Massage Techniques from the lightest to the deepest and all equally effective.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy Therapy is a gentle form of holistic therapy using touch to evaluate and affect the cranio-sacral system, i.e. the cranium (skull), the spinal column and the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, in turn affecting every cell in the body via the connective tissue. This method allows the bodies own healing process to restore balance in itself. It also allows you the time to focus on what your body is doing internally. It is a trip feeling the muscles relax and lengthen on their own.
Reiki uses Universal Life Force or God Power energy to facilitate healing. Reiki works by flowing energy through blocked areas of the body and charging them with positive energy. A very passive, quiet modality that carries huge benefits.
Myofascial Release Therapy uses gentle stretches to allow the connective tissue that runs throughout the entire body to warm up and soften so it may begin releasing the stuck holding patterns. Very relaxing and most effective. Restores posture to the body that causes a lot of our pain.
Esalen Massage is light and gentle in nature, emphasizing nurturing and empathy. Strokes are soft, easy and slow prompting deep relaxation. When you just want to relax and feel no pain. TLC at it's best.
Stretching benefits include increased mental and physical relaxation, reduced risk of injury to joints, muscles, and tendons, reduced muscular soreness and tension. Please wear comfortable clothes for stretching only sessions. You'll be amazed at how your circulation improves and you feel lighter and more energetic. I suggest everyone stretches on their own. I agree it's boring, but it is very beneficial. Focus on breathing, it helps distract the mind.
Swedish Massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize and relax the body. There is no way you can hold onto tension when you are being worked like a clump of dough.
Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Therapeutic Massage involves the use of sustained or slow gliding pressure in order to access the deeper layers of muscles. Helps with chronic pain. I recommend a pain level of 5-6 out of 10 (10 being excruciating). The body is already traumatized, no sense in traumatizing it further.
Personalized Massage is customized just for you. I determine what your bodies needs are by where you have indicated your pain is, visually (posture) and by touch (muscle tone) and then use the techniques above to facilitate the best route to giving you relief and making you feel better.
Specialized Massage Techniques
Pregnancy Massage: A full body massage that is soothing and relaxing to nerves and in relieving strained back and leg muscles. A massage that makes both mommy and baby very happy!
Hot Stone Therapy is a very unique and deeply relaxing massage. Basalt stones are heated and then oiled to slide smoothly over your skin. The heat and the weight of the stone is very soothing to your muscles. Feels really good, especially the tiny stones between your toes. 1.5 hours $60.00/session.
Cupping Therapy is the best form of deep tissue. Instead of pushing the blood into your muscles with massage, I use glass cups that have been heated to create a vacuum and then place them on your skin. The vacuum pulls the skin up into the glass thereby increasing circulation, loosening adhesions, drains excess fluids and toxins from stagnant muscles and skin. And you have a conversation starter for free. Perfectly circular rings on your back wherever the cups were placed. Can be added to any and all sessions.
