From the first time I felt OmShi’s touch, I knew I was in the hands of a very special person. Having had hundreds of massages, body work, adjustments, and spa treatments over the past 30 years, I can truly say that OmShi’ is at the top of her profession. She can pinpoint one specific area and help it begin to heal, or put you into the most deeply relaxed state you will ever experience. She has the gift.

Depression, Anxiety, and Massage Therapy

“Massage has been shown to decrease depression and anxiety while improving sleep and lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels.”

 

This research study demonstrated the ability of massage therapy to ease depression and anxiety in hospitalized patients compared to subjects who viewed relaxing videos.

METHOD: A 30-minute back massage was given daily for a 5-day period to 52 hospitalized depressed and adjustment disorder children and adolescents.

RESULTS: Compared with a control group who viewed relaxing videotapes, the massaged subjects were less depressed and anxious and had lower saliva cortisol levels after the massage. In addition, nurses rated the subjects as being less anxious and more cooperative on the last day of the study, and nighttime sleep increased over this period. Finally, urinary cortisol and norepinephrine levels decreased, but only for the depressed subjects.

Omshi’ is the most spiritually gifted healer and teacher I have ever encountered. She came to my wife and me first to give us massage and we were astounded at her level of ability in this area and the unmistakable spiritual healing that took place as well.
