goes beyond the superficial layers of the muscle to pinpoint and unlock challenged areas showing themselves symptomatically as knots, tight bands, or generally achy points in the muscle tissue or fascia. While it is relaxing, this massage goes as deep as the “good hurt” to insure a successful treatment. Often times, this depth of work will facilitate an emotional release for the person receiving. It is the first priority of Hands On Wellness to provide a safe, warm, loving and non-judgmental environment for you to release all your old emotional “baggage” which is no longer serving you.
Originating from the Indian Ayurvedic medical practice, Thai is one of many forms of Oriental hands-on work based on the energy balance theory of health and healing. Although its origins roots date back over 4,000 years, Thai massage is still popular undergoing a renaissance in Thailand today, as interest is booming in the West.
Chinese acupressure is an obvious influence: Thai medical theory is based on the idea that the body’s vital energy flows along channels called “sen” (or “chi”). Blocking this flow results in discomfort, disease, and pain – while opening the flow leads one to feel energetic, relaxed, and free from stiffness and pain. Thai Bodywork focuses on working the ten major sen lines by palming and thumbing along these energy pathways. This releases blockages of energy, increases energy flow, and helps to restore balance – the key to good health.
Thai massage also has a yoga influence that comes from the Indian Ayurvedic medical tradition. This style of bodywork offers a passive way for the client to receive the benefits of yoga: the most profound effects being an opening of tight joints, relief of pain, a lengthening of muscles, and a very deep sense of well-being and relaxation.
The practitioner puts the client’s body into assisted hatha yoga postures, directing the intensity of the stretching and pressure points. This delivers a much deeper result than an individual practicing yoga would be able to achieve. It’s like having yoga done to you, receiving all the benefits without the effort. Movements are flowing and harmonious, creating a deeply soothing yet energizing effect for both the practitioner and client.
Remarkably, Thai practitioners also receive some of the same benefits as clients because of their own yogic body movements. To begin the session, practitioners center their minds with an emphasis on awareness – thus, Thai can also be considered a form of meditation in motion. And during the session, practitioners pay special attention to their own body mechanics and breathing – so at the end of the session, they feel energized and relaxed.
a firm and brisk massage concentrated on bringing new blood and oxygen into the muscles. In this work, specific muscle groups are honed in on and treated and treatments are designed specifically to either prepare and athlete for an upcoming event, or to aid in the recovery of a competition or rigorous training schedule. Just one of the reasons that Massage Therapy has proven so successful in sports is that it reduces the recovery period from daily training and over-training in half!
literally translated, means “finger pressure”. This method targets specific meridian points throughout the body to unlock blocked Chi, (the body’s Life Force). It releases adhesions in the muscles and energetic stagnations as well as it rejuvenates and balances the body.
Quantum-Touch® is the cultivation and sending of Chi or Life Force Energy with healing, loving intention. The practitioner will raise his own energy vibration to an extremely high frequency and not waiver from it. By simply placing his hands on the point of pain, the vibration of the recipient automatically entrains upward to match that of the practitioner’s. From that point forward, the recipient’s own innate healing wisdom takes over and thus the healing process begins. Watch as misaligned bones literally melt back into place on there own! Feel your body readjust to find balance, and pain leave your body with absolutely no physical manipulation on the part of the Bodyworker. Quantum-Touch® extracts the ego from the equation because it is recipient that is doing all of the healing and is, in fact, the “Healer”. The practitioner’s ONE and ONLY job is to raise his vibration, hold the purest intention, and “get out of the way”. Amazing things happen when the body is allowed to make the shifts necessary to heal on its own. As you will see, Quantum-Touch® works outstandingly for addressing and clearing all physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges and will supercharge the work of any other healing modality. It is our goal to see Quantum-Touch® become a household name, so that every family, community, church, school, team, etc. have someone that is able to share hands-on healing energy. We see the healing power of Quantum-Touch® and believe it can change our world.

sacred sound is the purest form of our Soul’s expression. For thousands of years, sound has been considered a golden key to unlock the portal between human beings and Spirit. Sound is the first of our five senses developed…and often the last sense experienced during death. Every culture, and every World religion has, at it’s roots, a form of vocalized prayer, song, chant, mantra…something that gives vibration to the intention. Vibration + Visualization = Healing. Physically, sacred sounds are effective in breaking apart and dispersing both energetic and muscular blockages, lowering blood pressure, and quelling the nervous system. Metaphysically, it can induce altered states of consciousness, heal traumatic scars, stimulate new levels of awareness and intuition, and increase creativity. What makes the sounds Sacred? Quite simply, intention. Intention is everything…almost. Quantum Physics takes care of the rest. Through principles of Resonance, Vibration, and Entrainment, we will attune your body with the richness of vocal tones and Tibetan chimes, and you will drift off to be bathed in sound as Joshua takes you on a journey with the mystical sounds of his Didgeridoo.
