What exactly does a Neurofeedback treatment entail? A discussion with our practitioner Nancy Champagne to learn about your treatment and why Neurofeedback can help you; followed by 33 minutes of pure relaxation. During treatment, you’ll enjoy zero conversation, zero distraction, and the most enchanting sounds that take your brain into the deepest levels of zen.
SO HOW DOES IT WORK?
Neurofeedback enhances brain function by naturally increasing production of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, within the brain. Relaxing with the Neuro system brings the mind and body into a meditative state which increases serotonin (our body’s natural “feel good” chemical which reduces feelings of depression and anxiety) and GABA (a chemical messenger in our brain which is known for producing a calming effect) benefiting the neurotransmitters in our brain.
Enhancing neurotransmitters supports our overall cognitive wellbeing. Neurofeedback brain training detects sudden shifts and informs the brain through interruptions in the sound you are listening to. These almost imperceptible pauses invite your central nervous system to pull away from this less-than-ideal path it was on. This happens over and over until the natural self-correction becomes your new normal and your brain functions more efficiently, effectively and comfortably. When this happens, you sleep better, are less stressed, can focus more easily and feel the joy of an easier life, despite the challenges you may face from the outside.

relaxation massage therapy
Just need to relax, and let go? We can help you with just that. Relaxation massage therapy involves very light soothing strokes to help improve a relaxed mind and overall nice feel. Deep problem areas are typically not treated in this form of massage. If you have severe chronic pains, or just can't handle the pressures of deep massage, you may want to request a relaxation treatment.
SWEDISH MASSAGE THERAPY
The most common type of body-work performed today is the Swedish massage. This is the technique of applying long, firm, broad strokes to the muscle to decrease toxins and inflammation, increase blood flow to the injured areas by increasing flexibility to the tissues and getting rid of any tension.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE THERAPY
Deep tissue treatments are the same as Swedish massage but in a deeper form. This is a more efficient way of treating chronic tension and deep aches and pains. It also helps with the breaking down of adhesions which in turn improves muscle mobility. Deep tissue therapy includes very heavy pressure and different methods of muscle stripping to muscles and tendons.
PRE-NATAL MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage for pregnant women helps in the same way. The main focus however is decreasing inflammation that occurs in pregnancy, relieving the usual low back pain and discomfort in the hips, and increasing relaxation - great for the mind while your body goes through major changes.
We have a pregnancy massage table with a large hole for your growing belly. In your treatment you are able to lay face down (as you would in a normal massage). You will be pillowed according to your body shape and size for optimal comfort.
It is very important for your therapist to know if you are pregnant. We ask that you do not receive massage in your first trimester, for health precautions. All health updates must be reviewed with your therapist in each treatment as many changes can occur month to month.
All of our therapists are trained in Pre-natal Massage Therapy.
cupping massage therapy
Cupping Massage Therapy is an alternative therapy that dates back to ancient Eastern cultures where a series of cups are placed on the back or other areas. The cups create a suction to help break up old dead tissues under the skin that will in turn increase circulation, release toxins and relieve pain. Cupping can provide relief for many health conditions such as muscular pain and tension, poor circulation, anxiety, some skin conditions, menstrual pain and cramping, and more.
Our qualified therapists for Cupping: Tyler Burns, Renee Mejicanos and Angie Baydack
HOT STONE MASSAGE THERAPY
Warm yourself with our Hot Stone Massage Therapy treatment. Designed to soothe your aches, warm your muscles, and ultimately increase relaxation throughout your entire body. Volcanic rocks are heated and applied both in placement and in long massage strokes to the entire body. They retain heat to give the deepest, warming therapy.
Our qualified therapist for Hot Stone: Chelsea Parker
