Integrative Bodywork


Integrative Bodywork
For musculoskeletal pain, and neurological pain
Over ten years of practice Alexis has first studied and practiced craniosacral therapy, somatoemotional release, then Integrative Bodywork, reflexology, Reiki and acupressure. Often people seek relief from musculoskeletal pain, neurological pain, and many forms of stress. Treating the symptoms requires reconnecting the parts of the body that have forgotten how to communicate with one another. Finding the voice of these body parts, and re-establishing this communication helps us understand why pain manifests. Above all prevention is the goal. Over time, we come into a greater understanding of our physical, emotional and spiritual constitution, and how that constitution drives the patterns that both bring us out of balance and then bring us back into balance.

In a given session Alexis will carefully gather your health history, evaluate the condition, and might recommend a combination of :

Craniosacral Therapy
Somatoemotional Release or therapeutic imagery and dialogue
Swedish, deep tissue or friction massage
Acupressure
Aromatherapy
Reflexology
Yoga postures
Breathing practices
Dietary modifications

Treatment plans generally span over four sessions every other week, or depending on the level of pain may be spread out monthly for several months. Many times yoga classes are recommended in addition to treatment, and sometimes alternate visits with an acupuncturist, chiropractor, naturopath, or Ayurvedic physician might be recommended.
