| Modalities- Different types of massage therapy Radiance Breathwork/Movement therapy- The work of Gay and Kathyln Hendricks to resolve birth trauma and release unresolved emotions that are held in the body. Radiance Technique- Supposedly the
true science of Reiki by Barbara Weber Ray
Reflexology- Massage that deals
with the feet and hands, treating reflex points. Sometimes referred to
as "zone therapy" because of the specific zones in the feet, hands
and ears. The bottom of the foot and the palm of the hand mirror
the body. The toes reflect the head and neck; the balls of the feet
correspond to the chest, lung area and shoulder; the arch covers the diaphragm
to the pelvic area; the heel corresponds to the pelvic area;
the inner (medial) side of the foot reflects the spine; the outer
(lateral) foot reflects the arm, shoulder, hip, leg, knee, lower back;
the ankle corresponds with the pelvic area and reproductive organs.
Stimulating certain areas may not directly "cure" the aliment, but the
points may increase the energy to the organ or related area to assist in
healing. Many experienced reflexologist can predict deeper underlying problems
from what they read in the feet.

Rolfing® - 10 session system of bodywork
developed by Ida Rolf in the 1970's. Ida was a biochemist and practiced
yoga for 30 years. Works to rebalance posture and balance in the body.
There are many different versions of the work that are being passed on.
Rosen Method- Developed by Marion
Rosen who studied breathing and relaxation techniques extensively.
The work is about transformation by improving alignment and flexibility
using non-intrusive touching, verbal interaction and breathing. The
body protects itself from painful past experiences by separating from it's
true self. Shortness of breath and chronic muscle tension are a result
of this protective mechanism.
Rubenfeld Synergy Method ®-
Body centered psychotherapy developed by Ilana Rubenfeld from many disciplines
such as the Alexander technique, Feldenkrais, Gestalt, Hypnotherapy of
Milton Erickson. This method uses many techniques including verbal expression,
movement, breathing, posture, awareness and sound to access repressed emotions.
The body is the sacred
sanctuary of the soul. Also uses some Aura
analysis and dreamwork.
