Diane Jordan-Godwin C.M.T., C.R.T.,C.H.

Modalities practiced: Spiritual-Energetic Healing, Energy Healing Instruction, Muscular Therapy, Reflexology, Spiritual Hypnosis

Diane graduated from the Muscular Therapy Institute In Cambridge MA, in 1999. Upon graduation she joined the staff at Natural Body Works. Diane then entered a teacher training program at the Muscular Therapy Institute, beginning as a teacher assistant in Massage Technique and practice Development classes. After a year in teacher training she joined the Practice Development team (at MTI), as a Faculty member, instructing classes in Practice Development and supervising students in the Student Therapy Clinic. Diane enjoyed teaching for two years before deciding to focus totally on her practice at Natural Body Works. In 2003 Diane entered the New England Institute of Reflexology and studied the science of Reflexology. One year and one thousand hours of case-study work later Diane became a certified Reflexologist. "I always knew I wanted to study Reflexology. However, I was (and continue to be) amazed at how incredibly effective this work is.

Diane usually treats clients with a variety of symptoms and medical conditions. Every treatment is designed for that particular client based on their history of symptoms and what they present with at the time of treatment. In her massage work, she prefers to focus on the true intent of Muscular Therapy - muscle specific massage designed to find and release holding patterns in the body. Adding Reflexology to the treatment prior to the massage portion relaxes the body so completely that deeper massage techniques are "accepted' by the muscles with greater ease. Diane says, "Most of the treatments I give now are a combination of Reflexology, Muscular Therapy and Spiritual-Energetic Healing (which is my own unique method)".

Diane added Hypnosis to her list of healing modalities in early 2008 after graduating from the South Shore Hypnosis Center in Hingham, MA. "I have long been a client of hypnosis my self and have always found it to be an amazing and very effective. There is so much that an individual can achieve through hypnosis that is simply not possible any other way. I use a Spiritual approach in my Hypnosis which makes it unique and truly remarkable. Most people are very successful with this approach through Hypnosis. Also, Hypnosis is fun and so relaxing - it continues to amaze me and my clients each and every time". I look forward to each treatment as I know the satisfaction of seeing the client progress to greater comfort and health. This work is very gratifying."

Spiritual - Energy Healing

Diane Jordan-Godwin employs the comforting, loving, and wise presence of the Spirit world in all her Energy treatments. At the very beginning of each Reflexology treatment Diane applies techniques which open and clear the bodies' Energy centers (the Chakras). This allows clients to experience the healing and comforting Energy of Spirits Guides, including their own loved ones in Spirit - who will work directly with them through the access points of the Chakras. Also, Diane has been given the wonderful gift of being an open channel for the Energy of all the Angels and Ascended Masters. During Reflexology these amazing and palpable Energies of Love, Peace, Comfort and Protection are channeled into the client's body from the reflex points on the feet - directly into and through the nervous system. The effect is quite transforming. Clients commonly relate that they have never experienced anything like it. Feelings of Peace, Love, incredible relaxation, lightness, joy, hope, well-being, release of pain (emotional and physical) and more are enjoyed. Messages of encouragement and Love from Spirit Guides and deceased loved ones are commonly perceived, seen and/or heard by clients during their sessions.

Spiritual Hypnosis is a truly enlightening experience when paired with Spiritual- Energetic Healing. Through the expansion of the sub-conscious mind/soul (which has access to all Universal knowledge) the individual can connect with their Angels and Guides on a very personal level. Pairing Spiritual-Energetic Healing with Hypnosis, Diane finds that clients develop a deep relationship with their Angels and Guides which they can access at any time to help them in their daily lives. Using Hypnosis, together with the Angels and Guides' ever present ability and desire to assist us, clients find that they heal, release habits, are relieved of pain and fear, find increased joy and Peace, grow and transform their lives with greater ease and comfort. Through the guidance of the Angels and Ascended Masters Diane has developed a particular Hypnosis technique - Chakra Perfection Hypnosis which can be utilized to help clients release troubling feelings and symptoms and receive guidance, Peace and healing on many levels. This Hypnosis can be tailored to just about any issue.

Elaine Bradley C.M.T., C.Y.I. C.S.T

Modalities practiced: Muscular Therapy, Relaxation Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Reiki (Level 2), CranioSacral Therapy and Spa Treatments

Elaine graduated from the Muscular therapy Institute in Cambridge, MA in 1998. This is what she has to say about her work: "As I do massage, I love being "present" and focusing on my clients needs. Many of my clients have neck and shoulder issues, which is a challenge and exciting for me to address. I work to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension and discomfort while increasing the area to a better range of motion. With this focused work I like to add a full body massage, always including the head, face and scalp. My clients are happy, relaxed, and amazed at how much better they feel! This is when I know I've done my best. I love to incorporate the wonderful healing energy of Reiki with massage. The entire body seems to let go of any resistance the muscles and joints may have been holding onto. This positive flow of energy leaves my clients totally relaxed and feeling a balance through out their whole being." "I love to perform the Herbal Mini-facial and Salt Glow with Full Body Massage. These Spa Treatments are my personal favorites as they cleanse the face and body and remove any dead skin cells. This leaves my clients feeling refreshed, relaxed and with skin so soft it lasts for days. This is a wonderful Pamper Package!"

Barbara Barker C.M.T., I.E.T., Reiki Master

Modalities practiced: Kriya Massage, Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy, Stone Massage, Spa Treatments

"I love it when an individual selects me to be part of their healing journey. All bodywork has a profound effect on the client physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Massage will relieve stress, relax muscles, restore balance, and transform virtually every part of the body. Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful hands on modality in which Universal Energy is brought through the hands of the therapist to the client. Blending Reiki and massage together is especially beneficial to the healing process. Reiki gently relaxes the entire body so that the muscles let go of tension with greater ease. Circulation is improved to all of the organs, assisting in pain reduction and taster healing. Massage speeds recovery of soft tissue as it increases blood flow - bringing nutrients to painful areas. Kriya Massage, with its gentle, circular strokes, applied in a superior direction, stimulates the immune system by helping the body to release excess lymph fluid - a common cause of physical discomfort. I often like to blend in special music, short meditations, and specific scents to assist in the healing process. In addition, I teach my clients simple healing practices that they can incorporate into their daily lives. These may include affirmations, the Healing Touch Technique, Heartlinking, or the use of Essential Oils".

STONE MASSAGE

"Stone Massage is the ultimate gift to oneself! I have personally selected all of the stones that I use from local beaches...a place I have loved all my life. The stones are warmed in water and bring the gentle power of the water with them. The warmth of the stones brings a new level of grounded balance, strength, support, and deep relaxation like no other. I infuse the stones with Reiki energy just prior to each treatment, so they are ready, alive and waiting - just for you!"

Janelle Remlinger C.M.T.

Modalities practiced: Muscular Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Spa Treatments

Janelle is a June 2006 graduate of the Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge, MA. As a massage therapist, her goal is "To provide each of my clients with a treatment that addresses and releases any tension or discomfort, be it superficial or deep, which is being held throughout the muscles of the body."

In order for Janelle to reach this goal with each of her clients, her treatments often blend deep Neuromuscular, Myofascial, and Muscular Therapy techniques with lighter Swedish massage techniques. This allows Janelle to release tension in each layer of the muscle and connective tissue worked on, in a subtle, effective, and pain-free manner. You will find that with each treatment you have with Janelle, chronically held tension and pain throughout your body is further diminished. This allows you to achieve an overall increase in your physical, mental, and emotional state of wellbeing.

Janelle's favorite Spa Treatment at Natural Body Works is the Aromatherapy Steam. This is due to the healing properties of the combination of steam and Essential Oils used in this treatment. She finds that a Eucalyptus Steam is particularly effective at relieving her seasonal allergy symptoms and upper respiratory symptoms associated with colds and flu.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Myofascial Release is very effective hands-on technique comprised of sustained pressure being placed into an area of Myofascial restriction and sliding through the tissue until it begins to stretch. Gliding through the restricted tissue in this manner helps to eliminate pain and restore motion that has been lost over time due to injuries, chronic tension, habitually poor postures."

NEUROMUSCULAR MASSAGE

The term "Neuromuscular Massage" also called NMT refers to the style of bodywork that uses constant, focused pressure on a specific area of pain. This pressure applied by the therapist using fingertips, knuckles, elbow, or thumb for up to 30 seconds at a time, until the muscle spasm has been released. This is a very intense technique meant to treat serious pain. Neuromuscular Therapy is very effective at treating pain and stiffness in the low back, and neck, headaches, repetitive motion injuries."

Nancy Thomas CST, RMT

Modalities practiced: CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release Therapies

"My name is Nancy Thomas. I am so very pleased to be able to expand my practice as I join the team at Natural Body Works and bring my skills in the field of CranioSacral Therapy and healing modalities to the Kingston area.

I have trained extensively in CranioSacral Therapy, Somato Emotional Release Therapy and Healing from the Core with the Upledger Institute. I have also trained with the Reiki Healing Connection, earning a Master of Masters level in Reiki, with the Bach International Education Foundation in the use of Flower Essences, and with Continuum Movement Medicine.

This journey in providing healing began with my first level of Reiki in 2003 and progressed to the more advanced levels of Reiki in 2004, and then to my introduction in the CranioSacral Therapy system. Since that time, I have continued to access more advanced levels of both Reiki and CranioSacral Therapy as I recognized the unique benefits these healing modalities have in the treatment of such a wide array of chronic and acute issues.

I continue to study with the Upledger Institute, as a student and a Teacher Assistant, both of which broaden my skills in this field. Additionally, my teaching extends to Reiki attunements up to Master Level. Helping to create more healers is a very rewarding component of my practice.

My training in Healing from the Core and Continuum Movement Medicine adds yet another dimension to my work in dealing with chronic issues, sports injuries and pain relief. The variety of hand positions and breath sounds and techniques associated with these modalities communicate with the fluid system within the tissues of the body. These approaches are a valuable complement to CranioSacral Therapy and Reiki in the recovery and healing of the nervous system by unlocking and releasing stored trauma on all levels: physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Generally, my treatments are a combination of all the modalities I have studied and I look forward to sharing these gifts with the clientele here at Natural Body Works."

Mona Ceurvels H.B.C.E., C.H., R.M.T., C.Y.I.

Modalities practiced: Hypnosis, Yoga Instruction for all Ages, Reiki, Animal Reiki, Dowsing, HypnoBirthing® The Mongan Method

Mona Ceurvels is a certified Consulting Hypnotist, member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc., Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Yoga Instructor and a Black Belt in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do.

Over years of practice and study, she has come to know the myriad benefits of holistic healing arts from yoga to energy clearing, from breath-work to hypnosis. Her firsthand experience with challenging life transitions has led to a compassionate dedication to helping others overcome obstacles that hold them back. From smoking addiction to questions of self- confidence, she has seen the empowering changes holistic modalities bring.

Yoga connects mind, body & spirit and provides strength and flexibility. Meditation & Mudras (ancient yogic hand symbols used in meditation) help connect the human self with the spiritual or "true" self. Dowsing locates blocks in the energy system and clears them. Hypnosis breaks unwanted patterns or habits.

Mona's love for the martial arts earned her a black belt in Tae Kwon Do in 1999.

"Not only are martial arts fantastic for your body & mind, but I believe that everyone should know how to protect themselves and have a full understanding of the power of their own body."

Her years of martial arts training led her to explore the ancient art of yoga and she was hooked. So hooked in fact, she became a Certified Instructor in 2003. As part of her yoga training, Mona learned how diaphragmatic breathing techniques infuse the body with renewed energy sending fresh, oxygenated blood to all the muscles.

There is nothing more rewarding than getting into a yoga asana you've been working towards with poise and pride. To have control over your body in the postures is a fabulous feeling.

As life often does, one modality paves the path to another and Mona next began a search to learn more about how energy fields affect the physical body. Mona was guided to study the powerful healing techniques of Reiki, and achieved her master/teacher level in 2006. And because animals are some of her favorite people....she has utilized this modality to it's fullest by offering her Reiki training to those with fur & feathers.........but Mona didn't stop there.

While applying all the concepts she learned, Mona continued to add modalities to her healing toolbox, including Tong Ren, Hypnosis and Dowsing.

Her dowsing work aids in clearing chakras & meridians (major energy centers in the body) to move or clear Chi (energy) from blocked or stagnant areas so that the energy can move freely throughout the body. The procedure creates homeostasis, calming and centering the mind, body & spirit.

While she understands the benefit of and is skilled in many modalities, Mona has seen astounding changes with Hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and a direct way to reach the subconscious mind where all unwanted habit patterns exist. It is in this aware state that desired changes in behavior encourage mental and physical well-being.

"I have seen major changes in people and major transformation in personalities with Hypnosis. I believe permanent changes happen because clients do the work themselves. We are each responsible for our own success and when we make a commitment to ourselves, we can make our lives extraordinary.

People under Hypnosis NEVER lose control...no matter what you have concluded from watching a stage Hypnosis show....they do not tell secrets and they always come out of Hypnosis feeling calm and rested.

"I love working with holistic wellness centers because I believe a supportive environment, where various healing modalities are offered, is essential to a client's success."
