Zen Thai with Rosie
Zen Thai in Rosie’s hands is an exquisite modality, merging Japanese and Thai styles of body work with osteopathy. The treatment unfolds on the floor, and you are offered a chance to hand over your body to the flowing rhythmic dance of stretches, compressions and expansions that Rosie caligraphs into your structure. Physically, it’s wonderful for restoring, detoxifying and re-balancing the body. Emotionally it can facilitate release of stored emotions, stabilize the nervous system, support stress, and hold hands with your well-being.
Zen Thai gestures aren’t necessarily bi-lateral, however they work synergistically to create a cohesive, settled, restored body that’s filled with vitality. Truly there is nothing like Zen Thai and Rosie’s work brings a stellar excellence to bear that leaves her clients emptied out and serene.
Rolfing with Brad
Integrative Bodywork is a process of re-Minding the Body. Rooted in the vision of Ida Rolf, Rolfers seek to help humans transition out of tension and compensation within the gravity field into a sense of ease and empowerment, with gravity on our side. When this happens, pain eases, energy flows, and we even understand ourselves a bit better.
Our session(s) begin with a body-reading as we look for places, new and old, where injuries, surgeries, trauma, poor movement habits have left their mark. Our intention, then, for the next hour and a half is not to “correct” your posture but to bring on line a sense of vitality lying dormant in the soft tissue.
This work is deep, 3-dimensional, and moves only as fast as the tissue changes. Given the goals you have for your body, a series of sessions can be strategized to unwind your patterns systematically, ungluing the puzzle. My goal for a series is to support the integration of your “parts” into a whole—from your ankles to your jaw to your wrist. A series might be 3 or 7 or 10 sessions (for which Rolf’s Recipe holds valuable time-tested results). In a single session however, regardless of being part of a series or not, the potential for positive change is there all the time and layer by layer you may embody yourself more and more.
HerAum with Allassandra
HerAum brings you closer to yourself than you often get to experience on any day of the week due to the surrendering safety of Allassandra’s cleverly crafted bodymind healing work.

Through the process of her years of study and practice Allassandra has found a peaceful centering process that incorporates a synthesis of the varied work she has studied.
This invention makes her sessions more than just relaxing; they are moments of profound unwinding
Just opening through the passage of her handiwork brings a sense of vitality and peace together.
