Sound healing therapy uses aspects of music to improve your physical and emotional health and well-being. The person being treated is fully clothed and the experience is similar to a Reiki session. There are different types of sound therapy, including vibrational sound therapy, which uses special sounds that produce vibrations thought to improve brain waves.

CosMassage
Individual session $75

All equipment is provided
CosMassage is designed to induce a pronounced state of relaxation that can be accessed through a combination of deep breathing, a relaxing environment, and safe touch. This is NOT A DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE. (Studies have demonstrated that light to medium pressure is most effective at promoting relaxation and the resulting benefits. Any deeper and the pain receptors are activated, making it difficult to access that rest/ relaxation mode.)
The key components of CosMassage are mindfulness, sound healing, stretching, deep breathing, guided meditation, chakra balancing, and touch.
This is a fully clothed 60-75 minute session. You will be on yoga mats, bolstered for comfort, and blankets for warmth.
You will begin with a focus on your breath. During this you will be guided through a meditation to quiet your mind and connect you with your inner self.
Listen as the Sound Immersion whisks you into a quiet meditative state.
You will then be moved into very supportive yoga based restoration positions, ranging from seated, to prone and supine positions. The supportive aspect comes from the use of many props: bolsters; blocks; and blankets. There should be no pain, and endless variations to ensure you are comfortable and fully supported throughout the session. You do not need to have any experience with yoga, the positions are only restorative and will not entail any balance or long holds. These positions are seated and lying, so no standing. Each position will be held for 5 to 8 minutes.
While you are being supported in the positions, I will be coming around and massaging different body parts such as arms, hands, low back, legs, feet, neck, and head. I will be making sure you are comfortable and pressure is good.
While you are in the restorative positions, you will be bathed in healing sounds and frequencies.
The session ends with completely grounding you and clearing the space of the energies that have been released.
Delicious tea or spa water will be offered at the end to hydrate and revitalize you before you leave.
