The Healing Space

Hello everyone!
I am still currently not back in business yet, but I will be taking some clients at Shasta Strong Wellness Spa inside of Win-River Resort & Casino on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

Happy Tuesday and thank you all for the support ♥️🙏

Thank you all for all the love and support I‘ve got here from the people of Weaverville/ Trinity County Community! You are all amazing and I’m so grate full for all of you, so this post is a little hard for me.

I will unfortunately be taking a break from massage therapy. I have been dealing with my own pain for some months now and my flares are getting bad and more frequent. I have started going to physical therapy, but it maybe some time before I can get fully back to work, so I won’t be at Ann Elias’s office after this month. I do plan on coming back, but right now my personal health is taking priority.

Thank you all for understanding and I wish you all the best!! I will still be offering spiritual counseling, divination, and energy work focusing reiki and chakra healing, either in person or via video chat

I have been asked what products I use for massage and it’s all organic and sensitive skin safe. I also have scented options such as adding lavender lotion to your massage or any of my Young Living Essential oil options, as well as Sacred Botanicals’ Magnesium butter for the sore spot

Have you ever wanted a massage but didn’t know what to expect? Or have had questions for your massage therapist? Well, I’d be happy to answer any questions!! And please feel free to ask your therapist any massage related questions you may have to help better your massage experience

Common massage questions:

Should I be under the sheets?
-Yes, to protect your modesty, we ask you be under the sheet with the blanket on top

How much should I undress?
-it’s up to you!! We usually ask our female clients to not have any straps on the back that may hinder gliding strokes, but the client is in charge of how much clothes they do or don’t wear under the sheet. Either way, we will help protect your modesty
*Fully clothed massages are available if a client doesn’t want to be under a sheet or to undress

Does getting a massage hurt?
Best answer, in a light to medium pressue, no. In a medium-deep to deep pressure, there can be some discomfort, but no more than an 7/8 on a pain scale of 1-10. No massage sure hurt, but you can experience point of pressure that maybe harder to handle than others, which should be communicated to your therapist, so your therapist can adjust the pressure. In therapeutic massages such as deep tissues/ myofasical release, it is normal for the areas of concern to be worked at a constant 5-8 on a pain scale to help with your release, but again, it is up to the communication of your therapist, as well yourself as the client to make sure it’s a good release, and not painful, because the levels of pressure everyone can take varies from person to person

Why do people get massages?
There are many many many reasons why people get massages, but a few to list are:
-increase circulation, such as moving nutrients, oxygen, red blood cells through the body, as well as aiding in expelling toxins and waste
-It's basically a painkiller
-It boosts your immunity
-It improves your flexibility
- It reduces stress and increases over all relaxation
-It fends off headaches
-It boosts your mood
-It reduces muscle soreness
-Improving energy, alertness, and over all body awareness
-Lowering heart rate and blood pressure
And still so much more!

I’m also very open to questions, as most massage therapists are, so please feel free to ask any massage related questions you may have! Ask me on via Messenger or feel free to ask me during the massage consultation at your next appointment

Myofasical release: $70
Myofascial release is a manipulative treatment that attempts to release tension in the fascia due to trauma, posture, or inflammation through a concept of body meridian lines (how the muscles connect) focusing through the connective tissues called fascia surround the muscles, bones, nerves, and organs of the body.

Deep tissue:$70
“Deep Tissue,” therapeutic massages uses strategic strokes to increase circulation, release muscle tension and remove lactic acid

Reiki energy work/chakra healing $30 for 30mins
Reiki means "universal life energy." It's an ancient healing method that manipulates energy flow in the body. Reiki practitioners believe there is an energy force in and around the body. They believe that there is a flow of energy between the reiki practitioner and the receiver of the treatment.

Chakra healing is an Ayurvedic practice based on the concept of Chakra points and how these energy points of the body affect you’re being. It’s healthy to have blockages, but too much stagnation in other areas may influence our day to day lives and how we interact with ourselves and others. Chakra cleansing is offered to help release those points to better help the natural flow of the body

*Reiki energy work/Chakra healing can be added onto any service for $10*

Reiki massage: $70
This is my own version of mind, body, soul, massage to help release tension, stress, and all baggage starting from your spirit, working through the physical body

Coming soon:
Hot stone
This type of massage involves the use and placement of basalt River rock on different points of the body. The rocks are heated before use and the massage therapist can then apply deeper pressure to areas of concern without causing any discomfort.

If you are someone with sensitive skin or just have preference for what goes on your body, I am ok with clients bringing their own medium (lotion/oil) for massage.
I understand what it’s like to have sensitive skin, not wanting to risk if another lotion or oil will hurt your skin. I do use natural, fragrance free, inclusive products, but I understand skin can be a little hard to find the right recipe that works for you.
I will always have supplies here, but I want you to know this is a safe space for you and you are welcome to bring in anything that help your healing or just come in an receive healing!
