Carolina is an ARCB 200-hour certified reflexologist who has been practicing since 2001. She studied under the direction of Vera Krijin in New York City and has since been treating clients in Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego.

Reflexology is an ancient science working on the principle that there are reflex points and areas on the feet that correspond to all the organs and parts of the body. By applying specific pressure techniques to those reflexes, you can create homeostasis in the body.

What you can expect...

Sit back and relax in an ergonomic La Fuma recliner with your shoes & socks removed. The feet are treated twice, once for general stimulation followed by the stimulation of specific reflex points. Seven basic techniques are used to stimulate the reflex points, which are located on the tops, bottoms & sides of the feet. These include thumb-walking, finger-walking, thumb hook & back up, rotating on a point, flexing on a point, pivoting on a point and finger rolling. All of these techniques entail using the fingers & thumbs with varying degrees of pressure as well as gentle manipulation of the foot. Each session lasts 60 minutes & treats a multitude of conditions.  [Top]

Swedish Massage:  Also know as “traditional massage” includes specific strokes, kneading, gliding, tapping, gentle pressure and friction techniques used in combination with passive joint manipulation to release muscle tension. Swedish promotes relaxation, range of motion, improved blood circulation, while reducing muscle tension, swelling, and fatigue. Swedish massage creates a positive healing effect by promoting health and wellness through a healing touch.

Deep Tissue Massage:  Not meant to be a relaxing massage and not to be confused with a Swedigh Massage which uses more pressure, Deep Tissue Massage is meant to deliver specific clinical work on 2 or 3 areas of the body. It is a faster paced massage, spending more time warming up the muscles so they are more pliable and easier to work on. Once warmed enough, the muscles can be worked on with harder friction and pinning the muscles and stretching it in order to break up adhesions. Loosening the fibers this way at the bone attachments as well as on the belly of the muscle will improve circulation and lymph flow, bringing healing to the area. It is common to walk away with soreness at first, but eventually, aftera couple of days, the body will be able to heal itself more quickly because of the treatment.

Sports Massage:  This massage is therapy applied in the context of athletic training and competition to meet the specific goals and needs of the athlete. This pre or post event massage helps the athlete recover from training exercises and competition quickly. Warming and relaxing the muscles before or after a sporting event prevents the onset of injuries by enhancing additional blood circlulation and lymph flow (the body's immune system). It speeds the healing process and reducies soreness, cramping, and muscle spasms. Most importantly, Sports Massage optimizes range of motion and flexiblity to achieved the end result of optimal performance.

Pregnancy Massage:  Pregnancy massage facilitates the woman's body for the strong demand that pregnancy places on her whole being. This massage allows time for the body to be nurtured and pampered. Pregnancy massage relieves tensions and aches caused by the body’s adjustment and shift in the center of gravity resulting from the pregnancy. Through effleurage, rocking and assorted massage techniques the massage brings the mother and child much needed relief by reducing swelling, soothing the nervous system, reducing fatigue, and enhancing her energy.

Hot & Cold Stone Therapy:  Hot Stones are used to relieve tension and soreness by inducing muscle relaxation. Cold Stones are used in aiding therapeutic relief to the muscles by shocking the nervous system to help heal sore muscles. The combined use of both Hot & Cold Stones maximizes thereaputic and relaxation benefits for a unique whole body treatment.  [Top]
