Ionized Foot Detox
Over a series of sessions, this foot detox can cleanse your body of toxins. Your feet will be placed in water with a positive ionic charge. Negative ions in the body are attracted to the positive ones in the water, pulling heavy metals and other toxins out of your body through your feet. This treatment has been shown to decrease pain and lower cholesterol levels.
Ionized Foot Detox $30/30 minutes
Will I be completely detoxed after 1 visit?
A full detox is a total of 14 visits, typically once a week for 30-60 minutes but not more than once every 3 days.
What can I expect to feel during and after my foot detox session?
During your detox session, you may feel a gentle tingling sensation. After the footbath, it is typical to feel relaxed and have heightened mental clarity and a greater sense of wellbeing. Some people find that they sleep better while others that are experiencing chronic joint and muscle pain report immediate relief.
What does the color change in the water mean?
The water in the basin changes to a brownish color due to a reaction between the array, salt, water, minerals, and impurities in the water. The colors are also affected by oils being released from the sebaceous glands, dead skin, and the user’s own acidity. Some of the neutralized toxins will also exit the body through the pores of the feet through osmosis. Particular colors may indicate accumulated toxins in certain areas or from certain conditions that the ionic detox is helping to clear. As everyone responds differently to the detox, a provided color chart describes what areas were most affected during your session.
What can I expect after my detox?
As the detox process can dehydrate the body, be sure to rehydrate after your appointment by drinking plenty of water. Staying well hydrated will also help the body flush out any unreleased toxins. This treatment can also temporarily lower the electrolytes in the body, so it is best to plan for some additional relaxation time immediately following your treatment.

Reiki Energy Sessions
When the flow of the “Life Force Energy” (CHI or Qi) is disrupted, weakened or blocked, emotional or health problems tend to occur. Imbalances can be caused from many situations occurring in our lives. Reiki Energy provides a means to balance the human energy fields (Auras) and energy centers (Chakras) to create conditions needed for the body’s healing system to function.
The Reiki practitioner assists the client to heal themselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically by a simple laying-on of hands. The practitioner channels the energy through her hands, allowing it to flow where needed to bring the energy centers into alignment. She helps the client link to their own Qi to assist in the healing process, but ultimately it is up to the client to manifest harmony and balance in their own life.

How should I prepare for my session?
Treatments take place on the massage table (fully clothed), so dress comfortably. Please remove any jewelry prior to your session. Also, be mindful of others and arrive free of heavy smoke and perfumes.
What can I expect from my Reiki session?
Your time on the table allows you to completely relax with the help of the practitioner. Because we are all so uniquely different, we never know what will come up in a session. Your thoughts, emotions, actions, and traumas both emotional and physical have the most powerful effect on your overall health no matter how insignificant they may seem. Stirring your senses while deeply relaxing, your sessions can help balance you on an emotional and physical level as they are both connected. Try to allow yourself some extra time at the closing of your session to process thoughts and emotions without being rushed.
Chakra Cleansing
The seven chakras are energy centers in the body that regulate all functions from organs to emotions. Located from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, the chakras are the keys to a healthy life. If one of the chakras is blocked, the flow of energy through the centers is stopped. This can cause feelings of disconnectedness, decreased motivation, and even depression. Left untreated, physical symptoms like headaches or stomach upset can occur. Cleansing the chakras will eliminate the blockage and facilitate the flow of energy.
What are chakras? Chakras Cleansing is offered at $60.
The Chakra system is an ancient way of viewing the body in which it is divided into seven zones, each area having energy that must flow freely. When the chakras are in balance the entire body works in harmony and we feel energized, centered and whole.
Each of the 7 chakras has a corresponding color, earth element, location in the body, relative body functions and an emotional purpose.
- Root
- Sacral or pelvic
- Solar plexus
- Heart
- Throat
- Third Eye
- Crown
How is a chakra cleansing performed?
Chakra cleansing can be performed in a number of ways, including reiki and crystal cleansing. Reiki will gently open, realign, cleanse, and balance the energy flowing through the chakras. Crystals heal holistically by drawing out negative energy to positively impact your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Specific crystals and minerals are placed on or around the body relative to acupuncture points, meridians, or on chakras. Through their ability to hold and emit energy vibrations, crystals can absorb, focus, direct, and diffuse our energy fields to enable our bodies to rebalance to their natural energy rhythms.

Infrared Sauna
Our infrared sauna uses light waves to raise the core body temperature, resulting in a detoxifying effect. The sauna operates at a lower temperature than a traditional sauna, yet the heat penetrates more deeply to allow a more intense sweat — and is more comfortable than other saunas. Benefits include improved circulation, weight loss, and pain relief.
Infrared Sauna $25/30 minute session or $15 as an add-on to Massage and Chiropractic Services

- Stress and fatigue reduction

How safe is infrared heat?
Infrared heat is a naturally occurring output of the sun but it does not contain the harmful UV rays, so there is no risk of burning. Some individuals should take precautions, including children, the elderly, and those who are pregnant. If you have any concerns regarding your use of the sauna, we recommend checking with your physician before scheduling your appointment.
What is the difference between infrared and traditional saunas?
Traditional saunas heat the air in excess of 200℉ which can make the experience uncomfortably hot for the user. Infrared heat is very gentle and works at a much more comfortable operating temperature of 100-150℉. This type of heat penetrates human tissue and heats from the inside making infrared saunas seven times more effective at detoxifying the body than traditional saunas. By raising the body ’s core temperature, infrared saunas can produce a sweat composed of 20% toxins versus the 3% produced by traditional saunas.
What can I expect after my sauna session?
After your sauna treatment, your body will continue to sweat out toxins for 30 minutes following your session. We recommend that you allow yourself time to begin naturally cooling down before taking a lukewarm shower. As your pores will remain open for some time following your sauna treatment, your body will be more susceptible to any toxins in the water, so allow them to close naturally to reduce your exposure.
The sauna typically gets to around 130℉, and although you may not sweat as much as you expect, you should stay well hydrated and make sure to replace electrolytes.
