Therapist performing Himalayan Salt Stone Massage at A Touch of Serenity Spa in Alexandria, VA – a therapeutic massage using heated Himalayan salt stones to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote relaxation

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

Himalayan salt stone massage uses heated mineral Himalayan salt stones. Differing from a traditional basalt hot stone massage, Himalayan stones naturally help in balancing the body's ion levels. Once heated, these stones emit negative ions which deliver an array of positive health benefits including but not limited to; decreased inflammation, improved circulation, a reduction of anxiety, and an improved sense of well-being and relaxation. Additionally, Himalayan stones are made of pure Himalayan salt which provide the added benefit of replenishing and nourishing your skin and body with over 80 minerals. The texture of these stones also lightly exfoliate the skin for a softer and smoother feeling. Other benefits of Himalayan salt stone massage may include prevention of muscle cramps, lowered blood pressure, balanced nervous system, improved sleep, relief of muscle pain and soreness, and boosted immunity.

Therapist performing Myofascial Release Massage at A Touch of Serenity Spa in Alexandria, VA – a therapeutic technique that targets fascia to relieve tension, improve mobility, and enhance posture

Myofascial Release Massage

Myofascial Release, founded by John F. Barnes, is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on releasing the restricted tension of the fascia. Fascia is the continuous layer of connective tissue that surrounds all of the muscles and organs within the entire body. Myofascial release includes gentle to intense techniques that involve slow, sustained, and direct contact with the skin while using little to no lotion or oil. The intentional release of stagnant and restricted fascia can improve pain, posture, and mobility.

Myofascial Release sessions can be scheduled with Tim and Viviane

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

General Lymphatic Drainage Massage: 

A general Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) consists of specific light skin-stretching techniques to manually stimulate and promote fluid movement through the Lymphatic System. This form of lymphatic massage is for non-postsurgical clients. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is effective for pain relief, general detoxification, preventative treatments, and reduction of swelling.  

Pre-Op Lymphatic Drainage massage:

Preoperative lymphatic drainage massage is best in prepping your body for surgery. This type of massage can help eliminate excess toxins within your tissues which can promote cleaner incisions for a better recovery. Please consult with your doctor or physician for the ideal time to schedule this service prior to your procedure.

 

Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage massage: 

Post Operative Lymphatic Drainage Massage is ideal for after a liposuction procedure or any other surgery there may generate an excess of fluid that your lymphatic system cannot easily handle. This service is done at least 1 week post-op (or at the suggested timing of your doctor) to assist in your healing and recovery. Lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce inflammation, promote circulation, and maintain flexibility. It also helps to reduce or prevent fibrosis or scar tissue. Please note: All incisions must be closed. No Drains.

Lymphatic Drainage Sessions may be scheduled with Naomi, Viviane, and Kelsey

Reiki healing session at A Touch of Serenity Spa in Alexandria, VA, performed by a practitioner using palm healing to reduce stress, balance energy, and promote emotional and physical healing

Reiki

Reiki (ray-kee) is both a holistic healing practice and spiritual path developed in early 20th century Japan. Similar to the subtle flow of Prana in a Yoga class or Qi/Chi in the course of a Qigong or Tai Chi practice, Reiki is vital energy that balances our body and mind. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the client in order to stimulate emotional or physical healing.

By allowing the healing energy to flow freely throughout the body, Reiki is believed to help resolve emotional distress and energy blockages. Improving the body’s energetic alignment may result in relaxation through a reduction of stress and anxiety, an improved sense of well-being, and a decrease of pain and tension throughout the body.

Our Reiki sessions are currently offered as stand-alone Reiki sessions OR as a Reiki+Massage infusion sessions. All of our Reiki sessions include complementary sound healing (if desired).

 

What is sound healing?

Sound healing is the use of specialized frequency tuned instruments that create tones and other sonic vibrations to balance and heal the body, mind, and spirit.
