Save Face is a treatment using Yamuna Body Rolling balls specially developed for use on the face. Obvious benefits include reducing the appearance of wrinkles, because the ball work actually creates micro shifts in the facial bones, lifting and separating the structure of the face, not just the surface tissues. The technique also helps with TMJ disfunction, facial surgery recovery, sinus and headache pain, and other issues that affect your face, head, and neck. You can receive this full technique by itself or, abbreviated, combined with a regular massage session.
Lomi Lomi is the Hawaiian word for "massage". It has two additional meanings, "loving hands" and "to break into tiny pieces", and it is part of a larger native Hawaiian tradition of healing and natural body care. According to Hawaiian tradition, all living beings are seeking a state of balance and love in the world. During a Lomi Lomi session, therefore, I focus on not only relaxing your body through listening touch, but also reviving your spirit and filling your body with the energy of Aloha. Traditionally, the Hawaiian people receive this treatment three days in a row at the change of each season as part of a purification ritual and to increase the body's immune function. The session is a specific, rhythmic sequence, so the time will vary, depending on the individual client. Hawaiian music and oils containing the fragrances of the islands will be used. Following a Lomi Lomi session, it is recommended that you not only consume extra drinking water, but soak in a warm salt bath to continue the detoxification process, and finish with a cool shower.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury or surgery, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness. This is also indicated when the client has had lymph nodes removed, so as to assist the body in the removal of toxins.
Lymphatic Drainage is very gentle and rhythmic work and can be performed while the client is clothed, making it a nice alternative for someone who may be uncomfortable getting undressed or someone who has suffered from one of many kinds of traumas.
This can be a full-body treatment or integrated into any other massage session. Combine with an Ionizing Detox Foot Bath for increased effect.
Polarity therapy is a type of bodywork which is focused on the energy fields of the body, rather than the physical body itself. This type of body work is also called energy work, because the practitioner attempts to adjust the skewed energy fields of the body and bring them into balance. During a polarity therapy session, the therapist and client usually work together in a very calm, relaxed environment.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

This system removes toxins, free radicals, and other waste products from the body by neutralizing free radicals and then drawing them out of your feet through osmosis. In several studies this system was proven to remove heavy metals and help with symptoms related to hormone imbalances, flu-like symptoms, aches and pains, poor nutrient absorption, chronic fatigue, and allergies.
The Raindrop Technique is an application of eleven therapeutic grade essential oils chosen specifically to release tension in the para-spinal muscles, increase nerve function, and balance the body's energy. These oils are known for their antiseptic, antibacterial, and antispasmodic properties, making it a great tool to increase the body's immune response.
The session involves the application of oils, a gentle back and shoulder massage, and hot towels to finish. Unless you prefer otherwise, the oils are also applied to the reflex areas of the feet, giving complete body relaxation.
Yamuna® Body Rolling is a completely original fitness and therapy practice that combines healing, wellness, and injury prevention in a single, simple workout. YBR heals body problems at the same time that it helps you get in shape.
YBR consists of routines that use a re-inflatable ball to stretch muscles, freeing restrictions in all parts of the body, increasing blood flow, and promoting healing. YBR empowers people to tone, strengthen, and realign their own bodies and the prevent and fix all sorts of body problems.
As a certified YBR practitioner, I use the balls as tools during massage sessions when applicable, and during individual or group classes to teach clients how to use the balls as a self-help tool. If you are interested in learning Body Rolling, contact me! You will love it!
A special form of YBR called Save Face is a stand-alone treatment that helps with TMJ, facial surgery recovery, sinus issues, headache relief, and other issues that affect your face, head, and neck.
