There are other modalities not highlighted here that may be included in a session; however these
are the core modalities employed at Wings of Healing.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy gently allows for the recollection and resolution of past events perhaps by seeing
the event in a positive framework.  Hypnosis and guided imagery are effective tools for achieving
general wellness, reducing stress and anxiety, and minimizing  pain in an effective non-invasive
manner.  Myo-hypnosis is a painless method of actualizing muscle memory release. Medical
hypnosis and fibro-hypnosis are wonderful techniques that are an important part of Wings of
Healing.

Reiki healing
Reiki, simply put, is healing energy. Reiki allows the practitioner to draw upon universal guided
life energy restoring balance within the body, mind and spirit and emotions. Divinely guided Reiki
empowers the person to receive gentle and effective healing on all levels and strengthens the
mind, body, spirit connection.

Cranio-sacral/Reiki healing
The cranio-sacral system includes the bones of the skull, face and mouth and continues to the
sacrum. An imbalance in this system can have detrimental effects on health and well-being.
Through extremely light, hands-on pressure, the cranio-sacral therapist assists the body in
self-correction and self-healing by restoring balance in the cranio-sacral rhythm. Often times Reiki
is given first to client or even after providing additional relaxation/healing.

Reflexology/Engergetic Balancing
This ancient therapy is based on the principle that there are reflex points in the hands and feet
that correspond to all the body's organs, glands and nerves. Reflexology removes blockages in
the body's energy flow and releases energy to promote healing. These releases allow nerve
impulses to function properly and improve circulation and lymphatic flow.

Myomassology/holistic modalities
Along with the proven benefits of Swedish massage such as relaxation and stress reduction,
Myomassology includes various other therapeutic techniques to foster physical, emotional, and
spiritual healing. This integration of body, mind and spirit may include cranio-sacral therapy,
reflexology, aromatherapy, polarity, trigger point therapy, shiatsu, myofacial release and more.
See RUIT therapy below for chronic issues.

frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, sciatica, joint pain including jaw pain, migraines and more. This
