About Our Healing Practices

Discover the ancient wisdom and modern applications of Reiki and Acupressure healing. Our approach combines traditional techniques with contemporary understanding to provide comprehensive care for body, mind, and spirit.

Our Healing Methods

Reiki Healing

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.

  • Promotes deep relaxation
  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Supports natural healing processes
  • Balances mind, body, and spirit
  • Enhances overall well-being

Acupressure Therapy

Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to gradually press key healing points, which stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. It relieves pain, reduces tension, and promotes wellness.

  • Relieves muscle tension and pain
  • Improves circulation
  • Reduces headaches and migraines
  • Supports emotional balance
  • Enhances physical recovery

What is a Session Like?

A typical session combines both Reiki and Acupressure techniques over 60 minutes. You'll lie fully clothed on a massage table while healing is administered through gentle hands-on techniques. The experience is enhanced by soft lighting and soothing music, creating a deeply relaxing atmosphere.

A treatment supports you:

Physically
Emotionally
Mentally
Spiritually

The result is a sense of relaxation, peace, and well-being that promotes healing. When your energy is strong, you sleep better and deal with stress more effectively, making you less vulnerable to illness.

Client Testimonials

I have been very fortunate to have regular bodywork from Carmen since 2015. She has helped me with pain from old injuries such as Bursitis, and chronic stiffness in my back, neck and shoulders resulting from injuries I received in car accidents. I am very particular about who works on me because I am a massage therapist.

- Tammie, CMT

When I came to Carmen for my first visit, I was emotionally stressed out and physically run down. I was amazed how I felt after my first session with her. I felt centered, calm, relaxed, happy, and invigorated. I also had peace of mind, body, and spirit.

- Tara

Carmen has been doing Reiki and Acupressure on me, and within two weeks the pain is less. She knows where the pain is coming from, and she knows exactly how to go about making it better.
