Frost and Hearth is a beautiful massage done with a blend of essential oils that creates a cooling effect on the skin, and has inflammatory properties. The massage is done on the upper back, shoulders, neck and legs. This is what creates the Frost! Then you get to enjoy a beautiful hot stone massage which creates the hearth on the same areas already worked with the beautiful blend of essential oils. The cups are then applied to your back and worked to maximize the holistic benefits of this service. Frost and Hearth assists with tension relief and the promotion of the flow of energy or chi to the muscles.
This service is 60 min in length. If this sounds divine and just what you need to bring your body and mind back into alignment please DM me for availability πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’•

What is Reiki?
Simply, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy.
​
Everybody experiences a Reiki treatment differently, but often a treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
As for what you may feel, sometimes clients feel heat or coolness, tingling, vibration, buzzing, itchiness, sleepiness, euphoria, or nothing at all. The more Reiki treatments you receive, the more aware you will become of the Reiki energy. It is almost always certain that you will feel comfort, peace, and love during a treatment. For those who may not experience any particular feeling, or very little, as time passes, hours after the treatment, you may become aware of differences in how you feel. For instance, pain may subside slowly and you may feel surprise at the loss of pain, or you may feel energized. The client may slowly sit up and stand when ready. Since Reiki releases toxins, it is always recommended to drink plenty of water over the next several hours.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

An Indian Head Massage starts with a beautiful oiled massaged using essential oils on the upper back, shoulders, neck and upper arms. I then use oils on the scalp to gently work into the hair and all over the scalp hitting acupressure points which allow for relief of headaches, muscle aches, and eye strain. This allows you to relax fully. I then will get you to turn over onto your back where I gently massage points on your face and continue working the front of the head using the same techniques I used on the back of your head and scalp. When done your hair has had a beautiful oil treatment. I recommend leaving the oil in your hair for 24 hours if able as this will help your hair be soft and smooth. If unable it is ok.
If this treatment sounds divine and just what you need to de stress and realign your body and mind then book your session today by DM πŸ’ž

I am presently working on my certification to become Registered with the Reflexology Association Canada. I am affiliated with Aromatica and Danu Wellness for all training

How did I choose these modalities? I didn’t, it chose me. As a RPN with 21 years experience, it was time to venture into a new realm and help others naturally heal themselves. Because of my experience, I am knowledgeable in Anatomy and Physiology as well as disease and disease process. I provide a relaxing atmosphere by using Essential oils, relaxing music and crystals in the sessions which allows you to de-stress. When your body's chakras are balanced, and you have allowed yourself to de-stress, your energy flows more freely thus allowing the body to heal itself.

Stay tuned to my page as I will be working on bring more modalities to Lotus Alternatives to better serve you and your needs.
