Give Yourself a Gift of Health

Annie Henderson, LMT

If you are ready to commit to your own optimum health and well-being, having a Massage, Spinal Touch Alignment or Reiki Session is an excellent way to treat yourself to a gift of health! Whether your goal is to simply unwind or you wish to address a more serious problem, I can work with you to achieve your health goals.

I specialize in Massage Therapy, Spinal Touch Treatment & Reiki.

Spinal Touch Treatment…What is this little known, very gentle, yet extremely powerful treatment? Spinal Touch Treatment is a soft tissue, non-force, energetic “body mechanics” alignment that corrects postural distortion. I have used this modality, developed in the 1920’s by a chiropractor that also was a structural engineer, with astounding results. It has proven to be most effective in overcoming stress that has gone beyond the body’s elastic limits. Distortion left uncorrected leads to exhaustion and disease. Spinal Touch improves physiological balance, health and well-being. It is a thirty minute procedure that is a powerfully restorative force that can set the body’s own healing abilities into motion. Each time I utilize the technique I am awed at the body’s ability to heal itself!

Swedish/Circulatory Massage uses strokes that are light to medium pressure.

Deep Tissue Massage integrates firm pressure to “work out the kinks” and uses vigorous strokes and specific stretches to loosen up tight muscles. Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage are helpful in the prevention of injuries, rehabilitation and flexibility. Massage treats arthritis, back pain, headaches, TMJ, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, insomnia, depression and more. Massage reduces stress and anxiety, increasing blood circulation, lymph function and oxygen levels while creating a mental awareness of your body’s needs.

Desert Stone Massage uses the warmth of smooth, flat, heated stones to literally melt the stress away. As the stones are placed upon your body, you feel the heat penetrate deep into your muscles. The stones are then incorporated into your massage for a sensation not likely to be forgotten soon.

Reiki is a hands-on healing art of channeling Universal Life Force Energy. It is peaceful, soothing, quiet and relaxing. It creates a change of awareness and enables your body to balance its energy and promotes self-healing. I offer full body sessions or can integrate Reiki into Massage and Spinal Touch sessions.

Allow Aromatherapy to enhance your session through scent. I use pure essential oils that have penetrating effects not only on the topical area, but on internal organs as well. Just a few drops applied to the feet can travel throughout the entire body to the desired spot to calm, balance and rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.

Reflexology relieves tension that builds up in areas of our body such as the feet, hands, scalp, or shoulders. Stimulating reflexology points sends positive energy flowing through the body promoting the body’s ability to heal itself.

“Spinal Touch is a wonderfully relaxing way to align your neck and back. It really makes a difference, after experiencing a Spinal Touch I always feel rejunivated and full of energy again."
Sherry Atwood

“My Spinal Touch Treatment with Annie was a subtle but deeply relaxing method of relaxing tension I didn’t even realize I was carrying until it was gone. A supple spine is worth it’s weight in gold!
