Our therapists will soothe sore, aching muscles using an ancient technique that combines classic massage strokes with warmed river-smoothed stones. Heated in sanitized water, these varying sizes and weights of rocks become massage tools as they are pressed firmly over the length of problem areas. Hot stone massage calms muscle spasms and significantly reduces muscle fatigue. Hot stone massages available for 75 minutes or longer.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen limb. It should not be confused with a traditional massage. MLD has been found to be extremely effective for edema treatment and relaxation. It is also beneficial for pre/post-operative surgery as it can minimize scarring and reduce the healing process.

In addition to edema and relaxation, MLD aids in the reduction of swelling and puffiness in the face and neck area, cellulite reduction, and can decrease the frequency and severity of migraines. It can also help with various other conditions such as sinusitis, fibromyalgia, toxic poisoning, IBS, acne, chronic fatigue, and sleeping disorders.

At Simple Wellness Solutions, our trained and certified therapists have experience working with a variety of clients and conditions, including MLD. Whether you’re looking to reduce swelling after surgery, alleviate the symptoms of a chronic condition, or simply relax and rejuvenate, we’re here to help. Contact us today to schedule your MLD appointment.

Consultation can be held in person or over the phone/on Zoom, this can be expected to last from 15-30 minutes. The layout of the consultation will begin by offering information and a guided outline of what our session together will look like. At this time I will answer any questions you have about hypnosis and its process. Afterward, we will begin the interview process in which I will ask you a series of questions relating to what you would like to get out of our session, and together we will zero in on something you would either like to work on to remove/de-energize or something you would like to strengthen. Once we finish the interview portion, we will schedule you for your hypnotherapy session.

Hypnotherapy is a form of guided relaxation using concentration where the ideas expressed by the therapist are generally experienced more vividly, which in turn creates a new awareness. The only requirement for getting therapeutic results is that the person has a conscious desire to change.

What will our session look like together?
You will get into a relaxed reclined position and I will guide you into a “trance state” which feels similar to how you would feel if you were in a guided meditation, then I will guide you through a given scenario, usually where you are imagining a healing moment. This main portion of therapy will integrate your own personal pieces throughout the session, including your own affirmations that you will create during the interview intake. After the main hypnosis session takes place and concludes, I will coax you out of your trance and back into a waking state. You will not usually fall asleep, instead just experience a deep relaxation.

Private sessions can be any of these styles or can be tailored to address a specific concern or goal. Group classes will incorporate elements from the following styles:

• Vinyasa | Vinyasa is a flow-based, dynamic yoga practice designed to cultivate presence by connecting movement with breath. Classes include a combination of centering and grounding to begin, sun salutations, standing and balance poses, hip openers, and pranayama (breath work).
• Slow Flow | Slow Flow offers a slower-paced Vinyasa practice. Students have more time to integrate to their mats, flow breath to movement, and hold asanas (poses) for a number of breaths. This style is especially well-suited for beginners. Also referred to as Hatha or Gentle Yoga.
• Restorative | Restorative is a practice focused on slowing down and resting with the total support of props. There is minimal movement in a restorative class, and most poses are floor-based. Props will be made available during class, and all are welcome to bring blocks, blankets, pillows, straps, and bolsters.
• Yin | Yin is a slow and nourishing practice where students can expect deep stretching during long holds in poses designed to target the fascia and connective tissues infused with time for meditation and pranayama, guided yogic breathing. Yin may increase flexibility and range of motion while providing relaxation and energetic benefits.

Prenatal and Postpartum Classes are available as private sessions. These classes are tailored to your specific needs and concerns. Expect to be supported and nurtured. Please consult with your doctor to confirm it is safe for you to practice.
