Bodywork Therapies

The Transformation Package

Designed to renew your connection with yourself and your body, to ease your mind, comfort your body, and restore your spirit, this series of Bodywork & Complementary Care sessions will help move you from diagnosis through treatment to gain a better state of tranquil transformation regardless of your prognosis or state of remission.  Diagnosis can often bring about fear and anxiety increasing distress in our mind and body.  Each session endeavors to address these symptoms and side-effects  to decrease the anxiety, fatigue, nausea, and pain while simultaneously increasing and strengthening your sense of well being. 

So ask yourself...

Do you have a strong desire or financial need to continue your work while undergoing treatment?  

To maintain your level of activity, interests, hobbies?  

Is there an interest in increasing your level of exercise or to practice meditation/contemplation?   

Are you wanting to take a leap of action you avoided in the past?

These Bodywork sessions are comfort oriented, utilizing many learned techniques and modalities that are designed to reduce anxiety, pain and fatigue and nausea.  They are designed to reconnect you to the better side of yourself.  As the session progresses your stress hormones decrease enabling your minds' sense of ease and well-being to increase.  When this happens we feel a bit more more energized and, often, are able to accomplish just such cherished activities and desires.

The package includes:

9 ~ 60 minute Bodywork & Complementary Care Sessions  (one each week for 6 consecutive weeks, 3 sessions to be every other week if desired) 

5 ~ 30 Minute Follow-Up phone calls after sessions 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9. 

4 ~ Guided Restorative Meditation Sessions (2 in-person, 2 via phone)

Recommendations for Self-Care Best Practices ~ Movement/Stretching, Aromatherapy, Flower Remedies, Relaxation/Restoration, Mediation/Contemplation 

I invite you to welcome this investment in yourself.  You will be glad you did.

JIN SHIN Acupressure

Eastern-based bodywork aims to restore and balance the flow of energy (Chi) throughout your body. It uses gentle hand and finger pressure along specific points and energy pathways (meridians) on your body to trigger your body's natural and normal healing mechanisms. There are many forms of Eastern practices,  sharing  a common foundation in Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Practices of India.  

Geri's practice of Acupressure is based upon her trainings from The Acupressure Institute (Berkeley, CA), Mary Burmeister's JIN SHIN Jyutsu, and Marsaa Teagarden's, JIN SHIN DO.  A practitioner of the Art of Jin Shin Acupressure, Geri has developed a unique skill of LISTENING with HER HANDS.  

Walk away feeling fully restored of body and mind, and your spirit will smile!

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that facilitates the body's natural homeostasis.  As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health.  We practice Reiki with a gentle laying on of hands to the head, face, torso of the front and back body.  It is an especially restful, restorative and energizing session.  Clients have spoken of many benefits from each session that have included substabtial decreases with their anxiety levels, fatigue, depression and, sometimes, even, pain.
