Each basic floral treats one different set of emotions, and they can be combined to treat feelings like fear, intolerance, instability, selfishness, jealousy, impatience, lack of confidence, exhaustion, self-denial, and many others that can afflict our lives.

Sports Massage is a therapeutic treatment for those active individuals who regularly work out and/or participate in athletic activities such as (but not limited to) running, tennis, and soccer. A good deep tissue massage will bring relief to muscles in pain and help prevent injury as well as facilitate healing of sustained injuries that may or may not have resulted in surgery
Reflexology treats the body by applying thumb and finger pressure to areas known as reflex zones that when pressed, dictate reduction of pain, fatigue and stress, in corresponding areas of the body. Although usually applied to the feet, there are systems that involve whole body reflex points. Reflexology works well with aromatherapy, essential oils and Dr. Bach Florals.
