We'll journey, connect, commune, play, explore, and feel. Palliative and end-of-life support are also available. Caring for ourselves is at the heart of being sustainable in our communities, families, friendships and loves. Having the inner resources and sense of self connection to be in the flow is a key to maintaining our balance. Sometimes even at the busiest times (especially at these times!) we need permission to stop in our tracks and take stock of what it is that would truly nourish us, like receiving a 60 or 90 min. Sometimes being heard at the level of the body can fed our hearts, souls, and minds in a way we had not quite imagined and leave us with with more space inside with which to navigate our lives. I offer the following seven types of massage and healing bodywork which can support you in shifting from busyness into the still well of your being. SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage is the best-known massage therapy. It involves mild, moderate, or deep strokes on the back, arms, legs, neck, and other body parts to target tissues and muscles for maximal pain relief, and stress release. A Swedish massage can improve your circulation, relieve muscle tension, and induce relaxation. This natural oil based massage along with adjustable pressure will help you unwind, sleep better, and recharge. 60 & 90 minute sessions are offered. MASSAGE TESTIMONIAL

SHIATSU THERAPY
Shiatsu is a Japanese healing art which has been practised for thousands of years. Rhythmical vertical pressure is applied to the body awakening life force energy. Shiatsu is best known for its ability to soothe, rejuvenate, and promote an overall sense of well-being. Pressure varies according to the needs of each individual from feathery light to deep tissue releases. 60 & 90 minute sessions are offered. WARM STONE MASSAGE
This beautiful treatment melts your tension away as warm basalt stones are applied to the body using natural massage oil and Swedish style massage strokes. The heat penetrates deep into your tissues as these smooth stones are placed along your back. This massage is poetry in motion. It’s great for arthritis, muscular pain, and relaxation.

HAWAIIAN LOMI LOMI MASSAGE
Having lived for six years on Kauai, I delight in sharing this ancient gift of the islands. Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage is known for its fluid, oceanic rhythm which lulls you into a depth of relaxation reminiscent of the tropics. For centuries it has been used among Hawaiian royalty and the kahunas (the spiritual teachers) to support healing mind, body, and spirit. As with Swedish Massage, oil is used and and you'll receive your Lomi Lomi on a massage table. 60 & 90 minute sessions are offered. LOMI LOMI TESTIMONIAL
“My Lomi Lomi with Valerie was definitely the best massage I have experienced! At the sound of the chime, signifying the end of this all-embracing body massage – Hawaiian style, I felt so relaxed that a profound feeling of peace came over me. I must admit that Valerie’s massage was like a spiritual experience.”

SHIATSU TESTIMONIAL
"Valerie Moysey is a skilled, highly trained and intuitive practitioner. Whenever I leave from her shiatsu sessions, I feel a sense of release from all the accumulated stresses and toxicities that one accumulates. Freer in mind, body and spirit." Jalynn Bennett
SOUND HEALING
Sound healing is also known as vocal toning. This form of therapy marries vocal sounding and healing touch. It can help decrease pain, improve sleep, mental clarity, and creativity. Every session is uniquely tailored to the receiver’s needs and comfort level. Sound healing can be offered without the use of massage oil or incorporated into a massage. Sessions are 90 or 120 minutes long. SOUND HEALING TESTIMONIALS
"My session with Valerie resonated with me at a deep, primal level. Since my session two months ago, I feel more centered and at home in
my body...I had nothing to compare it to and ended up experiencing it freshly, like a child - which was delicious. I look forward to having more sessions with her..." Judith Church

REIKI
Reiki is a healing practice which can support a peaceful and restorative experience for body, mind, and spirit. Gentle yet powerful hand placements realign and awaken the body’s innate wisdom. Tension, stress, and pain can melt away under the warmth and nurturance of Reiki. Sessions are 60 minutes long. No oils are used so it’s best to wear loose and comfortable clothing. REIKI TESTIMONIAL
“…From the moment I walked into Valerie’s studio, I felt an energy of peace and serenity surround me. She emanates a genuine sense of…compassion. I felt safe, held, and cared for by her strong, grounded presence and would recommend her healing work to anyone.”
