Marianne Reis

Marianne draws upon craniosacral therapy, positional release, Shiatsu, reflexology and therapeutic massage to help address a wide variety of concerns. These modalities, along with guided breathwork, help relieve muscular tension, increase circulation, ease discomfort, and assist in injury recovery.

An additional approach in facilitating bodymindspirit awareness is through metaphor. She teaches this simple, metaphysical technique which has wide applications. Overall, these techniques are offered in a gentle manner, respecting the intelligence of your whole being.

Pregnancy is a time of seismic change in a person’s being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Specialized massage during pregnancy eases the physical strain on the body, helps support mental clarity, helps decrease stress and anxiety.

Essentially, massage helps a person navigate the stages of pregnancy with research supporting better parent and infant outcomes. Truly the bodymindspirit is inextricably connected, so that when one aspect is touched, so are the others. Sessions may include such modalities as muscle energy technique, positional release, myofascial release, and reflexology.

This energy technique is used on the feet and hands and is based on the principle that the entire body is mapped on these surfaces. Reflexology, therefore, focuses on points or zones which in turn influences individual glands, nerves, muscles and organs.

This work helps to unbind or ease blockages in the body’s energy flow. Greater wellness and health is experienced when energy in the meridians or reflex points is more freely flowing. Health and wellness is a vastly intricate dance; reflexology is part of the choreography.
