Ann Richardson

Description of Services

HEALTH COACHING: Three or six month coaching sessions with Ann facilitate healthy, sustainable behavior change individualized to you by challenging you to listen to your own inner wisdom, identify your values, and transform your goals into action. Weight loss programs may work for a while but they are...well programs. How many people can or will change their lives for a program? Ann's approach is to coach you through the confusing array of healthy lifestyle options, understand why your needs are different than others and empower you to make your own healthy living decisions. Knowing what your body needs and what will work for you is real change and freedom from plans and programs.

MASSAGE AND BODYWORK SERVICES: Ann has trained extensively in the use of therapeutic grade essential oils and incorporates Young Living Therapeutic Essential Oils into all of her modalities. Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. If you're unsure of which service to choose, feel free to give Ann a call to determine the best protocol for your particular situation.

Therapeutic Massage: A basic therapeutic massage includes the manual manipulation of the soft tissue using different strokes such as effleurage, tapotement, Vita Flex, feather stroking, rocking, myofascial release, and/or friction, designed especially for you and your needs.

Oola Professional Massage: What are your 3 lowest F's? (Check out the Oola Wheel on OolaLife.com to find out.) We'll use that information to create your signature blend of oils and use it for 75 minutes of AWESOME Oola Massage!!! What's more, you'll even take that blend home with you to continue your State of Oola Awesomeness 21 Days to New Thinking.

Thermal Palms Massage: A great alternative to hot stone massage, Thermal Palms® are soft hand-held heat modalities which provide long lasting heat as they cushion and protect the spine and bones during massage. Continually gets client approval as "most relaxing massage ever!" Just try to stay awake through the entire session!

Nighty-night Massage: Enjoy a relaxing full body evening hours massage with therapeutic grade essential oils that will prepare you for a gentle slumber for the night.

Myofascial Trigger Point Release: When stressed or injured, your muscles and the connective tissue around them can form trigger points, "knots", causing you pain and tightness. This myofascial dysfunction can cause you referred and chronic pain. Understanding where you are feeling pain and then determining possible sources for it help us evaluate which muscles may be causing your pain. Then we can target those painful muscles with massage, compression, stretching and contraction, releasing painful chemicals that become trapped in the muscle (in the trigger point). We’ll choose self-care techniques you’ll continue between your appointments in order to speed the healing process between our sessions. During follow up visits, you will learn additional self-care so you can stop the pain in the future and prevent it from returning.

Classic Raindrop Technique: Therapeutic grade essential oils are applied to the feet and back/spine using special techniques such as Vita Flex, feathered finger strokes and dropping the oils in “raindrop” fashion onto the back, providing balance and harmony to the body - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Specific oils are used to support the different systems of the body.

Vibrational Raindrop Technique: In a VRT session, you will experience Classic Raindrop with the added benefit of tuning forks for a gentle vibration that may provide a much deeper level of relaxation. Specific oils are used to support the different systems of the body.

Harmonic Raindrop Technique: Take Classic Raindrop Technique, add tuning forks and lights. You now have essential oils on steroids! Not really, but you get the point. Everything has energy and everything's energy vibrates at a different frequency. Each of the oils have their own frequency as do tuning forks. Each fork has a different sound frequency. Now we add lights to create a higher frequency and/or gemstone tips for focus. And when we are able to break through those restricted muscles and raise your energetic frequency, you are able to function more efficiently. Once again, we can chose specific oils to support different systems of the body.
