About Grace

Recently, Grace Scarbrough decided that it is time to spread her wings and start her own practice.  To that end, she now has her own office in Asheville.  She will continue to take call for Phoenix Massage, but will just be working from a different building, and can still be reached at her cell phone number.

Grace Scarbrough, MS, LMBT has nine years’ experience in massage therapy and specializes in Thai Yoga, as well as deep tissue massage. Her work is intuitive and broad-ranging from gentle touch to deep tissue massage.

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Yoga massage is an ancient healing system developed in Thailand. The massage is done on a futon style mat on the floor and involves having the client fully dressed in loose fitting or stretchy clothing. This technique begins by working energy lines along the body, called sen lines, through the use of rhythmic compressions. Once the energy in the body is moving, then your body is assisted in a series of therapeutic, gentle stretches which help to elongate the muscles, restore posture and to balance the flow of energy in the body. Some people have called this “lazy man’s yoga,” because it feels like having yoga done to you. The result is a feeling of rejuvenation, actually feeling taller and more straight when standing, and feeling revitalized.

Reiki

Reiki is energy work. Our bodies run on electricity. Everything from the beating of our hearts to the transmission of nerve impulses through our bodies is electrical. Reiki balances the energy centers of our bodies (called Chakras) through which this electrical energy flows. Grace also does awesome energy work to restore balance in your electrical system.

Lomi Lomi

Lomi Lomi is an ancient massage using warm oils and broad strokes with the forearms–it is very nurturing and relaxing and has a gentle rebirthing effect on the psyche.

Noetic Field Therapy

Surrounding our physical body is our aura, or energy body. This is an egg-shaped field that can be photographed and reaches out around each individual approximately the length of your arm. Noetic Field Therapy (NFT) is a type of energy work that deals with releasing blocks in the auric field (dealing with the aura) through working with the client’s belief system. Old beliefs that no longer serve us and block us from who and what we are and can create tension and dis-ease in the body. NFT works to release these blocks. For more information, visit the Noetic Field Therapy website where you can go to Grace’s link to learn more about this amazing work.

Grace also specializes in Hot Stone and salt glow spa massage.
