Pre-Natal/Post-Partum Massage

Massage is a blessing for pregnant women! Enjoy a session safely during all three trimesters of pregnancy. Pillows will be used to facilitate a comfortable sidelying or reclining position once lying face-down becomes uncomfortable. After the baby arrives, abdomen massage will be incorporated to encourage rehabilitation of the core muscles.

Sensory Repatterning (Passive Joint)

Sensory Repatterning is a passive joint movement technique. This method taps into the natural rhythm of the body that is receiving, using gentle rocking motions and resilience to help encourage a feeling of freedom and movement. Sensory evokes deep relaxation through undulating movements and speaks deeply to the whole being. During a Sensory Repatterning session, you lie on the table fully clothed as I move your body in various ways to promote the release of muscle tension.

This type of massage is good for: reclaiming range of motion, general relaxation, stress reduction, seniors, athletes, injury recovery, emotional trauma, trust issues.

Jin Shin Acutouch

Jin Shin Acutouch is an ancient form of Japanese energy work and a complete healing system in its own right. This system is made up of 26 points and many patterns that support the flow of energy through your body. During a Jin Shin session you lie comfortably on the massage table face-up, fully clothed, while I lightly touch the different points in specific patterns appropriate for you. The experience of receiving Jin Shin is often profound, and induces deep relaxation.

This type of massage is good for: deep relaxation, stress reduction, visualization, pregnant women, easing chronic health issues, emotional and physical trauma recovery, energetic blocks, trust issues, general health maintenence by maintaining energetic flow.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the most popular and familiar massage modality in the United States. Pure creams, oils, or aromatherapy oils are used to create a luxurious experience. This massage can be as light or deep as you like! During a Swedish session you lie on the table unclothed, but comfortably and modestly draped with soft sheets, while I apply a variety of different massage strokes (such as rolling, kneading, and percussion) designed to facilitate improved circulation and complete relaxation.

This type of massage is good for: general relaxation, stress reduction, improved circulation, skin stimulation, general health and well-being.

Deep Tissue Sculpting

Deep Tissue Sculpting is very specific work that uses a series of deep compressions. Pressure is slowly increased as the muscle tissue relaxes, inviting my hands deeper into the tissue. This work can help release chronic pain and muscle tension. Sessions focus on one or two areas of the body, as it is quite time-intensive, but highly effective for chronic tension. During a Deep Tissue Sculpting session, you lie on the table supported by pillows in order to fully access whichever area of the body we are working on. This work is performed directly on the skin without the use of oil or lotion, or can be integrated within a Therapeutic Blend session with other modalities.

This type of massage is good for: Addressing specific muscles and areas of chronic tension or pain.

Gua Sha (Coining)

From Guasha.com: Gua Sha is healing technique used throughout Asia. Gua means to rub or friction. Sha is the term used to describe congestion of blood at the surface of the body. When friction is applied in repeated even strokes, the sha surfaces as small red petechiae. In minutes the petechiae fade into echymotic patches. The sha disappears totally in two to four days. The color and rate of fading are both diagnostic and prognostic indicators.

Benefits: moves stuck blood, promoting normal circulation to the muscles, tissues, and organs directly beneath the surface treated. The client experiences immediate changes in stiffness, pain and mobility.

Therapeutic Blends

Custom sessions utilizing any combination of the above modalities for maximum benefit and optimal wellness.
