Either for medical reasons or just to feel great, Somekind of Sanctuary applies soft-tissue manipulation techniques in various forms of massage and bodywork to aid in our clients’ rebalance, removal of tension and stress, realignment, improved circulation and relaxation. Some of our techniques include Reiki and Esoteric healing, Cranial Release Technique, and Biofeedback. As one of the oldest of healing arts and an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, immunity suppression and more. We use various techniques that can be modified for increased or decreased pressure, specified areas of tension and any special concerns or injuries.
Gulf Harbour members and their guests may schedule appointments at the Spa and Fitness Club for their convenience, as well as Beacon Executive Suites.

Cranial Release Technique is a natural, hands-on approach to releasing the body’s inborn capacity to heal and regenerate itself. When the 22 cranial bones were discovered to move, practitioners showed that this movement affects proper function of the nervous system and optimum health. When the natural rhythmic movement of the bones of the head is disturbed, pain, nervous system imbalance and illness can result. CRT can be applied in only minutes, “releasing” and correcting all the bones individually at one time, having profound effects on overall health and well-being.
This release also realigns other tissues and structures associated with the cranium, such as: the spine, pelvis, cerebrospinal fluid, skeletal extremities, the fascia or connective tissue and the Dura Mater, the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord. Cranial Release Technique (CRT) shifts the autonomic nervous system back to the parasympathetic.
By turning on cognition, digestion, immune defense, and healing effects on Heart Rate Variability (medically recognized as an indicator of stress), CRT has a positive effect on reversing the abnormal stress state. Since your body is either in a mode of protection and survival or a mode of healing and regeneration, CRT can help restore proper function to the nervous system and brings balance back into the body, as a supplemental part of your overall wellness program.
A type of massage applied to the feet to compensate for the lack of barefoot-walking on uneven ground. Small rocks and roots would randomly work with your body weight, stimulating the release of static charged channels of trapped energy linked to other areas in your body. Also stagnant blood and lymph flow is discharged as the renewal of oxygen fresh blood is supplied, stimulating tissues at a cellular level. Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body’s energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. This technique reduces pain, increases circulation and thus relaxation.
