Investing in massage is an investment in your health. When you book an appointment with me, we will discuss your particular needs and I will customize a massage specific to your needs. 

Pediatric Clients

Working with children is my passion. Children receiving touch therapy shall be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parental consent is required. I specialize in working with children of all ages and with different needs and I have additional certifications to work with children on the autism spectrum and children that have been through trauma.

Swedish Massage (Gentle Touch Massage)

A gentle, relaxing massage using firm, but light pressure and long, gliding strokes, kneading and gentle friction of muscle tissue. Swedish massage relaxes the nervous system, improves circulation, reduces pain, increases flexibility and increases overall sense of wellbeing.

Therapeutic Massage

A mixed modalities massage tailored to each individual client. Techniques will range from gentle, relaxing strokes to deeper and more direct pressure. Fascia and neuromuscular techniques, stretching, cupping (an ancient technique from China), vibration, deep tissue, scraping and even some lymphatic drainage techniques are among the styles of massage that can be incorporated into your massage. Most of my regular clients receive this type of massage.

Deep Tissue Massage

Slower strokes with more direct pressure focusing on the deeper layers of muscle tissue to release chronic patterns of tension held in the body and throughout the fascia. Deep Tissue Massage offers relief from the pain of tight muscles impinging on nerves and causing structural misalignment. Increased circulation bringing oxygen and nutrients to the muscle tissue and releasing toxins are added benefits. The amount of pressure used will be adjusted to your level of comfort.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD)

Gentle, light touch techniques that encourage the natural drainage of the body's lymphatic flow.  The lymph system carries nutrients from the blood to the cells, cleanses and removes toxins from the cells and transports our immune system and repair functions of the body. We have 3 times more lymph fluid than blood in our body. The lymphatic system does not have a pump and works in peristaltic wavelike movements. When this movement slows down or becomes congested it affects the body's ability to rid itself of waste causing edema (swelling of the extremities), pain, sinus congestion, and other symptoms of discomfort or disease.

Subtle maneuvers restore the body's natural lymph flow, stimulate the immune system and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. A session of MLD can aid the body in reducing swelling, relieving sinus and allergy problems, detoxification, reducing chronic pain and fibromyalgia symptoms, and promoting a deep state of relaxation to aid in insomnia and stress relief.
