Integrated Massage
I have been
trained in a variety of different massage methods and
enjoy combining a variety of techniques into a session.
The massage session is designed to meet the goals and
needs of the client. This is the type of massage
most of my clients receive.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is
what most people think about when they
think of massage. Generally, the basic massage strokes such
as gliding, kneading, compression, rocking and friction
are used for a relaxing massage. Joint
movement and stretching techniques may be included.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
This form of
bodywork deals directly with the lymphatic system and
increasing the flow of lymphatic fluid either in a
specific area or throughout the whole body. This
approach is applied with very light pressure to
stimulate the body's natural lymphatic drainage.
Myofascial Release
Fascia or
connective tissue are the most abundant tissue in the
body and it supports, separates and provides
structure for the human body. Myofascial release
or connective tissue massage addresses this tissue when it
gets tight or bound up. The pressure of this
type of bodywork is generally light, but there are times when the
pressure is increased to reach deeper connective tissue
structures.
Craniosacral Therapy
This is a gentle
form of bodywork focused on the releasing the deeper
connective tissue structures that envelope the central
nervous system.
 The
goal of Craniosacral Therapy is to aid the body's
natural healing process. The amount of pressure is
generally very light and performed for a long time.
A few of the ailments that can be helped with
Craniosacral Therapy are TMJ syndrome, migraine or other
types of headaches, inner ear problems and releasing
some of the underlying causes of some chronic disorders.
Deep Tissue or Rehabilitative Massage
This type of
massage tends to be more focused on a specific area or
problem. The pressure may be increased to
release some of the
deeper muscles or connective tissue structures.
Ice applications may be recommended when this type of
massage is done.
Athletic Massage
The goal is to help the client
improve performance, aid recovery, and to help
rehabilitate from an injury.
This therapy uses a
combination of techniques such as stretching techniques
or compression focused on
a particular muscle group of the body to increase freedom of
movement.
Energy Work
It is a simple and powerful method of
natural healing that activates, balances and increases
the life force that is within every living being. We are
all born with the natural ability to take in and use
this energy to grow mentally, physically, emotionally
and spiritually. The trained practitioner knows how to
restore and balance this energy to help the body to heal
itself.
Hot
Stone Massage
An intense, yet deeply
relaxing massage using smooth, soothing basalt stones
that transfer heat deep into the muscles for a
magnificent tension release. One and one half hour
treatment
Chair or On Site Massage
This type of
massage is performed in a massage chair and is generally 10 or 15 minutes.
Chair massage is done with the client fully clothed.
The massage chair can be brought to a client's workplace,
event or a family gathering.
