Your Path to Relief Starts Here.

Hello, my name is Amanda Joy Lathan. I am a Certified Massage Therapist and Level II Reiki Practioner. I received my training at Virginia School of Technology in Virginia Beach, VA from October 2001 through March 2002. I opened my first business in May 2003 and have been at The Healing Fountain since May 2009. The other therapists working with me have all been certified for over six years. By analyzing your health information and preferences from your client intake form we customize the massage to fit your individual needs. During each session heating pads are used on the back and neck to warm and relax tight muscles. This helps to relieve pain and allows the therapist to penetrate deeper into the muscle tissue to help break up painful muscle adhesions. We use a combination of various techniques including Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, accupressure, reflexology, energy work and a variety of stretching techniques. Aromatherapy is included and heated towels are used at the end of each session to soothe the skin and remove any excess oils. All appointments are scheduled allowing sufficient time in between sessions so you will not be rushed and the therapist will be refreshed for each client. with

On Going Progression and Personal Wellness are our goals! We offer Massage Therapy, Personal Training, Worksite Wellness programs, and Heart Zones® Group Fitness Classes in a small private climate controlled studio. We are also Virginia Beach's 1st Vemma and Verve Antioxidant Drink Distributor, "The World's Most Powerful Liquid Antioxidant".

In my practice I use a body, mind and spirit approach. Myofascial Release, Shiatsu, Russian Sports Massage and Reiki are my main focus. I integrate these modalities in each session for each individual. Reiki is a perfect tool for improving your life. Reiki can increase awareness, intuition, the desire to be a better person, manifesting, the list goes on. Learn all three levels in tradional Usui Method or a modern method of Reiki. You will recieve a manual, and audio, all three levels in the Tradional Usui Method for $75. Distant healing is available or attunements. Russian Sports Massage will increase your lifestyle by 2 years with sixty years of evidence based material. The benefits effect the muscular and cardiovascular systems and the skin. The muscular system: increase in: elasticity, contractibility and reaction time; increase in number of active capillaries and veins (34 per square inch in muscle at vs. 1400 with RSM), width and lumen. There will be a decrease in lactic acid buildup, this all allows the muscle to rehabilitate. The client will also have a quicker recovery time. The cardiovascular system will use less effort to pump more blood, more capillaries and veins are used and the heart will increase contractibility.Your blood pressure will normalize and circulation will increase from 9 percent to 140 percent. The Skin is improved via blood flow to the capillaries from exfoliation and circulation. Your body will use more oxygen and sweat gland function will improve. Russian Sports Massage will optimize the clients potential.
