SERVICES & RATES

RED LIGHT/ NEAR INFRARED THERAPY

Red light can be used to treat a wide range of health conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and slow healing wounds. By stimulating collagen production, low-energy light waves can also decrease the appearance of wrinkles and lines as well as increase hair growth. Less inflammation can translate to less pain.  The ongoing research around photobiomodulation is fascinating and nothing new. QHL is so happy to offer this to clients. If you have a massage scheduled and would like to add 15 minutes of red light therapy before or after your massage, please request it at time of booking or in a text to the office 360-223-8348, as that time is reserved for the massage client and is not bookable online. 

DONATED MASSAGE

Sometimes we know that our body needs support and it isn't in our budget. This can add tremendous stress into already stressful situations. If you know that you desperately need a massage because your nervous system, physical stress or personal circumstances are overwhelming you, and you are not scheduling self-care because it "isn't in your budget", please schedule yourself for a "Donated Massage". A Donated Massage is a service I am making available so that you can get in when you know you will be better for the world if you could reset and unwind with a little bit of bodywork.

A Donated Massage is a 60 min session that has no up-front cost and is on a donation-only basis. There will be a collection box in the treatment room and before or after you session you may choose to make a cash-only donation. The collection box will be checked on the last day of the month, so I will not assign an identity to the contribution. The donation box is also available for open-minded clients who might feel charitible and want to "pay it forward" towards a Donated Massage.

CRANIOSACRAL (SM)

CranioSacral (SM) Therapy is a subtle yet powerful technique that is effective in reducing ongoing symptoms from concussion or brain trauma, releasing back and neck pain, mental stress and in facilitating the release of emotional blockage/ trauma. Different from a visceral massage, it supports wellness by releasing restrictions in the dura mater and resetting the motion of cerebrospinal fluid as it passes through the skull and into the spine. The somatic nervous system is an extension of the brain and by restoring symmetry and amplitude to this system, the body recalibrates itself naturally, as it was intended. 

PEDIATRIC CRANIOSACRAL (SM)

Pediatric CranioSacral is offered as a gentle therapy for infants and children who may have experienced neck or head trauma through C-section, difficult or multiples birth (womb sharing), falls, hits to the head, sports, car accidents, etc. Your child may have experienced a concussion and the long term effects of imbalance may not show up for years. Or perhaps you recognized a mood shift or digestive issues that arose after the event that you may have missed as a possible sign of concussion. 

Your child remains clothed during treatment with a parent or designated guardian in the room. There is no visceral tissue manipulation like a standard massage. Hands are placed on your child at specific regions with a pressure no greater than 10g (~2 nickels). The treatment can be very relaxing, enough to where your child may actually fall asleep. 

Cost is flat fee per session. Session length varies per treatment depending on age and level of cooperation of child. I offer Pediatric CranioSacral at a discounted rate to make this important treatment accessible for families. Some imbalances can take multiple sessions to neutralize, so it is recommended to commit to a minimum of (3) sessions over a period of successive weeks. 

ZEN SHIATSU

Zen Shiatsu is a profound experience.  It recognizes energy meridians as they relate to organ systems. Zen Shiatsu is different from standard massage in that the client wears loose-fitting clothing and treatment is usually performed on a floor mat. The session begins with a "Hara" diagnostic of the energy centers of the abdomen and then energy meridians are tonified with mild stretching and pressure along specific energetic channels along the body.

The treatment ends with a follow-up Hara diagnostic. The technique was developed by Shizuto Masunaga and further explored by Master Ohashi. Kristy trained with Ohashi Institute grad Sande Mullany and at intensives with Master Ohashi. 

Because of the nature of meridian tonification, session times can fluctuate anywhere between 60-80 minutes with an average of 70 so the cost of the treatment is a flat rate for 1 complete Zen Shiatsu session. Wear comfortable clothes without a lot of texture and preferably a long sleeve t-shirt. 

12 HOUSES TAROT READING

The 12 Houses Tarot Reading is a very detailed spread that uses a clarifying card for each of the Astrological Houses to give a full representation of all facets of a person's life from relationship and family dynamics to inheritance and position in the world. For answers to specific questions, consider a Celtic Cross Tarot Reading.

MUSICIAN/ PRODUCTION SUPPORT

Kristy has an extensive background in Seattle as a studio recording engineer, stagehand, backline tech and musician. Because of this she understands the strain on the body that goes along with touring and lengthy studio sessions. 

Kristy can come to your venue with a massage chair or table to support band or crew. She can also help your band get more hours of productivity during tracking sessions by working positional release techniques on hands and forearms to reduce spasms and cramping. Relieving stress helps the flow of creativity.
