Circulatory/Swedish:
Usually a full body experience, oil or lotion is applied directly on the skin using long flowing and kneading strokes towards the heart.
Deep Tissue Sculpting:
Focused pressure using hands, fingers, elbows, etc., is slowly applied to specific areas of tension to soften and release chronically contracted muscle tissue.
Traditional Thai Massage:
Performed on a mat on the floor or on a massage table, this modality uses palm-pressing, stretching and joint movement to open and balance the body's flow of energy as well as promote relaxation, stress and tension relief.
Pre & Perinatal Massage:
A nurturing experience for mother and baby, massage therapy provides comfort, support, and relief during pregnancy.
Tui Na:
This Traditional Chinese Medical massage focuses on unblocking and restoring proper blood and energy (chi) flow to the meridians and muscles, thereby strengthening the organs, tissues, and immune system
Structural Organization:
Applying deep pressure that holds the body in alignment, the client is asked to actively participate with movement, which re-educates muscle tissue, affecting our sense of grounding and posture.
Neuromuscular Therapy:
This modality specifically addresses chronic pain issues using trigger point and cross-fiber muscular techniques.
Sensory Re-Patterning:
Rocking, cradling, gentle wave-like motions, and passive joint movement awakens the nervous system creating a dream like space through which sensation is experienced, holding patterns of movement are released and trust and nurturing are cultivated.
Relational Somatics:
Through stretching and opening the connective tissue of the body, story telling, communication, journaling, artwork, movement expression, and breath exercises, we will explore the internal landscape that is the source of all experience.
Somato-Emotional Integration:
With awareness and sensitivity to emotional processing, I encourage my client to allow their body to "come alive" and to "speak" to them. Imagery and movement become the body’s language and we learn to listen to and to interpret the body’s signals and messages. Using intuition, creativity, and verbal cues, I blend passive joint movement with deep tissue sculpting to both melt chronic or acute tension and to inspire movement and flow in the body.
