A full body massage combined with a blend of various techniques to create an integrative massage that meets the needs of the client at that particular time. This is a great one to start out with. Together we will use our intuitions to find the best modality that you enjoy most.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy used to treat somatic dysfunction and accompanying pain and restriction of motion. This is accomplished by relaxing contracted muscles, increasing circulation, increasing venous and lymphatic drainage, and stimulating the stretch reflex of muscles and overlying fascia.
Body Memory Recall (BMR) is innovative therapeutic bodywork that supports the release of body memory. As a BMR therapist I sensitively apply gentle pressure and stretch that is gradually increased over time as the body relaxes and releases. In addition to the rhythmic movements used in traditional massage, BMR incorporates sustained pressure and stretch to guarded and restricted regions of the body for three to five minutes, sometimes longer which is often necessary for a complete release .
*($20.00 additional) A deep tissue massage is a deep pressure beneficial for persons with chronic pain that uses slow strokes and direct pressure to access the deepest layers of muscle and fascia to release chronic patterns of tension in the body.
The most commonly offered and best-known type of massage, this therapy uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits.
A blend of gliding, kneading, passive stretching, compression, and deep tissue work to ease muscle soreness, return muscles to their normal resting length, and increase flexibility, thereby maximizing your workout. This is beneficial before and after sporting events as well as during training. Whether you are a prop or a weekend warrior, it is important to use this method to prevent injury as well as to improve your competitive edge.
While you are face up, I uses specific hand placements held for 5 minutes each to bring about deep relaxation, relieve headaches, pain from TMJ, and low back pain.
This says it all - it is intended to help you relax. Lots of gentle to medium pressure effleurage (long, flower) strokes are used. Perfect for someone who just wants to unwind.
Chakra balancing is based on the belief that the body has seven main energy centers along the spine which absorb and emit life force. These energy centers are referred to as chakras. Thru massage and energy work I assist you in becoming more balanced and in tune with your life force, thus relieving any energy blockages you may have.
While you are fully clothed on the table (or in a chair), I perform energy work. It is extremely relaxing and is perfect for the person who does not like friction on the skin.
This massage is perfect to help relieve the sore muscles and fatigue that are experienced during and after pregnancy. The skin is nourished with a specially formulated body butter that helps rebuild collagen and connective tissue to help skin have a better chance of stretching without marks. This service is available after the completion of the 1st trimester. Must provide a signed release from your OB/GYN.
I show you a gentle and loving baby massage that has many benefits for both parents and infant. The relationship between a parent and baby is enhanced and strengthened through the nurturing touch of infant massage. Parent’s often find that their baby sleeps better, fusses less, and gains more weight, when massaged regularly.
