Infrared (Far Infrared) Sauna

Far infrared is the longest infrared wavelength and penetrates deep into your body. Far infrared wavelengths result in the greatest levels of detoxification, increases your metabolism aiding in cardiovascular health, improves circulation, relaxes muscles, reduces joint pain, and reduces stress and fatigue. Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air to a high level within the chamber to warm the body. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. Infrared heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally. In an infrared sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the hot air of a traditional steam sauna.

Deep Tissue & Corrective Bodywork reaches deeper layers of muscular and fascial tissue to provide deeper releases & long-lasting relief from negative holding patterns and both acute and chronic tension.

Reflexology is based on the idea that the glands, organs, and body parts are reflected in specific reflex points through the hands, feet, and ears.

What Is Vibroacoustic Therapy?
Vibroacoustic Therapy, or VAT, Sensory Sound Lounge is essentially a deep tissue low-frequency sound massage using audio waves that are being transmitted to the body by embedded transducers in the memory foam table. The sound gently permeates the cells allowing massage from inside as well as out. Because our bodies are approximately 60% water, water transmits sound and vibrations perfectly to our bodies. While meditating or sleeping your body is bathed in soothing sound and relaxing vibroacoustic vibrations.

​Who Can Benefit From VAT?
VAT may be an independent therapy or incorporated with medical treatment and psychotherapy. As a natural energy booster and pain killer that is composed of varieties of frequencies therapy solutions that can be used as a self-management tool, it is beneficial to people with chronic or special needs, and any person with stress that wants to apply preventive and integrative wellness therapy.

VAT has been studied by researchers worldwide including the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH reports the benefits of using VAT for Parkinsonʼs, PTSD, anxiety, physical injuries, brain function, COPD, Asthma and much more.

Regulate the Limbic System (emotional memories)

Activate the Relaxation Response

Reduce anxiety and muscle pain or spasms

Shorten healing periods/increase circulation

How Does VAT Affect the Body
The mechanism of action of VAT is the oscillation of the human nervous system with frequencies and resonance characteristics of various muscle groups. VAT combines these resonance frequencies programs based on experimentally based effects, evaluated by patient reactions. Thousands of research hours have taught us how to use these programs to relax, stimulate and relieve pain.Vibroacoustic Therapy uses low frequencies and therapeutic music delivered through special speakers called transducers. As a person’s body has contact with the embedded speakers, the music is sent from the source into the transducers and then is felt by the body as vibration and heard by the ears as sound. The vibro-tactile input stimulates nerve bundles along the spine, up into the brainstem and then through the limbic system. In addition, the sound stimulates the medulla in the brain stem and activates the auditory nerve that connects with all the muscles of the body. These reactions signal the body to relax and flood the brain with mood-lifting chemicals. In addition, the low frequencies also cause a relaxation of the tissues and a dilation of blood vessels and an opening of the lymphatic pathways which in turn increases the body’s ability to heal.

What Should I Expect at My VAT Visit?
Clients can dress to their comfort level (suggesting wear loose comfortable clothing) remove only their shoes. Once comfortable we will have you lay down on the memory foam table with a weighted or regular blanket.

You will begin to feel the gentle vibrational frequencies through the table and hear the soothing music with or without the headset. We will leave you in the room to enjoy your session for 45-60 minutes. It usually takes about 20 minutes for the relaxation response to begin in the body.

Clients report feeling many pleasant sensations. Abstract thinking slows and body and mind awareness expands. Some people experience a dream-like, or deep meditative state. Others fall asleep, report seeing colors, experience clarity and new insight and feel relief of pain or symptoms.

When the session is over, we will return to the room to gently turn down the vibrational frequencies and music.
