Alternative Healing Massage & Breath Work with Swami Dharma Giten, L.M.T. Massage Giten's bodywork sessions are a unique combination of various alternative healing massage techniques including Therapeutic Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, and Thai Massage. Each session customized to integrate these alternative healing modalities to accommodate individual client needs. Each one of these techniques has something unique to offer as they compliment each other a great deal in a bodywork session. Either it is Therapeutic Massage which helps to rehabilitate after injuries or Deep Tissue Massage which works on underlying muscles, connective tissue, and ligaments, freeing contracted tissue that constrict free movement of the body, increasing range of motion of the limbs, and mobility; aids blood circulation and lymph drainage, boosting the immune system, or just plain relaxation or stress relief. Shiatsu and Thai Massage work on palpating the energy flow meridians and points, balancing out the flow of Chi - Vital life force energy - to the internal organs and helping the body's ability to heal itself. During the sessions emphasis is placed on proper breathing to aid the release of tension stored in the tissues of the body. Bodywork sessions are conducted in the privacy and comfort of the client's home or in the nice and cozy therapy rooms of the Institute for Core Energetics. Breath Sessions The Vedas have said that the breath is Brahma. And it is right in a very subtle way. Breath is your life and breath is also the bridge between the conscious and subconscious, between your body and your soul. As you have probably noticed, your breathing is closely connected with your emotional state. When you are angry, you breath in a certain pattern and when you are in love, you breath differently. You cannot do anything in which your breath is not deeply involved. In a Breath session we use our breath as a medium to reach the deeper layers of subconscious where our past experiences and emotions related to them are stored. These stored past experiences and emotions greatly effect our present life in one way or another. Therefore you are able to see it clearly for what it is and release the stored emotion, so you can live a fuller life, a life in which the past has no hold of.

To book a session or for any question:

"First time I received massage from Giten, it was a ten-minute mini session at a health event. It was so powerful and rejuvenating, that I immediately booked a full session with him. Since then I've been receiving weekly massages from Giten. I feel that this massage is much more than just a pleasant sensation; it actually nourishes my body. Giten is highly intuitive and his technique and touch are a great gift."  - N.A., Health Counselor
