Yoga & Tai Chi Instruction

I offer group, semi-private (most economical/2 students split individual fee) & individual Yoga & Tai Chi instruction. Currently, I offer classes at the Apex Senior Center for ages 55+,  residents of SearStone Retirement Community and at Cary Yoga Collective in Lochmere Pavilion for adults. Individual lessons are held at your home and are based on your specific needs including a written plan. Yoga balances body, mind & spirit. Benefits include reduction in back pain, enhances sleep, reduces anxiety and depression, aids in weight loss, strengthens muscles, improves flexibility and range of motion, improves concentration and gives a sense of peace and overall wellness.

Tai Chi is a martial art that utilizes gentle, flowing movements to enhance health in the mind & body. Benefits include improvement in balance, posture and functional mobility preventing falls as we age. Immune function, sleep cycle, brain & cognitive function, self-esteem and quality of life are also positively impacted. It's an alternative gentle exercise that is doable for the long term. It's also wonderful for calming the nervous system; thus lowering stress & anxiety.

Bellanina Facelift Massage

All natural, the Bellanina Facelift Massage is the premier, non-invasive technique for lifting and toning your face. Through a series of acupressure and massage strokes, the vitality of the face is improved, energy is released and muscles are stimulated. We use luxurious aroma therapeutic oils and our signature invigorating Honeylift Massage Lotion along with the finest natural bio-extracts to moisturize, feed and nourish the skin. The 75 minute session also includes massage to hands, feet, neck and shoulders.

Integrative Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression. The approach I use is from my training/certification with Claire Marie Miller, LMBT.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Energy Work/Healing Touch

Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow. I am certified in Healing Touch Therapy (5 levels)  which is endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses' Association.

Cancer/Oncology Massage

Oncology Massage is a special type of massage developed specifically for cancer patients. Cancer patients have unique needs which must be addressed to make sure that a massage is beneficial to their health. I focus my attention on creating a gentle, nurturing environment for you to relax into.

Comfort Touch: Nurturing Acupressure

Comfort Touch is an approach to massage that gives special consideration to the physical and emotional needs of the elderly and the ill. Its primary intention is to provide comfort through techniques that promote deep relaxation and relief from pain. This healing session can be done seated or lying on a massage table. I can also come to your home and work with you lying on your bed or sitting in a recliner. This is a safe modality for those in hospice care, hospitals, long-term care and home care.
