Lena Jdanova - My goal as a massage provider is to help my clients feel more empowered and balanced in their lives by removing the obstacles and blocks that hold them back from getting what they want and becoming who they want to become. My work is to facilitate waking up of the natural healing power within. My joy is to witness the moment of transformation of pain and limitation into a new possibility of growth and freedom. Through the bodywork I access the nervous system, and erase the unnecessary residual information that stresses it. Tension is replaced by stillness, which is a dynamic state of non-opposed motion. It brings awareness into the "here and now", accepting self as is. This moment of self-alignment initiates healing on many levels. |

Robert DeNies - The simple way to describe Thai massage is: After I warm up the clients body with some rhythmic acupressure, I take the client through a whole series of deep assisted yoga-like stretches while I massage them. The client doesn't do anything, I'll do it all for them. Thai massage is done on a futon while comfortable clothed and consists of rhythmic acupressure, gentle rocking and assisted yoga-like stretches. No oils are involved. |

Shalamah Yahchove, D. C. - I offer healing remedies of chiropractic and massage therapies. When using chiropractic, I use low-medium forces and each session may be tailored to your needs, assisting your healing journeys. I have studied and trained in numerous branches of massage and bodywork styles. Along with being a chiropractor, my extensive background includes Swedish/Esalen, deep-tissue, lymphatic and cranial therapies. I have immersed myself in studying the ingenious healers massage art form of New Zealand, the Maori. I believe the benefits of massage are numerous and this form of Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) has been used since ancient times. My focus when working with each patient is to unleash the natural power within. Improving health is my credo of care! I believe - Health is multidimensional, not just physical; health comes from within; and health is a natural condition of the body. |
