About Us
Lorel Hammerstad, RMT, Certified Reflexologist
Lorel believes in combining relaxation techniques with therapeutic massage for improved results. If the body does not relax, neither will the injured muscle tissue. Reducing the sympathetic nervous system, our fight or flight response, jump starts the parasympathetic nervous system, our rest and digest response. Science has proved that rest and relaxation aids in improved repair and recovery from injury.
