Holistic Menopause Balancing

Menopause in the Red Tent...

The Celts said that a post-menopausal woman was wise because she now kept the precious blood within her--we speculate that a post-menopausal woman is wise because she has menstruated for thirty or forty years, and during that time she was the gatherer of wisdom. Now, having gathered it in, she sits on it and lets it build, fortified by the experience of her lifetime.

The current obsession with staving off menopause through the use of hormone replacement therapy misses the point that there is an inherent value in ceasing to menstruate.

The Red Tent has gathered together many of the most effective holistic therapies to ease this natural transition, heal your body, mind and soothe your spirit. A unique recipe for health can ease all that ails you.

Massage Therapy for Women

The power of touch goes much deeper than the physical body; touch has the ability to facilitate change on the emotional, energetic and spiritual level as well. As a massage therapist, I have noticed how emotional stresses manifest in the physical body. It has been my goal to help people find the link between their mind, body, and spiritual path.

Chakra Balancing Massage

This session is ideal when one is feeling ungrounded from travel, upheaval and unexpected occurrences in ones life. Essential oils have been blended based on my research into aromas that balance the energy centers of the body called chakras. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel. The result of this experience is a calmer, clearer state of being... a sense of peace.

Herbal Consultations

I have been working with plants for ten years. I am still amazed how these gifts nourish, support and move people into a deeper state of health. With almost twenty years experience as a massage therapist and body-worker, I am knowledgeable with allopathic science and I am able to translate this language for clients so that they may gain a greater understanding of their process. I work directly with psychotherapists and acupuncturists and often refer to other professionals as well.

The initial session last 1.5 hours and include a full intake of past medical history and assess the relevance of emotional issues from the past as well as the present. I combine the knowledge I have gained as a body worker, my years studying the chakra system, meditation techniques, yoga, dance, Pilates and Gyrotonics, with my understanding of the human body to offer a very accurate method of working in an intuitive manner.

As an herbalist, I do not diagnose nor prescribe. I provide information to assist you in making healthier choices for your diet and lifestyle. I educate you about the use of herbal teas and tinctures, and supplements. I support the Chinese medical system’s belief that the goal of a healer is obsolescence. The less we need to work together, the stronger and clearer is my practice. I work with acute as well as chronic situations, children, teens, adults and elders. After the initial session I see clients monthly (more if needed) for three to four months until the desired results have established their patterns.

Dream Work

Working on dreams gifts one with valuable messages originating at your soul level. This work utilizes the techniques developed by Carl Jung and Jeremy Taylor. It is also reflective of Joseph Campbell’s mythological scholarship. Deep listening to this dimension of our being enables you to receive the guidance always present in the universe, if one learns how to listen….

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is the prenatal use of massage therapy to support the physiologic, structural, and emotional well being of both mother and fetus. Massage during pregnancy can give much-needed nurturance and stress reduction during this special time.

Maya Abdominal Therapies for Women's Health

Maya Abdominal Therapy is a bodywork technique addressing the position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs, targeting symptoms such as painful or irregular menstruation, low backache, infertility, endometriosis, PMS, difficult menopause and displaced uterus.

Developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo after more than three decades of research and study, Mayan Abdominal Therapy is a non-invasive, external therapy method that guides the digestive and reproductive organs back into their proper positions. This releases physical and emotional congestion, improves the function of the organs, and significantly enhances overall health and well-being. Mayan Abdominal Therpay helps relieve many pelvic and abdominal conditions typically treated by drugs or surgery.

The womb is a sentient organ, storing memories. Normal wear and tear, surgeries, as well as traumatic events can affect the integrity of the uterine ligaments and the precious cargo within. All types of female complaints can stem from a womb out of sync with her environment. By returning a wandering womb to her optimal anatomical home, tremendous relief is often experienced. Blood, lymph and chi circulation are restored, and your body does the rest! So simple and effective!
