My approach to a Deep Tissue massage starts by warming the tissue with Swedish techniques, often incorporating tools like hot stones, massage cups, or gua sha tools. I work with your lungs to slowly sink into the connective tissue, focusing on trigger points and chronic holding patterns that are holding you back. It is important to increase your water intake before and after a deep tissue session to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that we will be releasing.
I am confident that you will have better range of motion, less pain, and a better understanding of what your body is going through after this session. It is my intention to not only help my clients in the moment, but to share fun and easy ways to put yourself first every day.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from surgery or injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
This session starts with full body body brushing, and ends with a hot towel wrap. The body brushes are yours to keep, and make way for great self care at home.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique where I use the energy from my hands to redirect the cerebral spinal fluid that flows from your spine and around your skull so that it’s evenly distributed throughout your body.
This modality is very effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.
Reiki therapy is a type of bodywork which is focused on the energy fields of the body, rather than the physical body itself. This type of body work is also called energy work because the practitioner attempts to adjust the skewed energy fields of the body and bring them into balance. Energy and breath work is a part of all of my sessions.
