Services
Lomilomi Massage
Lomilomi is an ancient Hawaiian healing art using rhythmic, flowing movements to release tension and restore balance. This deep-tissue technique promotes detoxification, pain relief, and emotional healing through compassionate touch. Clients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and renewed vitality while receiving treatment in a sacred, calming environment.
Reiki Healing
Reiki sessions use gentle touch to channel universal life energy for physical and emotional healing. This non-invasive therapy reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and supports the body's natural healing processes. Clients remain fully clothed during hour-long sessions that balance energy flow and address specific areas of discomfort or imbalance.
CranioSacral Therapy
This gentle therapy releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to alleviate headaches, neck pain, and nervous system imbalances. Using light touch from head to spine, it improves cerebrospinal fluid flow and reduces chronic pain patterns. Sessions promote deep relaxation while addressing structural and neurological health concerns.
Lymphatic Drainage
Specialized light-pressure techniques stimulate lymph flow to reduce swelling, boost immunity, and eliminate toxins. This therapy addresses edema, fibromyalgia symptoms, and post-surgical recovery through gentle, rhythmic movements that enhance the body's natural detoxification processes.
Dynamic Energetic Healing
Combining sound therapy and energy techniques, this modality removes emotional blocks and restores energetic harmony. Using muscle testing and targeted protocols, it addresses subconscious patterns affecting physical and emotional well-being through a structured approach to personal empowerment.

Ellen is spectacular. She has been helping me significantly since my last surgery. I had many complications with 3 major surgeries and an infection. She has kept my lymphatic system working and moving. She is very intuitive to what your body needs, even if you don't realize it at the time. She is kind, soft spoken, and so great at explaining things if you need it. She is also great at just working on you if you need quiet and relaxing. She has been a God send to my health and healing.

She found all the areas that have been bothering me for years! She was also willing to explain how the body works and what was going on with my body. I believe there will be many more appointments with Ellen in my future!

I've been to Cascade Bodyworks a number of times. Ellen performs excellent massage and has a very intuitive feel for the muscles and connective tissue she is working. Her studio is warm and comfortable and so relaxing. Highly recommended!
