Ahna integrates all her experience and modalities to provide a well-rounded and complete massage for each client. (See About Ahna to see training)

"My focus when working with you is for you to be better physically, mentally, and emotionally each time you leave my office. With my training, I focus not just on relaxing the muscles, but also de-stressing the nervous system, aiding the flow of the lymph, blood, and electrical systems, increasing range of motion, and helping the muscles memory and tissue memory rework themselves so that your body functions differently."

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes (fascia) and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Fascia is a three dimensional web of connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a continuous sheath, covering every muscle, bone, organ, every nerve and blood vessel as well as the brain and spinal cord, connecting and supporting the entire structure. It is the fascia that allows everything in the body to slide against each other without friction when you move. However, under stress, trauma, postural problems, inflammation, illness, etc., fascia can become rigid, lose its fluidity and bind itself down to everything it comes in contact with, causing adhesions and restrictions within the body which can result in abnormal pressure on muscles, nerves, organs, blood vessels, and bones.

SER is a therapeutic process that expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind, as well as the body of the residual effects of trauma. Joint research efforts by Dr. John Upledger and biophysicist Dr. Zvi Karni led to the discovery that the body often retains (rather than dissipates) physical forces caused by accidents, injuries, surgeries, emotional traumas, etc.

In addition, our bodies are effected by the emotional response of trauma (for example, the brain chemicals that make up our emotions can literally get caught at the site of physical injury). Our bodies can compensate for trauma amazingly well, but it requires extra energy, and eventually can exhaust the system because the body is only compensating, not correcting the problem. SER works at the core level of the body to clear it so that it functions at a higher level.

Raindrop Therapy is a very powerful therapy that helps relax and straighten the back muscles and spine, as well as helping to align the electrical and nervous systems.

Raindrop Therapy uses nine essential oils, massage oil, a feathering technique to apply the oils to the back and stimulate the nervous and electrical system, and Vita Flex, a specialized reflexology that has it’s roots in ancient Tibet.

You can either bring in your own Young Living Raindrop Therapy oils (they have a prepackaged set, and is the less expensive of the two options), or I can provide all the supplies needed for your appointment.
