Champissage
Champissage treatment incorporates the ancient system of Ayurvedic massage principals. Champi is an Indian word which means head massage. Champissage has been practiced in India for over 1,000 years. It works on emotional, physical and subtle levels. On the subtle level Ayurevedic principles are incorporated to balance the energy centers. This massage works in the higher Chakras (sahasrara, ajna, vishuddha) which provides a powerful healing effect on the body by bringing the whole body back into balance. Champissage is a convenient treatment because it is done on a chair fully clothed with oils being an option especially for those who have allergies

Reiki
The word Reiki is often translated as universal life force energy, electrical excitation or aura. This energy is called Chi by the Chinese and Prana by Hindus. Research studies have shown that Reiki speeds wound healing, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress and is effective as part of a regimen to manage pain. Reiki is beneficial in releasing emotional blockages that prevent the healthy flow of universal life force energy throughout the body, mind and aura. A recent survey of American hospitals by the international association of Reiki practitioners indicates that hundreds of hospitals now use Reiki for therapeutic benefits, both pre- and post-surgery and for those suffering from stress and other disorders.
Sessions are usually 45 minutes
