Energy Work
Energy work is incorporated into every massage when needed. When energy work is the focus of the session gentle abdominal massage may be incorporated. Moira's energy work is a combination of traditional healing tools from many cultures, most specifically from the Quechua of the Andes and the Maya of the Yukatan.  Traditional Maya healers believe there are spiritual diseases called Susto (fright/trauma), Pesar (grief/loss), Tistessa (sadness/depression), Coraje (anger), and Envidia (envy/jealousy).  It is believed that by clearing these heavy emotions from an individual it allows them to walk lighter along their journey in this world.
