3. Cranio-Sacral Therapy
During the course of our lives our bodies become patterned and conditioned by how we respond to events such as: physical injuries, emotional stresses and chronic toxicity. If these stressors become memorized by the body, they act like recording tape which may keep replaying whenever re-stimulated. The emphasis in Craniosacral Therapy is to allow conscious breathing and direction of energy into the held forces that underlie and govern patterns of tension in both body and mind. This involves listening to the body's subtle rhythms and any patterns of inertia or congestion.The intention of treatment is to enhance the body's own self-healing and self-regulating capabilities.

4. Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of soft tissue. It aims to de-stress chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on contracted areas within the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia. When muscles are stressed they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to built up toxins and eventual inflammation in muscle tissue and joints. The purpose is to manually "unstick" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

5. Healing Stone Massage
Healing Stone Massage is an ancient massage modality, utilizing principles of heat therapy, earth medicine and massage for energy regulation and restoration.
The direct sustained application of warm moist heat produces venous dilation, increased circulation, and local sauna, resulting in reduction of muscle tension and enhanced cleansing.
Carollanne (author and originator of HSM) uses heated metamorphic stones with her organic stone massage body butter in a flowing massage over tight muscles, congested areas and stiff joints. Finally, a cooling moonstone facial may be added as a refreshing completion to the stone massage session.

The abhyanga has a rhythm and flow that covers the entire body. Organic herbalized SOLAVEDI oils are used as needed for individual imbalances.

17.Integrative Ayurvedic Astrological
Health Education
Pulse assessment is a fundamental art of Ayurvedic health education that gives information about constitution and current state of being. Carollanne listens to the pulses of your Dhatus (Ayurvedic building block), the Sub-Doshas, and the subtle cellular pulses of Ojas, Tejas and Prana for your qualitative and quantitative strengths and imbalances.
Your astrological Birth Chart is a representation of your Spiritual, Mental and Physical bodies and it shows your body and overall constitution. The inherent strength of the planets is measured and considered along with weakness in specific dhatu. Often the weakest Planet(s) will be the harbinger of disease tendency or constitutional vulnerabilities. The Sign and House placement in combination with the dasa and transit periods may signal the onset of challenges and opportunities for growth in varying areas of your health or life.
Carollanne's Integrative Ayurvedic Astrological Health Education combines
Pulse evaluation with intuitive and skillful astrology chart interpretation, offering deeply restorative yogas, nourishing mantras, body therapies, herbal education and referrals to appropriate practitioners as indicated.
