Therapeutic Integration Services

 

Emmy Vadnais provides Mind, Body & Spirit Therapies that help you relax and heal. Each type of service has its own unique way of assisting you to reach your goals. With her experience and intuition, Emmy will help you decide what service or combination of services could be most effective for you. While massage is healing, there are other services that can facilitate deeper awareness and healing. Emmy often integrates these services in a session along with massage, or they can also be experienced by themselves. Below are the Mind, Body & Spirit Services she offers to you.

 

List of Services

 

Integrative Healing

This is the most comprehensive service. Emmy will assess your energy and provide a personalized healing approach for you. This is Emmy's preferred way of practicing because she receives an intuitive understanding of what your whole being needs. This may include a combination of some or all of the services below.

 

Energy Healing

All of us have energy running through and around our body. It is a virtual physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual blueprint of our being. The anatomy of our energy can be seen on an acupuncture chart. When it is flowing properly we feel at our best. However, our energy can become depleted, blocked or even excessive due to family lineage/DNA, what we eat, our thoughts, emotions, belief patterns, the environment, relationships to ourselves/others, possibly our higher power, and how much or little we "do" in a day. Emmy is able to sense and feel the subtle energy of your body. With her hands and intuition, she is able to assess where your energy may be blocked and help it to flow better, allowing your body to facilitate its natural healing state. She may share and discuss with you images she receives intuitively that can help you to understand yourself more and release blockages. This may help you to feel clearer, lighter, and "more balanced." Many hospitals provide Energy Healing to patients who then use less pain medications, feel less anxious, and recover more quickly from surgery and other procedures.

 

Imagery

Imagery, sometimes known as creative visualization, is a therapeutic process that works with the power of your imagination to help you relax, affect mental attitude positively, or gain a deeper awareness about an emotionally or physically challenging situation in your life. Guided Imagery is listening to a practitioner or audio that is scripted to guide you to the desired outcome. Integrative Imagery takes the therapeutic process to an even deeper level as Emmy helps you bring to mind an image that represents something emotional or physical that you would like deeper understanding about. She helps you to interact with this image by communicating with it to give you insight about how to solve a problem or help you heal. This process rests in the belief that each person has a vast inner well of knowledge and innate intelligence of the body.

 

Types of Integrative Imagery include Special Place to help you relax and activate innate healing within your body, Inner Strength to help you gain confidence about a particular situation, Inner Healer, Inner Guide, or Inner Wisdom to help you receive insight and clarity about an emotional or physical challenge that may elude you, Parts Work to help you to receive clarity about conflicting choices you may be experiencing in your life, or Transforming Pain to help you decrease and cope with pain. Emmy will help identify which type of Imagery would be the most beneficial for you.

 

Reflexology

Reflexology is a form of acupressure to specific pressure points on your feet, hands and ears that improves circulation, creates a relaxation response, and can assist balancing the body's energetic system. Benefits include relaxation, improved circulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells, and it can decrease pain, nausea and anxiety. Research studies have confirmed many medical benefits from reflexology.

 

Meditation and Self Relaxation

Emmy will guide you on how to meditate and self-relax so you are able to experience feeling calm, grounded, and centered on your own. There are many types of meditation, and at its core is the Relaxation Response.

 

The Relaxation Response is a term coined by Herb Benson, M.D. who studied monks who were able to alter their physiology, that is how their body functions, such as lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing, while clearing and calming the mind. The Relaxation Response is the antidote for the Stress Response: worry, feeling anxious, stomach upset, pain, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and decreased immune system.

 

The Relaxation Response can be achieved by using Dr. Benson's guidelines and it can also be elicited with massage therapy, reflexology, energy healing, and imagery, along with other types of Mind, Body & Spirit services. What is nice about learning how to do the Relaxation Response is that it is something you don't need anyone else "to do to you." It is something you can practice on your own anytime, anywhere.

 

Massage Therapy

Emmy offers a therapeutic and relaxing style of massage that blends Swedish, Relaxation, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, Rehabilitation, Aromatherapy, Acupressure, and Reflexology. She may also integrate Imagery or Energy Healing and dialogue with you for a deeper awareness and release of mental, physical or emotional blockages. Pressure will be adjusted to your comfort level allowing tension and worries to melt away as you unwind and sink more deeply into yourself.

 

Emotional Clearing

Emotional Clearing is a body, energetic, and spiritual approach that helps to clear negativity within you. It is based on the book, Emotional Clearing by John Ruskan. During the session we will discuss what it is you would like to address. Then you will sit or lie as you prefer, with your eyes closed while your are guided into a relaxed state. You will be guided on how to connect with your energy, body and spiritual support. You will be guided to connect to your feelings and begin releasing them just by allowing them to be present while witnessing them simultaneously in a peaceful, higher-self witnessing place. Releasing is effected through the deep inner experiencing of the feelings. No outward expression of feelings is required. Negative emotional feelings are a part of being human, but negative patterns can limit us in many ways. It is well accepted that our emotional health effects our overall health, so it is very important to address this aspect of ourselves. During January – March 2008 your first Emotional Clearing Session will be only $50. This service is available in person or on the phone. The benefits of this session can be just as effective on the phone as in person. A binaural headset is recommended for phone sessions. To learn more go to www.emclear.com Emmy also teaches Emotional Clearing group classes. Go to her Classes page for more information.

 

Intuitive Development

Emmy is now sharing a strong passion of hers - Intuition. You are very likely already listening to your Intuition, but may discount it or question when and how to connect with it. Emmy teaches classes and is available for tutoring to help you learn how to tap in to, listen to, and gain confidence with this natural sense we all have, that can help you in all aspects of your life. Visit her website under 'Classes' or contact her for more information.

 

Services are a la carte; meaning you can experience one of them in a given session, or they can be used in combination with each other. You and I will decide what may work best for you.

 

Please consult with your primary health care provider as these services are intended to add to your healthcare and not replace other beneficial approaches.
