Massage in Naples


A Client's recent Question:

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch massage approach that can support dramatic improvements in the quality of your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. The intent of this form of massage is to listen to the Cranial Rhythm and help the nervous system to relax and self-correct. Because Craniosacral is so gentle, it may be used with infants, seniors, people of all ages.

Craniosacral Therapy as used at Lighten Therapies is based on the foundation of Dr. John Upledger's DO's work. Dr. John was a pioneer who brought this type of massage and manual therapy to a greater range of people who have studied and fine tuned their skills with various levels of training and experience. Check www.Upledger.com for a practitioner in your area.

Massage Naples: Rosemary Oil Benefits


At Lighten Up Therapies in Naples, Florida, we like to offer a unique approach to massage that is based on the needs of each client.  One of the ways we do that is to use essential oils upon request to support the health and wellbeing of the people who put their trust into our hands.  One oil that has superb benefits that is beneficial is Rosemary Essential OIl.

I often like to combine Rosemary into a base oil when clients describe indigestion issues.  The oil has been known to calm indigestion, flatulence and cramps.  As a skin care supplement, I include Rosemary for toning and to balance skin that shows symptoms of acne.  Rosemary has also been used to remedy muscular strains, arthritis, memory loss, headaches and in cooking.  It's many healing properties and wonderful flavor make this essential oil a plus to have in the home.
Request an aromatherapy session to enhance your next massage.
