HEALING ARTS
Asian Bodywork
Shiatsu and Asian Bodywork have been effectively used to support the healing process during and after cancer therapy. Treatments are performed fully clothed and do not involve needles. Drawing on the body-mind and holistic healing systems of the East, Shiatsu?s meditative combination of acupressure, manual techniques and passive stretching can be catered to one?s condition and/or symptoms, and optimized for comfort. 30-minute sessions.
Massotherapy
A 30-minute, fully-clothed, individual massage, which will assist with pain reduction and relaxation.
Reiki
A Japanese energetic healing modality restoring energetic pathways and creating conditions for greater health, wholeness and vitality. 45-minute sessions.
Polarity
The hands-on science of balancing energy currents in the body to restore natural health and relaxation. Wear comfortable clothing. 30-minute sessions.
Foot Reflexology
The ancient art of reflexology utilizes pressure applied to ?reflex? points on the feet, which correspond to various body parts and help stimulate the body?s self-healing powers. Come ease your stress during our 30-minute sessions.
Tuning Fork Therapy
The theory behind tuning forks is that emitted sound waves promote self-healing, deep relaxation and restore mind and body balance. Tuning forks may also reduce stress, muscular tension, spasms and pain. Tuning forks have also been known to transcend individuals to higher levels of consciousness and enable one to access deep, spiritual insights. 45-minute sessions.

Mindful-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Sessions
Mindful-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a well-defined, systematic, educational and focused intervention, which helps cancer participants, family members, friends or co-workers with meditation techniques, yoga and self-assessment skills that can be applied in everyday life. One of the goals of MBSR is to manage physical and emotional pain. This eight-week course will help you to become attuned with your body, increase self-awareness and learn how ?to be? in the present moment. Join Andy Davis, MSEd, PCC on selected Wednesdays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. This will be a closed class (drop-ins will not be permitted) and pre-registration is mandatory. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Check calendar for dates.
