Carol M. Ratto, LMT

MASSaGE THERAPIST & EnERGY HEALING

Carol moved from California where she ran her own Massage Business for 20+ years. She has developed a unique way to communicate with a person’s muscles, nervous system, and fascia (connective tissue) to achieve profound release, peace, and relaxation.  Because this intuitive communication happens at a deep level, time allows for only two or three bodily sections to be worked on in a session. If you are not sure where to begin the work, allow Carol to energetically scan your body to encourage your body to decide where to begin!

Carol has been a Massage Therapist since 1996 and has been trained in Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, and Reiki. Her years of experience and knowledge bring a variety of bodywork and energy modalities to each session to achieve profound healing and wellbeing.

“I combine my innate sensitivities and intuition to interpret what each client’s needs are for each session. It is this combination of intuition, sensitivity, and technique that has become the cornerstone of my practice.

Massage Therapy is my vocation; providing a safe, welcoming environment for a therapeutic massage where the client is in control is my philosophy; and, integrating rejuvenating, nurturing touch into a client’s life is my commitment.

I invite you to experience for yourself my philosophy, my commitment, and my touch.”

Services offered by Carol:

Angels, Crystals, and Healing Hands

This intuitively guided session calls in the powerful energies from the angelic realms, the high vibrational healing frequencies of crystals, and the grounding forces of skillful human touch. 
As we connect to the inspiration and insights of our guides and angels we often find peace, self-compassion, and stability. The grounding, clearing, and healing vibrations of specifically chosen crystals for each session enhance the energetic connection to our own inner resources and wisdom. Experience these elements combined with the loving and nurturing hands of our gifted therapists as they ease tension, stress, and restrictions from your physical body to create a powerful shift in your whole self.

Channeled Massage

This treatment is for those who seek a comprehensive mind-body-spirit synthesis. A Channelled Massage creates a soul-to-body reunion that blends profound energy work with adept body work. Experience your own limitlessness, the truth of your multidimensional self, and allow for divine communication to be in complete flow. The channel opens between the receiver and their Higher Self so that new, expanded guidance may be received. Once the energy channels have opened, higher vibrations pulse through the body, releasing chronic pain, disease and stressful emotions. Recipients feel more vibrant, joyful, clearer and lighter upon the completion of the session.

Medical Massage

Carol has worked directly with Physicians, Chiropractors, and Physical Therapists for more than 20 years. She specializes in working on pathologies, injuries, pre and post-operative care, and chronic conditions. A Medical Massage session would concentrate on 2 to 3 specific areas due to the in-depth nature of this work. This is an outcome-based massage with assessment/evaluation before and after the session.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Myofascial release consists of a gentle application of sustained pressure into fascial restrictions in the body. Fascia is a tough connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web from head to foot without interruption. Trauma, posture or inflammation can create a binding down of fascia resulting in excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, osseous structures, and organs. The gentle but sustained pressure in the fascial restrictions helps release this binding and relieves pain.

A session may include myofascial unwinding which is the spontaneous movement of the client’s body in response to the therapist’s hands and its position in space. Myofascial unwinding shows up as breathing changes, involuntary twitches, and sometimes larger movements like arm or leg stretches or otherwise unprompted movements that the client does not consciously initiate. These movements are natural and a part of the healing process. The therapist supports the client in the unwinding process without directing or manipulating the movement.

MASSAGE THERAPY - THERAPEUTIC

Research and clinical studies prove that massage therapy’s advantages include much more than just relaxation. The medicinal benefits of therapeutic massage can have a positive, lasting impact on your overall health and lifestyle. It can rid your body of everyday stresses, reduce muscle pain and tension, help alleviate the discomfort of certain ailments and help restore balance to your body and mind. Deep Tissue Massage uses varying degrees of pressure to release chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia. Swedish Massage uses light strokes to calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety and tension in the body. Deep Tissue or Swedish Massages can be done as an individual session or combined in one session if needed or requested.

TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE

Trigger point massage focuses on releasing trigger points, which are small, tight knots that develop in muscles that may even cause pain in other areas of the body (an effect known as “referral pain”). Trigger point massage incorporates other therapeutic massage techniques from acupressure or myofascial release therapy, among others, depending on the therapist’s background. 

Trigger point massage involves a more targeted approach focused directly on releasing painful trigger points, so the sessions are meant to be more therapeutic and results-oriented than luxurious or relaxing.

REIKI

Reiki (pronounced ray-key), is a practice of channeling energy, laying on hands or simply working in your aura or energy field to facilitate healing. It is very effective for relaxation and stress reduction and also promotes healing. When you are relaxed your conscious mind or ego-mind relaxes, making it much easier to transmit energy that promotes your health and well-being. The Reiki practitioner is a conduit for the energy, almost like turning on a radio, where they channel Universal Life Force energy to you to detect and clear energy blocks.

INTUITIVE READING

An intuitive reading is a type of reading that is based on the use of intuition, psychic abilities, and other non-rational methods to gain insight and information about a person, situation, or question. Intuitive readings are often associated with spiritual and metaphysical practices, such as tarot reading, astrology, and mediumship.

During an intuitive reading, the reader may use various tools, such as tarot cards, crystals, or pendulums, to tap into their intuition and receive guidance or messages. They may also use their clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairsentience (clear feeling), or other psychic abilities to sense and interpret energy and information. Feel free to ask whatever your soul is curious about. It is suggested but not required that you come with questions.
