Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster than high stress in both internal and external aspects.  Massage, Yoga, Reiki, and Qigong are effective tools for managing stress, which can translate into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

Massage & Reflexology can specifically help address a number of health issues.

Bodywork can:

Yoga & Qigong

   Yoga & Qigong have parallel benefits to bodywork; both help an individual to strive for complete balance within themselves.
