Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using gentle techniques to stretch the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that covers and connects all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures, like a giant, continuous web through your body. For a session focused solely on MFR techniques, clients typically wear shorts and a sports bra or similar clothing so the therapist can see how your body is responding and determine where to work next. 

Relaxation Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils with an array of strokes such as gliding, 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, and greater flexibility.

Anatomically Precise Bodywork

I use anatomically precise techniques to access and release trigger points or "knots" in your muscles, realigning the fibers for freer motion.  This is sometimes referred to as "deep tissue" massage, but I will never use enough pressure to bruise or leave your tissues any more sore than if you had a good workout.  Open communication during the session is important to make sure we use the appropriate amount of pressure to be effective.  These techniques can be blended into a full body massage if you have a particular area of need, or we can focus on rehabilitating areas of chronic stress due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and lingering injuries.

Energy Work

Energy work is a relaxing, nurturing way to strengthen the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms.  Gentle touch as well as hands-off work in the energy field around your body assists in balancing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I have been trained in several energy work modalities, including Reiki, Healing Touch, and Quantum Touch, and will use intuition and input from you to determine which technique to use at any given moment.  Clients remain clothed, and energy work can easily be blended with other modalities.

Chakra Stone Massage

Chakra stone massage utilizes a variety of stones known for their healing properties (e.g., obsidian, carnelian, fluorite, lapis lazuli, and various quartz crystals).  Stones may be warmed, and are used to massage before being placed on the appropriate energy center (chakra).  The energetic vibrations inherent in each type of gemstone deepen the healing effects for your body, mind, and spirit. Advance notice is needed to prepare the stones.

Reflexology

According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into 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. We will methodically explore your feet and discover the stories they have to tell. This work stands on its own or can be incorporated with other modalities.

Chair Massage

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home, workplace, or event site. You receive your massage while sitting in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. Chair massage is done over the clothing, and sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it more convenient to fit into your day.  If you have a group or event that would appreciate the health benefits of massage, this is the perfect way to meet that need.

Rates

My philosophy is that what needs to happen in a session does not always fall neatly in line with the ticking of a clock. Sessions are typically approximately 2 hours, including check-ins at the beginning and end and the hands-on time. Just let me know if you need to wrap up by a certain time. If possible, allow extra time to continue integrating the work we've done.
