Massage & Bodywork

Swedish

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.

Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Prenatal

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps to release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.

Reiki

Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on or hovering of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

CranioSacral

CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle assessment of the cranial rhythm and cerebral spinal fluid. It involves subtle manipulations of the bones, being more osteopathic in nature, with long holds anywhere from 3-30 minutes. It deeply activates the parasympathetic nervous system, leaving you in a very relaxed and calm state of mind. CranioSacral Therapy can help with numerous issues including trauma, whiplash, migraines, TMJ, and physical and emotional stress and tension.

Thai Foot

Thai Foot Massage follows an ancient tradition working with energy lines (Sen) which run through the whole body. It includes manipulation of the feet, knees, and lower legs delivered on a massage table while utilizing hands and special tools to stimulate pressure points and relieve muscle tension. It will relax your foot muscles and improve your movements. Thai foot massage can also boost blood and lymph flow to the nerve center muscles in the foot soles. Consequently, internal organs perform more efficiently, improving body balance and general health.

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient Egyptian 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.
