Peter Johnke -- Transformation through Touch Integrating Spirit, Mind, and Body, through Touch I began working in massage in 1993.  In 1997 I studied at the Cayce/Reilly School of Massotherapy in Virginia Beach, VA.  After graduating I worked as a therapist at the A.R.E. Health and Rejuvenation Center.  I also served as an assistant instructor at the school, while continuing to take classes in Colon Hydrotherapy, Jin Shin Do® Acupressure, and Infant Massage.  My wife, Helen, and I live in central Vermont with our cat, Rosemary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By appointment - Call (802) 279-5823 -- GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Therapies offered: Cayce/Reilly Massage Cayce/Reilly Massage Therapy generally starts with slow, gliding strokes that begin lightly and gradually work deeper.  Specific muscle groups are then worked according to your needs. My specialty is relaxing massage, using long relaxing strokes connecting the body together as a whole. I also have experience working with people with disabilities. Massage sessions often include gentle, passive, stretches and rotations to help improve flexibility and range of motion.  Moist heat may also be used to help relax tight muscles.  Your comfort is most important, so while clients usually undress for a massage, and are draped at all times, this is adjusted to each client's preference. "The spirit is life; the mind is the builder; the physical is the result." -- Edgar Cayce reading Healing Touch A wonderfully relaxing therapy that works in the body's auric field.  The therapist's physical contact with the body is minimal, but it is very powerful work.  Clients are fully clothed during Healing Touch. Acupressure Similar to acupuncture, but using finger pressure instead of needles.  Sessions are generally 1-1/2 hours and may use different approaches. Acupressure eliminates energy blockages and balances energy through out the body.  Meridian work focuses on specific energy blockages.  Segmental work may focus on acute problem areas such as shoulders or lower back. Five element therapy helps balance energy highs and lows between the different meridians. During Acupressure clients are usually fully clothed while lying on a massage table. Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonics) A gentle way of cleansing the colon, to detoxify the body for improved health and wellbeing. Over time, as a result of poor diet or illness, the colon may not empty completely. Toxins and old waste may build up and adhere to the walls of the large intestine, similar to how plaque adheres to the walls of arteries. Colon hydrotherapy can help eliminate this debris and its related toxins. The practice of cleansing the colon is thousands of years old and goes back to the time of the Escenes. We regularly clean the outside of the body. It is equally important to periodically clean the inside of the body. Back to the list of practioners
