An Integrated Approach to Fit Your Needs

 

WHY MASSAGE?

THERE ARE TOO MANY REASONS TO FEEL OUT OF PLACE IN THIS WORLD AND OFTEN THE STRESS OF EVERYDAY LIFE CAN LEAVE YOU FEELING LIKE SOMETHING JUST ISN’T RIGHT.  MASSAGE THERAPY IS MOST COMMONLY KNOWN FOR IT'S PHYSICAL BENEFITS, HOWEVER THE EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL GAINS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED. MASSAGE CAN BE A POWERFUL TOOL IN COMBATING PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL INSECURITIES.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOU AS MY PRACTITIONER?

THERE ARE A LOT OF MASSAGE PRACTITIONERS IN THIS AREA WITH A WIDE RANGE OF TRAINING AND SPECIALTY, SO IT CAN BE HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU WHEN IT COMES TO BODY WORK.  I SPECIALIZE IN HELPING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN YOURSELF AND CATERING A MASSAGE SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR NEEDS. USING A COMBINATION OF TRAINING AND INTUITION, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF MODALITIES ALLOWS ME TO CUSTOMIZE A MASSAGE SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TREAT WHAT AILS YOU.


SPECIAL MODALITIES AND TECHNIQUES:

I USE AN INTEGRATED APPROACH, BRINGING TOGETHER A NUMBER OF MODALITIES SUCH AS SWEDISH, DEEP TISSUE, MYOFASCIAL RELEASE AND NEUROMUSCULAR THERAPY (NMT) TO CREATE YOUR IDEAL THERAPY. NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED? WE CAN DISCUSS WHAT MODALITIES YOU’LL MOST BENEFIT FROM..

SWEEDISH MASSAGE:
THIS LIGHT TO MEDIUM PRESSURE HELPS RELIEVE STRESS, REDUCE PAIN, BOOST MOOD AND PROMOTE RELAXATION.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE:
DEEP TISSUE IS SIMILAR TO SWEDISH MASSAGE, BUT THE TECHNIQUE FOCUSES ON THE DEEPEST LAYER OF MUSCLES TO TARGET KNOTS AND RELEASE CHRONIC MUSCLE TENSION.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE:
ELIMINATE PAIN AND RESTORE MOTION BY APPLYING GENTLE SUSTAINED PRESSURE INTO THE MYOFASCIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTRICTIONS.

NEUROMUSULAR THERAPY (NMT):
THIS THERAPY TREATS UNDERLYING CAUSES OF CHRONIC PAIN INVOLVING THE MUSCULAR AND NERVOUS SYSTEMS. THIS MEDICALLY-ORIENTED FORM OF MASSAGE ADDRESSES TRIGGER POINTS (TENDER MUSCLES POINTS), CIRCULATION AND NERVE COMPRESSION.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY:
A TRIGGER POINT IS A TIGHT AREA WITHIN MUSCLE TISSUE THAT CAUSES PAIN IN OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY. TRIGGER POINT THERAPY IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ALLEVIATE THE SOURCE OF THE PAIN THROUGH CYCLES OF ISOLATED PRESSURE AND RELEASE.

PRENATAL/POSTNATAL/INDUCTION:
AN IDEAL THERAPEUTIC CHOICE FOR PRENATAL CARE, EACH MASSAGE DIFFERS BASED ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND REQUESTS.

HOT STONE:
HOT STONE MASSAGE THERAPY MELTS AWAY TENSION, EASES MUSCLE STIFFNESS AND INCREASES CIRCULATION AND METABOLISM.
