Neuro Auricular Technique

A deeper level of stress reduction. Connects all the synapses of the brain and upper spinal cord, thus creating an environment that facilitates optimal health, healing and bodily function.

Four specific Essential Oils applied on the LC (Locus Ceruleus- a nucleus in the brain stem involved with physiological responses to stress and panic.) and the cranial ridge (occipital). Affects the Vagus nerve at the base of the brain, which impacts all digestive organs, lungs, heart, eyes, ears, nose and the endocrine system.

The benefits of NAT:

The Parkinson's NAT uses other essential oils, specific for balancing and reprogramming the DNA.

NAT may have a positive response for:

May interrupt most stress induced fear circuitry disorders, especially important for post traumatic stress disorder.

What's the connection between inflammation and disease?
The disease process is linked to stress, which creates inflammation in the body. Stress increases the production of a protein called Galactin-3, which creates the inflammatory response. Increases in Galactin-3 have been linked to heart disease, stroke, cancer and obesity.

Recent research has found that inflammation could be the root of every disease. Reduce inflammation; reduce disease. NAT dramatically reduces the stress response and in turn the inflammatory process. (Read "Stop Inflammation Now" by Richard M. Fleming, M.D.)

This is a very gentle session, working on the Locus Ceruleus (LC) and the occipital ridge on the neck and head. It can be booked as a stand alone appointment, or an add-on to any of the treatments below.

Aromatherapy Massage is a deep, full body massage with the addition of precious therapeutic grade essential oils that are chosen for your needs. For instance, stress reduction, muscle relaxation, hormonal balance, sports injuries, post or pre surgery, chronic illness, and addressing system imbalances such as digestive, heart, lungs, allergies/asthma, chronic fatigue, and so on. The addition of essential oils with massage is truly transporting; you leave feeling calm, grounded, centered, euphoric and peaceful.

Raindrop Technique Massage is a treatment where 9 essential oils are dropped like raindrops down the length of the spine, with a deep, soothing massage application. The oils chosen boost the immune system, clear sinus and respiratory congestion, digest excess toxicity and balance every system of the body. Recommended for addressing curvature of the spine (scoliosis), fatigue, chronic conditions, Lymes disease, auto-immune deficiencies, inflammation and pain. I call it a full body tune-up. You receive a deep, full body massage with the Raindrop Technique.

Emotional Release Raindrop: The essential oil blends specific for emotional release are used with the Raindrop Technique style, facilitating a very gentle and safe experience. Essential oils are a powerful tool for releasing past anger, resentment, fear, trauma, etc., making space for the new. Emotional release is the first step towards healing chronic illness.

Aromatherapy Facial: Using only the chemical-free, unadulterated Young Living essential oil products and therapeutic essential oils for regenerating and balancing every skin type. Hot towel steam, skin cleansing, gentle exfoliation (no extractions), serum for skin type, mask, facial massage, toner and final moisturizing cream. Includes neck and shoulders and hands and feet massage. You leave radiant and relaxed!

Neuro Auricular Technique: Focused Stress Buster for the Brain and all its functions! Essential Oil application on the LC (Locus Ceruleus- a nucleus in the brain stem involved with physiological responses to stress and panic. ) and the Vagas nerve at the base of the brain. The Vagus nerve impacts all digestive organs, lungs, heart, eyes, ears, nose and the endocrine system. This protocol connects all the synapses of the brain and upper spinal cord, creating an environment that facilitates optimal health, healing and bodily function.

The benefits of NAT: Dramatic stress reduction and emotional release. Helps the nerve pathways re- establish harmonious flow throughout the body. Addresses neurological conditions, stimulates the immune system, dramatically reduces the inflammatory response. NAT may have a positive impact on clinical depression, panic disorder, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and sleep disorders. May interrupt most stress induced fear circuitry disorders, especially important for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
