BODY INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY SCANS:

Body Thermography Scan with Temp Report-$290

Thermography has been around since the 1970’s. It has been known to be helpful in the diagnosis of many disease processes. Thermography is not a stand alone diagnostic. It is a screening tool that captures physiological temperature changes on the skin level very early and can easily be compared from screening to screening. Thermography assists in capturing arthritis, headaches, spine changes including neck and back, metabolic disorders, nervous system disorders, pain syndromes, fibromyalgia, myositis, repetitive strain injuries, soft tissue injuries, and vascular disorders such as Raynoud’s disease. Thermography is good for any alteration such as a change in blood flow, lymphatic flow, or nervous system flow. It is non-invasive, and can be used to capture decades of information regarding your personal health and wellness.

Annual Body Thermography Scan -$150(no report, images only), with Temp Report(no Breast) $290

Have you been on your health journey for a year? Book your annual scan to see the changes you’ve made, and the areas that may still need some work. If you would like a full report with temps. Please inform us and we will add that service for an additional fee.

Breast & Body Thermography Scan with Temp Report-$400

Looking for an early way to detect physiological changes in your breast without radiation or pain? Thermography is your answer. For example, if we scanned breast tissue we would compare one breast to another. Imagine a butterfly wing. We are simply looking for thermal symmetry from wing to wing or breast to breast. Temperature comparison takes place in several areas of the breast , including nipples and areola. A normal temperature reading would indicate a healthy condition. A wider temperature range would indicate a potential physiological concern. Not all physiological changes mean cancer. There are several reasons for temperature changes. We will discuss with you what is identified in the scan. You will then be given a report which you can discuss in detail with your primary doctor, or medical professional. Breast thermography is for men as well. Breast problems are on the rise for men as well. We all deserve healthy breasts. We will also perform the body thermography scan as well during this time.

Work up a Report from Past Thermography Images – $150

Had an annual thermography, but didn’t have it worked up? This is the service to select. Tell Balancing meridians which date range you would like done and we will work up the report for you. This way you can compare your previous scans to the scan most recently performed.

Yin Turtle WRT Water Release Therapy®-$185

WRT Water Release Therapy® is experienced in a warm pool, body temperature (96-98-degrees).  The warm water assists in profound and deep relaxation for the body;  Calming the entire central nervous system yields magnified healing for the heart, soul, and so much more.  WRT is an incredible modality.  Good for all ages, from birth to your last breath. 

All that is required …  is your own breath, a comfortable bathing suit, good drinking water, and perhaps an open mind ! 

WRT also assists pregnant Mama’s throughout all stages of pregnancy and could assist in turning breech babies.  This is done by supporting the Mama and making an invitation to the baby to gently turn.  The water and the movement alone will often turn the baby without table, land force or manipulation, in other words … no hands needed.

WRT Water Release Therapy® is also used to relax and loosen much needed leg and pelvic muscles for ease of vaginal births regardless of baby direction!  

WRT has been a pinnacle part of my personal healing process as well.  As I reconnect to my love of water through WRT Water Release Therapy®, I feel a deeper connection to the earth, nature, universal energies, and all creatures!  When I was learning WRT … I was told to envision a Yin Turtle. I sank deeply into myself, saw sea turtles in front of me gliding through the water.  No fingers, toes, hands, feet, legs, arms, only gentle flippers!  Henceforth the name Yin Turtle Water Therapy!  Thank you Kim Uerta for the gentle helping fins!!!!

I am also truly blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from Diane Feingold herself.  Diane Created this modality and was present during the early days of Watsu® at Harbin Hot Springs, in Northern California. Watsu® was created by Harold Dull as he brought together ancient healing modalities of Shiatsu and Tantsu from Japan and India and combined them in the warm waters.  Diane shared her WRT Water Release Therapy® modality and received Harold Dull’s abundant blessings to create this amazing and beautiful modality as well as a successful WRT Water Release Therapy® ‘Provider’ path.

INFRARED SUANA THERAPY:

Infrared Sauna

20 Min or 40 Min Sauna Options

Experience our Infrared Sauna Therapy for 20 min or 40 min sessions. Infrared Saunas differ from traditional saunas in that they use infrared radiant energy to directly penetrate into the body’s tissue to produce perspiration. Traditional saunas use steam to heat the air inside the sauna, which then heats your body until you begin to perspire. In order for this to be effective, temperatures would need to reach in the upwards of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrared saunas only need a temperature of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to obtain the same effect. This lower temperature makes the environment more tolerable and allows you to breathe easier. Read more about our sauna.

Robes, towels and wash clothes are available to use. Sauna is right next to bathroom, and you can take a sponge bath in sink if needed, and is suggested after sauna use.
