Coming Soon! Open Gym Crystal Singing Bowl Healing Sessions at Small Town PT in Willow Springs! 15$ per participant, 1 hour session.

I have attained my level I and level II Sound Healing Certification.

Crystal bowl sound healing offers significant short-term psychological and physiological benefits, primarily for stress and anxiety reduction. Research, including studies cited in the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) database, suggests these benefits stem from the ability of the bowls' pure sonic frequencies and vibrations to induce a deep relaxation response by modulating brainwave activity and the autonomic nervous system.
Specifically, a 2016 observational study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that a single session of sound meditation using singing bowls (including crystal bowls) significantly reduced self-reported tension, anxiety, and depressed mood in participants. Physiologically, other NIH-indexed studies have observed that these sound interventions lead to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, along with beneficial shifts in brain activity, such as increased theta waves (associated with meditative states) and decreased high-frequency beta and gamma waves (associated with alertness and cognitive processing).

Crystal bowl
sound healing demonstrates potential for pain management, primarily through its powerful relaxation effects and ability to influence the nervous system. NIH-indexed research indicates a complex relationship: while some studies show significant short-term reductions in pain intensity, larger systematic reviews caution that the overall evidence base is still developing.

Short-Term Pain Reduction: A 2016 observational study found that a single sound meditation session using singing bowls resulted in a significant reduction in self-reported physical pain scores. Similarly, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving patients with chronic, non-specific spinal pain observed that, compared to a control group receiving no treatment, singing bowl therapy could significantly reduce pain intensity.

Physiological Mechanisms: The pain-relieving effects are believed to be linked to the physiological changes induced by the sound vibrations, such as the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps lower stress hormones and promotes a relaxed state. Research on the underlying neural mechanisms, including a 2022 NIH study using mice, confirmed that specific sound frequencies can physically blunt pain signals by lowering activity in the brain's auditory cortex pathways that connect to the thalamus.

Have you heard about PEMF? Now offering PEMF and Far Infrared Therapy 1 hour sessions for 55$ call or text 4172604242 to schedule!

PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level electromagnetic pulses to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It works by generating an electrical field that enhances cellular processes like bone formation, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation, making it useful for conditions such as osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and slow-healing fractures.

How it works

Cellular stimulation:
PEMF generates an electrical charge that influences ion movement within cells, which can stimulate bone growth, protein synthesis, and cell proliferation.

Improved healing:
The process leads to faster tissue healing, especially in areas with poor blood flow, and has been shown to increase bone volume in fracture healing.
Pain reduction:
By affecting cellular and molecular pathways, PEMF can lead to pain relief without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.
Restoration of balance:
The therapy aims to restore the body's natural electromagnetic field, which can be disrupted by injury or illness.

What it's used for
Fracture healing, Spinal fusions, Osteoarthritis, Chronic pain, and Tendon and soft tissue injuries.
Benefits and side effects

Benefits:
Non-invasive and drug-free

Accelerates healing
Reduces pain and inflammation
Improves sleep in some cases

Side effects:

Generally considered very safe

Rarely, temporary fatigue, mild discomfort, or changes in sleep patterns can occur, but they are short-lived, as this is typically caused by the body's natural healing and detoxification process.

Lymphatic Massage, What is it?

A 90-minute lymphatic massage is a gentle, rhythmic session designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and nodes that helps remove waste and toxins from the body Unlike deep-tissue massage, this therapy uses very light pressure and sweeping motions, which makes it deeply relaxing and highly therapeutic for individuals looking to detoxify, reduce swelling, and boost their immune function. The extended 90-minute duration allows the therapist to provide a comprehensive, full-body treatment, ensuring that key lymphatic areas such as the neck, armpits, abdomen, and groin receive thorough attention.

Mechanisms that boost immune function

Improved circulation of immune cells
Transports lymphocytes: Lymphatic fluid transports lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, throughout the body. These cells are crucial for recognizing and attacking foreign invaders like bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Efficient delivery: A well-functioning lymphatic system, aided by massage, ensures these immune cells can travel more efficiently to sites of infection or inflammation.
Optimizes lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are filters that trap harmful substances and house immune cells. By promoting lymph flow, massage helps ensure that pathogens reach the lymph nodes to be neutralized. Swollen lymph nodes are a sign that the body is fighting an infection, and massage helps this process along by preventing stagnation.
Enhanced detoxification and waste removal
Flushes toxins: The lymphatic system removes cellular waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body's tissues. A sluggish lymphatic system can lead to a buildup of waste, which can overtax the immune system.
Reduced immune burden: By helping the body remove these harmful substances more efficiently, lymphatic massage reduces the overall burden on the immune system, allowing it to function more optimally.
Reduced inflammation
Fluid clearance: By clearing away excess fluid, a lymphatic massage can reduce localized inflammation, a common response to injury or infection.
Harmonious response: Proper lymphatic drainage promotes a more balanced inflammatory response and helps prevent the chronic inflammation that can weaken the immune system over time.
Stress reduction
Calms nervous system: The gentle, rhythmic strokes of a lymphatic massage can be deeply relaxing, activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
Lowers stress hormones: This relaxation response can help lower stress hormones like cortisol, which are known to suppress immune function.
Better sleep: A relaxed state can also lead to improved sleep quality, which is essential for a healthy immune system to rejuvenate.

Key research findings on efficacy:

Lymphedema:

Post-surgery breast cancer lymphedema: Several studies and systematic reviews have focused on the effect of MLD on breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). While some recent meta-analyses have found limited effects when compared to control groups, others note that MLD can provide significant reductions in excess limb volume and dermal thickness when used as a part of complete decongestive therapy (CDT). Studies suggest that longer treatment durations (e.g., more than 20 sessions or two weeks) may be more beneficial. Combined with other therapies: For optimal results in lymphedema management, MLD is often performed as a component of CDT, which also includes compression therapy, exercise, and skin care. Some randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown positive effects of MLD when combined with other therapies for lymphedema.

Lymphedema in other areas: MLD has also been found effective in reducing swelling from lymphedema in other areas, such as the lower limbs due to chronic venous insufficiency.

Post-surgical swelling and recovery

Reduced pain and inflammation: Studies show that MLD can help reduce pain and inflammation following surgery. For example, one trial found that MLD reduced pain and functional limitations after total knee arthroplasty. Faster recovery: In plastic and cosmetic surgery, regular MLD sessions can significantly reduce swelling and bruising by helping the body flush out excess fluid and waste. Studies suggest that patients who receive MLD recover faster and may have better aesthetic results compared to those who do not. Management of scar tissue and fibrosis: Post-op MLD can help break down fibrotic, or hardened, tissue that can occur after surgery, leading to softer, more pliable scars.

Chronic conditions:

Fibromyalgia and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): Research indicates that lymphatic drainage massage can be beneficial for those with fibromyalgia, showing improvements in depression, stiffness, and quality of life. For individuals with CVI, MLD can help increase the speed of blood flow.

Axillary web syndrome (AWS): Studies have shown that MLD can effectively manage the symptoms of AWS (cording) that can occur after breast cancer surgery, including a significant reduction in pain.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS): A 2025 meta-analysis found that lymphatic drainage techniques can significantly reduce pain and nerve compression in patients with CTS.

Contraindications
Certain conditions can make lymphatic massage unsafe. You should not receive a lymphatic massage if you have any of the following:
Acute infection, Malignant tumors: Unless the massage is specifically approved by an oncologist for palliative care, Untreated Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), Congestive heart failure, Kidney failure or CKD, and Severe uncontrolled hypertension.

Are you looking for an Energetic healing session? If so, You have come to the right place💛

A healing session with me is a gentle, low-touch process that channels a deep, spiritual energy for your well-being. Using a systematic method known as Energy Healing, I act as a conduit for the divine energy and unconditional love that Yeshua (Jesus) exemplified in his own healing. Hayya ruha - this phrase combines the Hebrew words hayya, meaning "life" or "living," and ruha, meaning "spirit" or "wind". The complete phrase can be understood as the "living spirit" or "breath of life" attributed to the divine.This sacred life-force energy, which we can connect to using the Hebrew, Hayye, is used to clear energetic blockages and restore balance within your body's energy field. The session is grounded in prayer and loving intention, creating a safe and peaceful space for you to relax and receive. Clients describe the experience as profoundly calming, feeling a sense of deep peace, warmth, or a lightness as negative or heavy energies are gently swept away. By removing these energetic impurities and infusing your system with fresh, divine vitality, we (you, I, and the Heavenly beings) activate your body's innate ability to heal itself on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. This holistic approach supports your overall health and helps you reconnect with a sense of peace and divine presence.

Peace be with you 💛
