle method of treatment is so effective because of its focus on each individual's particular needs. Your treatment will be tailored to address your specific imbalances, and will revitalize you in a relaxed atmosphere.
