Question 1

Therapeutic / Medical Massage

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic/Medical massage caters to your specific needs and goals and works towards pain relief and management as well as specific injuries or areas that hold chronic stress or tension.  Therapeutic massages also help with relaxation and stress relief.   Pressure ranges from lighter touch (work with the connective tissue aka fascia), to deep tissue as needed. These sessions are always unique and individualized.   Types of therapeutic massage include: Deep Tissue Sports Massage Myofascial Release

Question 2

Myofascial Release

Accepted Answer

Myofascial tissues are defined as the continuous membranes that wrap, connect and support your muscles. Myofascial massage uses light to medium, prolonged pressure that releases and restores flexibility and mobility to this layer of tissue.   Because of its nature, working in this myofascial level connects to the whole body and has the ability to unravel and provide release to deeper layers and chronic holding patterns.   Myofascial release is often woven into a therapeutic/medical massage, and is also available as a full-length session option.

Question 3

Prenatal and Postpartum Massage

Accepted Answer

Heather offers both prenatal and postpartum massage. She is certified in prenatal massage and works individually with each client to provide the care needed. Proper precautions, bolsters and support are provided. Prenatal massage is used to relieve aches, pains and stress associated with pregnancy. Energetic space is also held for the baby in these sessions.    Postpartum care varies from soon after to much longer after birth.  Heather understands that each person’s experiences with postpartum physical, mental and emotional changes are unique. The goal with postpartum massage is restoration and whole body (re)connection.

Question 4

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Accepted Answer

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle manual therapy that promotes and encourages the movement of lymph fluids towards the lymph nodes in the body. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues.  The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and cleans toxins, proteins, unhealthy cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells.

Question 5

Craniosacral and Body-Energy Work

Accepted Answer

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Working with the central nervous system,  craniosacral techniques create space in the cranium and vertebrae in which major nerves stem. This method consists of extended holds and a “listening” to the cranial fluid that is palpable through the skull and other parts of the body.    Working with the central nervous system in this way helps to restore the body to its balanced state in which healing can occur naturally in all levels of being (mind, body, spirit). Craniosacral therapy is available as a full-length session or as a part of a therapeutic massage.   Body-energy work is involved in all massage and bodywork sessions because of the inherent and inseparable fact that the body is energy.  Intentional body-energy sessions are designed to hold space for the stories, traumas, ailments, and stresses patterned into the cells and tissues to be heard without words.    These types of sessions are much less active than traditional massage therapy sessions, and can be quite profound and softening.

Question 6

CBD Massage

Accepted Answer

“REMEDY” CBD Healing Balm (made with love by Heather and also available at Moon Rose studio for purchase) is included in every session unless otherwise requested. CBD has been shown to promote healing and restoration in cells and tissues.  This balm helps to reduce inflammation and pain in muscles, joints and other soft tissues. This will prolong the benefits of the massage session.

Question 7

Hot Stone Therapy

Accepted Answer

Integrating the use of hot stones in a massage session helps to relieve muscle tension and pain.  It may also be used to reduce stress and anxiety. Stones may be placed in specific sites of injury or strain, as well as be used alongside manual touch to encourage relief and release of muscle and connective tissue tension. Hot stones are included in each session unless otherwise requested.

Question 8

Cupping

Accepted Answer

The suction treatment provided by the Eastern art of cupping was designed to free any stagnant energy in the body associated with injury or tension.  The prolonged suction will release toxins, metabolic waste, and increase blood flow to the area.  Cupping is known for restoring range of motion in joints, as well as rejuvenating the myofascial connective tissue surrounding the area. Cupping can be incorporated to any session at your request, with no additional fee.
