Practices:
- Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT)
|
Dawn Kirby, CMT, MATCsMuscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is a manual therapy and form of bodywork that prepares the body for all types of movement (including physical therapy, exercise, work, and daily living activities). MAT addresses and corrects imbalances in the muscular system allowing the body to function efficiently and painlessly. Restoring efficient joint motion allows the body to recover and return to optimal performance. Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and active or sedentary individuals rehabilitating from an orthopedic injury have all benefited from MAT.
Benefits of MAT can be helpful to those:
- Concerned about the quality of life as they age
- Discouraged from exercise due to chronic injury and pain
- Confused about how to best get healthy and fit
- Frustrated at feeling their health and fitness slipping away
- Intimidated a rigorous exercise program
- Afraid they can’t return to sports after an injury

Jan Hettich is a Reiki Master & Teacher, a Certified Esoteric Practitioner, she practices Indian Head Massage and is also a licensed nurse. Reiki and Esoteric Healing are therapies using a light touch of hands on or off the body. The hands are used to balance and clear the energy centers within the body and the surrounding energy fields. These therapies are given while the client is lying on a massage table fully clothed.
Indian Head Massage is a relaxing massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck and scalp, followed with pressure point therapy of the face and ears, ending with an upper chakra balancing. This is given in a chair and the client remains clothed.
Reflexology is a pressure point therapy applied to the bottom and top of the feet. The client sits in a comfortable reclining chair while treatment is given.

Sherri Hillman, B.S., R.N., Energy Kinesiologist. Sherri uses joyful movement exercises and hands on clearing and balancing of the body’s energy systems to facilitate flow and support health and well-being in mind, body and spirit.
I am a massage therapist and Certified Eden Energy Medicine Advanced Practitioner and have been studying and practicing holistic health for over 25 years. Although I have an extensive background in therapeutic massage, my passion and specialty is energy kinesiology, which is an umbrella term for modalities such as Touch for Health and Donna Eden Energy Medicine (www.innersource.net). I became passionate about this work after it profoundly changed my health and life. Energy kinesiology uses muscle monitoring (aka muscle testing) to assess flow and imbalance in the body’s various energy systems (chakras, meridians, aura, radiant circuits, etc.)
My background in energy work includes in depth training in Touch for Health, Professional Kinesiology Practice, N.A.E.T. (allergy elimination), esoteric healing, and Plant Spirit Medicine (a blend of shamanic plant medicine and Chinese Five Element Theory). Most recently, I have spent the last nine years studying Energy Medicine with Donna Eden, an internationally renowned healer and teacher of energy kinesiology. I received advanced certification in Jan of 2007 and am occasionally a teaching assistant for Donna’s workshops.
A session with me is a creative and collaborative process. With the use of energy testing, heart to heart discussion, energy psychology tools (e.g. “tapping”), hands on energy balancing techniques, movement exercises and more, we are able to identify and clear limiting beliefs, stuck emotions and energy blockages from our body mind and spirit.
