Bodywork

Ever since St. Francis apologized for his severe neglect of Brother Body at the end of his life, Franciscans have tried to reintegrate the care of the body into spiritual practice. At the Christine Center bodywork is a special opportunity for ongoing inner growth and development in a holy and nurturing environment.

Bodywork and Energetic Massage
For opening the flow of energy, through the healing of touch, to allow the transpersonal experience of wholeness.

Trigger Point Therapy
Release of muscle tension and energy blockage with deep pressure applied to special focal points of congestion.

Reiki
Still, hands-on therapy for infusion of life-force energy for deeper relaxation.

Myofascial Release
John F. Barnes method of Myofascial Release focuses on deep tissue release of the whole-body Fascial System, employing hands-on, gentle, patient techniques to gradually free layer after layer of blockage and pain.

CranioSacral Therapy
Hands-on, subtle release of the myofascia of the cranium, along with a balancing of the craniosacral fluid rhythm. Very relaxing and gentle.
