Hot Stone

Basalt lava stones used for massageHot Stone is a wonderfully relaxing, and soothing way to painlessly relieve even the deepest tension. Lyn uses black basalt stones which are very smooth and retain the heat for a long time.

Placing and kneading hot stones over muscles helps increase an area's circulation and blood flow to stimulate healing to painful or injured muscles. The deep tissue massage and heat of the stones also aid in the ability to move toxins and waste through the body.

LomiLomi

Lomilomi is the ancient Hawaiian massage. The dance like rhythmic movements of lomilomi were inspired from the sea and the wind. This massage brings healing energy to the client on 3 levels:

Physically

Lomilomi increases the circulation of blood and lymph. This flushes the toxins and brings nutrients and oxygen to every cell. This will leave your body feeling restored.

Mentally

This massage helps to release past memories and trauma allowing you to let go of your inner chatter.

Spiritually

Lomilomi will leave you feeling at harmony with a sense of peace and well being.

Cranial Sacral Therapy

I've been to others on Vashon, but keep returning to Lyn because of her skill and spirit. After skiing or kayaking she restores my body!
- John

Cranial Sacral Therapy is a good approach for healing post traumatic effects of an accident or emotional trauma. It is also very effective in relief of chronic back pain, headaches, clearing pain and stress, and TMJ pain. This is done using a very light but effective touch to allow the tissues to relax and release. If you're prone to migraines or have a recent injury such as whiplash, this therapy may be the perfect form of relief. Many people go into a deep alpha state while recieving this therapy.

Cupping

Cupping MassageMassage Cupping is very relaxing, effective, and a time honored technique dating back thousands of years.

By creating suction and negative pressure, massage cupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles, loosen adhesions, and separate layers of connective tissue to bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues. Massage cupping bodywork is versatile and can easily be modified to accomplish a range of techniques, from facilitation of lymphatic drainage to deep-tissue myofacial release.

Suction pulls toxins, pathogenic factors, blood poison, dead lymph and cellular debris from deep within tissues to the skin. These toxic agents are then more easily expelled from the body with the use of massage cupping. The marks dissipate from a few hours to several weeks, depending on the amount of stagnation and post treatment activities. Massage cupping marks are an indication of existing disease and toxins being removed from deep within the tissues. If there is no restriction, pathogen, blockage in lymph or blood circulation, marks will appear light pink, which indicates normal healthy blood flow to the dermis and disappear within a few minutes after the treatment.

Usually, the greatest amount of deposits being drawn to the surface will occur in the first few treatments- this is a good thing. The marks will lessen in intensity as the deeper issues are resolved and stagnations and toxins are processed out of the body via the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

Although the marks look painful, they are not; Clients usually feel an immediate sense of relief.

Intraoral Massage

Lyn has been my masseuse for 16 years. She recently relieved me of some jaw pain in one session. I am grateful that she is now skilled in intraoral work.
