Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is a result-driven form of bodywork, focused on targeting muscle tension throughout the body. It is used to alleviate DOMS, reduce chronic pain, improve flexibility and mobility, as well as treat some specific health conditions related to musculoskeletal issues, injuries, or postural imbalances. Therapeutic Massage is done at a pressure between medium - firm, depending on the comfort of the client.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It focuses on the body as a whole instead of centering in on specific muscles and combines an array of techniques such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. Swedish Massage is best for relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. Swedish Massage can be done at any pressure, ranging from light to firm.
Chair Massage
Chair Massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, Chair Massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule. Chair Massage is not a full body massage, it instead includes : head, neck, arms and shoulders, back, upper glutes, and quads.
Energy Work
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow. Energy work does still include a full body Swedish massage.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated river stones are used on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage, as well as the therapist is able to use the stones for leverage to go even deeper in pressure. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating. Hot Stone Therapy can be either Therapeutic or Relaxation Massage, and can be done with any pressure.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, it can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness. Lymphatic Drainage is done at a very light pressure, as to be able to actually move the lymph around the body.
Myofascial Massage
Myofascial Massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial Massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, Myofascial Massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane. It can drastically improve tension in the body, as well as help to treat postural imbalances. This modality of massage is done with firm pressure, and is known as more of a temporary painful treatment, targeting tension much faster than deep tissue work.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These “knots” are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
