Wellness Massage
Wellness massage is done for relaxation and maintenance of well-being. Éireen's wellness massage integrates Swedish, craniosacral therapy and aromatherapy.
Swedish massage is a relaxing massage combining long, soothing strokes with kneading, tapping and trigger point work. It's usually the kind of massage people think of when they hear the word "massage." Swedish is usually done with oil or lotion, and is either a general full-body massage or is focused on specific areas for injury rehabilitation. Swedish increases blood and lymph circulation to help flush out toxins from the body.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no more than the weight of a nickel, craniosacral therapy releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. Craniosacral therapy is an excellent modality as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of physical and emotional problems associated with pain and dysfunction, such as migraines, depression, anxiety, TMJ syndrome, and head and neck pain. CST is a great addition to massage, as it can engender deep relaxation and patients often fall into a relaxed trance-like state or peaceful sleep.
Essential oils have been used for thousands of years to heal from injury and illness, and to restore health and vitality. Used in massage, they can assist tissue reparation after accidents, increase energy and promote general well-being.
In a Raindrop Technique, powerful therapeutic Grade A essential oils are dropped like "little raindrops" and massaged into the spine, relieving muscular tension in the body. The oils encourage detoxification by ridding the body of pathogens that lie dormant in the spine and soft tissues. Éireen uses Young Living Essential Oils, considered by many to be one of the highest quality essential oils in the world, because they are 100% pure, unadulterated and organic.
