PHOENIX RISING YOGA THERAPY - This therapy involves a fusion of hatha yoga, bodywork and psychotherapy. It is holistic art based on the ancient science of yoga, combining elements of contemporary body/mind psychology with assisted yoga postures. It is totally a client-centered process and it establishes inner balance by awakening the healing life force within.
PHYSIOHELANICS - Energy work practiced as an adjunct to other modalities, Physiohelanics uses the body's own energy systems to enhance healing. Treatment begins with cleansing, balancing and repairing the etheric energy field that surrounds the body and is followed by treatment focusing on connecting major and minor energy points (chakras) in the body. Touch from the practitioner is very light and usually targeted toward areas that require cleansing and clearing. Throughout the 35-40 minute session, the healer channels energy rather than using her own. Physiohelanics was developed by C. Diane Ealy.
PHYTOTHERAPY - This technique utilizes massage, mud packs, wraps, baths, water and steam therapies, and/or inhalation treatments using natural herbs and floral extracts, plant oils and seaweeds.
PJM/TREPIDATIONS - Kinesthetic work where the client is moved slowly by the therapist allowing for deep relaxation and alpha states and awareness of the body from the inside out. Trepidations mean a gentle rocking of the body. Rediscover that you are a fluid being, a child of the ocean , a spiritual being having a human experience. Wear loose comfortable clothing.
PFRIMMER DEEP MUSCLE THERAPY - Developed by Therese Pfrimmer of Canada in 1940's as a result of her battle with paralysis.  Pfrimmer therapy is detailed cross fiber friction that stimulates circulation and regenerates the lymphatic flow.
POINT HOLDING - This acupressure technique requires several practitioners to apply pressure to specific acupoints for up to two hours in order to remove blockage and stimulate emotional release within the meridians. The technique was developed by Karen Peterson and John Walsh.
POLARITY THERAPY -
Developed by Dr. Randolph Stone, polarity focuses on the energy currents that exist in all life. The polarity therapist uses her hands as conductors of energy. The intention is to balance the electromagnetic energy in the body, toward the ultimate goal of uniting the body, emotions, mind and soul. Polarity is commonly taught in massage schools, but programs also exist to teach polarity that has no connection to massage schools. Although many massage schools offer an introduction to polarity as part of their training, few offer a substantial amount of training.
POSITIONAL RELEASE THERAPY - Positioning the body in neutral positions.
POSTURAL INTEGRATION - Postural integration and energetic integration were developed by Jack Painter in the late 1960s and have spread to Western Europe, Canada, Mexico and Australia. These approaches focus on the unity of tissue, feeling and awareness. Breathwork, deep fascia manipulation, emotional expression and meditation are used in a unique synchronicity. Both are similar methods, but postural integration focuses on systematic work with layers of fascia, while energetic integration focuses on melting bands of body character armor. The client will experience not only extraordinary energy releases and tangible changes in body shape and flexibility, but also major shifts in awareness and feeling. The training to become a practitioner is approximately 600 hours of practical and theoretical study over several phases in centers throughout the world.
PRANIC HEALING - Pranic Healing is a new science of bioenergetic healing. Developed in the Philippines by Master Choa Kok Sui, it is a practical, easy-to-learn and highly effective healing art using prana, a vital life force, to correct energetic imbalances underlying most physical, psychological and psychospiritual ailments. Pranic Healers are trained to use their hands to accurately evaluate the energetic condition of the aura, 11 major chakras and corresponding minor and mini chakras. Healers then seal holes and cracks, clean out devitalized energy and energize with fresh prana. Advanced practitioners are trained to deliver healing down to the cellular level. Removing devitalized energy before energizing makes healing more efficient and helps clients avoid "healing crises." All work is done off the body and sessions are painless. Pranic Healing can be performed on its own or as a complementary therapy to modern medicine and other healing modalities. Different levels of training are offered. Basic Pranic Healing teaches seven fundamental techniques to heal simple and moderate illnesses. Advanced Pranic Healing specializes in healing severe ailments, and teaching the correct proportion, sequence, combination and use of colored pranas. Pranic Psychotherapy focuses on the healing of mental and emotional disorders, and working with the root and web of chakras to disintegrate and transmute negative psychic energies. It took 20 years of scientific experimentation and research to develop Pranic Healing that synthesizes the best techniques of the Tibetan, Chinese, India and Filipino healing systems. It is known internationally and is practiced in more than 30 countries. Master Choa Kok Sui has authored Pranic Healing, Advanced Pranic Healing, Pranic Psychotherapy and Pranic Crystal Healing, which have been translated into 21 languages.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE (PRENATAL MASSAGE) - Performed by a trained perinatal specialist, many methods of massage and somatic therapies are both effective and safe prenatally, and during labor and postpartum periods of women's pregnancies.

In the postpartum period, specialized techniques rebalance structure, physiology and emotions of the new mother, and may help her to bond with and care for her infant. Specialized, advanced training in the anatomy, physiology, complications, precautions and contraindications is highly recommended, and many practitioners require referrals from physicians prior to therapy.
